Built For More – Part 3 – Blessed For The Nations

If we asked people what they have been most fearful of during this time, we may get many different answers; from COVID-19, social injustices, the unknown future, or maybe the safety of their family. But we have good news, THE good news! God is the greatest and most powerful. Period. And guess what? He’s on our side! Discover with us in our newest message, Imagined Disaster, how when God is with us, we have nothing to fear.

Built For More – Part 1 – The Goodness of Unity

 When one testifies in a courtroom, it’s usually to present evidence or because they witnessed something important. When we witness God’s goodness and power even during trials of life, we cannot help but testify!! We invite you to discover more on this message, Collective Testimony.

Has worship ever seemed like just a tradition you are supposed to do before a Sunday service? And now, worship seems less inspiring over a TV or computer screen? In Part 3 of our message series, Assembly Required, we are discussing the importance of praising God in every season. Worship is the key to unlocking blessings that we may have never realized. So what does happen when we praise God? Discover more in this message, Ever-present Praise.

Have you ever had to forgive someone who wasn’t really sorry? Not the easiest thing to do and ultimately that relationship will never be the same. Without repentance there is rarely a restored relationship. It's the same with God (and it’s not His fault). God wants nothing more than to have a relationship with us, with YOU! If our sin earns us God’s displeasure and separation from us, how is it possible to be restored to relationship and joy? Let's find out together as we discuss The Joy of Confession.

Through the Parable of the Great Reversal, Jesus points our focus inward, inviting us to reflect on our own posture toward the Word of God. At the same time, he guides our attention to what's to come, revealing to each one of us how our posture today determines our position in eternity. 

How do you know what your priorities really are? That’s not a trick question, and in many ways the trials and afflictions of this last year have revealed where our priorities are truly found, but I wonder if we’re quick to say something is priority when in fact it doesn’t show up in our lives as a priority. This weekend, we are pausing our series in the Parables of Luke to begin our summer series in the Book of Psalms. It’s a little out of order, but don’t worry, we’re going to wrap up our Parables series next week and pick back up on the Psalms the week after. This series that we’ve titled, “Assembly Required,” in the Psalms, will reinforce our conviction that when we come to worship together as God’s people, we will take pleasure in the Word of God. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the building or online, we will “praise the Lord” until we are out of breath.That brings us to our passage today: Psalm 1. Here’s what I’m going to do today. We’re going to use Psalm 1 to determine whether our lives rightfully reflect our beliefs. If you didn’t get that, it’s just a low key way of saying that this Psalm will confront us about how we actually practice our faith and whether our practice is true. I hope, and I’ve prayed, that God will use what he’s teaching me in this Psalm to color your perspective of your activities as well.
