Functional Christianity
Functional Christianity There is a significant difference between "confessional" Christianity and "functional" Christianity. True Christianity is not measured simply by what you confess, or believe, but by how you live. If Jesus is the reigning Lord of heaven and earth, then discipleship is measured by how you live in relation to the rule of Jesus.

Philippians 2:9-11 - From Humility to Super Exaltation
The best way to see the exaltation of Christ is to view it on the backdrop of his humiliation in heaven, in incarnation, and in death. Humiliation does not mean embarrassment, slavish service, wimpiness, lack of boldness or ambition or the prideful pursuit of spirituality. We see that in this text that God exaltation of Christ is past (v. 9) and future (vv. 10-11). In the past God super exalted Christ at the right hand of the Father to the glory he had before the world was created. The Lamb of God is worthy and is given a name that everyone above every name with is LORD or Yahweh. Because of God past super exaltation of Christ and because he has been given the name Yahweh or LORD all people should (not shall) bow the knee and confess Christ in salvation. This verse is usually quoted incorrectly in a universalistic fashion making it say that everyone will worship God, but we know that Romans 14:10-12 includes everyone will bow in judgment but not in salvation. You should consider how you will approach Christ either in salvation with knees bowed and tong confessing or in Judgment with knees bowed.

Hold On and Consider
Jesus has opened the veil into the holy places thru His death on our behalf. He also cleansed our hearts and bodies so we are welcome in God's presence. He is the fulfillment of God's promises, giving us hope. In light of this we are able to consider how to encourage one another as the New Covenant community

Who Is This King of Glory?
Who Do you believe Jesus is? We know what many people around us think. Many say Jesus was a good teacher, even a prophet, but have a hard time crowning him lord. The same question that Jesus asked the disciples I believe he is asking us today. Who do you believe Jesus is?

The Death of Uzzah
In Israel there was no greater vessel than the Ark of the Covenant. In 2 Samuel 6 a man name Uzzah reaches out his hand to catch the falling Ark, and is killed on the spot. In this message we will look at God's Fury against so called little sins, and the importance of regular individual confession of sin.

2 Samuel 24 - Senseless Census
As we come to the final chapter in 2 Samuel we find some of our old nemeses of human strength and human success making us trust in ourselves. The author arranged these chapters so that right after the account of David's mighty men - Israel's strength, we find that David sinfully (even thought God incited him) counting Israel and Judah so that he might trust in the strength of his numbers. We must all remember that according to Hebrew thinking that whatever God permits is part of His plan. By allowing this census, God is viewed as having brought about the act. Let us, like David, not harden our hearts against the Spirit's convicting work. When we seek God's forgiveness from sin, we must not always expect the elimination of the consequences of that sin, nor should we think that forgiveness is without an atonement. David learns that even thought God's wrath is staid, it is not yet satisfied because David must build an alter a make sacrifice to the LORD for his people. It is only then that the famine ceases. You will find that it is only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross that the mercy of God is available so that his wrath against you is staid and satisfied. Don't be a stranger to the covenants and promises of God by trusting your own strength ... Flee to Christ and trust Him today.

Deceiving Oneself And Calling God A Liar -- 1 John 1:8-10
Most of us like to think we are pretty good people. We generally don't like to admit when we do wrong things, and certainly don't like to admit to having a natural tendency to do so. The problem is for a Christian to do this, is not simply trying to look a little better, it is to lie about yourself and to lie about God. This sermon looks at this in more detail, and looks at how the life of one who trusts in Jesus will be one where sin is confessed and dealt with in Jesus.

Speak to the mountain
Summary: Our words are what we use to attack the enemy. When we say what God says to our enemies, it’s like shooting bullets at them. When we talk the problem, it’s like throwing cookies at them. Our words are the bullet, our mouth is the gun, but love is the firing pin. We have got to get God’s word in our mouth and fire at the enemy that’s standing in our way. We have to speak to the mountain. Don’t ask God to do anything about it, stop crying about it. Stop talking about how big it is, stop telling everyone you meet that will listen to you how big it is, and speak to it. Command it to go!

