We invited Pastor Dan Reneau to guest speak at our annual Fall Retreat. His

series of messages challenged us to assess our life and consider what it is

that we want to pursue.

Ezekiel 14

The first in a series of new messages, Ezekiel 14 describes what it means

to be a righteous remnant, the holdouts in a generation that despises God

and his Word. The passage points us to three worthy examples who teach us

how to shine brighter as the world grows darker.

Ezekiel 2:6

A sermon over Ezekiel 2 where God commands him to be His messenger to a

rebellious people. Ezekiel is told not to be concerned with their reactions

when he delivers this message. We learn the details of what it means to be

a fearless messenger.

Acts 17:18-34

In Acts 17 Paul has discovered the utter lostness of the city of Athens, a

city wholly given to idolatry. Paul does the only thing he knows to do when

he makes such a discovery - preach. This week in our study we will consider

what it looks like to preach to the city that we minister to. We will learn

how Paul adapts to his changing audiences, how he doesn’t compromise his

message for the sake of relevancy and how he makes the terms of the gospel

very clear.

Deuteronomy 3

Through this intermission of Acts 17, God gave me this passage to

reenvision me for the battle at hand. To turn the world upside down, we

must know our identity, and we must acknowledge the battle at hand.

Acts 17:13-17

In Acts 17 Paul is whisked away from Berea to Athens where he waits for the

rest of his friends to join him. Here Paul has a chance to see one of the

most wondrous cities in the world - a cultural, religious and academic

epicenter. But as Paul sits and takes in this great city, he isn’t filled

with wonder but concern for their lostness and idolatry. Are you stirred

for your city? What does your conviction compel you to do?

Acts 17:10-12

In our story, Paul and the missions team journey to Berea, a town just west

of Thessalonica. Here they meet a group of Bereans who listen to their

gospel message but rather than accepting it outright, take the time to

study God’s word to discern whether or not the message was true. The

Berean’s are an example to us of how to become discerning in a world of

mis-information and lies.

Numbers 11

God will give you the desire of your heart. This is the key concept in

todays message, and the reality is that it is a very scary concept. What

happens when the desire of our heart is not in line with what God

desires? From Numbers 11 we will see God giving his people the desire of

their heart, even though it is not what God wanted for them, and the

consequence that comes with it.
