Kingdom Community (Johnson)

Throughout the book of Acts we see a remarkable unity between people of different races. This was a shock to the current culture who wanted to keep people divided, labeled and living in their own social cast. Christians boasted a new identity where whether you born a slave or free, man or woman, Jew or Gentile, poor or rich, or whatever the world used to divide---were now equal in Christ. This was a radical challenge to the entrenched social structure at the time of the early church as well as a...

Kingdom Identity (Johnson)

The foundation for Christian living comes from our unique identity that we have been given through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Scripture says that when we were baptized we died to ourselves and live for Jesus alone and His mission on earth. We have been made a people that are in the world but not of the world. A people that live in the values of this world but are not guided by the values of this world. We are also a people who have been sent into this world as ambassadors/witnesses to ...

Taking Up Kindness (Johnson)

Our last message was about giving up bitterness in our hearts and it naturally follows that we’d talk about actions connected to letting go on the heels of that subject. You see, if we allow bitterness to take root in our hearts, then the fruit of that root is bound to be seeking vengeance against the person who wronged us. We often “just want to get even” with the person who has wronged us. But that is not the way of the disciple of Jesus. The opposite attitude is what we’re called to display. ...

Taking Up Letting Go (Phillips)

All of us will be hurt by someone at some point. It’s simply inevitable...living with other sinners in a sinful world...you will get your feelings hurt and sometimes you will be hurt in very serious and deeply permanent ways. And the truth is, even if you are hurt only once...it can breed bitterness in your heart. Having said that, since you live in this sin-torn world and you will very likely be hurt multiple times throughout your life, and so bitterness can become a very real part of your hear...

Taking Up Generosity (Meyer)

How much is enough? That’s an important question to ask ourselves as Christians living in a very affluent society. We may not be rich ourselves, but the truth is, even the poorest of the poor in the U.S. is so far better off than the rest of the world, it’s truly amazing. Unfortunately, that affluence can breed in us a very insidious sin known as “greed” as we look out only for our own interests and not the interests of others. We can become greedy, hoarding for ourselves, rather than what the L...