Genesis, A new beginning for a new year
God had a plan for the world before He founded it. He spoke the worlds into existence, then created Adam and Eve. God has a plan for us for the coming year. Whenever God gives us a plan, it will be a big plan, you're going to have to speak out what you desire, what that plan is, then you're going to have to get to work, doing what you know to do. Finally, having done all, to stand. REST.

A Continual Unfolding
There are some high mountain peaks in every narrative, crucial plot turns which move the story to its climax. As the story of Jesus unfolds in Mark we see some very important events go down. First, Peter confesses Jesus to be the Christ a confession upon which the church will be built. Second, Jesus begins to foretell what was prophesied about him long ago, that the Son of Man must suffer, be murdered and rise from death. This was an unexpected turn of events for the disciples that he repeats with them driving home the central focus of his mission. Third, God reveals Jesus is his glory on the top of a mountain. His radiant beauty and manifest glory was displayed for the disciples just before they turn towards leading the mission towards a cross in Jerusalem. The cost of following Jesus, a Jesus who would be rejected by people and die an ignoble death, was being made clear.

Water Baptism
Baptism by immersion in water is an important doctrine and practice for God's church. Water baptism is significant because it is a commandment of Jesus; it serves as a picture of our salvation; and because it is a sign of the new covenant that God established through Jesus. Baptism is appropriate for all who have come to faith in Christ and are able to confess that faith, whether they are converted adults or children who have conscious faith in Christ. Baptism is a sign of new birth and not of maturity, so it is right for new believers to seek baptism promptly. The timing of baptism will naturally be uncertain for children, but parents are encouraged to faithfully work to ensure their children understand the gospel. Baptism is appropriate as soon as children are able to articulate the gospel and their personal faith in Jesus.

Holding Firmly to the End 3
I want you to see the final two of four ways we can inoculate ourselves from the danger of unbelief. This morning we will see that: 3. The third way we can inoculate ourselves from the danger of unbelief is by encouraging others and being encouraged by others. (13) 4. The forth way we can inoculate ourselves from he danger of unbelief is by perseverance in the face of difficulty. (14)

The Joy of Confession
Confession of sin is a gift. Why don't we always see it that way? When we don't see it that, far too often we miss out on the blessing that confession is and that confession brings. In Psalm 32, we are given a glimpse into the life of David as he wrestles with his sin and confession. His journey, so many years ago, offers us insight into the nature of confession, the challenge of confession, and the joy of confession.

The Church (Part 1)
Adam preaches Matt. 16:13-20, the very first mention of the Church in the New Testament and from Jesus. The person of Christ rightly grasped, as Peter did and evidenced in his magnificent confession, stands as the unshakeable support of the church.

Who Do You Say I Am? (Mark 8:27 - 9:1)
Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ -- and Jesus's response -- tell us so much about Jesus and his role. We see that He is the Son of Man and the Lord of all, but also the suffering servant. We see the miracle of the incarnation -- God become flesh. We see his work as our redeemer, humbling himself in suffering, sacrifice and death so that he might bring about our life and glorification. The only appropriate response, then, is for us to worship and obey him -- not so that we might earn his favor, for he has done perfectly for us what we could never accomplish. Rather, we submit ourselves to him in faith, joy and gratitude for who he is and what he has done for us. We are thus called to follow him by denying ourselves and dying to sin.

Love-Based Boldness
Those who follow Jesus will often find themselves going against the flow of this broken world. How shall we act when opposition, or humiliation, or even persecution stands in our path? Jesus says "Be bold, and identify fully with Me remembering that I love you, and will never, ever abandon you, not now, and certainly not in the world to come!"

HYPOCRITE
Hypocrisy is not new. Jesus confronted hypocrisy but majored on the majors. What does it look like to follow His lead? How do we confront the hypocrite? CAREFRONTING must be done with caution, restoration as the goal, & commitment to the other person. Seeing our own hypocrisy begins with honesty and moves to confession with God.

Managing Emotions
Our emotions are a gift from God. Expressed in a proper manner, emotions make life beautiful, rich, full, eliminate monotony and contribute much to both the enjoyment and effectiveness of living. Negative emotions can also be responsible for some of the greatest tragedies in life. Whether our lives are meaningful or miserable may be directly related to the health of our emotions.
