  • Remember the Titans

In 1971 Virginia, after leading his team to 15 winning seasons, football coach Bill Yoast was demoted and replaced by Herman Boone. These two men overcame their differences and turned a group of hostile young men into champions. Remember the Titans is based on a true story of how a town, torn apart by resentment, friction, and mistrust, comes together. 

 Almost 2000 years earlier, there was another group of Titans who lived in the city of Corinth. They had abilities, talent, money, and they had Christ, but their environment allowed them to use their new Christian faith as a vehicle to amplify their own self-centeredness. 

The apostle Paul, who pastored them, coached them, and had lived with them for 18 months, wrote to them. His hope was that they would become champions in reaching their city, and beyond, with the great news of Jesus Christ. We could learn a lot from these Titans of old and we might just find that, if we followed Coach Paul’s advice, we could be the best team and the best church that we could be!

  • Remember the Titans - Part 1: Disagreements

    Most of us run from disagreements. It's just too easy for them to get out of hand. What are some of the simple disagreements that you have seen just go too far? In the first part of Remember the Titans, we will try to unpack how we can, in a healthy way, avoid disagreements going too far and how to come back from them when they create a disagreeable spirit. If you have a chance, prepare by reading 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 (page 778 in an SCC chair rack Bible).

  • Remember the Titans - Part 3: That's My Kid!

    When do you think you are most like Jesus? Many of us might say not too often. But the reality is, we can all be like Jesus and it just may be, you are like Him more than you think. Why would we want to be like Jesus? I am guessing most of us would like to have our Heavenly Father say something like He said about Jesus about us. There is this moment when God, His Father says this about Jesus:
     

    Then suddenly the voice of the Father shouted from the sky, saying, "This is the Son I love, and my greatest delight is in him."  Matthew 3:17 TPT


    The greatest delight in the Son comes from His obedience expressed through serving. Back to our original question; When are we the most like Jesus? When we are serving! Serving God through serving others.

    Think of someone who has served you—someone who has gone out of his or her way to respond to a need in your life. How did he or she serve you? How did that make you feel? When we serve someone, we figuratively say, "That's my kid!" Most of the time, when my Dad on earth has said that, it makes me feel pretty satisfied with what ever I'm doing. How much more satisfaction is there when it is our Heavenly Father that claims us as His kid!

  • Remember the Titans - Part 4: Keep Your Eye on the Ball

    What kind of drivers make you uncomfortable? Imagine driving up the California coast when the driver didn't want to miss at thing. You might be sitting in the back seat with your door unlocked so if you went off one of those sea cliffs, you would be able to jump out. In car racing it is said, “Your car goes where your eyes go.” That sure would feel true as you drift to the edge of the road when the driver wanted to see more of the homes that dotted the sea coast. The idea that you go where your eyes go is true in most of life. It is even true in our spiritual lives.

    Join us as we jump back into our fall series, Remember the Titans, with Part 4: Keep Your Eye on the Ball and unpack the idea that what our eyes are on will almost always pull our life and even our church in that direction. That pull can show up in wonderful ways, tragic ways, or even just empty ways. I'm guessing most of us would opt for wonderful ways, so you won't want to miss it!

  • Remember the Titans - Part 4B: Keep Your Eye on the Ball

  • Remember the Titans - Part 5: Listen

    In Remember the Titans, the team had to have stated and unstated principles for the way they would play the game. These were more than just rules for the game of football. Those principles would reflect who the Titans were and who they were becoming. On a personal level, principles like these reflect how we live life. As a church, we refer to these principles as core values, which are like anchors for how we interact with the world around us. Seneca Community Church has five Core Values and the first two go under the heading "Listening."
     

    Join us as we talk about these two core values and how they are connected with listening. Listening not only impacts the way a church lives out its vision and mission but the way we live our individual lives. It is a game-changer can even be a heart-changer. Get a head start by reading Matthew 13:1-13 (page 666 in an SCC chair rack Bible).

  • Remember the Titans - Part 6: Whose Is It?

    Why do people get fired up about paying taxes? Do you know someone who refuses to pay taxes? How is that working for them? Some of the indigestion we get over taxes is the amount of our money that is being taken and some is what it used for or wasted for. After all, it's our money, isn't it?

    This week in Remember the Titans, we continue to see how their team had to have stated and unstated principles for the way they would play the game. These were more than just rules for the game of football. These principles would reflect who the Titans were and who they were becoming. On a personal level, principles like these reflect how we live life. As a church, we refer to these principles as core values, which are like anchors for how we interact with the world around us. Seneca Community Church has five Core Values. This Sunday we will look at the third core value under the heading Whose Is It?  

    Jesus had some interest thoughts on this topic. Get a head start by reading Mark 12:13–17 (page 692 in an SCC chair rack Bible) and Mark 12:41-43 (page 693).

  • Remember the Titans - Part 7: Dare to Care

    How does it affect your listening when you know someone cares? When was the last time you listened to some hard stuff from a person that cares for you? How did it affect your response? How well do you find people are listening to you when they know you genuinely care? What are some of your obstacles to Daring to Care?

    This week in Remember the Titans, we continue to see how their team had to have stated and unstated principles for the way they would play the game. These were more than just rules for the game of football. These principles would reflect who the Titans were and who they were becoming. On a personal level, principles like these reflect how we live life. As a church, we refer to these principles as core values, which are like anchors for how we interact with the world around us. Seneca Community Church has five Core Values. This Sunday we will look at a fourth core value under the heading "Daring to Care."

  • Remember the Titans - Part 8: A Real Imitation

    How difficult is it to be close to a friend who is also a friend to someone you have a fractured relationship with? How do you navigate the relationship and remain close when you're holding something back? 

    This Sunday we will finish up our series, Remember the Titans, as well as look at our fifth core value, "We build authentic community" as we unpack the statement, “We can’t be fully present with others unless we are present with God.”
