Responsibility is made up of five characteristics:
honesty,
compassion or respect,
fairness, accountability, and
courage.

Being responsible means making the right choices, it means identifying and accepting the consequences… good or bad… of the decisions you make. Ultimately, it means considering how your actions will affect people and situations around you.

Our responsibility to our faith means, believing and caring for those around us. It's not just about absorbing the grace given to us, but also how we're showing grace and leading through example to others.

To walk as Jesus walked means to go into the margins of our society where the poor, the brokenhearted, the foreigner, the sick are cast out and overlooked. 

Jesus spent his ministry reaching out and being with those who no one else wanted to acknowledge. Jesus saw each and every person as a bearer of His father's image. A precious child whom God dearly loves.

If we are to change the world, we must learn to love others as Jesus did. WIth compassion & mercy. And we are to care for their needs - this is justice. To feed the hungry, to give water to the thirsty, to cloth the poor, to free the prisoner. And we know we can do this, because Jesus says to call on him for strength. 

Today's message is about justice, mercy and movement.

The final week in our series and we're going to discuss some remaining questions we received. 

Can we question God?
Does God want me to be happy?
If money is the root of all evil - why does the Church talk about it so much?
Why should I find a significant other in church?
How can I pray for my kids?

Loads of great questions - and as we continue on in life and in our faith, be assured the questions will continue to flood in. 

Our journey of faith is just that - it's a journey. The longer we go the more we'll learn, and the more we learn about the heart of God the more we become the children He created us to be. 

So even though we're ending our series, do not stop asking us questions. And in turn we will never stop asking questions too and leaning into what God is teaching us  in

This week's question: Do we have freewill or are we predestined?

"God’s sovereignty and Man freedom to choose is a mystery and very possible unexplainable mystery, but that does not mean that we should not pursue understanding… because what we believe about salvation, grace and free will directly impacts how we continue to live in obedience to God, and how we carry out the Great Commission of spreading the Gospel to all nations."

Listen as Pastor Ron continues on in his own process of understanding God's sovereignty and man's freedom of life.

This week's question: Why do bad things happen to good people? What defines a good person? Why doesn't God stop evil people?

Today, we invited a few fathers to dialog and share their ideas, experiences, and questions as well. 

Ultimately, what we can know for sure, is that God calls us all into His goodness. He calls us to love, show mercy, be humble, and be joyful. But in that journey - to pursue that path - we do also know it isn't always the easiest or more enjoyable route for anyone to take. 

As fathers who have dedicated their lives to raising up future generations - how do we set an example and nurture not only our children, but our entire families?

The next few weeks we're going to ask hard questions, and look at scripture for answers. But also scripture paired with history for context, because context is key. And the questions of our faith often come from not fully understanding what scripture is speaking about.

So what about hell? Is it true - and who ends up there? Would a loving God really send his beloved children to an eternal furnace? 


The question that kicked off this series is: 
Why is hell the least taught topic in churches? 
Why don’t the spiritual leaders of our communities teach on the forces of evil? 
Why are church leaders afraid to teach the truths of hell and those deemed evil?

This week's question: CAN A PERSON BE IN CHURCH AND STILL DO DRUGS? 

There are several questions here we need to address...

Is a person welcome into the family God while they struggle with addictions, depression, identity, or whatever else? OF COURSE.

Is Jesus OK with us continuing on with our destructive behaviors while we follow him?  This is where we look to scripture, to the story of Zacchaeus and his interactions with Jesus.

Who, or what, is on the seat of the throne of your life?

It seems generation after generation, our ideas of happiness, sexual openness, and "freedom" keep pushing the boundaries of the previous generations before us. 

As we listen to the words of Jude, the author is pleading with a culture that is disconnected between the body and spirit. At this time, there was a belief that what you did with your body had no ramifications for your spirit. You could follow Jesus AND have the sexual freedom you desired.

Media in general teaches us that our sexuality is the deepest and truest thing about us… it is A Lord if not THE Lord, and if it addresses Jesus at all, it tries to redefine the boundaries so that Jesus can be Lord over a part of our lives… that “soul” part, but it gets to be Lord of the other mental/emotional/physical parts. 

The problem is, Jesus’ words are clear that our mind, body, and soul… our head, our hearts, and our hands… are all integrated and interdependent as one being.

Will we be influenced by the loudness of society or the love and truth of the Lord? 

It is hard to decipher the pure intentions of those with the loudest voices in our lives. With so many messages hitting us from all sides it can be hard to avoid getting caught up in what the world defines as truth, and what God's Word tells us is truth.

The Word tells us that we know other believes by their actions - how are we living out truth and love that reflects the heart of God? 

Pastor Chaundra leads us this Mother's Day in a message about wisdom. Asking God to gives us the wisdom to know how to navigate the voices around us, and how to help others navigate these voices too. 

When we stand firm in the truth of God‘s word, and we show love to others we create unity. And when we turn away, or we help others turn away, from our deceitful nature and we walk in love, God rejoices

Influencers?

This is what we have titled content creators on our social media platforms. Influencers - people we look to for style advice, lifestyle advice, business advice, even spiritual advice. 

But this isn't new - influencers have always had a place in our lives even if the title wasn't given before. We are constantly influenced by the voices and messages surrounding us. 

Even in scripture there is a warning against "influencers" those who may not be walking in alignment with Jesus, and could easily lead us astray too. But we also have influencers, characters, back then who were walking with Jesus.  

In our lives, we must be steady ourselves on the Word of God and in our relationship with Him. We must recognize how many voices we're allowing to speak into our hearts 

11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.”
