E! Teaching

When money talks it usually says, “Good Bye”! What is money saying to you, and what are you saying to money in 2018? Is this your year to get it right? Sunday, Jared launches a series, “Right On The Money”, as we ask, "Why not get the money right in 2018"?

“It’s complicated”. Good way to tell friends the relationship went bad. “KISS”. Keep it simple (you know the word). Is believing ‘Complicated’ or ‘KISS’? Belief might be easier than you’ve made it. Get simple - Sunday.

This weekend come and hear a fascinating story of the life, death and life again of a man named Lazarus. What does his story and encounter with Jesus have to teach us in our busy culture today?

Does belief mean the absence of doubt? Belief is not static. Our doubts, questions, and skepticism can be part of following Jesus! They were for Jesus' disciples. What about you? Explore what it means to believe and enjoy the surprises along the trail! What do weddings, wine and belief have in common? Jesus gave the ultimate wedding gift to a couple and used it to demonstrate who he really is. His followers got a faith infusion. How can you grow in belief? Join us this Sunday for a wedding story that will challenge your ideas about doubt and give you a faith burst!

“If you believe in yourself it will happen.” "Just believe.” “Anything can happen if you believe.” Really? Sunday we launch a series called “BELIEVE” straight from the words and life of Jesus in the book of John. The word believe is used 97 times by John. Let’s examine how American culture uses belief, and how we can believe more and better - per Jesus.

Every relationship has a beginning…some dramatic, others sneak up on you, some rocky, still others filled with passion, and some filled with doubts and questions, others with fun adventure. How would you describe your relationship with Jesus right now? Join us for a conversation on what’s next for YOU!!!

Ann and I hiked to the top of a mountain this week. All was well until the trip back. We took the wrong trail and got lost. We finally got to our destination but…. what a detour! As we start a new year, let’s define the Evergreen destination and be on the right trail together. Where are we going in 2018? Explore the trail with us this Sunday!

Who is God to you? As creatures of habit, we tend to stick with the God that we find most familiar. It’s no wonder we get confused when God acts in ways that are unfamiliar or unrecognizable. Come to this family friendly service and hear about the beautiful complexity of God and how it is we can broaden our understanding in order to see what He’s up to in our lives.

Dear Santa, I know what you said about listening to my parents but things are not going too good on that. I’ve been trying hard but its just not working. So Santa, maybe you could help me because I’m trying to get on the nice list and there are only 5 more days left till Christmas. This sounds like a letter some of us might write to Jesus! Good news! Jesus has a love list not a naughty list—and you are on it! Christmas Eve at Evergreen—For You!

Re-Gifting -- the art of passing on bad gifts to unsuspecting others. But what if Re-Gifting actually passed on the best gift to others? That's exactly what "God Through Us" is about. Sunday lets learn the art of spiritual re-gifting.

Babies. They can stop people on the streets, evoke oohs and ah's from complete strangers, and their smiles can brighten the day of anyone in sight. Maybe that's why we like to linger at the manger. Baby Jesus is safer than Jesus all grown up. The grown up Jesus wants to come live in us and that changes everything. How does that happen? This weekend at Evergreen! See you there!

"He's making a list and checking it twice. Gonna find out who's naughty and nice. Santa Claus is comin' to town”. Can you hear the tune? A Christmas song hoping to scare kid’s into behaving well. You might have been taught that God is like that - making a list…focused on your naughties. Sunday we’ll explode that myth. God loves you so much that he came to be with you - God with Us.

Does Church really make a difference? What does the Bible say about gathering? Does God actually care about my Church involvement? Join us this weekend to discuss these vital questions and be equipped to respond to a growing anti-church culture.

Saturday morning and you hear a knock on your door - magazines. Or, guys in white shirts on bicycles. Yikes. Is that what you have to do to share your faith? Sunday let’s tear the bad rap off the good news, and figure out how to share your faith story.

Someone has said, “Money is the opposite of the weather. Nobody talks about it, but everybody does something about it.” Jesus, on the other hand, did. He talked about money even more than prayer or faith. Hmmm, what does He know that we don't? Let's have a bold conversation about money...a Jesus conversation that sets us free to live life to the full! Sunday @ Evergreen.

When Jesus is in Charge... You don't want to miss out on His plans! Join us as we welcome Sean Sottile, executive pastor at Church on the Way, in Santa Clarita California. The fun part of the story is that he grew up at Evergreen, went to Life Bible College, and had his heart captured by a girl named Katie. He and his wife Katie have two wonderful kids with a third one on the way! We will be on the edge of our seats with you! See you Sunday!

Jesus was interrupted--a lot. Many of His opportunities to serve others happened in those interruptions. How do we interrupt our lives to love and serve others, here, near and far? This week three people share their stories of how God asked them to make room in their lives for more---more love, more service, and more of His big world. Guaranteed--you won't go home the same! See you Sunday!

You are good. For what!? None of us are good for everything. All us us are good for something. Sunday, Jared leads us on a discovery journey about how we are wired for purpose. Don’t waste your time growing from bad to mediocre. Focus on growing in your gifts from good to great. On Purpose. For Purpose.

Las Vegas Shooting - how can we explain such evil? How can this happen in our well-educated, affluent, sophisticated society? Sunday, Jared unpacks the reality of an enemy that declared war against all that God loves including you. Let’s learn about our enemy and how to fight and win.

Let's be honest, some of us would prefer not to talk about suffering at all, much less in the same breath as God. This week we tackle something that is on the minds of many of us after the horrific shooting in Las Vegas. Joe Wittwer, pastor of Life Center in Spokane, Washington, will be with us. Join us as we experience the God of hope--who is at work even in our darkest moments.
