service
One of the great privileges of the Christian life is serving our King. Often this service is categorized in three ways…delight, duty, or disregard. Where would you place yourself in light of these three descriptors? Today, we want to look through a lens that may help re-focus your service into one of delight.
2 Timothy 1:7-12
Growth threatened the health of the early church. Overworked leaders were in danger of sacrificing what was most important for what felt most urgent. As they empowered others to join in the ministry, the priorities were preserved, and the needs were addressed. This message looks at how God invites people to join in the mission where they’re needed most.
Acts 6:1-7
Every parent wants the best for their child. But when we push the wrong values on our children, we do them more harm than good. This message looks at Jesus’ vision for our lives.
Matthew 20:20-28
We live at a time when Christianity is facing increasing criticism and dissenting from our culture’s values brings consequences. Stephen’s martyrdom provides principles that dispel the myths that we have about how to cope when opposition looms.
Do you know God as He has revealed himself in His Word? We can only do what God requires if we understand who He is. The message on Micah is one of judgment but also of hope for those who put their trust in the God of the biblical revelation who is like no other.
We all long for fullness in life and we seek it in different places. But Jesus claims to be the One who can truly fill us. This message looks at God’s plan to fill the hole in our lives and what we can do experience His filling.
Worship is the first and primary area where God expects to see our response to His love. And yet we often bring Him worship leftovers. We give our devotion to the world and assume that God will be happy with a better-than-nothing offering of our lives. This message examines the anatomy of worship leftovers and God’s antidote to it.
Sometimes, the Bible feels too abstract. We read what it says but still don’t know what it looks like. This message shows us what God can do to change a person’s life by looking at the changed lives of two first century disciples. They help us see that God isn’t just about platitudes but power to change.
