In Psalm 2 we are confronted by God’s perfect perspective of this world and the people who live in it. The 4 “voices” of this Psalm speak from the viewpoint of the powers of the world, then from the viewpoint of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The result of considering this is sobering, but should move us to take refuge in Jesus Christ. Guest Speaker: Mickey Aquillino July 7, 2024 ..read more

The lament of the psalmist in Psalm 25 holds true the words “To complain about God is a sin, but to complain to God is a Psalm.” When endless waves of trouble come crashing in, Psalm 25 teaches us to lay it all out before the Lord, going to Him first and asking for His guidance. Then we wait, actively trusting Him with our “eyes ever toward the Lord” (v15). Guest Speaker: JJ Sherwood June 23, 2024 ..read more

What does it take to walk with God through all the ups and downs of life? Psalm 71 takes us through one man’s journey from youth to old age and how he was able to continue learning, growing and praising God, even in his difficulties. Guest Speaker: Phil Hall June 16, 2024 ..read more

The final verses in the book of Romans (Romans 16:25-27) end with a song of praise. In this doxology, Paul reminds readers that the gospel is about Christ alone, and the entirety of Scripture points to him. Through faith in Jesus, God made a way for unrighteous people to become righteous. Although we are disobedient and rebellious, God has reached down into our helplessness and saved us from our sin. The Gospel of Jesus Christ demands a response - there is no room for neutrality. We can turn away, or we can respond by living lives marked by gratitude and praises - lives of doxology.

In this little mini-series, we have been discussing the idea that all Christians are sent on mission by Jesus. In the last sermon, we began to explore what this looks like practically, using John Dickson's book "The Best Kept Secret of Christian Mission" to look at 3 New Testament ways we can promote the Gospel. This week, we'll unpack 3 more chapters of that book, exploring 3 more New Testament ways we can get involved in the mission of God: we can behave beautifully, we can worship corporately, and we can reply "aptly" (as Dickson says).

In the previous sermon, we discussed the idea that all Christians are sent on mission by Jesus, but what does that mean for us practically? In his book, "The Best Kept Secret of Christian Mission", author John Dickson works through 6 New Testament ways that Christians can promote the Gospel. In this sermon, we work through three chapters of Dickson's book and explore three ways we can get involved in the mission of God: we can pray, we can give, and we can do good works.

Author J.D. Greear writes that, "I find that a lot of Christians in churches...are just tired of sitting around. They feel like they are supposed to be doing something in the mission of God but don’t quite know what it is.” Does that describe you? Bored in church? Then Acts 1:8 might be a help, where Jesus calls his disciples to take the Gospel here, there, and everywhere.

When someone uses strong language, we may initially be caught off guard and wonder why they are so earnest. But often times, strong language is an indication of love, the other person wanting to protect us or keep us safe. In Mark 9:42-50, Jesus talks straightforwardly about sin and hell, giving us a warning so that we might not continue on a path that will lead us to destruction. "Tripping" language from RT France.
