WEEKEND CHITCHAT
Quick catch-up: “What did y’all get into this weekend?”

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE
“What stood out to you from this week’s reading?”

SUNDAY DISH

Week three of Receipt, Pastor Jamey’s message “Return Policy” takes us back to the Garden to rethink how we handle everything God has placed in our hands. Our possessions can’t carry the weight of our identity or security. Instead, we’re called to receive God’s gifts with gratitude, enjoy them, cultivate what He’s entrusted to us, and share them with others.

Q1: The Box in the Trunk

When a purchase needs to go back, do you return it right away or let it ride around in your trunk for a month?

Q2: When More Becomes a Burden

Jamey, you talked about possessions promising peace but sometimes creating anxiety. When has something you thought would make life easier actually added pressure?

Q3: Before There Was Money

Why start a message about money in Genesis 1, before money even existed?

Follow-up: What does that teach us about the difference between owning something and being entrusted with it?

Q4: Enjoy the Gift

You said, “God’s gifts are meant to be enjoyed.” Where’s the line between enjoying what God has given us and depending on it for security?

Q5: The Bread in Our Hands

The Big Idea asks, “What does God want me to do with everything He has placed in my hands?” When someone beside us has far less, what makes that question difficult to act on?

Follow-up: What could we do together as a church that would be harder to do alone?

Q6: More to Offer Than We Think

For someone who feels like they have little to offer, where would you start in helping them recognize a gift God has already placed in their hands?

Follow-up: What’s one small way they could cultivate and share it this week?

What are we really trusting money to do for us?

Made For Mondays | Episode 308

The Bible for Grown-Ups: What Matters Most

What happens when the questions we have about faith grow up with us?

This week on Made For Mondays, Joe sits down with Pastor Doug, Chelle, and Meghan to talk about the heart of The Bible for Grown-Ups series: Jesus—especially His death and resurrection—is at the center of the whole story.

We’ll talk about growing from a kid-sized faith into a faith that can wrestle with real-life questions, why the resurrection is so important, and what it looks like to pass on what we’ve received without being preachy or forced.

In this episode:

• How our understanding of familiar Bible stories changes as we grow
• Why the resurrection is the hinge of Christian faith
• How adult questions can deepen our faith
• What it means to pass on a faith that was passed down to us
• How keeping Jesus at the center can reshape our everyday lives

Made For Mondays | The Bible for Grown-Ups: The Old Testament

What if the Old Testament isn’t just a collection of ancient rules—but the beginning of a much bigger story?

This week on Made For Mondays, we take a 30,000-foot look at the Old Testament and how its stories, people, failures, promises, and prophecies all point toward Jesus. We’ll talk about why historical context matters, how to approach difficult passages, and what Israel’s story teaches us about God’s faithfulness.

In this episode:

• Why understanding the backstory can change how we read the Bible
• How the Old Testament points us toward Jesus
• What happens when culture starts shaping our definition of success
• What it means to read the Old Testament for inspiration without treating it like a modern rulebook
• How God’s faithfulness gives us something to trust when our own stories feel unfinished

Plus, we tackle a question from the Q-Bar about the history of the Quran.

Made For Mondays | The Bible for Grown-Ups: Why Do People Matter?

What if some of our biggest questions about the Bible are actually pointing us toward an even bigger question: What does God say about us?

This week on Made For Mondays, we continue The Bible for Grown-Ups by talking about Genesis, creation, questions about science and faith, and what it means to be made in the image of God. We’ll explore where we find our worth—and what our strongest reactions might reveal about what we’ve allowed to define us.

In this episode:

• Can questions actually deepen our faith?
• What is Genesis really trying to tell us?
• Who gets to determine our worth?
• What does it mean to be made in God’s image?
• What do our strongest emotional reactions reveal about us?

After catching up on the weekend and talking about the Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation dives into Sunday's message about how Christianity began—not with a finished Bible, but with people who believed they had encountered the risen Jesus. Together, they explore eyewitness testimony, honest questions about Scripture, and why Jesus remains at the center of our faith.

In this episode:

• Weekend highlights
• Bible Reading Challenge discussion
• How our personal Bible experiences shape the way we read Scripture
• What Luke tells us about eyewitnesses and the early church
• Why “something happened” is at the heart of Christianity
• How questions about the Bible can lead us back to Jesus
• Why reading John can be a great place to start when exploring faith

If you've ever had questions about the Bible, struggled with a difficult passage, or simply wondered where it all came from, this conversation is for you.

Join us this Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we continue The Bible for Grown-Ups. We'd love to see you and your guests! If you can't make it in person, join us on YouTube at 1:00 PM.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Pastors Doug, Jamey, and Lauren as they unpack one of life's biggest questions: Am I actually living the life I'm meant for?

After catching up on the weekend and reflecting on this week's Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation dives deeper into Sunday's message from Ephesians 2:10. Together, they discuss how our purpose flows from our identity in Christ, why we don't have to earn God's approval, and how the life God has prepared for us is often found in the ordinary opportunities already in front of us.

In this episode:

• Weekend highlights
• Bible Reading Challenge discussion
• Why purpose begins with identity, not achievement
• Living from grace instead of striving for approval
• Finding purpose in everyday moments
• Serving from God's love, not for God's love
• Taking the next faithful step Jesus is calling you to today

Join us this Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we continue our journey together. We'd love to see you and your guests, or you can watch online on YouTube at 1:00 PM.

Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Heather, Christina Southall and Philip McFarland as they continue our Campfire Stories series by tackling a topic that can make almost everyone a little uncomfortable: What does God actually say about money?

After catching up on the weekend and reflecting on the Bible Reading Challenge, the conversation shifts from dollars and budgets to something much deeper. Together, they explore why Jesus talked so often about money, how generosity shapes our hearts, and why giving is less about fundraising and more about becoming more like Christ.

In this episode:

• Weekend highlights
• Bible Reading Challenge discussion
• Why money conversations can feel uncomfortable
• The difference between loving money and using it well
• How generosity forms our faith
• Personal stories of God's faithfulness through giving
• Why Jesus' generosity changes the way we view everything we have

Join us this Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 AM as we continue Campfire Stories. And don't forget to stick around after the second service on August 9 for Get the Scoop, where we'll celebrate what God has done through your generosity and look ahead to what's next for Believers.

Go Be Love!
