Outdated: The Return of Jesus

Jesus said He’s coming back. What’s taking Him so long? What did He predict would happen before His return and what should we do now to be ready?

 

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

Outdated: Creation

Where did everything come from? Are people merely a more complicated version of monkeys, fish and bacteria? Let’s look at the Bible’s explanation of where life, the universe and everything came from.

Outdated: Three Surprises about Hell

Saggy pants, rat-tails, powdered wigs and men in tights are no longer in fashion. Beliefs come in and out of fashion as well. But is truth determined by popular vote? Join us as we look at some “outdated” beliefs of the Bible that are still true.

Is Hell real? How bad is it? Who goes there? Let’s dig into what Jesus says about the place many people only know as a cartoon or swear word.

 

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

1 Corinthians: Suing Christians

The world is watching us and deciding if Jesus is worth following. How we treat each other as Christians and how we act when it looks like we are losing perhaps says more than our words ever will.

 

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

1 Corinthians: Judging Christians

Though we have been called to unity as a church, we are also instructed to draw lines and make judgments. The problem is we don’t often judge correctly and we don’t often judge the right people.

 

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

1 Corinthians: Growing Up

The Christian life is lived by grace. And that grace does not leave us where it found us but grows us up into living like Christ. But the Bible might define spiritual maturity differently than we do.

 

Speaker: Matt Pousseur 

1 Corinthians: The Centrality of our Unity

Everything in the church and the Christian life must be centered on and filtered through the cross. Everything changes in light of the cross. Our unity as a church hinges on Christians living a cross-centered life.

 

Speaker: Matt Pousseur 

1 Corinthians: Unite Don’t Fight

A divided church is an unhealthy church. A divided, unhealthy church is a dying church. Therefore the church must fight for unity.

 

Speaker: David Wyman

1 Corinthians: A Messed Up Church Blessed by God

Series: The church is messy because it is full of messy people.  Yet it still is God's chosen instrument to bring light to the world.  How do we reconcile the mess church can be with the perfect of God.  How do we love and serve the church in the way Christ served the church?  1 Corinthians show us how God loves, chastens, disciplines, and restores His church even when it looks too far gone.

Sermon: If we are going to live in this world, we need to understand that God's grace is the only chance we have.  It is also the only chance others have at making it.  We must keep our own need for grace at the forefront of our minds when dealing with others.

Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9

Speaker: David Wyman

Ends of the Earth

How far would you go to save someone you love? To the ends of the earth? God loves the world and following Him means joining Him in His plan to bring that love to the ends of the earth.
