Living on mission for Christ means we love people as Jesus loved people. Jesus loved people as a steward - orienting all aspects of his life to fulfilling the reason for which God sent Him. In John 17:4, Jesus prayed to His Father, 'I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.' Similarly, God has given us a work to accomplish as well.

We were spared Ian's full force but those just south of us endured its full fury. Anticipating hurricanes or suffering their full force punctuate what we already experience daily - not as ferociously but no less real - trouble can overtake our lives. Health deteriorates, relationships languish, loved ones die, conflict abounds, jobs end unexpectantly, leaders fall, hopes fade, and people betr...

Jesus came to preach or "sow" the Word of God, like a sower plants seeds in the ground. If the Word of God takes root in our hearts and lives, we too will become sowers of the Word. Even though this may be intimidating, we can take courage that when we "sow" the Word, the Gospel goes forth not by our own power or ability, but by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Support the show

Our journey through 1 Thessalonians has shown us that to follow Jesus means we love people as He loves people; we seek and serve others. This week we see that loving people also means that we shepherd others. We're far removed from the days when shepherding was a common occupation and the metaphor may not be as readily accessible to us as seeking and serving are. However, seeing Jesus as our...

Jesus said that He came not to be served but to serve and offer His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). If we will follow Jesus, we will serve others too. Serving others in our era presents challenges. How do we serve people who seem self-sufficient, independent, and for whom accepting help may be viewed as a weakness? Join us this Sunday as we see from God’s Word what it means to love others...

In His great love, Jesus seeks people and states the reason He came to our world is 'to seek and save the lost'. As followers of Jesus we love people as Jesus loves people and this means we will seek people too. 'Seeking people' sounds intimidating and possibly conjures up very uncomfortable images of what this might entail. This week as we worship Christ together, we'll l...

In recent Sunday services, we've talked about 'living on mission for Christ' as individuals and as a church. To 'live on mission' essentially means that we love people as Jesus loves people. Please join us this week as we begin exploring what it means to love others as Jesus loves people. Support the show

God's gift of faith that saves us also energizes us to follow Jesus and serve others in love. Following Christ often involves difficulty. In addition to our own uncertainties, fears, and fatigue, people may oppose us or ignore us, and results from our well intentioned-efforts can be, sparse or unpredictable. At times, we may wonder how we can carry on or if serving others is even worth it. If...

This weekend, we’ll continue our new message series in 1 Thessalonians entitled Life Together – where Paul remembers the Thessalonians for their work of faith, labor of love, and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ (1:2). We may think faith, love, and hope are in short supplies these days but they’re available to us for the taking. If you could use some more hope in life, join us this w...

A message series in 1 Thessalonians, that teaches us about knowing and following Jesus together. A book full of encouragement to follow Jesus and live on mission for Him as individuals and as a body of believers as we await His return! This week, we will look at Paul’s encouragement to the church in chapter 1. In addition, Acts 17 details Paul and Silas’ ministry in Thessalonica, which will help s...

While the Bible is incredibly complex, its main message is simple: God saves sinners! We believe salvation belongs to the Lord, meaning that it is a work only God can accomplish. But how does God accomplish our salvation? Romans 8:29-30 describes salvation as a process which some theologians have named "The Golden Chain of Salvation." In this series we'll look at each link in the ch...

Ephesians 2:19-22 tells us that the Church is more than a building or a worship service. The Church is the household of God's people, redeemed by God, built on the foundation of God's Word, and growing into the living temple of the Holy Spirit. It so it is also the main vessel through which God intends to bring about His Kingdom, the hope of the world! Support the show
