    A Commitment to Community (1 Corinthians 12:12-27)

    A Commitment to Community (1 Corinthians 12:12-27)

    Throughout April, we are looking at a series called Stories. This series explores the stories that we are connected to and influenced by, as a church community. This explores the places we as a church are invested locally, regionally, and globally.  On April 28, Pastor Jeff McLain looked at 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 and the way God calls the local church not only to be a missional force in the neighborhood but a place in which we missionally live out God's goodness and good news to each other. Our story is beautiful when we learn to live interdependent and interconnected on each other.

    We Focus On The Cross (Resurrection Sunday)

    We Focus On The Cross (Resurrection Sunday)

    On Sunday, March 31, at River Corner Church, Pastor Jeff McLain looked at the power of the cross in his Resurrection Sunday sermon message We Focus On The Cross. The problem of sin is that it pollutes, has power, has a penalty, partitions us, and has pain associated with it. We focus on the cross because it is the method Jesus overcame all that looks to imprison and define us. The cross reminds us that neither sin nor death has a final word. As followers of Jesus, the cross reminds us of God’s love, forgiveness and pursuit of humanity. The cross is what gives us the power to overcome the places sin’s pollution, power, penalty, partition, and pain holds place in our lives. Lastly, we also focus on the cross because it reminds us of the life we are called to live.

    The Cost of Stepping Into the Kingdom (Luke 9:57–62)

    The Cost of Stepping Into the Kingdom (Luke 9:57–62)

    On March 17, at River Corner Church, Pastor Jeff McLain looked at Luke 9:57-62 and the cost of stepping into the Kingdom. Together we looked at what it means to continually say yes to Jesus and to accurately count the cost of following Jesus.

    About saying yes to Jesus, John Wimber once said, "The economy of the kingdom of God is quite simple.  Every new step in the kingdom costs us everything we have gained to date.  Every time we cross a new threshold, it costs us everything we now have.  Every new step may cost us all the reputation and security we have accumulated up to that point.  It costs us our life.  A disciple is always ready to take the next step.  If there is anything that characterizes Christian maturity, it is the willingness to become a beginner again for Jesus Christ.  It is the willingness to put our hand in his hand and say, “I’m scared to death, but I’ll go with you.  You’re the Pearl of great price.”
