A Disciple's Influence
We say that "missional discipleship" is: Intentionally deepening my relationship with Christ for the purpose of righteous influence in my world. Today we look at one facet of that influence: preparing the way for Christ and His Kingdom.

Habits of Freedom
God has done wonderful things to and through our congregation in 2006, and we celebrate His grace and goodness. At the same time, we delight in the challenges and opportunities ahead in 2007, knowing that as we "fill up" with godliness, He may be pleased to use us to "spill over" with His love in our world.

The Comfort of Christmas, Part 3 -- Grace Upon Grace
On this 4th Sunday of Advent, we look at the remembrances of the last living apostle – John – concerning the birth of Jesus Christ. His interpretation of God's incarnational invasion reminds us that the most comforting thing about Christmas is the knowledge that we have received grace upon grace!

The Comfort of Christmas, Part 2 -- The Comfort of Obedience
On this third Sunday of Advent, we look at the surprising way in which the lives of Joseph and Mary foreshadowed the way in which their Son - Jesus - would fulfill His divine mission. Both the parents and the Son, when faced with monumental tests and trials, responded righteously in obedience. Through the obedience of the parents, the Savior was born. Through the obedience of the Savior, the world will be saved.

God's King: The Hope of All Creation
Since the first sin in Eden, mankind and all creation has labored in bondage to sin's corruption. Yet, there has always been hope, based on the promise of God to break sin's hold, that all creation would one day be reformed and restored to the place where it could once again, declare fully the glory of God. At Christmas, we celebrate the greatest component in that process. Today we look at Messiah through an Old Testament lens.

Kingdomized Living, Part 3: What it means to follow Christ
In this last section of Luke 9 we encounter three warnings regarding following Christ. Together, they gave the disciples a clearer picture of what Jesus meant by "denying self, taking up the cross, and following him."

Kingdomized Living, Part 2: Loving People, Loving Christ
In this last section of Luke 9 we encounter 3 instructions about loving people, and 3 warnings regarding following Christ. Together, they gave the 12 a clearer picture of what Jesus meant by "denying self, taking up the cross, and following him." Things haven't changed since that day. With the disciples, we are encouraged to take this short course on "kingdomized living."

Kingdomized Living, Part 1: Loving People
It is clear that, for the disciples, "listening to Jesus" will mean re-evaluating the basic elements of their worldview. What does it mean to follow Jesus, and live "kingdom" lives? How will representatives of the kingdom of God be recognized in this world? The answer begins with understanding that the way Jesus calls us to love people is radically different from our natural inclinations.

Messiah's Mission: Suffering, then Glory
Using two stories, Luke shows his readers just how easy it is to replace Jesus' agenda with our own, and attempt to evade suffering on the road to glory. But, kingdom power only flows when kingdom priorities are maintained. Following Jesus will mean suffering through life in a broken world, always held fast by the promise of heaven's glory.
