July 19, 2021 Church Of Small Groups | At The Core, Part 5
At The Core pt 5 - Church of Small Groups

Church is more than an event we attend it’s a community we belong to.
Why Small Groups?
It’s biblical

“The the Lord God said “It is not good that the man should be alone, I will make him a helper fit for him”.
vs. 25 “And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed”.
isolation
“lost in the crowd”

we need help
we need to belong

Acts 2:46
And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,
Temple
Table
It’s beneficial
Eph 2:19-22
“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.”
a place to belong.

“The aim of storage is to give every item a home – a designated spot for it to rest and recharge when not in use. The way you store your items is an expression of gratitude for all the support they provide. Giving them a cozy spot to kick back and relax is the least you can do!”- Marie Kondo

You have the benefit of being a part of the group but you also have the responsibility to care for others in the group.
grow in our faith
“God uses people to form people.” -John Ortberg
Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

If you want forgiveness confess your sins to God but if you want healing you need to confess your sins to one another.

James 5:16
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
It’s practical
Think small

It’s missional

John 13:34-35
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

“Our relationship with each other is the criterion the world uses to judge whether our message is truthful—Christian community is the final apologetic.”-Francis Schaeffer

1. Go care for someone in the church.
2. Position yourself so you’ll be prompted to grow.

John 1:12-13
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

July 11, 2021Found People, Find People | At The Core, Part 4
If the rest of the lost people in the world were dependent on being found based on how your heart, your attitude, and your action in found people finding people, what kind of hope would the lost have?
In "Found People, Find People," Pastor Tim Taylor, Shinglehouse Campus Pastor, covers our fourth Core Value: Found People, Find People. We believe that lost people matter to God, therefore, they should matter to us. Pastor Tim shares three tangible ways how we can reach the lost.

Scripture in this sermon: Luke 19:10, Luke 15:1-2, Luke 19:5-7, Ephesians 2:1, Romans 2:1, Luke 15:32, John 3:16, Acts 9:20
Quotes in this sermon:
“Evangelism is not a professional job for a few trained men but is instead the unrelenting responsibility of every person who belongs to the company of Jesus.” - D. Elton Trueblood

“A come-to-Jesus moment may refer to the moment in which a person has a religious conversion and dedicates his life to Jesus. However, the term has also taken on a more secular meaning. A come-to-Jesus moment may refer to that point in time when someone has a realization, becomes enlightened, understands the core values that must be preserved in a situation. The phrase come-to-Jesus moment is often used when describing the moment when a politician, employee or child understands that he is on the wrong path and must change direction, it is often considered a positive development.” - grammarist.com

“Oh, my brothers and sisters in Christ, if sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies; and if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay, and not madly to destroy themselves. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.” - Charles Spurgeon

May 30, 2021Something Greater Than Jonah - Jonah: Running Like A Rebel, Part 5
Jesus > Jonah. God's pursuit of the Ninevites is proof that His grace extends to you wherever you are!
In "Something Greater Than Jonah," Pastor Jeremy Gorham recaps what we've been studying in the book of Jonah and compares and contrasts Jonah's message and Jesus' message. Pastor Jeremy draws it all back to the bigger picture of the seriousness of sin, imminent judgement, and a gracious God.

Scripture in this sermon: Matthew 12:38-41, Jonah 3:4, Hebrews 9:27, Matthew 16:25-26, Jonah 3:9, John 3:16, Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 5:21, John 3:17, Matthew 12:41, Romans 6:3-4

May 23, 2021Scorching Grace - Jonah: Running Like A Rebel, Part 4
It's possible to be a recipient of God's grace but never a dispenser. And it's possible to do the mission of God, without ever having the heart of God.
In "Scorching Grace," Pastor Jeremy Gorham goes through the 11 most convicting verses in all of scripture: found in Jonah 4. These verses show us that you can have the right head, but the wrong heart. Which begs the question: "how is it that Jonah knows God's Word but is so far from God's heart?" The answer: Jonah's anger was blinding him.

Scripture in this sermon: Jonah 3:10, Jonah 4, Exodus 34:6, Ephesians 4:31, Hebrews 12:6
Quotes in this sermon:
"God hates the sins of his people and uses all kinds of inward and outward pains and griefs to wean their hearts from compromise and disobedience... Still, he seeks the fellowship of his people and sends them both sorrows and joys in order to detach their love from other things and attach it to himself." - J.I. Packer

"First a sinner, second sinned against"

May 16, 2021 The Recipe For Revival - Jonah: Running Like A Rebel, Part 3
God is the God of first chances over and over and over again.
In "Recipe For Revival," Pastor Jeremy shows us how Jonah's message in chapter 3 led an entire nation to Jesus. Jonah's message was simple, to the point, and very strange in circumstances — yet, God moved and changed the hearts of 120,000 people. Jonah's story is one of redemption and it reflects our story; we all have a joppa, a storm, a fish, and a picture of God's mercy and God's judgment.
Scripture in this sermon: Jonah 3:1-10
