First Love
...and protecting our church from losing its way.
November 20, 2022 • Pastor Jamey Stuart • Ephesians 6:10–12, Ephesians 6:13–17, Ephesians 6:18
Not just a call for an individual to fight temptation but a challenge for a church community to stay committed to following Jesus. How do we keep our first love our first priority? By putting on the armor of God together.
...by living His example in our households...
November 13, 2022 • Pastor Jamey Stuart • 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 5:21, Philippians 2:5–8
Look at the household codes and how it would have meant in their culture and how Paul pushed the cultural limits by infusing Jesus into the Greco Roman way of life.
....so you will understand God's plan for us all...
October 23, 2022 • Pastor Doug Vance • Psalm 117, Ephesians 1:15–16, Ephesians 3:18–19, Ephesians 3:20
Paul was given the opportunity to preach to the gentiles, at the same time God is working in all of us to fulfil his plan on earth. God is able to do so much through us and in us. This is God’s plan for all of us, to know Him and allow Him to work through us.
...and to love each other well...
October 16, 2022 • Pastor Tyler Brown • Ephesians 2:19, John 17:20, Ephesians 2:14
Jesus is our peace which made the two groups one, destroying the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility. The church is built on this unity and love for others. This creates a united and still diverse community that learns to love like Jesus loves.
...to know God's love for you...
October 9, 2022 • Pastor Jamey Stuart • Ephesians 2:7, Ephesians 2:4, Ephesians 2:5–6
Why does God love you so much? He loved you not because you had done something that grabbed his attention, but he loved you because He is so rich in mercy. His mercy is more. It’s an inexhaustible supply of mercy. God doesn’t love me because I’m such a prize, I’m a prize because God loves me!
