FAITH Worship (1/28/24): "The Mission" (Series: Beauty Not Duty)
January 28, 2024 • Pastor Tim Byer
We have confused religion and the Gospel. Religion seeks to coerce people to behave differently. The Gospel seeks to persuade people to receive a total heart transplant. There is a very big difference. One is a drudge and a duty. The other is a blessing and a beauty.
FAITH Worship (1/21/24): "The Gathering" (Series: Beauty Not Duty)
January 21, 2024 • Pastor Tim Byer • Psalm 29
We have lost the "why" reasons behind our gathering as a church. Coming together is not a "have to", but a "get to". There is one catch: Instead of looking for beauty in the church gathering, we are more accurately called to display beauty. Sundays are often called "service", but we serve the Jesus who did not come to be served, but to serve. The same applies to us.
FAITH Worship (1/14/24): "The Community" (Series: Beauty Not Duty)
January 14, 2024 • Pastor Tim Byer • 1 Corinthians 1:18–25
The body of Christ must act like the body of Christ: CRUCIFIED. To live a crucified life is a massive distraction from the expectations of all cultures on the face of the earth ... but it is infinitely more beautiful.
FAITH Worship (1/7/24): "The Way" (Series: Beauty Not Duty)
January 7, 2024 • Pastor Tim Byer • Philippians 3
We live in the first generation in the modern era that is dissatisfied with the "Because I said so" answer to the question, "Why?". That is not necessarily a bad thing. The gospel is not news that requires duty and obligation. It is an invite into the infinite beauty of the Christ.
