Come Together

Various Texts  Communion is one of two ordinances in the evangelical church, the other being baptism. In this message, we dive into the rich theological treasure that is Communion, and why it is such a vital piece of our spiritual walk.

Prepare For Impact – Part 6: Holding Pattern

Trust is not an easy thing to surrender to someone else. We need proof and a willingness that trusting another is worth it. The same holds true with faith. Though we are taught to be self-reliant, faith really soars when we learn to surrender and trust God fully. Psalm 37:4-6; Isaiah 26:3-4; 40:31

Prepare For Impact – Part 5: Live Wisely

We know that how we live makes more of an impression and impact than what we say. How do we avoid the mine fields that are part of life and become an example of what it means to live like no one else? Ephesians 5:15-21; Proverbs 11:12

Prepare For Impact – Part 4: Be Generous

One of the practical demonstrations of ultimate faith in God is found in our ability to be generous. We not only benefit others when we are generous, but we also touch the heart of God as well. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

Prepare for Impact – Part 1: Stand Firm

“Unless you stand for something you will fall for everything,” is a well-known adage. How do we stand firm when it seems the entire world is on a mission to discredit faith? Matthew 7:24-27; Colossians 2:8-10

Part 3: Power-Play

Behind our acts of worship is the acknowledgment of power, something greater that deserves our reverence. Whoever we bow down to, must be who we believe has ultimate authority. Matthew 4:8-11

Part 2: The Presumption Trap

Temptations come with certain presumptions that can appear to be rational at first, but dig a little deeper, and the potential for greater damage is quickly exposed. Matthew 4:5-7

Part 1: I Need This

Temptations come in mamy forms, but the most lethal are the ones that come in the guise of fulfilling a legitimate need. Matthew 4:1-4

Part 7: The House that Jesus Built

The church, as an institution, has been the object of attack, both from the outside world and within its very ranks for centuries. Why should believers care about the way in which “the church’ is treated and portrayed? Matthew 5:13-16; Acts 20:28-31; 1 Corinthians 3:10-11; 1 Peter 2:9-12

Part 6: The Greater Blessing

We all know what happens when we close our minds. We stop growing and the older we get; the bleaker life becomes. the same is true when we close our hearts, we miss out on experienceing the greater blessings God has in store for us. Proverbs 18:13, 15; Luke 16:10-12; Matthew 13:14-15; 2 Timothy 3:1-5
