Sojourners: Part 1

April 11, 2021 • Chris Heller

What is a sojourner? Webster’s definition is “one who takes up temporary residence in a place.” In this series, we will deepen our understanding of what it truly means to be a sojourner here on earth. In part 1, we l look at three key characteristics from the life of Paul to inspire us to remember we are simply “passing through."

To Sojourn Is To Suffer

April 18, 2021 • Jon Adams

We learn from the life of the apostle Paul that a sojourner's journey will be filled with wounds and scars. How does a sojourner respond to suffering and persecution, especially when it comes from believers?

Crossroads

April 25, 2021 • Jon Adams

What can we learn about the life of a Sojourner? We get a picture of what its like to live a life called to God. When you live a life of serving God, you will come to a crossroads. One path would be easy, comfortable, full of self reward. The other path is more complicated. It’s sacrifice, being uncomfortable, a step of faith but in the end a life of serving God is the most rewarding. Let us not say no and turn down opportunities due to fear but instead say yes in faith.

Passing Through Conflict

May 2, 2021 • Chris Heller

We live in a time period weighed down by conflict. Voices of anger, frustration, annoyance, disrespect and judgment are reigning down all around us. Petitioning voices yell “choose this side,” “follow this opinion,” “stand your ground,” “don’t listen to that,” leaving behind the shrapnel of tension-filled homes, divided family members, confused children, discouraged leaders, and boiling division. How do we live like Christ in this season of life? How can we represent him during this sojourn through conflict? What message would we deliver? This is the challenge facing our Sojourners as we begin the second missionary journey. So be sure, we will leave with some tools to handle conflict like Christ. Acts 15
