Embody: Evangelism
April 7, 2019 • Carl Moore
Carl Moore finishes our Embody series on spiritual gifts with the gift of evangelism. Evangelism is defined as sharing good news. As humans, we do that naturally. The gospels are riddled with stories of Jesus doing miraculous things to and for people, telling them to tell no one, and they simply can't help it. Carl encourages all of us to share our stories, for God is in all of them.
Embody: Healing
March 31, 2019 • Austin Agnew
Austin Agnew continues our Embody series on spiritual gifts talking about miracles, healing and speaking in tongues. These gifts are unique in the way they all involve God’s intervention over the natural order of physical things, which is probably why we are usually uncomfortable with them. Austin tries to shed some light on the gifts, in hopes that we could maybe better understand and embrace these special gifts.
Embody: Leadership
March 17, 2019 • Dave Kuhnert
Dave Kuhnert continues our sermon series about spiritual gifts with leadership. Dave starts off by asking a common question, "Can anyone/everyone lead?" He then follows up with a less common question, "Does the answer really matter?" Regardless of the answers, Dave goes on to implore and encourage everyone to live in such a way that they can say "do as I do" instead of "do as I say."
Embody: Hospitality
March 3, 2019 • Randy Sims
Randy Sims continues our Embody series with the gift (and commandment) of hospitality. Randy talks about how hospitality is different from having our friends over for dinner. Hospitality is loving a stranger. A stranger is any and every sense of the word: someone we just met/don't know and/or someone who is unlike us. Is there any greater challenge?
Embody: Serving
February 24, 2019 • Steve Young
Steve Young continues our Embody series by talking about the gift of serving. How can we think (or not think?) about serving differently? What would change if we thought of ourselves as slaves, rather than servants? Not your typical "Do more better" sermon.
Embody: Prayer
February 17, 2019 • Andrew Adams
Embody is an 8 week sermon series during which 8 men will talk about 8 spiritual gifts and hope to inspire by impressing the importance of embracing (or embodying, hehe? get it?) their spiritual gift. Andrew Adams kicks things off with Prayer, which he says marks the beginning of all great spiritual ventures, so it's only fitting it should be the first gift talked about. Andrew talks about prayer as both: an incredible gift, and a demanding discipline. He talks about how prayer is culturally global, and how Christian prayer is different. He dives quickly but deeply into the Lord's Prayer. He tops it all off with all the various prayer ministries at MBC.
