Beyond the Building

This we looked at James 1:1-4 and Romans 5:3-5 and saw that the difficulties that we are going through now, or that we will go through are developing something that nothing else can develop. We saw that when we frame our struggles through lens of knowing who God is and what God is capable of we can face them with a joy and a hope that is rooted not in an outcome but in the truth of the power and ability of our God to use them for His glory and our good. Suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces proven character and character produce a hope in Christ that will never disappoint. Listen in as Bri, Ian, Hannah, Tianna and Victoria share their takeaways from this week's teaching.

We are in week 6 of our Rivals series at Compass Worship. We are looking at some of the rivalries in God's Word and how we can keep from repeating history and see some amazing characteristics of our God. This week we looked at the rivalry between our expectations vs. God's plan. We looked at Matthew 21 and saw that on Palm Sunday the people expected their Messiah to be different than He truly was. They wanted a worldly figure to deliver them from worldly oppressions but Jesus, the King of kings had his face set on delivering all people for all time from the penalty of sin. Jesus came to rescue us from so much more than our temporary struggles, He came to set us spiritually free forever. So when our expectations of what Jesus is doing are only focused on the here and now we are missing the true reason that God sent Jesus into the world in the first place - to save souls. Listen in as Ian, Jeff, Paige, and Makaela share their takeaways from this week's teaching.

We are in week 5 of our Rivals series at Compass Worship. We are looking at some of the rivalries in God's Word and how we can keep from repeating history and see some amazing characteristics of our God. This week we looked at the rivalry between Peter & John vs. the Sanhedrin (Acts 4). Through this rivalry we see that a courageous faith:

• speaks and lives out truth even when it’s unpopular, intimidating, risky and may cost you everything.
• is unashamed in proclaiming that Jesus is the only way to salvation – but does so with love and clarity.
• allows God to equip us through His Word and the Holy Spirit. God equips ordinary people to do extraordinary things when they rely on Him.

We are in week 4 of our Rivals series at Compass Worship. We are looking at some of the rivalries in God's Word and how we can keep from repeating history and see some amazing characteristics of our God. This week we looked at the rivalry between Jesus and the Pharisees. Courtney showed us that everything that Jesus did, even in his rivalry with the Pharisees was done with compassion. He lived in such a way that we can see in every word, deed spoken that He is a compassionate God. Because of His great compassion we can (and should) rest more often in the depth of His compassion for us. Listen in as Ian, Adam, Sol and Braylee share their takeaways from this week's teaching.

We are in week 3 of our Rivals series at Compass Worship. We are looking at some of the rivalries in God's Word and how we can keep from repeating history and see some amazing characteristics of our God. This week we looked at the rivalry between the Jews and the Gentiles. What we saw from Acts 10 & 11 was that God erased every boundary that once existed so that ALL people could have access to Him through the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We were challenged to understand that when we judge others we are; shrinking God's Kingdom, re-drawing boundaries that God erased and living self-righteously thinking the Kingdom is just for us. Listen in as Ian, Chloe, Grant and Bri, share their takeaways from this week's teaching.

We are in week 2 of our Rivals series at Compass Worship. We are looking at some of the rivalries in God's Word and how we can keep from repeating history and see some amazing characteristics of our God. This week we looked at King Saul vs. David (specifically in 1 Samuel 24 & 26). Through this almost one sided rivalry we learned how to truly love our enemies (Matthew 5:43-44). While David had only supported and helped King Saul to find success as king, Saul saw David's rise in popularity as a threat. This perceived threat led to jealous, bitterness and paranoia and a pursuit to end David's life. David however, two different times had a chance to end the rivalry by taking the life of his "enemy." Instead of desiring revenge David chose humility over hostility and chose to trust God with the ultimate outcome. That is loving your enemy! That is the gospel! That God valued us "while we were sinners" and sent His Son to die for us even though we didn't deserve it, even though our sin made us His enemy. Choosing to value all people because all people are valuable to God and trusting that God is the ultimate judge of all hearts and that He is a just God allows us to pursue Jesus command for us to Love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Listen in as Ian, Ava, Dmitri, and Aidan share their takeaways from this week's teaching.

This week at Compass Worship we started a new series called Rivals. We are going to be looking at some of the rivalries in God's Word and how we can keep from repeating history and see some amazing characteristics of our God. This week we looked at Cain vs. Able. Though it was a short lived rivalry it showed us how comparison can lead to hurt, hurt to jealousy, jealousy to anger and anger well in this case to murder. We learned that in order to keep sin from controlling us we need to Guard your heart from comparison, Take conviction seriously, Deal with emotions early and Never underestimate God’s mercy. We also saw through this rivalry that while God is a just God, He is also a merciful God who warns us before sin, confronts after sin, continues to show us grace and mercy despite our sin and that He is always pursuing you desiring to provide and protect you through the life, death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Listen in as Bri, Alice, Ellie, Kari, and Jeff share their takeaways from this week's teaching.

This week at Compass Worship we finished up our "Just Tell Me Already" series. We focused on the principle of if we are pursuing His person, then we should wisely pursue our passions. We then looked at four ways God has given us to wisely pursue our passions; running everything through the filter of His Word, leaning into the presence of His Spirit, having a counsel of close spiritual companions and through the merging of multiple moments of our lives. If we will do that God will shape us into the right people, in the right places at the right time for His right purposes. Listen in as Ian, Owen, Jeb, Jocelyn, Carter and Brayson share their takeaways from this week's teaching.

This morning at Compass Worship we leaned into the idea that waiting on the Lord is expected, expectant, and intentional. We were able to worship, and learn this morning from the Word and an expended time of lifting our voices and hearts to the Lord as we surrendered and invited Him to move in our lives. Listen in as some of this week's worship team; Bri, Ani, Owen, Kari, Braylon join Ian to share their takeaways from this week.

This week at Compass Worship we were in week 3 of our "Just Tell Me Already" series. We focused in on the life of Jospeh and learned some important truths about God's will for our lives. WE saw that God is more concerned about who we are than He is where we go or what we do. He desires to shape us into being the right person in the right place at the right time for His right purposes. He also learned that God is always at work in our lives even in the dark. When we are feeling alone, betrayed, forgotten, our inexhaustible God is always working His plan out for the good of those who love Him. Listen in as Ian, Guy, will and Adam share their takeaways from week 2.
