  • 🍔 EVERYONE EATS with Josh Liem

    🍔 EVERYONE EATS with Josh Liem
    Matthew 9:9-26
    People loved eating with Jesus. He was criticized and, some would argue,[1]

    even killed because of who he ate with. The Apostle Paul quotes ancient
    wisdom literature by saying “bad company corrupts moral character (1
    Cor. 15:33),” but the opposite seems to be happening here in Matthew’s
    Gospel: Jesus’ company motivates mercy. We wrestle through first century
    dining norms contrasted with Jesus’ radical hospitality, and the
    implications for our lives. [1] H. Anderson and E. Foley, Mighty
    Stories, Dangerous Rituals: Weaving Together the Human and the Divine,
    (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1998), 155.

    5️⃣ Five Shifts of True Revival + Reformation: Shift 5, The Centre Holds!
    .
    JUNE 4, 2023
    .
    10:30 AM (family Sunday + communion + potluck following)
    .
    FIVE SHIFTS OF TRUE REVIVAL + REFORMATION
    A reformation is a period of recalibration and course-correction. Any community around for as long as the church will experience inevitable drift over time. Yet the Spirit has worked again and again throughout history to draw the church back toward its center. Key moments come when particular ideas and practices are rethought and core truths are rediscovered.
    Rapid cultural and technological change, clergy scandals, church divisions, and political turmoil have resulted in a period where “deconstruction” is the buzzword. Many Christians find themselves rethinking their faith, and many outside the church dismiss Christianity as having nothing true or relevant left to say to the world.

    THIS SUNDAY: Shift 5: THE CENTRE HOLDS
    .
    Acts 11, 15 (Acts 15:7-11), Romans 10:1-4, 9, 12
    .
    Small groups, families, and friends are experiencing a division and disunity in their faith like never before. Like their pastors, they’re wondering “What holds the center? Is there something that can sustain our shared life together? Is there something big enough to unite us even when so much seems set to tear us apart?”

    THIS SUNDAY: Shift 4.5 Pentecost, The Spirit Shift
    Acts 1:1-8, Acts 2:1-21, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14
    The fourth element of this new Jesus-centred move of God is: “A clarified purpose and a fresh empowerment The Holy Spirit empowers us to partner in God’s work of reconciling all things.”  This Sunday, the church celebrates the birth of the church at the sending of the Holy Spirit. This start was marked by physical sensations and the strange gift of speaking in words and sounds the speaker did not learn. What can we learn about the strange gift of Speaking in Tongues for today?

    5️⃣ Five Shifts of True Revival + Reformation: Shift 4 THE FIREPLACE INSIDE YOU
    --
    ​Acts 1:1-8, Acts 2:1-4, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14
    --​
    The fire inside you impels you to act. In this day, followers of Jesus need to have an encounter with the spiritual fire of God more than ever. We are called to learn again from the early church the Pentecostal Christianity that empowers us. The fourth element of this new move of God is: “A clarified purpose and a fresh empowerment The Holy Spirit empowers us to partner in God’s work of reconciling all things.”

  • 5️⃣ Five Shifts of True Revival + Reformation: Shift 3.75: A New Relationship With Power with Shel Boese

    5️⃣ Five Shifts of True Revival + Reformation: Shift 3.75: A New Relationship With Power
    Not so with you! - Jesus (Matthew 20:20-28)
    “The way you think and feel and act about money, sex, and power, puts your heart’s treasure on display. Either God, or something he made. (MSP, J. Piper, 20).” We ask: With everyone clamoring to get their way at the expense of others, what would it look like for the church to model a radically different and altogether beautiful kind of power, and in the process, pointing people to a radically different and altogether beautiful God?

  • 5️⃣ Five Shifts of True Revival + Reformation - Shift 3.5: Reframing through Sacrificial Love with Shel Boese

    5️⃣ Five Shifts of True Revival + Reformation - Shift 3.5: Reframing through Sacrificial Love - Money, Sex, and Power touch all people, everywhere, for all time—every thinker and spiritual path wrestles with them. Richard Foster points out, "The ancient monastic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience were a direct response to the issues of money, sex, and power. Or think of the Puritans, who answered the question with their emphasis upon industry, faithfulness, and order (5)." There is a way that love, defined by Jesus, can help us live into these in life-giving ways.

    5️⃣ Five Shifts of True Revival + Reformation, Shift Three: A New Relationship with Power
    -
    Jesus and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit calls us to approach evil in a new way. Evil is overcome through the power of suffering love. The question we must ask is: With everyone clamoring to get their way at the expense of others, what would it look like for the church to model a radically different and altogether beautiful kind of power, and in the process, pointing people to a radically different and altogether beautiful God?
