LEGACY BIBLE CHURCH > Embrace, Embody, Entrust, & Engage the Gospel

Wes Crawford, worship pastor of Redeemer Fellowship in Kansas City, Missouri, shares the gospel-centered ministry vision of Redeemer.

In this message we Kendall Ellis explores the meaning and practice of the Lord’s Supper, explaining our church’s view of this ordinance and encouraging us to remember and cherish all the blessings of God in the gospel whenever we come to the Lord’s Table together.

After exposing the self-centeredness of the hearts of both the younger and older brothers in Jesus' parable of the Prodigal, where do we turn? If they are both wrong, then what is the answer? What does a community of believers who center their hearts on the gospel look and feel like? And how can we follow the example that the father in this parable displays?

Forgiveness is a wonderful thing. It's at the heart of every relationship--our relationship with God and our relationships with others. But this next message on Jesus' parable of the Prodigal reminds us that forgiveness always means there is an absorbing of the pain, a paying of the debt, on the part of the forgiver. That's what God has done for us. Is that what we are quick to do in order to show forgiveness to others?

Rebellion, arrogance, selfishness, worldly pleasure-seeking. Sound familiar? Many of us at one time or another have been down the same path as the “prodigal son” of Jesus’ story in Luke 15, only to find a dead end. As we continue our five-week series on this parable of Jesus, in this message we take a closer look at this younger brother to discover the true intentions of his heart

Sin always brings separation. Our selfish, worldly, prideful pursuits separate us from the relationship with God that we are made for. But they also separate us from other relationships. Sin often drives a wedge between us and other people we need and care about. Over the next month, we'll be taking a detailed look at one of Jesus Christ’s most well known parables. It’s a story in which we'll see how misguided loves can destroy a family and a community. The answer to this brokenness is the gospel, so join us as we learn how to let God work in us to restore gospel community in our lives.

Jesus told those who followed Him that they were not merely His servants, but His friends. What does it mean that the Son of God is our friend? And if He is our friend, how does that affect the kind of friendship we pursue in our relationships with other people?

We call fellow believers 'brothers' and 'sisters', but do they really have that privileged a place in our lives--that kind of access to our time, our thoughts, our homes? As we conclude our study of the disciplines of grace, we look at the nature of gospel-centered community and how it transforms every relationship we have.

Have you ever struggled with being gracious to the people you meet everyday? In this message Mike Sheer, Missions Director of Denton Bible Church, addresses this question. He reminds us--as the apostle Paul in Titus chapter 3 instructed men of God to remind the Church--that in order to show grace to others, we must constantly look back to the astonishing amount of grace that God has shown us.

Women are complex creatures. As a result, their sexual identities are layered in deep emotional connections forged in early childhood and nurtured throughout life. In this message from Ricky Chelette of Living Hope Ministries, we explore how early bonds are formed and how childhood experiences can shape adult relating and intimacy from a redemptive, Biblical perspective.
