  1. How to BE the Church - Part 6: The Church Must Be COURAGEOUS

    5 DAYS AGO

    How to BE the Church - Part 6: The Church Must Be COURAGEOUS

    Our Study in Acts continues... Peter and John have just healed a lame man through the name and power of Jesus. The man is obviously ecstatic and the gathering crowd is curious now and open to the gospel. You'd think EVERYONE would want to carry these two disciples on their shoulders in a heroes' parade, but wouldn't you know it, there are powerful people who want them silenced and punished. You may have heard the expression "no good deed goes unpunished" and it starts to really apply to the first-century Church. Of course, we should expect some form of pushback to the ways of Jesus, who himself told us it would happen, but it's especially discouraging when it comes from the so-called religious set. The folks who should know better. So whether it's from the "world" or the religious powers that be, we the Church are going to need to be increasingly COURAGEOUS!

  2. How to BE the Church - Part 5: There is Power in the Name of Jesus

    How to BE the Church - Part 5: There is Power in the Name of Jesus

    Our Study in Acts continues... As we've seen in the first few months of the Church's origin story, the Holy Spirit comes with wind and fire. It comes with the supernatural gift of speaking in other known languages for the purpose of proclaiming Jesus. The Holy Spirit comes with a new boldness to recently fearful disciples and a clear articulation of the gospel. The Holy Spirit comes with a harvest of souls. It comes with unity, fellowship, devotion, generosity and worship. The stakes keep getting higher. Now in Chapter 3 the Holy Spirit comes with POWER, and the whole city is about to take notice.

  3. How to BE the Church - Part 4: This is What it Looks Like

    How to BE the Church - Part 4: This is What it Looks Like

    Our Study in Acts continues with guest speaker Tony Wong. If you have ever read the brief verses describing this early Church in Acts 2:42-47, perhaps your heart has sped up as mine has. THIS sounds like the Church we all long to be a part of... Deep community. Breaking bread together. Praying together. Sharing possessions and money for those among them in need. There was JOY. There was generosity. There was goodwill towards them from the city AND people were getting saved daily. That kind of Church IS possible. You'll be richly ministered to by Tony, who is looking to build this kind of Church as well.

  4. How to BE the Church - Part 3: The Church: Day One

    OCT 27

    How to BE the Church - Part 3: The Church: Day One

    Our Study in Acts continues... Remember that blustery fisherman dude with a temper, who 50 days prior had fearfully denied the Lord three times? He is beautifully forgiven and restored by Jesus over breakfast following His resurrection, and then before Jesus ascended to heaven, told him and the other disciples to WAIT... something exciting is going to happen that will fill you with courage and empower you for ministry. That same blustery fisherman - Peter - then stands up in front of thousands and ... well... it's the beginning of an unstoppable force called the Church of Jesus.

  5. How to BE the Church - Part 2: This Changes Everything!

    OCT 20

    How to BE the Church - Part 2: This Changes Everything!

    This following proposition may be controversial but here goes... Without the events of Acts 2, there is no Christianity. There. I said it. The Incarnation of Jesus proved He was a missionary to the world He created. The Cross proved His great sacrificial love and plan for salvation. The Resurrection proves the hope we have of eternal life and our enemy of death being ultimately defeated. The Ascension proves Jesus is truly Lord and King BUT I would submit without PENTECOST all of these events would be lost as footnotes of history if the good news didn't get OUT. It DID and it changed EVERYTHING

    How to BE the Church

    There might be as many opinions as there are people as to what it means to BE the Church and BE a true disciple Sometimes in the business world, when the organization begins to drift or lose their core values, there is a strategic effort to return to the founder's vision and template. I can't help but think our "Founder's" vision and values for The Church and for true discipleship can best be found in the unique book of Acts There isn't a boring page to be found and some of the narratives are so radical, one might ask "could this even happen in 2024?" Yes. I think it can. We are planning to dig deep into all 28 chapters and hope that you will join in the journey... perhaps by reading ahead, bringing your Bible & notebook, or most of all asking yourself every week: "How can I translate this first-century expression of being the Church into my 21st-century context for the sake of being Jesus' witness everywhere I go?"

  7. Fight the Real Enemy - Part 4: The World

    OCT 6

    Fight the Real Enemy - Part 4: The World

    Context is everything... Think of a simple word like "ball" 1. A cylindrical toy or sporting apparatus that most often bounces (noun) 2. A dance party where you dress in formal attire (noun) 3. To have a good time, as in, "we had a ball" (idiom) That's just one example, and we are typically adept at parsing out words depending on their context; but in a theological context what does it mean that both THE WORLD is an enemy of our soul AND that God so loved THE WORLD He gave His only son? How can it be something we are to both avoid AND engage with? How can it be we are to hate it AND make it our Mission? Join us for the conclusion to this series - Fight the REAL Enemy.

  8. Fight the Real Enemy - Part 3: The Flesh

    SEP 29

    Fight the Real Enemy - Part 3: The Flesh

    Pastor Glenn is only partly right. I (Jonathan) only hate MOST country music. There's one cowboy I hold in hallowed esteem... The "man in black"... Johnny Cash. A committed Christian, who had previously done some "hard livin’ ”, Johnny wrote nuanced songs of faith AND of struggle. This is one of my favourites: The beast in me is caged by frail and fragile bars Restless by day and by night rants and rages at the stars God help the beast in me Sometimes it tries to kid me that it's just a teddy bear And even somehow manage to vanish in the air And that is when I must beware Of the beast in me A folksy take on an enemy we all live with - what the New Testament calls THE FLESH
