Sermons About World
A City On A Hill (Matthew 4:23-5:1; Matthew 5:17-20)
The Sermon on the Mount, considered by many to be the greatest sermon ever, has been often read, studied, quoted, but also misinterpreted and misunderstood. In the intro to the series, we will see that wrapped up in flowery statements like, "Blessed are the meek" is a surprising message; a message considered by many to be dangerous and even seditious.

Do Good: World
Like Jonah, sometimes God calls us to go to places we don't want to go to do impossible tasks that we already know God will take care of in the end. Though God's mercy endures forever and God holds all things in accordance to his will, still God calls us to go.

A Worshipping Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.

Perfect Timing
When Esther's people were in trouble, she was told maybe she had been placed in her position for "such a time as this." In our trouble-filled world, we have been placed at this time at this place for a specific purpose. But are you still waiting on the world to change or will you decide to be a world changer for such a time as this?

Reaching the Least Reached
It is so easy to be content with the pleasures and treasures we enjoy here in North American culture. The team that went to Mongolia serves as a reminder to each one of us to reach out missionally to those right here in Kelowna, in our country, and around the world. Are you willing to pray, give and go to spread the message of Jesus?

Sanitized for Your Protection?
Many people unfamiliar with the Bible expect it to contain only stories of goodness and victory. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Bible is full of difficult situations and extreme trials. God has never hidden the fact that in this world we will face trials. The only question is, how should we respond to them? Key Verses: 2Kings 18:9-12, Luke 13:1-5, John 16:33, Hab 3:17-19, 2 Cor 12:7-10, 2 Peter 3:10-14, Rev 21

Change the World... one life at a time
God has always had a voice! Even in the darkest days of human history, there has been a “faithful remnant” of His people who continued to hope, continued to trust, continued to pray and continued to walk in the steps of the Master. There may be days that we are tempted to give up the fight, to pack in our efforts to see the world become a better place…but today is not that day! As we head into a new calendar year, God is calling us, perhaps like never before to champion and leverage all the resources He has placed in our hands, to be used for the transformation of our world! Are you up for the challenge? Key Passage: Luke 3:4-6

The Marks of Spiritual Maturity
Part 8 "The Mark Of Spiritual Maturity" Romans 1:14-16 Mark #1 I am concerned about the people of the world. My concern: * Must be ever-present. * Can't be for the elite alone. * Isn't based on education. * Must be for all ethnic groups. Mark #2 I am committed to proclaim the gospel to the world. My commitment involves: * Knowing the part I play. * Knowing the place I am to serve. * Knowing the message I am to preach. Mark #3 I am confident in what the gospel has promised. The gospel promises to: * Be powerful. * Accomplish God's purposes. * To be given plentifully. * According to God's plan.

Do the Math
Math is one of the most useful ideas ever conceived by man. At its core, it is logic that cannot be denied. An undeniable math runs even through the spiritual realm: we will all die and the world as we know it will pass away. Then, we will either cease to exist or we will stand before God. Which is it and how should we live? You do the math. Key Verses: Isa 51:6, 2Pet 3:10ff, 2Cor 5:10, Heb 9:27, Joh 20:19-25, 2Kings 7

Have I Blown It?
God could have created us preprogrammed to do his will only. However, this is not what he did. Instead he created us free—free to love, free to hate, free to rebel. This has made the world a very complex place filled with bad choices. However, God is not surprised by our bad choices. Instead, he is lovingly waiting for us to turn to him for help. Key Verses: Luke 15:11, Ro 11:32, Eph 1:18, 1John 3:2-3

God's Breaking News for a Broken World
Part 3 Gods Breaking News To a Broken World Romans 1:1 This Breaking News: 1. Comes to a world seduced by sin. This seduction is seen in: * The longing of humanity * The lust we long to gratify * The lost condition we face 2. Connects us to the only source of salvation. This news of salvation involves: * A positive declaration * Plenty of descriptions * Powerful dimensions 3. Converts the sinner through a proper response to the Savior. There are 4 responses we can have to the good news: * Antagonistic * Apathetic * Attracted * Attached

On the Shoulders of Giants
As we look back in history, we should be challenged AND encouraged by the godly example of so many who have gone before us! As we seek to build the kingdom of God in our day – we do so – "on the shoulders of giants!" Hebrews 11 tells us that the "world was not worthy of them!" Will history say the same of us? During these next few weeks, we are going to be looking together at the mission we believe God has called us to live out in our city and region. As we talk of the impact He would have us to have on the world around us, I pray that you will be personally challenged to step into His call on your life. There are two basics that anchor everything we do: Loving People... And Following Jesus! Key Passage: Hebrews 11:13 & 38

John 15:18-16:33 Ministering from the Margins of Persecution
No matter how you choose to live, and how you choose to love, you will be hated in some degree. The fact of the matter all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted by those in opposition to Jesus. Jesus is both passionate and explicit in this passage in reminding us of the reality of living in Him to truly forsake the world (System of thought) and love God is an act of God in our lives by His Spirit.

Alternate Outlook
When facing Goliath, David's unique perspective allows him to focus on the bigness of God instead of the stature of the giant before him. Compared to God's might, Goliath is puny and weak. So when we question how we could possibly do anything to remedy the problems of the world, we need only to realize that our God is plenty big and plenty strong to defeat the giants we confront.

Can The Church Change The World?
Often times the church is too busy arguing about seemingly insignificant details to do any good to the poor, the disenfranchised, and the spiritual seekers around them.
