December 18, 2022 As the people of God, we are called to edify each other – build each other up through loving encouragement. This is a revolutionary act against our human selfishness, which doesn’t make room for the other, but it is the continual miracle of the family of Christ – we are lifted up by lifting each other up. Scripture we dive into today: Ephesians 4:29 ,   1 Thessalonians 5:2-1...

December 11, 2022 God loves us where we’re at, but He’s not satisfied to leave us that way. God desires that we would be transformed through the work of the Holy Spirit as we put God’s word into practice. God’s Word directs and deepens my faith as I try to live out the one another statements of Scripture. Therefore, it’s critical for the believer to develop a healthy spiritual life because it dire...

December 4, 2022 One part of loving one another is how we treat those around us – treating people the way we want to be treated. It’s making the choice to be loving, even if we don’t feel like it. Another part of loving people is being willing to invite them into our world – being willing to open up the doors and let someone in. I can respond to someone in love, but it is entirely different for me...

The bible gives us guidelines for how we should treat each other, these are the family rules for believers. The “ one another” statements communicate the characteristics that we should be striving for in our relationship with each other. The way we treat people is important because it’s a reflection of our relationship with God. When it comes to unity, it’s easy for us to rally around a cause, but...

November 20, 2022 During many road trips there is a point where you can no longer turn back. Something has changed and the best way is to keep going forward. In Acts 9, Jesus brings Saul to a point of no return causing him and us to surrender to Jesus. Scripture we dive into today: Philippians 3:5-6 , John 21:21 , Luke 9:57-62

Road Trip| Road Home [Prodigal Son] There is something about being able to come home that brings about feelings of comfort and security. Even when you’ve been away on a long trip for work or vacation, there is that desire to be home. There is something about home that brings about these feelings of comfort, security, and safety in our heart. In our text for today, Jesus uses that deep seated desir...

You put a bunch of people into a vehicle for an extended period of time and suddenly you discover the many ways you’re not like Jesus. Have you ever noticed that phenomenon? On a road trip, I discover my lack of patience, my lack of love, I discover the ways that I can be selfish, and petty. I’m reminded, that I’m a work in progress.  As we look to the Bible, we see how God uses road trips, w...

Progressive or Progressing in our Faith| Parenting October 30, 2022 We’re called to create an intentional godly culture in our homes through our presence, practice and protection. We’ve talked a lot about holding to biblical truths despite cultural shift. This kind of strength starts at home. Glad you could join us! Check our website for to learn about upcoming events, TheMissionChurch.us

Progressive or Progressing in our Faith| Sanctity of Life October 23, 2022 The abortion debate is so destructive because of this topic’s ability to divide and destroy relationships. Critical to understanding Scripture is a yielded spirit, one that is open to God’s direction on any given matter. Some matters are cut and dry and some are gray. This is not a cut and dry matter because the variables o...

Marriage is God’s idea and God’s gift to humankind for those that choose to enter into this covenant relationship. Culture has worked to undermine marriage and devalue marriage. Marriage is seen as something that is disposable because culture is consistently pushing us toward the celebration of self. Recorded on October 16, 2022 @ The Mission Church. Appleton, Wi.

Culture says sexuality is an expression of how a person feels about others with no regard for the boundaries set within Scripture. Culture has been at work to normalize the areas of our sexuality that God has warned us about. God has given us these warnings because He understands better than we do, the hurt and heartache that comes if we decide to ignore the boundaries He has set. Recorded on Octo...

Progressive or Progressing in our Faith| Gender Culture is redefining gender which is complicating how we relate to one another, creating discord, and eroding our ability to be civil with one another. The result of this culture shift is confusion and disunity. At the root of this discord is the brokenness stemming from our pride as we attempt to redefine who we are. Recorded on October 2, 2022 @ T...

Welcome to My Life| Longing to Change God gave each of us an inborn longing to change – to transform spiritually so that we can be like Jesus. Ironically, the way to this victorious life is by taking up our cross, realizing our own weaknesses and washing feet with Jesus. Recorded on Sept 25, 2022 @ The Mission Church. Appleton, Wi.

Welcome to My Life| Longing to Matter Sept 18, 2022 I believe there is a holy longing inside us to please God with our life. In light of God’s love and grace there is a desire to respond with something of value. Our faith derails as our heart moves from pleasing to earning. Instead of responding to God’s grace we try to earn the salvation that we’ve been freely given. It’s critical for us to under...

It doesn’t matter how confident you are or how many accomplishments you have – all of us have a hardwired desire to be part of a community. This is not an introvert extrovert deal; this is a built in need to be part of a group – to know that we have people we can go to and be ourselves around. When a person says yes to a relationship with Jesus, they become family. This is what we all truly desire...

The Final Chapter... 2 Timothy 4 | Requests: Proclaim the Gospel In the last recorded words of Paul, he gives the final charge to Timothy: proclaim the Word boldly and with love, fulfill your calling. Paul hands over the ministry network to Timothy with some final words of encouragement and farewell. Recorded on Sept 4th, 2022 @ The Mission Church in Appleton, Wi.

It’s natural for us to protect the things we value, the things that are important, and the things we love. We want to ensure that no harm comes to the things that truly matter in our life. When it comes to the gospel, scripture says we should demonstrate the same kind of protective nature in preserving the gospel. This morning we turned to 2 Timothy 3, unpacking Paul's warning to stay true to God'...

2 Timothy 2 – Requirements: Perseverance the Gospel Join us as we continue through our Endless Summer series and 2 Timothy 2. The greatest value for a tool is when it is being used properly. A ratchet is best used as a ratchet. It is the same with the Gospel. The Gospel requires proper handling to persevere in the life of a Christian and the life of others. Recorded at The Mission Church. August 2...

2 Timothy 1| Reminder: Power of the Gospel August 14, 2022 What areas of your life do you find that you need reminders for from time to time? Do you need a reminder to eat healthy, to take a break, to have your quiet time, to make time for family? A well-timed reminder provides the subtle course correction we need to keep us on track or get us back on track. A good reminder can reestablish our val...

Are you Wealthy… Spiritually? Let's unpack what Paul seems to speak on as we read 1 Timothy 6. The problem with the early church, and the problem with us today, is that we look to things other than God for contentment. We look to earthly relationships, our finances, our possessions, and the things we can do to be a source of contentment. However, when these things fail us or let us down, then we w...

What is your current view of relationship within Christian community? Do you see church as a group of likeminded people to learn about Jesus with? Is church an organization and we’re all trying our best to represent the company as we go about our business? Or perhaps the church is a gathering of Jesus people, some you learn the name of, but otherwise you’d have trouble recognizing them at the mall...

All of us prone to have our faith polluted by outside influences as we mistakenly blend our faith with other belief systems. People try to mix the feel-good vibes of other faith systems like Hinduism, Buddhism, and various pagan practices in order to make a faith that fits them better. The flaw in this kind of logic is that we distort our image of God. Paul encourages Timothy and us to exercise wi...

Our Endless Summer series continues this week as we dive into 1 Timothy 3 and we will work through what it means to conduct ourselves in the household of God as well as Paul’s qualifications for church leadership. Recorded on July 17th, 2022 The Mission Church in Appleton, Wi.

Paul gets into the nuts and bolts of what it means to be a Jesus community in the world. He discusses how we are citizens of heaven who live on earth and how we should relate to earthly society and government. He finally talks about what it means to live as men and women transformed by the gospel.
