7 Key Commitments
Transformational Discipleship
March 12, 2023 • Pastor Erik Sanders • Matthew 28:19–20
Our third key commitment is to transformational discipleship. Please understand that “making disciples” or discipleship is more than information, and it is more than a program. Many churches equate discipleship with knowledge. Churches who view discipleship as information transfer seek to stuff as much information about the Bible into as many people as quickly as they possibly can. I realize this sounds noble, but the essence of discipleship is transformational not informational. Jesus did not merely ask us to teach everything He commanded. He asked us to teach people to live out everything He commanded, and the difference is massive!
Gospel Centered Evangelism
February 26, 2023 • Pastor Erik Sanders
Good deeds are wonderful, and as a church we want to make sure we are caring for our community. We want to be a good neighbor, and part of being a good neighbor is caring and ministering for the physical needs around us. How do we stay gospel-centered in our evangelism? Watch to learn more!
Biblical Preaching
February 19, 2023 • Pastor Erik Sanders
Simply put, we want to preach Bible messages in a Bible kind of way. If it is a narrative passage, we preach the story. When it is prophetic, we declare the oracles of God. As we cross into the epistles, we teach the principles. But in all of the various genres of the Bible, we never want to lose the sense that we are communicating eternal truth to people who need gospel transformation. To that end, we are determined to let the passage God unveils before us drive both the content and the manner of the preaching.
