Masculine Spirituality (Joshua 1:8-9)
God intends for men to invest ourselves in the lives of others, working for his purposes rather than our own. We are to influence others for good, helping them to understand and pursue Christ-likeness. This begins with our families, but extends to God's church and also to the unbelievers that God has placed in our lives. Our serving others requires selfless sacrifice on our part, but God will provide us the grace and strength to be faithful to our calling as we obey.

Strengthened by God to Strengthen Others
Do you ever wonder why Paul was so effective when he preached with bruises on his body. Many times you read and you follow the places Paul left in order to preach to the next group and then write back to the church he started and left and you scratch your head and say I want a bit of that Spirit of Christ in me...

Samson: Strength Out Of Weakness (Judges 16:18-30)
Samson was a strong “man’s man” who frequently acted like a hot-headed gangster. It is not, however, in Samson’s strength that we see God’s greatest victory, but in Samson’s moment of greatest weakness. In this sermon, we see that finding our mission and calling will mean leaning into our weakness and leading with the “fierce meekness” brought about by the Gospel.

God never tests the dream, only the dreamer
Jesus doesn't promise that if we become his followers he’ll shield us from suffering. In fact, it's just the opposite! When we become serious about spreading the truth of Jesus, we become willing to risk EVERYTHING.

God's One-Flesh Design for Marriage: Paradigm, Parable, Paradise
In contrast to the world's focus on "compatibility" in marriage, the Bible establishes a one-flesh paradigm that reinforces mutuality rather than self-satisfaction. This paradigm is echoed in the New Testament and, when understood and practiced, results in a God-pleasing marriage that returns both husband and wife to a sense of "paradise" as God originally intended them to enjoy.

Can't We All Just Get Along? (Philippians 4:1-3)

Countercultural Submission
The gospel calls for Christians to both lead and follow in countercultural ways. Leaders are to lead out of a sincere desire to serve others without any motivation to serve themselves. As they do so they are to be examples to the flock of what it means to follow Jesus in the city of man. They are not to do this for any earthly reward of any sort. They are to do it because they will one day stand before the Chief Shepherd who will give them an eternal reward. Likewise, God calls Christians to submit to the leaders of the church. Peter specifically mentions young people, since they are most likely to resist submission, but his command is applicable to everyone. Both leaders and followers are to be clothed in humility before God and each other. This is easy to say but impossible to do. Leaders often lead from the wrong motivations because they feel that above all they need to protect themselves and look out for themselves. Those under their care often resist submission because they also feel they need to protect themselves and look out for themselves. But Peter tells us how we can become the people he describes. Instead of looking out for ourselves we are to "cast all our anxiety on him because he cares" for us. When we truly believe that Jesus is our Chief Shepherd we can cast all of our cares on him and obey his commands to lead in humility and submit in humility.

A Peculiar People
Robert Munger has said, "In our time it may well be that the greatest single bottleneck to the renewal and outreach of the church is the division of roles between clergy and laity that results in a hesitancy of the clergy to trust the laity with significant responsibility, and in turn a reluctance on the part of the laity to trust themselves as authentic ministers of Christ, either in the church or outside the church." Key Passage: 1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10

Spirituality and Wisdom
Paul challenges Corinthian Christ-followers to look around the church and observe that those most esteemed by the world are strangely absent in the church. By and large, the church is not composed of wise men, scholars, and debaters of the day. The church is not made up of the cultural elite. In I Cor 1:26-31, Paul urges them to look around the church to see who is present. The church is not made up of the upper crust of society but rather the rejected and despised of society. Of course there are exceptions, but the rule is clear. The world regards God’s wisdom as foolish because it is incapable of comprehending or accepting His truth. God’s wisdom is a mystery which outsiders cannot grasp, and no one would have known apart from divine revelation.

John 12:12-19 A New Kind of Power in Power
While the world awaits a savior from oppressive regimes, Christ came to bring an end to death. Political upheaval may help to assuage human pain, but it doesn’t change hearts or give eternal life. Political change most often ends in its own form of corruption. It is for this reason that Jesus doesn’t pursue political power, even though He challenges the oppressive political figures of His day.

Jehoshaphat: The Power of Leadership
Jehoshaphat's story demonstrates that God works His ways through imperfect lives. A godly king with a heart for God and His Word, Jehoshaphat nevertheless "hedged" his bets by entering into unholy alliances with the idolatrous enemies of God. His life is full of lessons about God and Man.

Standing in the Gap
Over the next 4 weeks we are going to talk about the call to transform our culture through missional living. "Missional" seems to be the latest "buzz-word" in the evangelical world; it describes a life that is lived "on mission". It is a concept that fits well with Jesus teaching that we are to be agents of change in our world. Jesus used metaphors of salt and light and yeast. Paul called us to be ambassadors. How should Kelowna be different because we were here? To begin this series, we begin by looking at the incredible power God has entrusted to His people, and the expression of that power through our prayers. We have been given authority to bind and loose on earth in the name of Jesus. Do we have any idea of the power given to us? Key Passage: Ezekial 22:30

The Lord of Second and Third Chances
Christ already predicts Peter's denial yet loves Him and tells him he will be the main leader beforehand. 1. He already has a restoration plan in place John 21 2. He knows how we will fail Him and has that restoration plan in place – Amen! 3. Repentance in human eyes is often hard to see because we don’t know why a person is hurting or changing. 4. Holy Spirit driven repentance has to do with having asked God to change us, forgive us, help us - overwhelmed by His Grace...
