    Rhythms: Worship

    The rhythm of weekly worship encourages us and others with the realities of Christ - his past work and future hope. We were created to worship and we all worship something. Our foundation and motivation for worship is that Christ has invited us into right relationship with God the Prize.

    Rhythms: Prayer

    Did you know we can approach prayer with improper motivations, mindsets, and methods? The right motivation for prayer is one in which we pray to be heard by God, not seen by others. The correct mindset in prayer is one in which we pray intentionally to enjoy God, not mechanically to appease God. And the proper method for prayer is when we pray God-centered prayers, not self-centered prayers. Highlights from the message: Forget “New Year, New Me”… the key to true transformation is not through a discipline of self-improvement but self-denial, think more along the lines of “New Year, less of me.” Prayer is not what comes naturally to us, pride is what comes naturally to us. Prayer is assumed because it is what we need to continually reorient our lives to a God-centered focus. Fasting is also assumed and should be done both reactively and proactively. Practical Encouragements: Pray like a child - Pray with God as the focus - Fast with a purpose.

    Rhythms: Bible

    Are you a Bible Person? Followers of Jesus are Bible people. Someone is a Bible person if they love their Bible, read it daily, memorize scripture, align their life with God’s Word, and others know that the Bible guides and directs their life. Highlights from the message: Reading the Bible at least four times a week is proven to result in a dramatic change of behavior and missional engagement. Practical Tips Start somewhere. Pick a time, pick a place, pick a plan. Bible Dwelling: Small bites. Chew it up. Digest it in your heart. Let it come out in prayer. SOAP: Scripture. Observation. Application. Prayer.

    Christmas Songs: The Angels' Song

    The good news of Jesus Christ is song-producing news! The good news of Jesus Christ is cause for celebration, especially singing. Understanding the good news of Christmas results in song-producing JOY! Highlights from the message: If someone looked at your response to the good news of Jesus, would it appear that you get it? A life lived in continual response to the good news of Jesus is one where the holiness of God (his uniqueness) is perceived in the glory of God (the impact of his uniqueness). The impact of Christ coming to earth results in peace with God, peace with self, and peace with others. We get to give glory to God in all of life because of the peace we have with him!

    Christmas Songs: Mary's Song

    Praising God starts with trusting God. God has graciously given us a Savior while we were spiritually hungry. Worship of God reflects his holiness and our wretched state apart from his saving power. Public praise of God in the extraordinary moments of life overflows from people who privately praise God in the ordinary moments of life.

    2 Corinthians 5:18-21 | Part 2: The Ministry of Reconciliation

    The call to be a Christian is to be an ambassador for Christ. We find ourselves in the world and sent to the world. We desire to recapture the heart and passion to spread the good news of Jesus. This is more than a call to evangelism, this is a call to personal repentance: take the grace of God seriously, be an ambassador for Christ. Highlights from the message: Why Evangelize? The Stakes are high. The call is clear. The news is good. How to Evangelize? Persuasion. Relating. Displaying. Treating. Informing. Passionately. Representation.

    2 Corinthians 5:18-21 | Part 1

    2 Corinthians 5:18-21 | Part 1: The Work of Reconciliation. We can enjoy God forever through God's atoning, transforming, and transferring work of reconciliation through Christ. Jake and Sam follow up on this sermon and discuss how salvation is primarily about reconciliation and worship. Salvation is a work of God from beginning to end. The atonement of Christ includes both the removal of sin and fully settles the record of debt we owe. We understand double imputation from 2 Corinthians 5:21, this means our sin is imputed onto Christ, and Christ’s righteousness is imputed onto us.
