Beyond the Building

This week Ian, Jeff, Courtney and Emerson share their thoughts from this week's teaching. There are so many phrases, ideas or beliefs in our culture today that we need to be sure we are aligning our lives with The Truth and not our truth. We focused this week on two truths about truth; just because you believe something doesn't mean it is truth. Truth is more than just what you believe, truth is a person you follow. When there are areas of our lives that don't line up with the person of Jesus (The Truth) we need to be willing to die to "our truth" to live for The Truth.

This week Ian, Nolan, Owen, Jamie, Sam, Jeb, and Jace discuss their takeaways from Compass Worship. We wrapped up our journey through the first 9 chapters of the book of Acts. In our time in Acts we have seen how God designed the church to be a movement. How the church was never intended to be about a building or one set location rather it was a group of people committed to Loving God, Loving People and proclaiming Jesus as they went. This week we focused our time on Acts 9 and the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, a destroyer, a terrorist of the movement of the Gospel. We see who Saul once was as he walked in the darkness of what he believed to be true and what happens when Jesus lights up his life and redeems him so that he can be used to proclaim the gospel not persecute those who do. Through Saul's life we are reminded not only that we are never to far from God's love and redemption but also the same grace that was sufficient for us is sufficient for all who call on the name of Jesus.

This week Ian, Kayce, Braylee and Jeff discuss their takeaways from Compass Worship. The first seven chapters of Acts we have seen the movement of the gospel move primarily through Jerusalem, now in chapter 8 we see the "church leave the building." We looked at Philip's ministry in Samaria, the joy that the response the gospel can bring to a city. We also looked at the truth that the posture of our heart is more important than the spiritual boxes we check. We closed out our time by looking at the obedience of Philip, and the humble surrender of the Ethiopian eunuch .From all of this we were reminded that we are called to scatter and proclaim the gospel wherever God leads us and we are to have humble surrendered hearts that desire only to build His Kingdom.

This week Lucas, Kaleb, Angie, Alyssa and Amaya discuss their takeaways from Compass Worship. We were back in the book of Acts again looking at the life of Stephen from chapters 6-7. From these chapters we saw that Stephen was a man "full of faith, the Holy Spirit, God's grace and power and that he was committed to the principles of the church to; Love God, Love people and Proclaim Jesus. We were also able to see characteristics of his life that revealed his commitment to moving the gospel forward. We saw he was willing to serve others, even if not the most glamorous job. He stood firm on Truth, unwaivering from it no matter what. He was willing to risk everything to proclaim Christ, and even as he was being falsely accused and ultimately killed, he was offering forgiveness and grace just as he had seen Jesus do on the cross before his last breath.

This week Ian, Jeff, Kate and Madison discuss their takeaways from Compass Worship. We were able to hear from Kate Hornocker this week about how to hear from God and how to live prepared to respond to His voice. Kate is a recent graduate of Grace College and is preparing to go into the mission field in France with Greater Europe Missions (GEM). The call God has on her heart is to move the gospel throughout France by building community in and around college campuses.

This week Ian, Owen, Jeb, Zach and Kaylin discuss their takeaways from Compass Worship. We continued our series on the book of Acts looking at Acts 5:12-42. Through these verses we saw the motivation of the church was to love God, love people and proclaim Jesus. We also were challenge to consider what truly motivates us and what we may need to do to shift our motivations into the proper place.

This week Lucas, Kaleb, Connor and Brayden discuss their takeaways from Compass Worship. We continued our series on the book of Acts looking at Acts 4:32-5:11. We spent our time looking at how the enemy often uses subtle deceptions like doubt, shame, fear and the blame game to lead us to places we never wanted to be. Though that we created a gameplan centered around faith, forgiveness, power of the Holy Spirit, and confession to stop the enemy from advancing in our lives.

This week Lucas, Kaleb, Caedmon, Carter and Diya discuss their takeaways from Compass Worship. We continued our series on the book of Acts looking at Acts 4:1-31 and talking about living in such a way that people know we have been with Jesus and responding to opposition of Truth the same way Peter, John and the other believers did. Asking God to see the opposition, and to empower them (us) to boldly continue to proclaim Truth.
