Sermons About Generosity
Our Partnership in the Gospel (Philippians 4:10-20)
The Philippians serve as a model for us of a joyful partnership in the gospel. A significant aspect of this partnership was their giving to support Paul's ministry and to provide for the needs of the church in Jerusalem. This partnership met practical needs, helped to cultivate a unity in the gospel, and required sacrifice on their part.

The Doctrine of Adoption (Galatians 4:1-7)
Adoption gives us the deepest insight into what it means to be a Christian, and into the greatness of God's love for us. We cannot understand our salvation any better than we understand adoption. While justification is the most important and foundational aspect of Christianity, adoption is the greatest and highest experience of the Christian life. In our adoption, we experience God's closeness, affection and generosity. We are challenged to grow in our awareness of God's real love for us as an adoptive Father.

Generosity (Vision Update and Sermon)
We admit it. We have an agenda: we want you to join the church. All believers in Jesus in every time and place are members of the universal church, but committing to a local church is a vital part of the spiritual life for every Christ-follower. In our teaching series, CHURCH 101, we are taking several weeks to describe the foundational commitments of church membership. Our members are those who have accepted the mission of helping others become passionate followers of Jesus through the ministry and community of this church. Over the next few weeks, we will discuss what that means as we explore practically how we can live for Jesus as a part of His church.
