FLASH FORWARD... Weekly Message Synopses/Audio Messages Below
April 4th Easter FLASH FORWARD (Present Mary-Future Mary Drama)
Do you love Jesus? Oh, sure you do, but are you passionate about Him? Do you long to spend time with Him? The startling truth is that if we are really honest, many of us have lost our passion for His presence. Why is that? Today we learn the answer to that question and gain insight into how we can rekindle a passionate relationship with our Savior. Luke 7:36-50
April 11th REVELATION (No drama)
Revelation is a biblical book that we all know focuses in on future world events. However, it’s amazing how so many other books of the Bible are filled with practical, “futuristic” information about so many life issues such as marriage, parenting, money and friendship. Today we learn that if we follow the principles of God’s Word we will yield desirable futures. 2 Timothy 3:15-17
April 18th CATCHING A GLIMPSE (Drama: Examining Your Portfolio)
What if there was a worldwide event that let you see a “flash forward” of your future? When you think about what your future would look like in every area of your life, would you like what you see? The Bible tells us that Jesus desires to partner with us as we face the challenges of our futures. Are you willing to ask Jesus to guide you in every area of your life? Matthew 11:28-30
April 25th RELATIONSHIP FUTURES (No drama)
For our relationships to move positively into the future, often we need to revisit our past. To move forward, we may need to right the wrongs of our past. If we are willing to do this, God will honor our humility and a positive future can be achieved. Luke 19:1-10; Matthew 5:23-24
May 2nd TODAY’S DECISION, FUTURE CONSEQUENCES (Drama: Reallocating Your Investments)
Whatever decision you make today will result in a future consequence. One decision can work out for great future gain, while another may lead to unpleasant consequences. When we violate God's principles today, you may see an immediate “gain”, however there will be future consequences that will not be good. Therefore, we must always say “yes” to the principles of God's Word if we want to reap future blessing in our lives. Galatians 6:7
May 9th FAIL FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE (Drama: Recouping Your Losses)
We all have past failures. So the question is, “How can we leverage our failures for the future?” If we allow God to work in our failures, He will equip us to move positively into the future and help others going through similar circumstances. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
May 16th FUTURE FRIENDS (Drama: Avoiding Another Downturn)
If you want to see permanent change in an area of your life, you must connect with people that are moving in the direction you want to go. Life change requires more than commitment, reading your Bible and going to church. If there is no one who will help you move into the future in your life, you need to change who we’re spending time with. Who will be your future friends? Proverbs 13:20
May 23rd ULTIMATELY (Drama: Retirement Planning)
Ultimately where will you spend your future? No, I’m not asking, “Where will you retire,” but where will you spend eternity. Not many people put much thought into what happens after death. But the Bible is clear that there are only two “options”; Heaven and Hell. Jesus tells us in John 3 that we must believe in Him in order to secure the Ultimate Retirement home. Have you secured your place in Heaven? John 3:1-18

The Easter Message was in three parts. Before the message began we had a drama that compared and contrasted the passion Mary Magdalene had for Jesus with a Present "Mary" who has lost her passion.
Between part 1 and part 2, we showed a video clip of an artist painting a picture. We don't discover what the painting is until "It Is Finished."
Then between part 2 and part 3 we played a video clip from Flash Forward asking us to examine ourselves in light of what could be and should be our future. TOTAL TIME for the three parts is 21 Minutes
