Money. We spend our lives working to get more of it, stressing about the lack of it and wondering where it all went. We tend to believe that just a little more would fix everything.

Jesus talked about money all the time. It can’t be all bad, right?  So what is myth and what is truth? The Bible has a wealth of advice about money. See what God has to say about healthy ways to view and use our money.

“More” will change things… but it’s not always the “more” we think.

Things don’t always go how we plan. Stuff happens. Hardship is a reality. When those moments come, we can forget we are not alone. That God has not abandoned us. It can be hard to see how God is at work, but He is.

Ruth tells the story of how God kept his promises to one family through the hardships they experience on their journey. God cares for us, often in ways we can’t see or imagine. God promised He would.

Wouldn’t it be nice if family came with an instruction manual? Something to help you navigate marriage and parenting and relationships? Something to help you know how to “family” better? You’re in luck. Join us as we dig into the book of Proverbs to better understand how God created us to live and function together. We could all use help sometimes because family can be hard… family can be challenging… family can be messy.

Stories help us remember the past, the present, the aches, the scars, who we are, who God is. The Ridge has a story to tell everyone of all God is doing and all He has done. So today, as we gather, we are here to remember what happened five years ago this September. So, listen to a story of some triumphs and aches of a church that wants to do whatever it takes.

We like “real” things. Words like off-brand, generic and knockoff all have a slightly negative feel to them. We want the genuine article, the real deal, the ‘based on a true story’ story. Authenticity resonates with us. We find it compelling. It’s no different when it comes to matters of faith. We want to invest our lives in the real thing. In 1 Kings 18, Elijah confronts people with a simple question: If God is real, isn’t He worth following?

RAW - The Psalms give unique insight into the hearts and minds of regular people as they interact with God. The full range of human emotion is displayed, sometimes in ways that are more real than we expect. They show that God is big enough to engage with our every emotion, whether we feel grateful or angry, wonder or confusion, joy or pain. We don’t have to filter our feelings or clean ourselves up. We can come to God real and raw.

The Takeaway - Jesus tells a good story; the Bible is full of them. People learn best through stories, so He often shared timeless truth woven through a narrative. It was a purposeful way to communicate significant spiritual concepts in ways people understood and related to. Jesus’ goal wasn’t to entertain people. There was always something meaningful about the character of God and the hope of the good news that He wanted them to understand. What do we take away from these parables?
