Maplewood Nazarene

Sometimes we know what we need to do, but we lack the courage to do it. This week at Maplewood, we’re exploring two familiar stories from the Bible to help us have the courage to take that next step with Jesus.

What does is required for us to take that “next step” with Jesus? This morning, Pastor Joe explores the stories of King David and Mary–the mother of Jesus–as Maplewood continues its series of lessons on going deeper with Jesus than we ever have before.

This week at Maplewood, we are continuing to exploring how we can figure out the NEXT STEPS Jesus wants us to take with him, both individually and as a faith family. Pastor Joe explores the reality that we often don’t feel qualified for what God seems to be calling us into by taking a closer look at the stories of Moses and the Apostle Paul.

This week, Maplewood continues to look at familiar people in the Bible and seeking to learn from them as we go deeper in our walk with Jesus. What do the stories of Abraham and Peter teach us about taking the next step with Jesus? Listen to find out….

It’s the first Sunday of the New Year and at Maplewood we are exploring what could be possible as we follow Jesus into 2024. How do we discern what Jesus wants us to do what is next? This week Pastor Joe–who is a big fan of The West Wing–taps into Luke 3 to help provide some potential answers to that question.

As we usher in 2024, Maplewood welcomes guest speaker Bryan Knurek this week to close out the holiday season. This week, Pastor Bryan visits us with a message that will challenge us was we close out the old year and bring in the new. Join us as we talk about living into God’s will for our lives….

Do you go overboard for Christmas? Most of us do. This week at Maplewood, we explore our propensity to go overboard in celebrating this holiday and how it relates to the TRUE meaning of Christmas…

The story of Christmas echoes through the entirety of Scripture. This week we explore the echoes of Christmas and what it takes to turn off all the noise so we can embrace the true meaning of the Advent season.

The Christmas season is known as the “gift giving” season. But what is the history behind this tradition of generosity during the Advent season? What is the origin story of Christmas gifts and giving? This week at Maplewood, we are taking a crack at answering these questions so that we can REALLY be ready for Christmas this year!

As we strive to become a people of prayer we will be called into action–to join God in His work right where we live. This week at Maplewood, we’re kicking off the Advent season and exploring how this principle is lived out in the story of Mary in Luke 1.
