TGP West

Our enjoyment of life is not found in what we can do, but in what God does. In trying to figure out what is going on in our lives, or what to do, we need to ask God to give us His perspective.

There is an appropriate and suitable time for everything. God is sovereign all of it and wants to use it for your benefit.

Glen speaks about preparing our lives for Jesus.

Vision; Ministry / 1 John 5 John finishes his letter by encouraging them to obey God's commandments. As we look toward our new year and the ministry that God has given us, too, are invited to follow Jesus's instructions. It is through our love for God and one another that we will be used to reveal Jesus to our family and friends.     

Living In Truth: A Study of 1 John / Love; Relationships; Culture; Truth / 1 John 4   Our culture is filled with people who think they know God.  Jesus tells us in Mathew seven that there will be many who will be turned away from the Kingdom of Heaven because He does not know them.  John reveals how we are to know the difference between false prophets and true disciples.

Glen spoke today about what God is doing in Romania.

Living In Truth: A Study of 1 John / Love; Child of God / 1 John 3 We are children of God and are called to live accordingly.  In order to do so, we must see ourselves as God sees us.  We are his heirs in the Kingdom.  Our commission is to love God and to love one another, but not as the world loves.  We are to love as Jesus loved, by giving up our lives for one another.

Living In Truth: A Study Of 1 John/Love; Jesus is asked about the greatest commandment; Faith; Obedience / 1 John 2 John lays out for the church what it means to Live in the Light.  We are in the light by obeying His commandments, loving one another, and being faithful in our relationships with God.

Living in Truth: A Study of 1 John/ Experience; Light; Life/ 1 John 1:1-4; 1 John 1:5-10   We know God by experience which comes through obeying His commands.  John's Letter helps the leaders of the church know that Jesus is the Messiah by his testimony.  Our testimony of Jesus's activity in our lives helps others to know Him.

A fresh perspective on the things God has taught us about what it means to abide, BLESS, and Commit to Community.

God's people missed the signs of the coming Messiah.  If we are not careful to pay attention to God's activity, we too will miss what God has for us.

We see in the Christmas story that God chooses to use people that were not important by the world's standards. He chooses us based on our faith in Him, not our abilities or resources. Our devotion to walk with Him brings joy to a world that needs it.

God reveals Himself and His plans through His people.  As we celebrate Christmas we have the opportunity to point people towards the fulfillment of the promised Messiah.

Our understanding of what it means to be free has been defined by our American culture.  In the beatitudes, Jesus describes the qualities that are exhibited in the lives of those that belong to the kingdom.  Biblical freedom is being set free from death and sin into a life of blessedness that comes through our relationship with Christ.
