Kim Richardson continues our series titled, "Rooted in Christ" on the mission of reconciliation by looking at how we can love others like Jesus loves them. Kim teaches how we can become intentional on restoring dignity and treating all people equal in the same way Jesus loves us.
As we begin a new series titled, "Rooted in Christ Jesus." Chip talks about how we all followers of Jesus have been given a task by God to reconcile people back to Him through Jesus. How can we represent Jesus in a way that draws someone into the Kingdom of Heaven, into a relationship with Jesus?
Pastor Mitch Price from Life Vineyard in Fairfield County uses the story of Moses to teach how God calls us to join Him in what He is doing, but like Moses, we often use excuses and allow our insecurities stop us from what God is calling us into. However, with God, He is always with us, and He is the One who gives us the ability to do what He's calling us into. We never go at it alone!
Our guest speaker Wade Coffey, lead pastor at Muskingham Valley Vineyard teaches on the ministry of reconciliation. When we are reconciled back to God through Jesus, we live in victory! Not a victory that is won by our own might, but a victory that was won, and paid for by Jesus, the One who reconciles us back to the Father. This is true victory!!
Kim Richardson shares about our partnership with Convoy of Hope, and the field teams mission trips we recently joined them on, both domestic and international. Kim also challenges us to listen for the call of God, and do the next kind thing that God puts in front of us. We can't do everything, but together, all of us can do something.
As we finish our series on seeing things the way God sees them. We look at the "million dollar question." Where is God in my trial, in my difficult chapter of life? We take a few different looks on how we can navigate through trials and look for God to lead us through.
As we continue our series on seeing through the lens in which God sees things through, we are looking at how God sees relationships, and how we can bring the same Kingdom of Heaven experiences we have into our relationships.
As we continue our series on how to see things the way God sees them, we look at how we can learn to see people with the same compassion and viewpoint God sees them with. Jesus came to the earth to sacrifice His life for all people. His love for humanity is that great, and He is looking for those willing to join Him reconciling others back to God the Father. Can we learn to love others in the same way Jesus loves us?
Today, we lay the foundation for a new 4-part sermon series on how we can see things the way God sees them. But beyond that, we also look at how God sees us. If we had a full understanding of how God sees us, instead of how we see ourselves, we would be unstoppable in our efforts when it comes to the things we set out to do, and also joining God in reconciling others back to Him through Jesus.
As we end this series, we look at how God is constantly searching for people to join Him in reconciling others back to Himself. The invitation to join God in His plan for mankind is always available, but the question is, are we willing to take the risks so others can experience the power of God's Kingdom here on earth?
As we finish the Lord's Prayer (Next week we end the series with the Doxology of the Lord's Prayer), we look at how Jesus is teaching us to ask God to help us stand strong and not give in to temptation, for God is faithful, and He will rescue us when we call upon Him for help. What does staying focused look like from a Kingdom perspective?
In this verse of the Lord's Prayer we move from receiving forgiveness from our Father in Heaven to extending forgiveness to those who hurt us. Today, we will unpack how important is it to God that we extend forgiveness to others, and how do we forgive in a way that keeps us on the path of finding freedom in Forgiveness?
As we get back in to our series on the Lord's Prayer, we unpack a topic that brings freedom in Jesus the way He intended for us to be free, and that is the topic of forgiveness. Forgiveness starts with confession and in confession healing can be experienced.
The Bible often uses doors as a metaphor to the many decisions, opportunities, and warnings we face in life. We can also use the Bible to help us navigate through these many decisions and opportunities (Doors) we face, as God is a generous God and He will not rebuke us for seeking His wisdom.
Kim Richardson share a special Mother's Day message on the concept of surrender and obedience. When we give what little we have to Jesus, He takes that and turns it into a Kingdom adventure of abundance! Kingdom revelation follows an act of obedience.
Today, we unpack the second verse of the Lord's Prayer we look at what it really means to pray for God's Kingdom to come, and for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. As God's Kingdom is but a thin veil away from our earthly realm, and to experience the perfect will of God we must be willing to surrender to His leading.
Today, as we start to unpack the Lord's Prayer we look at the character of God, our Father in heaven, and how He is a Father who cares for every one of us! We also look at how the Lord's Prayer is a great way to get ourselves in good place spiritually before we enter into a conversation with God.
Today, we are starting a new series based on the Lord's Prayer. The Lord's Prayer is the model Jesus teaches on how to pray. But, before we unpack this prayer we are going to lay the groundwork for this series in how connection is part of the equation to drawing near to God and near to others.
For our Easter message we look at how difficult it was for some of the disciples to process the fact that God raised Jesus back to life and out of the grave. How do we process the presence of God when it doesn't always seem logical?
On this day 2,000 years ago the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven came to a sudden stop when Jesus was arrested and crucified. Listen, as we unpack the story, and see that when God seems distant, or when God seems silent, He often isn't. God is often up to something when we feel lost and confused. On this day 2,000 years ago when confusion set in for Jesus' followers, He was breaking the power of the devil by defeating death!
As we celebrate Palm Sunday, we will look at what makes this day so special. What took place 2,000 years ago that made it a day of hope, and prophetically speaking what makes it a day of hope 2,000 years later, and how can we press into the hope Jesus offers so that we can share that with others?
As we finish our Easter Offering giving series we look at how the biblical law of proportion is connected to the law of sowing and reaping. The Apostle Paul teaches that we should not expect God to pour back into our lives in abundance if we are not willing to invest in His Kingdom in proportion to what we have (If a farmer plants a few seeds, he would be foolish to think he's going to reap a generous crop).
Kim Richardson shares with us the ongoing partnership we have with Convoy of Hope, and shares with us, in detail, what the Women's Empowerment Initiative is all about.
In part 2 of our Easter Offering Giving Series, Chip talks about the importance of managing well the gifts and resources God pours into us, and how the outcome is connected to the condition of our hearts.
In part two of our Easter Offering giving series, Chip interviews Steve Dolan from Brazil. Steve oversees the operations of the water filter project, and he has a lot of good information to share as far as what has been happening in Brazil with the water filters. Also, he and Elba give an update on the Vineyard church they pastor in Belem.
