    Sunday Sermon | The Mystery and the Fullness of Time | Ephesians | Part 3

    Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on Ephesians. Ephesians 1:1-10. We can be encouraged with the concept of unity; unity about a mission. The creator of the universe has a unified business for all mankind. Every single thing we do must fit into the concept of mission as a son or daughter of God. What do you get excited about? Set things aside for and take weeks to prepare? What are you really invested in? What do you dream about? Pray about? If it’s not directly associated with the centrality of being a son or daughter of God, then you are off. Our greatest joy is associated with what He has called us to do. There are people that need to be rescued. Spiritual warfare and bringing souls to salvation is a massive undertaking and the Lord has made provision - this is our mission. We are soldiers of Christ. Is the way we pray and the things we do day to day a mismatch for the mission of God? The point the Apostle Paul is making, is to never lose the overwhelming consciousness of the fact that we are sons and daughters of God, if we are redeemed. We are in the middle of spiritual warfare, that God has given us great gifts in which to carry out that battle, but that is something that is designed to consume our lives. The things we do should rejuvenate us for the mission of God. The advent of Christ wasn’t the beginning, it was the end. Night is coming. Our investment in the children of the church is about uniting all things in Christ.

    Sunday Sermon | Our Conformity to Christ and the Mission of God

    Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner preaches on conforming to Christ and the mission of God. 1 John 3:1-3. Every church has the exact same mission from God. A mission completely associated with our understanding of the nature of God: proclamation. As we look at 1 John, we see the idea of God’s nature, our joy and conformity to it as we observe it, and the mission of the church. It’s vital for us to see that evangelism is an expression of the mission of the church; it’s what God has called us to do and should be a normal activity of the church. When we think about the mission God has tasked us with, to share our faith, and as we are drawn into this mission as a result of more clarity on our part of the nature of God, we see God doesn’t motivate us out of guilt, and our involvement in mission is not out of desire to grow, or as a method to gain His favor. God’s purposes in mission is a direct reflection of His character and as we become more like Him, we will joyfully involve ourselves in mission. The apostles experienced the Lord Jesus Christ and the result of that was proclamation. They had come to understand their own personal enjoyment of the gospel is directly associated with this proclamation. The only way to have a complete joy is when we proclaim the truths of Christ. Why are we not so compelled? Why are we not experiencing Christ in this way? The church has a singular mission, a direct means to God’s ultimate purpose - to glorify His son through the worship of the church. It’s urgently important for us to know who Christ is. This is why our church and churches like ours have devoted themselves to the proclamation of the word of God. If we don’t know Christ we can’t proclaim Christ and if we can’t proclaim Christ then no one is saved and if no one is saved then the church doesn’t worship and if the church doesn’t worship the son isn’t glorified.
