Jonah 3 shows us that God is a God of second chances, judgment and mercy.
Sent On Mission
October 22, 2023 • Ernie Charlton • Jonah 3
We live in a world with a multitude of religions and world views. The Christian Gospel is the only true hope for people. Jonah brought the message of God to his enemies; they believed and repented. It is the role of every Christian to share the gospel, entrusting the transformation of hearts to God.
Sent On Mission
October 22, 2023 • Pastor Ron van Akker • Jonah 3
God is on a mission to redeem the lost. In turn he commissions us to be sent on mission. We do well to recognize that we were once far from him, and we have been tasked with sharing His Word with those who do not know him. When we are faithful to our mission we can anticipate extraordinary responses to the grace and mercy of God.
Sent on Mission
October 22, 2023 • Matt Shantz • Jonah 3
The story of Jonah teaches us a lot about what it means to be sent on mission. Most of all, it teaches us about God’s heart for the lost and the mission He calls us to engage with Him in.
Equipped for Ministry
October 15, 2023 • Matt Shantz • 2 Timothy 2:2
Like a football team running a play, everyone in the church has a role to play. Paul entrusted the gospel to Timothy and instructed him to teach it to others who would then also teach it to others. When we recognize that Jesus established the church in such a way that everyone is a minister with a ministry, we grow as disciples, the church is strengthened, and the Great Commission gets fulfilled.
Equipped For Ministry
October 15, 2023 • Pastor Eldon Fehr • 2 Timothy 2:1–2
If the gospel is to be preached to all nations before Jesus returns, we have work to do! And the task at hand is impossible for any one person – or even many people. It requires “all hands on deck”! And so, the charge to church leaders is to equip and prepare God’s people for works of service, all pointing to the finished work of Christ.
Equipped For Ministry
October 15, 2023 • Pastor Jeremy Isaak • 2 Timothy 2:1–2
When the mission of the church is to make disciples of all nations, adding disciples one at a time will not cut it. It’s absolutely critical to multiply. As we take a look at our fifth value we discover that Scripture gives us foundational instruction for how we are called to equip others for ministry.
Equipped For Ministry
October 15, 2023 • Pastor Jonathan Neufeld • 2 Timothy 2:1–4
When Jesus ascended into heaven he called his disciples to make more disciples. This foundational call on the church means we are always called to pass along our faith to others. For this we must be equipped in our faith and seek to equip others so that they can pass it along as well.
Empowered By The Spirit
October 8, 2023 • Pastor Jonathan Neufeld • Galatians 5:16–25
The Holy Spirit is vital to the church. We cannot accomplish our purpose without the work of the Holy Spirit empowering us to grow in our walk with Christ. The Holy Spirit empowers every believer to bear fruit and at the same time helping us make practical steps to be more like Jesus.
Empowered By The Spirit
October 8, 2023 • Pastor Jeremy Isaak • Galatians 5:16–25
The Holy Spirit is the third member of the Trinity that often lands Christians in one of two extremes. On the one hand, Christians can seek to “play it safe” and put the Spirit and his leading in a tightly sealed box. On the other hand, there are Christians who place too heavy a focus on spiritual gifts, healings and miracles at the expense of the Gospel. Despite the extremes, the testimony of Scripture is that we desperately need the Holy Spirit to empower us to lead faithful and fruitful lives for the glory of Christ.
Empowered By The Spirit
October 8, 2023 • Pastor Eldon Fehr • Galatians 5:16–25
There is no way we that we can live the Christian life or fulfill The Great Commission on our own. Living on mission and embracing the vision and values given that God has given us demands the empowering work of the Spirit of God.
Empowered By The Spirit
October 8, 2023 • Matt Shantz • Galatians 5:16–25
When Jesus saves us He calls us to live a life that is pleasing to God and effective for ministry. Thankfully He does not leave us to our own devices. Fighting sin and bearing fruit are possible because believers are empowered by the Spirit.
