Stagione 2
For Vintage Christmas, Pastor Sarah Huff takes us back to the question: "What would Jesus do?" The Christmas season is the perfect time to ask ourselves this question. Pastor Sarah reminds us that the answer is always LOVE PEOPLE, even when we don't feel like it.
There's a tendency to be discouraged when we see Jesus delaying his return: it's something we've been talking about for 2,000 years! Yet the return of Jesus is imminent. Pastor Keith's first message in this series ( Israel & the Last Days) showed that we are indeed living in the Last Days. This second message, the Church & the Last Days, talks about how we can be ready for the return of Jesus.
Pastor Keith opens this two-part series with the Biblical background on the conflict in Israel, reminding us that whatever takes place in the physical realm has its origin in the spiritual realm. Israel has a special role in the redemptive plans of God, and to stand with Israel is to stand with God.
Pastor Rob Rainville continues the Troublemaker series reminding us of how Jesus commands us to give up the plans we have, the people we love, and the possessions we cherish...and come, follow Him. Sounds like too much, right? Pastor Rob explains that then we may "have nothing, but we possess everything", just like the apostle Paul. Fall in love with Jesus, face your fears, and abide in Him- the cost of being a troublemaker for Jesus is more than worth it!
To contend for the faith we don't have to be contentious, but when we follow Jesus we often have to pay the price of not being liked. Pastor Keith continues the Troublemakers series reminding us that the mark of a troublemaker for Jesus is manifested in an obedient life.
Troublemakers start movements of counter-culture that upset the world. Pastor Pete Duncanson continues the Troublemakers series reminding us that troublemakers follow Christ while spreading the good word about Him! Jesus did it with His ministry, Daniel with his mentality, and Paul and Silas with their methods.
In The Mindset of a Troublemaker, Pastor Keith draws comparisons between the book of Daniel and our culture today. Daniel was a troublemaker- but he wasn't obnoxious. He remained faithful to God by being bold and taking a stand.
Pastor Keith starts his series "Troublemakers" by explaining it's okay to be a troublemaker! Being faithful to Jesus means that we are actually called to take on the ministry of being a troublemaker for Jesus. Today's troublemakers are tomorrow's heroes.
Real change is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is in us to transform us, He is with us to resource us and is working through us to use us. In this final message in the "Keep the Change" series, Pastor Keith explains that real change is possible and starts with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
To pursue change, you have to unpack your purpose. What is it that makes you mad? makes you cry? God created you to solve a problem, and your purpose is always connected somehow to serving Jesus. Pastor Keith reminds us that our purpose is the reason we exist, and finding it will fill our lives with significance.
