October 29, 2023 • Pastor Stephen DeMik • Proverbs 3:1–8, Proverbs 24:3–7, Philippians 4:19

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther, in an act of frustration over the way the Roman Catholic Church had veered off course, nailed a document—95 Theses, to be exact—to the front door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany.

With a hammer and nail, Luther struck the first blow that would grow into the Protestant Reformation. Luther (and those who joined him) did not initially set out to be the 16th-century version of the church hopper. He set out to reform the church (hence, the term “reformation”) and bring it back to the foundation of God’s Word.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭24‬:‭3‬-‭7‬

By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might, for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory. Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth.

November 19, 2023 • Psalm 111, Matthew 7:24–29, Philippians 4:19

Dear God, help me hear You [Wisdom/Spiritual Capital] Psalm 110:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! Spiritual Capital is a way of talking about the depth of our relationship with God as a disciple of Jesus. Which results in a kind of spiritual equity that we can invest in others. The currency of spiritual capital is wisdom and power that comes from hearing what God is saying and responding with faith and obedience.

November 12, 2023 • Pastor Stephen DeMik • Matthew 10:1–15, Genesis 2:18, 3 John 9–15, Philippians 4:19

November 12 Family Worship Dear God | Who's Got My Back? [Relational Capital] In the Gospels, we see Jesus consistently invest in relational capital and train his disciples to do the same. Once he chose twelve of his disciples to be designated 'apostles,' he prioritized his time and investment in those twelve, developing deep relational capital as he trained them. We also see him repeatedly returning to the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus in Bethany, cultivating relational capital with them and using their home as a base of operations as well as a place of retreat. [Oikonomics, p. 53; Mike Breen & Ben Sternke] Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬ Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Welcome Invocation & Prayer Offering No Longer Slaves Matthew 10:1-15 Homecoming O Come To The Altar Confession & Forgiveness Holy Communion Children's Message Message Genesis 2:18 3 John 1:9-10, 13-15 Prayer & Lord's Prayer Doxology Blessing | Philippians 4:19

November 26, 2023 • Pastor Stephen DeMik • Mark 1:1–28, Philippians 4:19

Dear God | Help Me Respond to You [Spiritual Capital] [Mark 1:14-15] Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Spiritual Capital is a way of talking about the depth of our relationship with God as a disciple of Jesus. Which results in a kind of spiritual equity that we can invest in others. The currency of spiritual capital is wisdom and power that comes from hearing what God is saying and responding with faith and obedience.
