Living Sent

We exist to invite everyone, everywhere to know and follow Jesus. We Put JESUS FIRST We Do LIFE TOGETHER We PRAY FERVENTLY We GIVE GENEROUSLY We LIVE SENT What does it mean to LIVE SENT? “As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.” — John 17:18 “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” — Mark 10:45 “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem tho...

Whatever It Takes

We exist to invite everyone, everywhere to know and follow Jesus. Are we willing to do whatever it takes to reach the lost for Jesus? On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal. — Luke 5:17 And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus, but ...

Day of Champions

Abide

If you want to see God, look at Jesus Gospel of John - His Name - His Works - His Witnesses “I AM” - The Bread of Life (6:35) - The Light of the World (8:12) - The Door or Gate (10:9) - The Good Shepherd (10:11) - The Resurrection and the Life (11:25) - The Way, the Truth, and the Life (14:6) - The Vine (15:1) ABUNDANT LIFE “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that the...

Kept in His Care

If the LORD is our Helper, we can be confident our life is kept in his care. “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will...

How to Trust God

“I have said these things to you, that you might have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33 “He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he...

The New Covenant

“Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man. For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. They serve a co...

When the Church is at War

To stand strong through spiritual warfare, we must have the right strategy. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you m...

Love’s Battle

“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” — Romans 12:10 “We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.” — 1 John 4:19-21 1. Love is a Battle of Motivation. “We love because he first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19 The love of God for ...

A Model of Love

“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” — Romans 12:10 “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” — 1 John 4:10-12 1. Love Defined. “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to...

Rescued from Love

“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” — Romans 12:10 “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.” — 1 John 4:7–9 1. The Call to Love “Beloved, let us love one another….” — 1 John 4:7a The call to...

Love

“…submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so t...

The Goodness of God

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits…” — Psalm 103:1-2 “This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” — Matthew 15:8 1. Praising God Begins in the Heart. (vs. 1-2) “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits…” — Psalm 103:1-2 2. Praising God means Reflecting on His Goodness. (vs. 2b-...

Parenting on Purpose

What scares you to death? God does not call us to raise perfect children. He teaches us how to parent on purpose. “My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD...

Mother’s Day

“And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.” — Matthew 15:21 Our primary responsibility as children of God is to take the gospel to everyone, everywhere. “And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, ‘Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.’ But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, ‘Send her away, for she is crying out after us.’” — Matthew 15:22-23...

The Magnificence of Marriage

Healthy Marriages are the Foundation of Healthy Homes “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”— Genesis 2:24 1. Leave “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother… — Genesis 2:24 We must leave our parents. Your spouse is your new priority. We must leave our past. 2. Cleave “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife — Genesis 2:24 Marriage is not contractual; it’s covenantal....

Protect Your House

Healthy Homes Protect Themselves From The Attacks of the Enemy by Shielding Themselves with the Love of God “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” — 1 John 2:15–17 1. Protec...

The Rhythms of a Healthy Home

Healthy Homes Have Healthy Rhythms. “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlet...

Shaped by Prayer

Healthy Homes are shaped by prayer. How Should We Pray? 1. We should pray like a child. (vs. 9) “Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven…”— Matthew 6:9 - Our Father has a family - Our Father knows what we need. - Our Father is over all. 2. We should pray with a heavenly hunger. (vs. 9a–10) “Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”— Matthew 6:10 - For Our Father’s Name to be Honored - For Our Father’s Kingdom to Come - For Our Father’s Will to b...

The Foundations of a Healthy Home

“Those who come into our homes should sense the presence of God.” — Billy Graham Healthy homes are built on healthy disciples. 1. Healthy disciples set their hearts and minds on Jesus. “If then you have been raised with Christ seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also wi...

Easter 2024

“It’s not that I’m afraid of dying, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” — Woody Allen, Actor Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” — John 11:25-26 1. The Problem: Sickness and death. 2. The Tension: The delay. “Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in ...

Never Quit

Healthy churches never quit fighting for the faith. 1. Flee. “But as for you, O man of God, flee these things.” — 1 Timothy 6:11a 2. Pursue “Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.” — 1 Timothy 6:11b Separation without consecration leads to isolation. 3. Fight “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” — 1 Timothy 6:12 “The laborers hel...

True Contentment

Healthy churches find true contentment in their pursuit of godliness. 1. Pursue godliness. “If anyone teaches a different doctrine…” — 1 Timothy 6:3 “...he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.” — 1 Timothy 6:4-5 Godliness ...

A Household of Honor

In a healthy church, the members are committed to honoring one another. 1. We must honor our older and younger members as family (5:1-2) “Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity.” — 1 Timothy 5:1–2 a) Older Men as Fathers b) Older Women as Mothers c) Younger Men as Brothers d) Younger Women as Sister 2. We must honor our widows with care (5:3–8) “Honor widows who are truly widows....

Making and Maturing Disciples

A healthy church is committed to making and maturing disciples. 1. Cling to Jesus and reject false teaching. “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons…” — 1 Timothy 4:1 “…through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.” — 1 Timothy...

The Household of God - Part 2

Healthy churches must have humble servants. “Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, ‘It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we wil...

The Household of God - Part 1

“I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.” — 1 Timothy 3:14-15 Healthy churches must have healthy pastors. “Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not dec...

Prayer

A healthy church prays fervently for gospel advancement. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.’" — Matthew 9:37–38 1. We must prioritize praying for our neighbors and the nations. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people…” — 1 Timothy 2:1 Our prayers are a weapon to unleash God’s power....

This Is My Story

A healthy church is overwhelmed by the grace of God. 1. The grace of God for the present: Service “I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service…” — 1 Timothy 1:12 Serving God is a great privilege. “…fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” — Isaiah 41:10 2. The grace of God for the past: Salvation “…though fo...
