Share The Message

July 28, 2024 • Marcus Stenson • Luke 9:1–6

The ultimate goal of the Christian is to grow into the image of Jesus. In this final message in our "SKILLS of Jesus" series we focus on the final skill: "Share The Message". So often we are anxious and fearful about sharing the message because we feel inadequate and we're not sure how people will react. But what if sharing the message isn't about having a perfect script, but about living a life that show others Christ in us, and naturally provokes questions and opportunities to share the hope that is in us? What if we need only be ready and fully available to share how His story became our story?

Live In Community

July 21, 2024 • Marcus Stenson • John 15:9–12, Acts 2:41–45

As our cultural ability to form real connection has crumbled, "community" has become a word we hear thrown around often. But what if it's not just a buzzword? What it real relationship, connection, and community have been part of God's design from the beginning? And what if the loneliness that has become so pervasive in our time isn't sign that something is wrong it with us - but instead a reminder that we are made in the image of a relational, loving, God? Jesus lived in community with intention, so as disciples practicing the SKILL of "Living In Community" is fundamental to our growth and mission.

Lift Your Heart

July 7, 2024 • Marcus Stenson • Mark 1:32–35, Psalm 88

Continuing our study of the SKILLS of Jesus, we explore the importance of prayer in the life of a disciple through the concept of "lifting your heart" to God. Prayer is not just a mechanical act but a deep, trusting relationship with God. Jesus modeled this through His own life, often retreating to desolate places to pray and lift His heart to the Father. Marcus unpacks the four key areas where Jesus lifted His heart: His plans, His pains, His people, and God's promises. By following Jesus' lead, we can grow how He grew spiritually, and align ourselves more closely with God's mission for us.
