This past Sunday, Britton continued our "Rise Up and Build" series in chapters 2-3 of Nehemiah, reminding us that God has strategically placed each of us here for a purpose. We learned that prayer is not passive—it is active warfare, declaring our dependence on the only One strong enough to move mountains.

This week we began a new sermon series going through the book of Nehemiah called Rise up and Build. Brady walked us through Nehemiah 1, where we saw that prayer is the work. Apart from God we can do nothing, so rising up and building means leaning on God. At Oaks, we build the Kingdom of God by trusting Him and walking forward in faithful obedience.

This Sunday we looked at a core heartbeat of Oaks- Gospel Multiplication. We, as a church, carry a burden to multiply on every level. This means in tribes, in huddles, and even in churches Gospel Mulitplication is an expectation. The way Multiplication happens is by faithfully abiding in the Lord while seeking to make disciples. Church at the Oaks exists to send disciplemakers of Jesus simply by being disciplemakers of Jesus.

This week was Oaks 4th Birthday!! The birthday gives us a reminder of the miraculous things God has done in and through Oaks. We are reminded the importance of remembering and celebration. By celebrating and remembering the great things he is using us to do we give greater glory to him and abide even more deeply in him. Oaks exists to send disciplemakers of Jesus by being disciplemakers of Jesus.

Legacy is built on generosity. Britton proposed that the question for giving is not "How much do I give" rather it is "How much do I keep." Radical generosity with faith that the Lord will provide leads to radical kingdom impact as we have seen countless times in the word. At Oaks, we are radically generous because we want to send disciplemakers of Jesus by being disciplemakers of Jesus.

This week Britton walks us through a few passages centered around community. As a church we seek to leave a lasting legacy. The way that Oaks does this is through biblical purposeful community. We are not called to build castles in the Kingdom of God, but simply to be a labourer within the kingdom. To build the kingdom we send disciplemakers of Jesus simply by being disciplemakers of Jesus.

This week Britton kicked off a new series at Oaks called Leaving Legacy. He looked at the Kingdom legacy that Paul left in Asia Minor through evangelism and disciple-making and explored the world-changing impact that simple faithfulness can have, both for Paul and for us today.

An evident dependency on Christ.

An evident purpose to multiply.

This mission requires multiplication.
