Life on Mission // Sent Aug 07, 2022

Show notes

As followers of Jesus we’ve been called in to His body in order to be sent out into the world with both gentleness AND courage. The only way to get the power to live on mission like that is to rejoice, not in power, not if gifting, not in your influence that we have, but rejoice that your name, of all names, is already written in heaven by the miraculous grace of God.

When your heart is resting in that reality, when the Lord asks you as He did Isaiah in chapter 6… “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” you’ll be able to say, “Here I am! Send me.”

Life on Mission // Do you see what God sees? Jul 31, 2022

Show notes

Do you see people the way that God does?

Pastor Rob challenged us with this question this morning because oftentimes we justify keeping a safe distance from those we view as different than us based on our assumptions, predetermined conclusions, broad brush stereotypes, rather than getting to know them. But if we do that, if we don’t look past our opinions and see them for who they are–a person created in the image of God–there’s no way we can truly love those around us.

If we are only about loving people who act like us, think like us, and believe like us, we will not actually reach anyone for Christ–we will not live on mission.

Life on Mission // An Unhurried Life Jul 24, 2022

Show notes

As Christians, we have a very clear mission, but it gets muddled through the busyness and frantic pace the world demands that we live in. Which leaves us feeling anxious and worried about many things.

We’re called to live in the culture, but counter to the culture! Jesus sets the pace for us, it’s slow and unhurried. When we live like this, we can be present with Jesus and be present with the people that are in close proximity to us.

Life on Mission // Who is My Neighbor? Jul 17, 2022

Show notes

Jesus said we should love our neighbor as ourselves, but oftentimes we don’t actually want to define who our neighbor is, so that we aren’t actually held accountable for intentionally loving anyone. A neighbor is anyone you encounter with a need. There’s a million excuses in the book for why we avoid our neighbors like we’re too busy and don’t have time, but if you wait to live on mission until your life is perfect, you never will.

Life on Mission // The Greatest Commandment Jul 10, 2022

Show notes

This morning Pastor Rob kicked off the Life on Mission series by talking about the greatest commandment Jesus has given us from Mark 12:30-31 which says “…you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Jesus is telling His followers this simple truth: Your love for God is revealed by your love for people. God wants you to express your love for Him by loving your neighbor, serving your neighbor, telling your neighbor about Him. If you’re a follower of Jesus, His desire is that you would be intentional about living on mission.

You don’t have to go to Africa to be on mission–God put you where you are for a reason, and we all have people around us who need to hear that they have purpose, and that are seen by a God who loves them and wants to be in relationship with them. Challenge yourself this week–simply begin to pray for your neighbor!

The Transformed Life // The Power of Transformation Jul 03, 2022

Show notes

This morning Pastor Rob finished out The Transformed Life series by talking about the power of transformation. When God calls us to share with others about what He’s done in our life and you obey Him in the call of disciple-making, it’s not just for others–it’s for you too! It is like pouring jet fuel on your own transformation journey because not only will you witness life change and transformation in others, but you’ll see yourself being made more and more into the image of Christ in the process.

The Transformed Life // The Purpose of Transformation Jun 26, 2022

Show notes

In our fourth and final week of talking about being changed by Jesus, Pastor Dave taught on The Purpose of Transformation. God transformed us not only for our benefit, but so that we could make an impact by advancing His Kingdom, and bringing glory to His name. Advancing the Kingdom is the mission of the Church–it’s why we’re here on Earth. We should be about telling people about Jesus, making disciples, and living in such a way that enhances the reputation of God in the eyes of others.

The Transformed Life // The Proof of Transformation Jun 19, 2022

Show notes

This morning Pastor Dave broke down the expressions of love found in 1 Corinthians 13 because the way that we love others is how we and the world around us can know that we have been transformed by Jesus.

The Transformed Life // The Priority of Transformation Jun 12, 2022

Show notes

This week Pastor Dave built on the the process of transformation by talking about the priority of transformation. Our Heavenly Father’s primary aim, next to reconciling you to Himself, showering you with His love and forgiveness, and welcoming you into His heavenly family, is forming you to look more like His Son. God is more concerned with developing your character than He is with your comfort. He is the God of all comfort, but His priority is to transform you to make you look more like Jesus!

The Transformed Life // The Process of Transformation Jun 05, 2022

Show notes

This morning Pastor Dave Buehring kicked off a new 4-part series called The Transformed Life where we’ll be diving into what it means to live a life being transformed by Jesus. It’s not just about knowledge of the Bible—if there is no application then transformation doesn’t happen. It’s obeying what God is revealing that brings about transformation.
