Chris Wall • Colossians 1:24-29

We are a church devoted to reading, understanding, and meditating on God’s Word. Scripture is our guide for life, shaping both how we think and how we live. We view the world through the lens of God’s revealed truth. The Bible is inspired, inerrant, and the perfect revelation of God to man. It is a divine treasure—with God as its author, salvation as its goal, and truth without error in every part. Therefore, God’s Word is trustworthy, eternal, and remains the unchanging standard for our lives.

The Challenge today is grounded in these questions: Do you understand God’s Word? Are you taking intentional steps this week to go deeper in study. Are you living it? Are you surrounding yourself with godly people who will help you apply His truth every day.

Chris Wall • James 1:1-4

James opens his letter with a bold challenge: “Count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds.” He’s writing to believers who are scattered and suffering, yet he calls them to see trials not as interruptions, but as invitations. God uses hardship to grow us up in Christ. Trials test our faith, but they also produce endurance, shape our character, and forge a deeper trust in God. This passage invites us to re-focus our view of hardship, not as something to escape, but as the very workshop where Christ builds us into people who are mature, complete, and lacking nothing.

Chris Wall • John 15:1-10

Chris Wall • Acts 1:1-11

The writings of Luke makes up up over one-fourth of the entire New Testament when taking both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Luke gives a vivid description of the the radical life-change that took place among the post-resurrection disciples. Acts specifically fills in the gap between the Gospels and the Epistles. This revelation of God provides the transition of the gospel becoming a world-wide faith. This first chapter in Acts portrays the power of God at work in the church through the Holy Spirit delivered to the world after the ascension of Christ into heaven. This work of the Holy Spirit continues until His glorious return that it certainly on the horizon.

Chris Wall • Ephesians 6:10-13

Our Mission to KNOW GOD and HELP PEOPLE follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere puts us right in the middle of the spiritual battle in Tulsa. We have to be aware of the spiritual battle. In fact, living our lives unaware of the spiritual battle around us is dangerous. Jesus taught us to not only be mindful of the spiritual battle, but we are to take our stand against the schemes of the devil. This week part of our RE-FOCUS is learning to STAND TOGETHER against the schemes of the devil. Ephesians 6 teaches us how to do that well.

Chris Wall • Matthew 9:35-38

As we Re-focus, the revelation of salvation and God’s purpose of grace is critical to keep the MISSION in our SIGHTS. We believe that a person is made right with God by His grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. This describes the experience of being BORN AGAIN. Saving faith is not just mentally agreeing that Christ, the Cross and the Resurrection took place in history. Saving faith occurs when one is born again. This is the moment of transformation. When God brings about a sanctifying life, guided and empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT resulting in a relying on Christ work on the cross. Every person must face the reality that no one can meet God’s standard on their own, no matter how moral they may be. The narrow gate cannot be entered by partly trusting ourselves and partly trusting God. The gospel calls us to depend completely on Christ alone for salvation. This summarizes the MESSAGE and MISSION God has entrusted our church here, there, and everywhere. Nearly 2,000 years after Jesus’ prayer, we stand as a direct answer, called to be workers in His harvest field. Let's get to work in OUR HARVEST FIELD by keeping this mission always in sight.

Chris Wall • Matthew 16:12-20

This church was God’s idea and He is the one who called us together. It is Christ who made us…A light to the Word. (Matthew 5) Like a city that is on a hill that cannot be hidden. He calls us a body working together in unity. (1 Corinthians 12) He told us in John 17:20-21 – that it is in our unity that the world would believe that God the Father sent Him. It is the unity of the church that helps the world recognize Christ is Lord (John 17). It is the gathered church where the only hope for the nations is found (Matthew 28). It is the gathered church the gates of hell will not defeat (Matthew 16). It is the church where Jesus builds a living body put into action impacting society (1 Corinthians 12)

Chris Wall • Matthew 7:24-29

Here Jesus wraps up His Sermon on the Mount with a crystal-clear illustration of two builders, two houses and a certain storm. Certainly, hearing His words and putting them into practice reveals wisdom because rain is coming. We can’t just listen to Jesus, we have to put His words into action. Your eternal destiny will rests on how you respond to Jesus. The wise hear and obey, securing life on the unshakable foundation of Christ. The foolish dismiss His authority, building on sand, and face inevitable collapse. Are you experiencing the unparalleled construction of your life? It is available to you.

Chris Wall • Matthew 7:13-23

Most people who live in the world think they are going to heaven when they die. The sad truth is that most will walk through the door of death only to discover they were wrong. In this sermon, Jesus makes it clear that the path to destruction is wide and the path to eternal life is narrow. Though there are many false teachers who are gifted with the art of confusion, God has clearly revealed this narrow path to eternal life. In this sermon, Jesus reveals this narrow path while simultaneously exposing the way to recognize false teachers. Today, will you wisely examine your life to see if you are on that unparalleled narrow way to eternal life.
