The Mighty Meek Mar 28, 2021

Show notes

Join us today for a look at meekness, our strength under God’s control. Jesus teaches us that meekness is not weakness, rather, it is a humble strength that God can use to advance His Kingdom and bless the lives of others around you.

So Sad So Happy Mar 21, 2021

Show notes

In his second Beatitude for Kingdom living, Jesus said “Blessed,” that is joyful, happy, “are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” So when we are sad, we can be so happy? How can that be? Well, there are some things—actually, some of life’s most important things—that we can only learn through the kind of pain that brings mourning, and the experience of being comforted in our mourning. And what we will find as this Beatitude unfolds is that best comfort is that which comes from God himself, for he is close to the brokenhearted.

So Poor – So Rich Mar 14, 2021

Show notes

Christians in every age and in every place tend to drift from a biblical view of the kingdom of God to a view that is filtered through the lens of culture. When that happens, God always calls his people to realign their cultural view back to a Kingdom view. And one of the ways he has provided for his people to do that is through the Beatitudes, the preamble to Jesus’ Constitution of the Kingdom found in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5. In these eight simple but profound Beatitudes, Jesus clearly and compellingly sets forth the ethos, or the values of God’s kingdom. As we read, understand and embrace these Beatitudes, what we might call Jesus’ kingdom manifesto, not only we will see how counter American church culture is to kingdom culture, we will also discover a clear path to what God’s kingdom is to look like in and through us. And by that, we will discover how the church can model for the world a bit of heaven while we’re still on earth. In this first message in a new series called Heaven on Earth, we explore the first Beatitude: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.”

The Indwelling: Our Divine Helper Feb 28, 2021

Show notes

In this final and extremely vital message of our “Refocus: Getting Back to the Basics of Discipleship” series, let’s explore why we desperately need the continual presence and power of the Holy Spirit to carry out our main work as disciples: taking the gospel to the world by our lips and through our lives. We will discover the little known reason why God sovereignly chose a dove to symbolize who the Holy Spirit is, how that’s of practical importance to us, why we often don’t sense the Spirit’s presence in our lives, and how we can eliminate one of primary causes that hinders His activity in us.

Work: The Continuation of Worship Feb 21, 2021

Show notes

In whatever we do, whether at home or at the office; for big money or for a meager wage, in retirement or at school, if there’s a future in it or it is a dead-end job, our work matters to God. He created us for work, and to enjoy our work. So, it is just a discipleship basic that we would learn to love what we do. Our work attitude, our work ethic, and our work quality reveal our grasp of God’s intent that the way we work would be an offering unto Him. Using Colossians 3:17-24, we will discover in how to do everything we do as unto the Lord, and by so doing, turn our daily work into God-pleasing worship.

It’s All About Love Feb 14, 2021

Show notes

It’s all about love – those aren’t just the words of a song or a catchy idea. This is, in fact a command from Jesus – to love one another as He loved us. This is the preeminent mark of a disciple and the way we show the world who Jesus is.

By following the “Andrew Factor,” you will find having spiritual conversations with your unsaved loved ones and friends can be done very naturally.

Worship: An Everlasting Preoccupation With God Jan 31, 2021

Show notes

God created us with a unlimited capacity to worship—to be dazzled by him. We were made to praise our Maker as long as we breathe. We were designed to be captivated by the wonder of a God who is infinitely worthy of our highest, costliest, most passionate worship. As A. W. Tozer said: “We’re called to an everlasting preoccupation with God.” An everlasting preoccupation — that’s worship. That is our highest purpose and our very reason for being. In this message, we will unpack what that means for each of us as members of the family of God.
