The Mystery of Unbelief | April 11, 2021

MESSAGE NOTES & HOMEWORK

John 12:37-50

37Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him. 38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:
“Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:
40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.”
41Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.
42Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; 43for they loved human praise more than praise from God.
44Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. 46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
47“If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day. 49For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. 50I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”

WHAT'S HAPPENING

Group UP

April 11-23 | All Campuses

A healthy part of our spiritual lives is walking alongside others who are seeking to understand what it means to draw near to Jesus. We believe that our lives are meant to be lived in community, not in isolation. One way to do this is through a small group. In small groups, we care for each other—praying, studying the Bible, encouraging each other and taking steps to grow in our faith journey.

Serve Week

April 19-24 | Various Locations

We have a long history of serving our local community at Door Creek Church. This year we are spreading out the love and serving in small groups all over our community with local organizations doing great work. Let's get out there and serve!

Membership Class

April 22 | 6:30-8 PM | Online

This class serves as one of your steps for growth at Door Creek Church. Whether you want to join the church or just want to find out more about who we are and why we do things the way we do, you’ll enjoy getting to know our pastors and each other during the class. This class is also a requirement for membership at Door Creek Church and is open to those who attend any of our three locations.

Upward Soccer

Thursdays, May 6-June 3 | 5:30-7 PM

DCC Kids is excited to bring back Upward Soccer this May! Two things drive this soccer league—building kids’ character while developing their soccer skills and the desire to tell every child about Jesus. A soccer league for all players, regardless of skill level or experience. Per PHMDC, all players will be required to wear masks. Camp is for all kids, grades K-2. Cost: $49/player

#FillTheVan

Tuesdays | 9 AM-2 PM | Sprecher Road Campus

Wednesday, April 28 | 3-5 PM | DeForest Campus

It's an awkward time to engage in service, but there is a need and we have a strategic opportunity to serve. Help us #FillTheVan with nonperishables and toiletries to support the students of our partner schools. Each Tuesday the Door of Hope van will be parked by the main entrance of Sprecher Road Campus to be filled up! There also will be a van in the DeForest Campus parking lot on Wednesday, April 28 that will support the Village of DeForest Food Pantry.

You can also use this Target Registry to help #FillTheVan from your own home!

Video Devotionals

We hope you’ve had the chance to join us for video devotionals, as we’ve been working our way through Psalms. They’re an expression of worship, prayer and praise for God's people in all cultures and circumstances. They also give voice to the universal emotions of pain, longing, doubt and even despair—emotions every believer experiences.

If you’d like the Video Devotionals to show up to your inbox each day, we can make that happen! Fill out this form to subscribe.

Check out the full calendar for all of our upcoming events and group opportunities.
