A Light In the Darkness: Spiritual Warfare

What do we do with the biblical stories of angels and demons, spiritual forces, witchcraft, and Satan? Are we supposed to take this seriously or read it as ancient superstition? And what do we do if and when we experience things in this life that we can’t explain through normal means? What if we find ourselves confronted with spiritual forces that we don’t know how to deal with? In this series we confront some issues that many Christians try to avoid or ignore, because we want to take the Bible seriously and be prepared for whatever challenges we face in this world - natural and supernatural.

John, the beloved disciple of Jesus, wrote a letter to his congregation encouraging them to keep the love of Jesus at the center of their lives and their community. Too often churches look for other purposes to feel like they are having a bigger impact in the world. But what if we sought to live out the lives that Jesus called us to? What if we sought to love God and our neighbors and nothing else? In this series, we’ll experiment with putting love at the center.

How to Be a Better Heretic

The Bible serves both as a treasure map and as cautionary tape - inviting us forward and warning us about wrong paths. Historically, when the church has made decisions about “cautionary tape,” about wrong teachings, it has called them “heresy.” In this series, we will look at places that the Bible and the Church have put up cautionary tape and see how some of those warnings have been ignored in our modern world. However, Jesus holds open to us the promise of healthy, loving, and good life which can be found in him.

Who Was Jesus?: Studies in the gospel of Luke

Was Jesus who we thought he was? It seems like everyone who thought they knew him at some point or another was caught off guard by what he said and did. That probably means that people who spend a lot of time around church might still be surprised if they met Jesus face to face. Luke wants to teach us about the Jesus we never knew, the Jesus who can still surprise us.

The Sword and the Trowel

2021 is going to be a year of rebuilding our world, and the Bible contains one of the best rebuilding stories in history! This series of studies will explore the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, a time in the history of God’s people when their nation had been torn down and needed to be reconstructed. At Real Life Church, we look to opening a new campus this year, so building will be on our minds in the months to come!

Unstuck: Following God in Tiring Times

2020 has not been a stellar year. Some of us started singing Christmas carols in September in hopes that it would get the year over faster. We’ve been stuck in political squabbles, stuck in anxiety over health issues, stuck at home. It’s been jarring and it’s been scarring. There’s hope! The answer to a world that can leave you with nothing is the God who still has everything. There is no depth so low that God cannot lift you out of it, and in this series we’ll remember the promises of God for tiring times.

Jesus Is Not King

The Bible tells us that Jesus is “King of Kings and Lord of Lords,” and that “his kingdom shall never end.” Yet Jesus refused to be made king when the people tried to force kingship upon him (John 6:15), and God told the people not to desire a king (1 Samuel 8). Discover the kind of lordship Jesus promises for our lives, the implications that has for how we deal with the powers of this world, and the kind of love Christians are called to demonstrate at all times, especially during an ornery election season.
