  • Beware, Care, and Prayer

    Sermon Series:  Through New Eyes

    Sermon Title: Beware, Care, and Prayer

    Sermon Scripture: Matthew 16

    Speaker: Andy Bratton

    Big Idea:  The election can be a distraction from the most important thing in life and that is following Jesus.  Don’t miss who He is in the midst of deciding who you are.

    Matthew 16:1-4

      Watch out or you may miss what God has done and is yet to do.

      Matthew 16:5-12

        Watch out or you may miss what God wants to teach you while you are focused on earthly things.

        Matthew 16:13-20

          Watch out or you may miss who Jesus is.

          Matthew 16:21-23

            Watch out or you may miss the big picture.

            Matthew 16:24-28

              Watch out or you may miss your true calling.

              Daniel 7:13-14

              We are and always will be under the authority of Jesus, the one true King!

            1. Light ‘er Up

              Sermon Series:  Through New EyesSermon Title: Light ‘er UpSermon Scripture: Matthew 5:14-16Speaker: Andy BrattonBig Idea:  God created light to expose the darkness.  We are called to be a light that others may get out of the darkness.

              John 8:12

                External light starts internally.

                1 John 1:5-7

                  Walking in light exposes trails we should avoid.

                  1 Corinthians 4:5

                    The second coming will bring a great revealing.

                    Matthew 5:14-16

                      Our good works light the way for others.

                      Genesis 1:1-3; Exodus 13:21-22; Leviticus 24:1-2; Judges 7:16,20; Micah 7:8; Proverbs 4:18,6:23,13:9; Psalm 27:1,90:8; Exodus 34:29-35; Revelation 22:5

                      May God shine in and through you!

                      Luke 15:1-2

                      1. Are we family who grumble or family who can’t contain our excitement? a. Acts 16:28-33

                      Luke 15:3-72. Are we Pharisees who are content we still have 99 or a Christ follower who

                      hurts over the one? a. Galatians 4:8-9

                      Luke 15:8-103. Are we Pharisees who look down on those who lost, or a family who help

                      celebrate what is found? a. Luke 18:9-14

                      Luke 15:11-324. Do we focus on who is lost or what we lost?

                      a. Matthew 23:27-28 Luke 15:1-2

                      A Biblical worldview of the parables of the lost reveals it is about teshuva, returning to God.

                      Sermon Scripture:  Exodus
                      Speaker: Andy Bratton

                      Big Idea:  Our Biblical worldview shows us the importance of the Holy Spirit living within us and how we are able to follow Jesus as believers.

                        God desires to dwell with His people.
                          Genesis 3:8
                          Exodus 25:8
                          God is approachable to His people.
                            Exodus 24:1-2
                            Exodus 25:22
                            God’s temple is a message to His people.
                              Picture of the Tabernacle
                                Outer Courtyard – Altar of burnt offerings, Laver
                                Holy Place – table of showbread, menorah, altar of incense
                                Holy of Holies – Ark of the Covenant
                                God’s temple becomes a message from His people.
                                  John 14:15-17
                                  14:23
                                  15:26-27
                                  2 Cor. 6:16-18

                                  A Biblical worldview explains why we wrestle with sin and why sin is in the world.

                                1. A Tree is Just a Tree Until it Isn’t

                                  The Sunday School version of Jonah:

                                  Jonah 1:1-3

                                    Jonah ran from God’s calling

                                    Jonah 2:1-2

                                      Jonah ran to God’s mercy

                                      Jonah 3:1-5

                                        Jonah ran with God’s protection

                                        Jonah 4:1-4

                                          Jonah ran ahead of God’s timing

                                          The Biblical Worldview of Jonah

                                          Jonah 4:5-8; 2 Kings 14:23-27; Genesis 9:25; Genesis 10:8-12; Genesis 12:3; Nahum 1:1-2

                                            The tree is just a tree until it isn’t (Genesis 9:25). Deut. 32:21. Gen. 12:3

                                            A Biblical Worldview uses God’s greater story as the lens for understanding.

                                            Sermon Title:  Who Are We Living ForSermon Scripture: Deut 6:4-9, Matt 4:19. +VariousSpeaker: James TrumbleBig Idea:  We exist to glorify God by knowing Him and making Him known, and to answer the call to discipleship by using the one life we are given to follow Him, become more like Him, and bring others to Him.

                                              Why are we here?
                                                We are here to glorify God.
                                                  How do we glorify God?
                                                    We glorify God by knowing Him and making him known in everything we do.
                                                      What should we do then?
                                                        Live out our calling as disciples of Jesus Christ.
                                                          The instructions are clear
                                                            “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.”
                                                              We only get one life
                                                                The question is: who are you living it for?
