Sermons About Mission
Making Known His Love
Scripture is full of commands to love one another; in fact, all of the law can be summed up in the word love. We are to love one another, and even to love our enemies. God intends for our love not to be merely abstract or sentimental, but real. Three of the images that God uses to describe the church capture aspects of how we are to love one another. The church is God's family, meaning that we have a unity in the gospel that overcomes all of our differences. The church is the body of Christ, meaning that we all have different functions, some of which may be more prominent than others, but all of us are needed, and we all need one another. The church is the temple of God, meaning that we exist for a far greater purpose than ourselves. We must take care of one another; this is commanded, and it provides a witness to the world, but most importantly, we do this because we love one another and we belong to one another.

The work of Interserve and Urban Vision in the UK and abroad - part 2
The population of Britain is becoming less "Christian" and more multi-religious. For some people this provokes fear about the loss of a Britain we once knew, for others the fear is about the rise of radicalised minorities. Interserve has a very different view. Having served the peoples of Asia and the Arab world since 1952, they see Britain as a site for cross-cultural Christian witness. Today, the sovereignLord of history is at work creating significant cross-cultural mission opportunities across Europe.

Isaiah: Restoring the World (Isaiah 6:1-8)
Is the gospel about personal forgiveness of personal sin, or is it about the corporate restoration of the entire cosmos? Christians have lined up on both sides, ready to argue their case, but have failed to see what’s really at stake in this discussion. In this sermon, we will see that our longing for transcendence and our desire for restoration are ultimately met in the same way.

Acts
Jesus calls us to be witnesses of what we have experienced of God to the ends of the earth. But this call wasn't fulfilled in Acts 2:42-47, nor was it a full expression of what the church was meant to be. They didn't start to realize their full missional potential until Acts 8:1 when persecution made them scatter to the very places Jesus called them to go in the first place.

Philosophy
The Ridge Church lives to glorify God – loving Jesus, loving people and seeing lives transformed to live for Jesus. We have been called to live this out globally and locally (the mission) and we have essential beliefs as we move down the highway of life, that we hold dear to, so we do not get off focus and fall away. To help us stay focused and on mission we must have a system of values and principles by which we live and function by as a church, a philosophy - in ministry it is important to have the right mindset and attitude toward how things should be done.
