Only One King
Today we're stepping into 'Part Two' of our study in the Revelation. This week we journey with John into the throne room of heaven itself and are confronted with the key question of the ages: Who will be the Lord of my life? There is only one KING, we understand clearly, but the question remains: will I acknowledge His right to rule and reign in me?! Key Passage: Revelation 4:1-11
A Different Kind Of King
1. Entrance of the King. (Luke 19:28-36) 2. Responses to the King. (Luke 19:37-40) Some were amused. Some were excited. Some were threatened. 3. Heart of the King. (Luke 19:41-44)
Jesus, Worthy to Reign
In this week's message we delve further into Hebrews chapters 4 through 9. This section of the book clearly teaches on the sovreignty and priesthood of Christ. Jesus came to this earth and lived a blameless life; He experienced the world that we live in yet, even to death, he remained pure and wholly dependant upon God. Through Jesus' example we too are challenged to depend on God fully, so that we can reign, as priests, with Him. Are you reigning, today? Key Passage: Hebrews 4:14 - 9:10
Little is Much
This week we start our summer series of messages based on the stories Jesus told about the kingdom of heaven. About a dozen of his stories began with the words "the kingdom of heaven is like." In trying to understand what our world would look like if the values of God's kingdom really took root - these stories are a good starting point. Today, we pick up the concept that the kingdom will not come in a radical, military or political takeover, but rather, through the small but powerful and pervasive infl uence of kingdom agents spread liberally throughout the existing structures of society. The revolutionary influence of the kingdom has been called by some "the quiet revolution" but it's power is incredible! "True evangelical faith cannot lie dormant. It clothes the naked, it feeds the hungry, it comforts the sorrowful, it shelters the destitute, it serves those that harm it, it binds up that which is wounded, it has become all things to all people." (quote from Menno Simons, 1496-1561)
Don't Miss This
In this week's message Pastor Mark Burch examines Hebrews 3 and 4 and speaks about our identity as Christ followers. The writer of Hebrews admonishes us to claim our inheritance and find our rest and strength to do that in Christ. We are not to sit back and let this world pass us by; instead we are to engage our culture and influence our world as co-heirs with Christ. Are you willing to take your inheritance? Key Passage: Hebrews 3:1-4:13
Beyond ABC's
In this series, we've talked about the "glory" for which we were created. We get a glimpse of it in the opening pages of Genesis and in the final Revelation of John. We were created to rule and to reign along side Jesus! But the path to greatness in the kingdom of God is a path of servant hood and perseverance. It's a path that many miss. As we dive into the most controversial text in Hebrews, I believe it is this inheritance of ruling with Christ that we are in danger of missing. Are you ready to reign? Key Passage: Hebrews 5:11 - 6:12
He Reigns!
Revelation 20 is one of the most debated texts in our study - NOT because the imagery is difficult to understand - BUT because of the various perspectives on WHEN these events will take place! What I'm afraid we've missed in all our debating is the central focus of the text! Namely, that Jesus Christ reigns! And that we've got a job to do! This weekend we'll try to make some sense out of the major schools of thought in regard to the timing of the "end" events. But more than anything, my prayer is that Jesus Christ would be lifted up! Key Passage: Revelation 20
Feeding and Tending Jesus' Flock
We are children of God, no longer orphans in this world without Him. We are also His ambassadors in this world as His sent people. Jesus draws us to Himself so that we can have and live by the love of the Father, then Jesus sends us into the world as His missional people. In fact, when you read Jesus’ words in John chapter 20, you begin to see what He had in mind...
God's Temple
What does it mean for humanity to be created in God's image for how we are to relate to the rest of the created order? Ancient practices show us that humanity is to lovingly care for the created order demonstrating God's care and love for his creation. What we discover is that God's temple is not merely the individualistic notions we westerners try to develop but is something much bigger and more profound.
Psalm 2: Good News For Rebels
We are all rebels – each and every one of us.Humanity's rebellion began with the very first human beings Adam and Eve knew God's requirements but raised their fists toward his throne. They placed themselves in the position of God and decided for themselves what was right and wrong. This was rebellion – an act of treason against their maker and king. Ever since, humanity has been in rebellion against God. The Psalmist wants to clearly state this fact: God has appointed a day when he will bring all rebellion on earth to and end!
