01-03-2016: Avoiding Conformity to the World
Sunday Jan 03, 2016
Sunday Jan 03, 2016
Scriptures
1 Peter 1.13-21
Ephesians 4.22-32
Summary
Problem: Western culture throughly rejects biblical values–most notably values dealing with sexuality and valuing all forms of human life. The Church deals with diametrically opposed culture one of three ways.
Solution: One can conform, rebel, or speak out in grace and truth. We are called to respond gracefully and truthfully because we are obsessed with God and God’s world view. This obsession comes from spending time with Jesus and in His Word. It is a process.

11-08-2015 Barriers to God’s Will
Sunday Nov 08, 2015
Sunday Nov 08, 2015
Scripture:
Luke 17.20-21
Mt. 14.22-33
Jn. 15.7-8
Barriers to God’s will are rooting in lack of trust which manifests in not letting go of our own will. We overcome this by realizing the kingdom is within us—a present reality. For the Kingdom’s sake and his glory, God WILL move us into the situations necessary for our own growth or the growth or salvation of other people.
