We are in-between series, so we will be covering another Kingdom Value which are values that we as a church and believers can hold onto and live by. That said, the value we will be covering is something that affects all of us – Change. The thing about change is that it can happen in an instant, the key, however, is how
The fact is, whether we want to admit it or not, money is a key issue when it comes to growing in God. We know this because Jesus spoke more about money than He did about marriage, heaven or hell. In fact, over 60% of what Jesus taught was about our attitude towards finances and stewardship. He taught us
The Westminster Shorter Catechism asks a critical question of all of us today i.e., “What is the chief end of man?”. The answer – “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.” You see, in contrast to the monastic division of life into sacred versus secular (perpetuated by the Roman Church), the reformers saw that
For centuries people have been trying to “reach” God through religious systems, works, priests, or charismatic leaders. The fact, however, is, there is no person, government, or system that can (nor should) ever take the place of the Savior of the World.
This Sunday we looked at Sola Fide, Faith Alone. We looked at three areas of faith: The Christian life is a life of faith, secondly, while faith is important, works are a part of God’s plan, and finally, our faith can and should increase.
On Oct 31st, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his history-making 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg cathedral cementing a stake in the ground for the authority of God’s word and the power of the gospel of grace! In 1772, a former slave trader named John Newton penned the words of the most famous
Luther’s (and scripture’s) claim is that every person should read the Bible for themselves and that only the Scripture itself is inspired. And while issues of authority, inerrancy, clarity, and sufficiency of Scripture were under the microscope in Luther’s day, the sad truth is, these issues are being challenged today too. In fact, when we consider the “authority
We have started a “Series Within A Series” as we prepare to celebrate Reformation Month. We started off this series by looking back at what the Reformation was & why it was needed in the first place and then compare that reality with the state that the church currently finds itself in today. All of which, will prepare us to ask ourselves the question, “Is it perhaps time,
Often, when we look at the crazy times that we are currently living in, we have the tendency to think that our issues of today are so rare & unique (to us) that no one else in history would be able to understand what we are going through. However, when we unpack scripture, we come to realize that perhaps
Last Sunday we looked at the value of Community or put another way, the “local” view of The Church. This week we expanded our view of “Community” by unpacking the value of the “The Church” (the global one). In particular…What is the doctrine of “The Church”? Why do we need “The Church”? What is the role of
We returned to a series that we have touched on before (and will continue to return to as we grow and mature as a church) – Kingdom Values. These are values that are critical to us in order to maintain a Kingdom Heart in the midst of a crooked generation. The Kingdom Value of “Community” is the first value we started with and
Prayer is a very important Kingdom Value. We go through the Lord’s Prayer this Sunday and learn that it’s the posture of our heart that matters the most when it comes to prayer.
Are we expectant for God to move in our midst? Are we willing to challenge the status quo of lukewarm Christianity? Are we expectant for the Glory of God? This Sunday we look at five of how we can encounter God’s Glory. Please show me your Glory. Moses – Exodus 33:18
“God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him.” John Piper Living Sacrificially means demonstrating sacrifice, doing it in all things, and sometimes it hurts. Marco takes us through Romans 12:1-2 and encourages us on how living sacrificially towards God is an act of worship and being rich towards God.
“God did not create giving for his sake, he created the principle of giving or our sakes. Giving more than anything else works selfishness and greed out of our hearts.” Robert Morris Marco shares with us how Giving is a Kingdom Value, and how it sets us free.
This week we focus on how we can live a supernatural life, a life that is best described as living with what only the Holy Spirit can create in us i.e. The Fruit of the Spirit.
As sad as it is, one of the major areas of division in protestant churches today is in regard to the doctrine of the Holy Spirit (who is ultimately God). This three-part installment helps us understand our responsibility as a church and Christians to better understand and build a relationship with Him.
