This morning we look at the heart of the Great Shepherd for the sheep. We will see that God loves the humble and asks us to love them too rather than despise or look down on them. But how can we have that same heart? Let’s find out by looking at the HEART, the, the HUMILITY, and the HELP.

This morning we look at the most important PRINCIPLE of the Kingdom, and the POWER of the Kingdom, so that we can examine whether we have a kingdom heart. This well known parable of the soils is challenging to each and every one of us. Let’s listen up!

Once you own your own part in a conflict, how do we go about speaking the truth in love? This Sunday we are going to define CANDOR and learn how to pursue it when conflict still remains. Let’s look at three truths about CANDOR and shine a light on conflict resolution.

The first step in reconciling any conflict is to own your own part. We do this as Romans says, as far as it depends on you, by examining our own part in the conflict and seeking forgiveness for our contribution through REAL confession. But why are so prone to point out the other person’s faults? We need a Gospel centered response that overcomes fear and shame. Let’s look at three truths together.

After laying the theological foundation for dealing with conflict in our identity in Christ, and the Triune Oneness of God, this week we want to look more closely at the 5 virtues from Ephesians 4:1-6. These virtues are grounded in the Gospel and will help us to see conflict first as an opportunity to glorify God, and second an opportunity for the Gospel to do its work. Let’s look at 5 virtues together.

In this opening message, we lay a theological foundation for the journey ahead by asking: What is conflict, how do we typically respond to it, and how does God call us to address it? We’ll weave together three strands of biblical truth: our identity in Christ as one body, the Spirit‑formed virtues of humility, gentleness and patience, and the triune God who embodies perfect unity. Let’s pursue peace together.

We all love a good ending and sometimes they leave us wanting more. Today we look at the end of the story of Acts to see how Paul finished his recorded ministry and how Luke opened the door to let us know the story is just beginning. We are in the beginning of the end of the beginning.
