Safe for Sinners, Not Safe for Sin - Pastor Chris McGarvey

Luke 5:27-32
The church of Jesus is to be a hospital. Sinners saved by grace helping sinners find mercy, love and grace. Jesus was a friend of sinners. We should not only preach the Gospel of Jesus, but practice it as He did. We look at the issue of abortion. We may stand against it, but does the world see the church as a place to find love and hope. We must be pro-life for the born, as well as the unborn.

Romans 2:4
As we interact with our culture, Christians should seek to represent God's kindness and grace. As people struggle with issues in life, some raise the question of gender identity, with hopes of "fixing" what is broken. Scripture makes it clear that God created us as male or female. It's sanctification that enables us to become all that God created us to be, not the world's attempts to relieve our struggles. Even so, we need to have empathy towards others. Listen to their stories, and be available to give them hope in their struggles with identity.

Matthew 10:11
As we continue to examine how Christ's church can minister in today's culture, we get insight on ministry within our city. We must take time with the people, strategize in the context of how they live, and then be patient. Take time to plant, water, and nurture the seeds of the Gospel.

John 10:7-10
We begin a series, "Christ, the Kingdom, and Culture". It will seek to equip us with Biblical resources to navigate our faith in modern times. This week, we see that Jesus gave us a theology of life that breaks into this world of sin. It involves navigating life with grace and truth, so we can handle our culture responsibly.

Matthew 28:18-20
As we conclude the 3 part series on being followers of Jesus, we look at His last words to His disciples. We should not just rest in the knowledge of the Good News, but share it with others, have them baptized as evidence of their resurrected life, and teach them how to be His disciples.

John 15:5
We look back to the beginning when Jesus first began calling people to follow Him. We see that the early followers spent time being with Jesus, then doing the same things that he did. They lived like Jesus. As followers of Jesus, does being "with Jesus" and "like Jesus" characterize our lives today?

2 Timothy 4:1-5
Healthy Bible Teaching: 1) leads us to a God-centered life, and not a me-centered life, 2) promotes the love of God and the love of neighbor, 3) leads us to a Spirit-filled, Spirit-led life that conforms our will to that of God, 4) produces and cultivates in us the Fruit of the Spirit.

Where is Your Awe? - Pastor Daniel Nelms

1 Samuel 17:32-37
As we continue the series, "Shaped by Jesus", we consider those things that leave us in awe. Being enraptured by God is a way to remove the tyranny of the ego. David's awe of God gave him courage to go against Goliath, who's awe was in himself. As we become more in awe of God, our faith increases. Behold His Wonders.

Stories That Shape Us - Pastor Daniel Nelms

Ephesians 2:1-10
As we begin a short series, "Shaped By Jesus", we consider the stories that shape us. As we seek for transformation in our journey, we find ourselves helpless without supernatural help. God reached out to us to bring fulfillment. Our story must be blended with that of Jesus. Paul describes the Christian's journey and its benefits. What story is shaping you?
