    The King is Here: The Solution to the 7 Deadly Sins

    On Sunday, one of our elders, Austin Smith, explored Jesus’ radical definition on greatness found in Luke 22v24-30.    While the disciples argue about status, Jesus teaches that true greatness in His kingdom is found in humble service—becoming useful rather than trying to get ahead.   Worldly self-centeredness will keep us from loving others well, but in Jesus’ life we see another way to live. He is so certain of His identity as a beloved son, that he is able to go low, to be grateful and generous in every situation.   As we grow in gratitude to God, may our lives become acts of worship and may we be found useful to his kingdom.

    The King is Here: The Last Supper

    On Sunday we got to hear from Bria on the Last Supper passage in Luke 22v1-23.   The Last Supper is not just a famous scene, but an intentional fulfillment of the Jewish Passover. Jesus transforms the Seder’s promises of sanctification, deliverance, redemption, and praise into a new covenant centered on Himself.   As the true Passover Lamb, He invites His disciples—and us—not just to remember the Exodus, but to remember Him: His body broken, His blood poured out, and the fullness found only in union with Him.

    The King is Here: The End of the Age

    Luke 21v5-38 has been interpreted by many modern Protestants as an end times prediction. On Sunday, Alex gave us some helpful tools to aid in our interpretation of Jesus' words in this passage.   There is both prophetic and apocalyptic language in this passage, and it is important to distinguish which is happening when. Jesus does describe an actual event in the future of Israel where Rome takes Jerusalem by siege and destroys the temple (70 AD). He also uses apocalyptic imagery to describe patterns we can expect to see in the world until His return.    Amid the tumult of living in this world, Jesus calls our attention to what matters most - the Holy Spirit with us and the mission God has given us to advance the kingdom.   We pray that this message encourages you in your walk with Jesus!

    Saints in the World: Labor

    The overarching idea of this series is that we live in this world, we don’t live in heaven fully yet. God designed it this way, and it means we have a role to play.  Your labor will likely be one of the largest roles you play in bringing heaven to earth. While toil is a result of the fall, labor is not. Humans were made to labor with God - made to build, to act upon created things in order to make them more than they would have been on their own. In God’s economy, labor leads to ownership and ownership leads to offering. This is a life of worship.  We pray that through this series, God will be speaking to you about your gifts, your limitations, and the opportunities He's given you. These will inform how you take ownership and serve wherever He has placed you.

    Saints in the World: How Should We Vote?

    In this series we have been talking about how we experience our faith in the world around us. This week, Alex aimed to answer the question, what sort of world should Christians seek to build with our politics? We cannot avoid politics because our faith is incarnational, shaping culture, institutions, and everyday decisions. However, history warns us against using power or theocracy to impose belief.  There is a tension between what we believe to be universal morals, and the particular realities of our day and age. We must be slow, humble and thoughtful in forming political views. We believe Christians should advocate for governments that protect God-given freedoms; however, the heart of our witness is not policy but a life shaped by the cross, where mercy and self-sacrifice speak louder than power.

    Saints in the World: Why Politics?

    Is Christianity mainly about the Spirit catching people up into the progression of heaven on earth? Or is Christianity mainly about building institutions, societies, and laws that benefit the individual conscience and familial aims? We see both in the Scriptures. Spirit and structure.  As Christians, we engage in politics because of the Incarnation. Because Jesus is both God and man, heaven and earth are coming together. The earthly king is not God, but humans have the ability in partnership with God to bring His rule into ours.  The messy part is how that happens and with what sort of methods. Many Christians disagree on these things, and we must guard our hearts against resentment. May God bring us to repentance, extend His grace towards us, and show us how to love one another so that we can receive His vision for heaven on earth in all its nuance and beauty.

    Saints in the World: The Mission of God

    The entire Bible is about the mission of God. God wants to restore trust with humans, which will lead to the restoration of all creation.   In the Scriptures, we are given the creational mandate in Genesis and the Great Commission in Matthew. This means that discipleship is important in this life, but so is your work, your family, and your time.  If we can get a bigger picture of evangelism, one that includes the breadth of God’s mission, we can begin to announce the gospel with our lives.

    Saints in the World: What is the Good News to the World?

    On Sunday we began a new series by reading Colossians 1v15-23 and asking the question, “What is our message to the world?” Our conviction is that the gospel is not just personal, it’s also cosmic. This is a far cry from the personal, private, gnostic American gospel that we were born into.  Because of the incarnation, salvation is neither an escape from this world or a perfection of it. It seems that the authors of the Scriptures want us to see ourselves as a part of the cosmos that is being reconciled through Christ - to love this world enough to want to participate in its restoration.  The hope of resurrection changes the way we live. We can live without fear and build with God things that will last forever.
