We humans are creatures of habit. Sometimes our habits are good, healthy and helpful. Other times, however, our habits are not good, unhealthy and unhelpful and they lead to real problems in our marriages and in our families. We feel helpless to fix things. We feel stuck. We believe that Jesus wants to help us become Unstuck. We believe that the Bible offers practical help for us in our most intimate, important relationships. In this 6-week teaching series, we will explore and bring to light unhealthy patterns that tend to plague us in our marriages and in our parenting. Our teachers will offer practical teaching from the book of Romans, chapter 12, that we believe God will use to help each one of us become Unstuck and to move toward healthy and happy ways of living life together in our families and friendships.

God has created us to be in relationships with other people. ALL kinds of other people! So, one of the earliest things we learn is how to get along with other people. Remember that assessment category on your kindergarten report card - “Plays well with others?” Playing well with others is not always easy. In fact, it can be downright difficult. People can be difficult! We can be difficult! But the truth is, one of the most challenging aspects of life - getting along with others - can also be one of the most rewarding. However, we have to work at it. How can we get better at being human - being a healthy human - who gets along well with others? This series will look at four practical ways in which we can improve our relationship skills and our ability to love others well. This is important stuff for the church.

God often turns up unannounced, uninvited, unrecognized. God appears in the Bible as stranger more often than we realize. God also appears in our lives as stranger more often than we recognize. This is true in the Advent story. God appears in this story as both friend and stranger. He comes to earth in ways none of us would ever have dreamed of. His interactions with the people involved are often odd and hard to understand. And all the while, God is at work moving His rescue plan of this world forward and inviting ordinary people, just like us, to join with him in his work.

Bad religion shrinks and kills our hearts. Bad religion lacks love and puts our focus in the wrong places. Bad religion often raised the ire of Jesus and we find pieces of bad religion in each of our hearts. Jesus came to bring light and hope to us who so easily slip into bad religion.
