PROXIMITY

The Purpose of Proximity

May 24, 2020 • Nirup Alphonse

Who am I? Why am I here? What does this all mean? Where am I going? These are the four central questions of life that have been asked for centuries. They hold within them the quest for meaning, morality, purpose, pleasure, desire, understanding and destiny. To these questions Jesus enters the human story not simply to answer but to become the answer. The Purpose Of Proximity Is To Bring You Into The Presence Of God Huge thanks to our friends, Passion City Church, for allowing us to use their footage of Ravi Zacharias preaching at their conference.

The Goodness of Proximity

One of the most profound statements Jesus makes is when he says, "I am the good shepherd." This is not simply a remark that Jesus makes off the cuff. Rather, it is a powerful invitation into the protection and provision of God's promise.

The Peace of Proximity

When Jesus says that words, "I Am" He, in no uncertain terms is declaring that He is in fact, God. However, He is not a distant God. Rather, He brings to us the proximity of God Himself. In John 10 Jesus says that He is the "door." In this message, we learn the truth of what that means and by living in who Jesus is we can experience the peace that Jesus offers us in this life.

The world we live in is dark. This is not meant to be a challenging concept to wrap our minds around. Yet, we often fail to embrace a truer reality: Christ is the light of the world. This week we dive into Scripture’s witness of God breaking into the darkness through Christ, our true light. Watch as Pastor Trevor shares a powerful message on Jesus being the light of the world.

The Assurance of Proximity

April 12, 2020 • Nirup Alphonse

The Good News of the Gospel is not that Jesus came to make bad people good but to make dead people alive. God loves you. Because He loves you He sent His Son Jesus to invite you into life with him. Jesus Christ is the Son of God who lived a perfect life and died on the cross for your sins. He was buried in a tomb but three days later He walked out defeating sin and death. In His resurrection, He offers you a new life in God. This decision to believe is not simply to acknowledge it but to begin the journey of walking with Jesus every day. It is an invitation to surrender your life to Him. Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead and through Him, you can have life? Do you believe He is calling you to walk with Him?

The Promise of Proximity

Isn't it odd that the first "I am" statement that Jesus makes is comparing himself to bread? But it is a very strategic comparison. Bread is universal, it is symbolic, it is something that everyone understands culturally, gluten or not. It is something everyone has in their homes, something that is close, somethings that we depend on. Jesus is the same way. He is close, he is familiar, he is known.
