    Come and See

     

    Easter 2023: Following Christ demands faith but never blind faith. Come & See.


    "And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God"

    -Romans 5:9-11 (NLT)-

  • Galatians // The Opportunity to do Good | Westin Appleton | 04.03.23

    The Opportunity to do Good

     

    In Galatians 6, Paul calls us to share each other’s burdens and by doing so we obey the law of Christ. Loving people in theory is easy and beautiful but, in reality, is harsh and dreadful. If we want to be a community that lives out Paul’s call in Galatians, we must learn how to handle our own burdens. We also must recognize that our life is often too hurried to notice the burdens of people around us. Lastly, when we recognize that the things we possess are not that important, and the role that God asks us to play is not too small; then we can truly begin to put ourselves in places to carry burdens of others well.



    "Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone – especially to those in the family of faith.”

    -Galatians 6:10 (NLT)-

  • Galatians // How the Gospel Builds a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Family | Pastor Jordan Smucker | 03.19.23

    How the Gospel Builds a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Family

     

    By the time we get to the fourth chapter of Galatians, we’ve reached the climax of everything that Paul has said so far. In fact, we have reached the climax of the Gospel. Sinclair Ferguson wrote, “The notion that we are the children of God, His own sons and daughters, is the mainspring of Christian living. Our sonship to God is the apex of creation and the goal of redemption.” If we want to understand who a Christian is, and why being a Christian is a privilege, we need to appreciate divine adoption.



    "But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.””

    -Galatians 4:4-6 (NLT)-

  • Galatians // Gift of the Father | Westin Appleton | 03.05.23

    The Gift of the Father

    We have a hard time receiving grace because we live in a, “you get what you deserve world.” We think if we are good, God will be good to us. Without realizing it, we begin to believe our performance dictates how God feels about us. However, if we could make ourselves right with God or obey Him enough to deserve His kindness, Jesus would have died for nothing. By taking our eyes off ourselves and putting them onto Jesus, we will be free from shame, and will begin to understand the love of our Father.

    "My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me"

    -Galatians 2:20 (NLT)-

  • Galatians // Outline of the Gospel | Pastor Jordan Smucker | 02.26.23

    Outline of the Gospel

    It is very common in Christian circles to assume that “the Gospel” is something mainly for non-Christians. We see it as a set of basic “ABC” doctrines that are the way in which someone enters the Kingdom of God. We often assume that once we are converted, we don’t need to hear or study the gospel – we need more “advanced” material. But in this short letter to the churches in Galatia, the Apostle Paul outlines the bombshell truth that the gospel is the A to Z of the Christian life. It is not only the way to enter the Kingdom, it is the way to live as part of the Kingdom. It is the way Christ transforms people, churches, and communities.

    "I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ."

    -Galatians 1:6-7 (NLT)-

  • Thought Life // Training Your Mind | Pastor Jordan Smucker | 02.19.23

    Training Your Mind

    Our mind, when left unattended, is being trained by the world whether we realize it or not. Everything we see, hear, and experience is training us to think a certain way; “This is how I should look”, “This is what success looks like”, “This is what will make me happy”. And the more we consume the content we are engaging in, whether healthy or unhealthy, the more we will create deeper neural pathways in our brain to continue to believe the thoughts we are believing. In Romans 12:2, the Apostle Paul gives us the solution to creating new, consistently truthful, and healthy neural pathways. It is what Paul calls “renewing your mind”. It is in the process of renewing our minds that we experience what Thomas A. Kempis called, “…a family friendship with Jesus.” That is what we are after together.

    "Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

    -Romans 12:2 (NLT)-
