Scripture Reference: Hebrews 10:19-25 We’re walking into second new year more than a little timid, which means we need a reason to boost our confidence. The good news-we have one! Connect Card - cc.AshleyRidgeChurch.org Giving - give.ashleyridgechurch.org

Ezekiel 37:1-14 2020 has felt like a series of gut punches - we just keep getting the wind knocked out of us and yet, here we are at a new beginning. So how do we move forward and begin again well? Turns out God has plenty to say….. we just need to breathe.

Scripture Reference: Romans 5:1-11 Much like the game of baseball, the life of faith is marked by defining moments, but measured with grace. The question is not “how good is good enough?” but rather, “How good is our God?

Scripture Reference: John 16:16-33 Things happen in life and we start to ask ourselves, “Why is this happening? What does this mean?” We want there to be order to the universe. We want to assign meaning to things so that nothing, and especially our trouble, feels like it’s in vain. But is that really how things work? Jesus actually has some things to say about the things life throws our way.

Scripture Reference: John 8:2-11 To be a follower, a disciple, a student of Jesus is not to get it all right right away, but growing in our faith is not just necessary, it’s essential. So how do we do it? Jesus’ encounter with a woman at the well has a few things to teach us.

Luke 23:32-43 You don’t always get what you deserve—and that’s a good thing. Celebrate grace, mercy, and second chances in a message from Pastor Jenn Williams and see why there’s hope, even when what we deserve is death.

Scripture Reference: John 13:34-35 Jesus shared a lot of wisdom in the Bible. And lately, He also seems to say a lot of other stuff on social media, too. But where’s the line between what He actually told us, and the Things Jesus Never Said?

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 10:13 and Luke 11:5-13 Jesus shared a lot of wisdom in the Bible. And lately, He also seems to say a lot of other stuff on social media, too. But where’s the line between what He actually told us, and the Things Jesus Never Said?

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 1 & 3 and also the Gettysburg Address In 1954 the phrase "Under God" was taken from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and added to the Pledge of Allegiance. But long before either of those events took place, Paul described what it meant to find freedom under God. Join us for this special Independence Day message on how we live our freedom together.

Scripture Reference: Zechariah 4:1-7 -------------------------------------------------- For many of us, life feels all uphill right now and we’re tired. The natural response is to level up, but what if Jesus showed us a different approach? How do we keep going? It starts with a different well. #ForSummerville #BetterTogetherSC #ForSVL #BetterForIt

Scripture Reference: Proverbs 25:28 For many of us, there's something we wish we'd been doing all along to prepare for what is happening now. Whatever lessons we’re learning, now is the time to start putting them into practice. -------------------------------------------------- Connect Card - cc.AshleyRidgeChurch.org Giving - give.ashleyridgechurch.org

Scripture Reference: Luke 2:25-35 It’s going to take an uncommon church, with everything in common, to share Jesus in an uncommon time, uncommon circumstances, and in uncommon places.

Scripture Reference: Ruth 1:11-18 It’s going to take an uncommon church, with everything in common, to share Jesus in an uncommon time, uncommon circumstances, and in uncommon places. We need a church willing to build in fields where no one else is building, to reach people no one else is reaching. This week we’re talking about an uncommon posture.

Scripture Reference: Hosea 1-3 It’s going to take an uncommon church, with everything in common, to share Jesus in an uncommon time, uncommon circumstances, and in uncommon places. We need a church willing to build in fields where no one else is building, to reach people no one else is reaching.

Did you say anything you regret this week? How about the last five minutes? We’re stuck here in the meantime and we’re all getting a little bit tired, a little bit cranky, a little bit DONE. James, the brother of Jesus, had some pretty strong things to say about the power of our words and how to use them. So how do we handle our words and our thoughts while we’re waiting. Scripture Reference: James 3:2-12

Philippians 4:10-13 We’re all spending a lot of time and energy trying to convince the world, and ourselves, of all the things we can do. And then when it becomes glaringly obvious to us, the world, or both, that we can’t - we disintegrate, we hide, we let our discontentment drive us in all sorts of sideways and self-destructive directions…but what if Jesus had a better way?

Scripture Reference: Acts 1:1-8 We’re impatient people. What do we do when we feel stuck in the waiting? What do we do in the meantime? Do we have to have all the answers to be obedient?

It's Easter Jam for the whole fam! Join us for this fun, family-friendly interactive Easter Experience.

Join us for this special worship experience, including communion. We'll receive communion together during the service, but in order to be prepared, please have bread or crackers along with juice, water, or whatever you have in your home with you at the start of the service. We can't celebrate and embrace the fullness of Easter without spending time together at the cross, remembering how much God gave up for you and me.
