BELIEVE - WEEKEND SERVICES
We want to see you believe in who Jesus is and step into an intimate relationship with Him! We believe God's word changes lives, and the transforming message of the Gospel is waiting to be experienced as you walk through the doors of Bloom Church. This is so much more than practicing a religion, but participating in an intimate relationship that God wants to have with YOU!
BELONG - LIFEGROUPS
We want to see you belong to a life-giving community where you can be vulnerable to discover healing, develop friendships, and contribute so others can experience the same. Life groups are small groups of people who meet together regularly to grow in life together. To view a list of available groups and times, visit our website at bloomhere.org/groups
BECOME - DREAM TEAM
We want to see you become the disciple that God created you to be and make a difference that echoes for all eternity! God's ultimate plan for your life is that you make a positive impact on other peoples lives with the strengths God has given you. It is then that you can experience the full life that He wants for you. Through the Dream Team, we hope to connect every person to an opportunity to live their calling through serving. To get connected to serving on our Dream Team, join us for Open House!
OPEN HOUSE
OPEN HOUSE is your first step to getting plugged in here at Bloom, and a fun opportunity for us to get to know each other better!

We will also explore ways for you to connect into our community, and see you discover how you can use the unique gifts God has given you to make a difference.

THE BOOK OF JAMES:
Week 4: Get Off the Throne
Week 4: Get Off the Throne
THRONE ISSUE
IT'S BECUASE WE KEEP TRYING TO SIT ON A THRONE THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO US
IT'S BECUASE WE KEEP TRYING TO SIT ON A THRONE THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO US
1. RECOGNIZE THERE'S A WAR FOR THE THRONE
YOUR HEART IS A THRONE ROOM
When you’re on the throne—your prayers become DEMANDS.
When Jesus is on the throne—your prayers become SURRENDER.
When Jesus is on the throne—your prayers become SURRENDER.
2. STOP PLAYING BOTH SIDES
We want God’s blessing…
But we don’t always want His boundaries.
We want GOD’S peace…
But we still want our preferences.
We want GOD’S grace… But we don’t want to give up control.
But we don’t always want His boundaries.
We want GOD’S peace…
But we still want our preferences.
We want GOD’S grace… But we don’t want to give up control.
3. GOD GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE
4. STEP DOWN AND DRAW NEAR
HUMBLE YOURSELVES BEFORE GOD
When you step off the throne - God lifts you up.
When you surrender—GOD strengthens you.
When you surrender—GOD strengthens you.
5. STAY OFF THE THRONE
LET GOD BE THE JUDGE
LET GOD BE THE JUDGE
DON'T PICK UP A GAVEL GOD NEVER GAVE YOU
WHO'S REALLY IN CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE?
BAPTISMS
Over 20 times the Bible talks about water baptisms as a public declaration of faith. It’s a symbol of dying to our old self and being raised to new life in Jesus.
If you feel God pulling on your heart to get baptized then do it! Go public with your faith and let us rejoice with you!
We have extra clothes, towels, and anything else you might need to go public with your faith! Don‘t let excuses keep you from obedience.
