Beyond the Building

This week at Compass Worship we continued our series on generosity called Everything & More. We are focused on 2 Corinthians 8 & 9 and looking at how we build our faith by understanding and practicing generosity in our lives. This week we look specifically at the call to "excel in the ministry of giving." Paul encouraged the church in Corinth to close the gap between intentions and actions and to finish their commitment to give. We also discussed how giving is what we do, generous is who we are. While focusing on 2 Corinthians 8:10-12 we saw 3 attributes of generous people; give willingly, proportionately, and sacrificially. If we want to be generous people we need to plan and practice generosity in every aspect of our lives. Listen in as Ian, Amber, Rikah, and Devin share their takeaways from this week's teaching.

This week at Compass Worship we began a new series on generosity called Everything & More. We are focused on 2 Corinthians 8 & 9 and looking at how we build our faith by understanding and practicing generosity in our lives. This we we look specifically at the Macedonian churches that even though the had incredible poverty and suffering they were incredibly generous. They had a mindset of abundance that understood all that they did have came from God and so they honored Him first and "urgently pleaded" with Paul to give and be a part of the advancement of the gospel. Listen in as Jeff, Leah, Kayce and Casey share their takeaways from this week's teaching.

This week at Compass Worship we concluded our "Strange Stories" series by looking at Judges 3. We saw that even when we are faithless God is faithful. We looked at the cycle of the Israelites; Rebel against God, be oppressed, cry out to God, God provides a Judge, live in peace and then repeat. God heard their cries time and time again and He hears us when we cry out to him as well. We also saw that God can and desires to use anyone to bring Him glory. We looked at Ehud who was from a small and morally bankrupt tribe and who was left-handed (not that there is anything wrong with that today) man to be the deliverer of His people. Listen in as Ian and his crew share their takeaways from this weeks teaching.

This week at Compass Worship we continued our "Strange Stories" series by looking at Matthew 17. Through this "fish story" Matthew pointed us to the divinity of Jesus. Jesus, being the Son of God was exempt from paying the Temple Tax however, in order to remain on mission for His Father Jesus not only paid his tax but Peter's also. This was a beautiful picture of Jesus paying our tax, our debt even though he didn't need to. Jesus lived a sinless life yet chose to take on our sin and our debt so that we could be called sons and daughters of the King. He paid a debt He didn't owe out of the depth of His love for us.

This week at Compass Worship we started a new series looking at some of the "strange" stories or events from scripture and what we can learn from them. We were in Numbers 21 this week looking to God's remedy for the Israelites complaining and impatience. We saw that in God's creativity He provided a remedy in which if the people wanted healed from the snake bite they would have to trust in God's remedy and turn their eyes on the very thing that is causing their pain so they could be find healing and life. Jesus referenced this "strange" event in John 3 as He described to Nicodemous what was going to happen very soon. Jesus was going to be lifted high on a cross bearing the sins of the world once and for all, and all who look to His life, death, burial and resurrection will find life and life to the fullest.

This week at Compass Worship we had a guest speaker, Jeremy Glasford teach us about forgiveness. He reminded us of the parable that Jesus taught in Matthew 18. Through this parable we saw that we all have a debt that can never be repaid BUT that we also have a God who is gracious and forgiving and willing to forgive and restore our lives through the life, death, burial and resurrection of His one and only Son, Jesus Christ.

This week at Compass Worship we conclude our journey through the book of Jonah. In Jonah 4 we are going to see that what God cares about above all else is people. Not perfect people, but all people. He is a gracious and compassionate God who slow in anger and abounding in love. Jonah had just been a part of a nations revival and yet he is angry and upset because God relented and the people he despised were saved. Jonah was more focused on his comfort, his desire, his perceived way things should happen that his heart was turned from God's heart. We are reminded throughout Jonah's life that even when our attitudes and emotions are changing about God, God's character never changes. God never stops seeking to turn and save all mankind.

This week at Compass Worship we continued our journey through the book of Jonah. In Jonah 3 we are reminded that we serve a God of second chance, and with every second chance we have a choice. Jonah choose to listen and obey God by going to Ninevah proclaiming God's message. The Ninevities when they heard God's message through Jonah, choose to repent and turn away from their evil and wicked ways. We also have a choice to make every time God speaks to us whether through His Word, His people, His creation, His Holy Spirit, we can choose to obey, or continue in the direction away from Him. God in His ultimate goodness and graciousness desires all will choice to turn toward Him and repent. We saw through Jonah 3 that when we repent God relents.

This week at Compass Worship we continued our journey through the book of Jonah. In Jonah 2 and we see God providing for Jonah. Jonah praying out of helplessness, not hopelessness. Jonah, even before a miracle praising God as the only one who could save him. Then we saw God in His perfect timing saving Jonah onto dry land. There may be times in our lives that God's provision seems more like a problem, but if in our mess we will continue to pray and praise God, His timing is perfect and His salvation is real.

This week at Compass Worship we began a new series journeying us through the book of Jonah. From the first chapter we find a tension that is real in our lives just like it was Jonah's. God speaks but we don't want to do what He is calling us to do. Just like God spoke to Jonah and asked him to go to Ninevah to preach truth and repentance but Jonah choose to run the other direction from God's word. We often do the same thing. We have a God that still speaks to us through His word, His people, His Creation, the Holy Spirit, etc... but often when we hear it, read it, feel it we don't want to do what He is asking which leads to us running from God's desire for our lives.
