Tue, 16 June 2009 Senior Pastor Byron Beck begins a series of messages pertaining to the parables of the lost. This particular sermon deals with the parable of the lost sheep and how remarkably similar we are to sheep. What do you think of when one refers to sheep? Fluffy, innocent, cute? When Jesus refers to people as sheep, He really makes the crude parallel regarding stupidity. We are so unable on our owns to find our way home. The parallel powerfully reminds us of our need for a savior. Taken from the gospel of Luke. Comments[0] |
Wed, 10 June 2009 Associate Pastor Nathan Coleman speaks on the second message out of the series The Dangerous Church. This message deals with what being dangerous for Christ really means. At the core of this teaching is the Parable of the Talents. The challenge is for everyone following Christ to unbury the abilities, resources and opportunities Christ has placed in our reach and use them for His kingdom. We cannot be gripped by fear if we want to do great things. Comments[0] |
Thu, 4 June 2009 General Baptist National Missions Director Dr. Stephen Gray starts a two week series called Dangerous Church. This particular series has been adapted from Craig Groeschel. Dr. Gray describes in detail what the church has become - safe. We live in a culture of safety. This safety mindset puts up walls that keep us from doing real ministry and reaching souls for Christ. We must remember that Jesus called us to be different than the world and do, for Him, some things that involve risk, pain and loss. We must lose ourselves for Him and His kingdom. Comments[0] |
