Scripture: Jeremiah 29:4-14

Speaker: Mike Mileski

Series: Be the Church

A third difference between going to church and BEING the church is about how we think about sharing Jesus with others: What we say about Jesus matters, and HOW we say it REALLY matters.

In this message, we learned that the Church is sent - by Jesus, to embody the Good News in our communities, schools, workplaces, and churches - as ambassadors of Christ.

Scripture: Acts 2:42-47

Speaker: Mike Mileski

Series: Be the Church

Another difference between those who merely GO to church and those who are BEING the church is how we treat each other in community. We will ALL find our way into communities of various kinds.

In this messages we learned what kind of community we're made for, and are challenged to find it - and commit.

Scripture: Mark 9:1-8

Speaker: Mike Mileski

Series: Be the Church

The difference between GOING to church and BEING the church can be seen in how we do discipleship differently: It's not about believing a bunch of true things ABOUT Jesus, but becoming like Him.

In this message we shared how we as a church understand discipleship, using the three Orthos: Orthodoxy (right belief), Orthopathy (right attitudes), and Orthopraxy (right actions).

Scripture: Matt 22:15-22

Speaker: Hobbe Smit

Series: Money Talks

When the Lord was being challenged about whether it's right to pay taxes to Caesar or not, He used it as an opportunity to teach us about the value of a person, compared to the value of a coin. In this message, our friend and neighbour Hobbe Smit shares that God's image is stamped on us and asks: what difference does that make?

Scripture: John 6:1-15

Speaker: Bill Allan

Series: Money Talks

Just before the miracle of the loaves and fishes, Jesus' disciples couldn't imagine HOW they'd be able to look after all these people. Their perspective was limited by sight, not by faith. In this message, our friend and AGC President Bill Allan shows us that Jesus can be trusted to meet our needs - big ones and small ones.

Scripture: Acts 5:1-11

Speaker: Derek Hisson

Series: Money Talks

The story of Ananias and Sapphira is an ancient horror story of greed, deception, and pride. How much does God love us? How much does God care about the Church and its mission? This tale gives us the answer.

Scripture: Luke 12:16-34

Speaker: Mike Lewis

Series: Money Talks

How we relate to money can show where we've put our trust, but more often, it shows where our trust is NOT. We fear to lose, we fear to go without. As God's people we think we trust God to provide, so why are we just as anxious as anyone else?

Scripture: Proverbs 30:7-9

Speaker: John Garner

Series: Money Talks

One of the reasons we're more often managed by our money than managers of our money is because we fail to see it as a tool entrusted to us by God. In this message, our friend John Garner teaches through the ancient, gutsy, counter-cultural prayer from Proverbs 30:

"Give me neither poverty or wealth"

Scripture: Matthew 19:16-24

Speaker: Rony Mikhael

Series: Money Talks

The Rich Young Ruler rejected Jesus' invitation because he couldn't imagine allowing anything to supplant his wealth as his true god. In this message, Rony asks us whether wealth has the same power over us.

Scripture: Luke 12:22-31

Speaker: Thomas + Miriam Vanderkruk

Series: Money Talks

Jesus has more to say about money than almost any other subject - so you'd think we'd trust that He knows what He's talking about. This week's message is a conversation with Tom + Miriam - newlyweds learning to trust God to provide.
