There is often a temptation for Christians to have a dual-climate control approach to their faith, where they give Jesus a set of controls for their life, but keep one for themselves as well. In this message, Gordon Dabbs tells us that Jesus calls us to be His followers, His disciples. This means that we are called to let go of our own lives, and thus find real life in Jesus. Jesus is Lord or he isn't. He controls the climate in your life, or he doesn't. He gave up his life so that you could find yours, in Him.

Can someone wear the label Christian without actually being one? Can someone believe in Jesus without being a follower of Jesus? In this message, Gordon Dabbs answers these questions. According to Jesus himself, it's not only a possibility; it is prophesied as a certainty. The Christian myth is about getting yourself "saved" and then making sure you're sitting on a nice comfy pew most Sundays. The truth is that Jesus wants to unleash his disciples on the adventure of following Him. And, if you are a disciple, this week in your life in your world, this is your mission trip, to do the work of evangelism and discipleship.

In the days we live, hurry is the order of the day. We hurry from place to place, we cram our days so full of activities and appointments that it feels like we are always running late. In this message, Gordon Dabbs encourages us to slow down our time around the Lord's Table. We focus on it, we savor it, we digest the rich meaning of the communal meal we share together.

Our part of the country has been through some very difficult weeks recently. We struggle to make sense of what happened and why it happened. In this message, Gordon Dabbs explains that people like us have real questions, doubts, confusion, as a result of a tragedy. The good news is that we can bring our sorrow, our confusion and our questions to Jesus. He dealt with tragedy head on, and Jesus shows us not only how to frame our thinking about it, but also the way we address it with compassionate sacrifice.

What makes you afraid? Satan is our real enemy and he uses the forces under his control to attack God's most precious creation -- us. In this message, Gordon Dabbs teaches the enemy attacks the ties that bind us to one another here in the community. He is working to steal life from us. We see Satan at work in the demon-possessed man and the townspeople of the Decapolis. But Jesus connects people to God, to other people, and to God's mission for his life. When you put on Christ, the lion of Judah, the Son of God, comes to live in you.

Discipleship cannot and should not be reduced to what happens at Church on Sunday. In this message, Gordon Dabbs examines Jesus' interaction with the Canaanite woman, and how he taught the disciples about their mission through the classroom of their real lives. Jesus wants us to be part of His immersion program, His 24/7 discipleship experience where we walk together into school, into the workplace, into the neighborhood, into the city, and into worship.

Do you want a faith that pleases Jesus? Do you want a faith that is effective? In this message, Gordon Dabbs examines the faith of the Roman centurion, who had faith in the authority of Jesus and had complete trust in the ability of Jesus to heal his servant. People of faith, biblical faith, believe in and trust in the living God revealed in the Scriptures, the God who is at work in visible and invisible realms; and they experience him.

Jesus loves every person and he longs to bring wellness into their lives.

One of the things that made Jesus such a compelling teacher was the way he used stories. In this message, Gordon Dabbs shares how Jesus told his disciples the parable of the persistent widow to show them that they should always pray and not give up. But that story, It's not a good depiction of how prayer works. When you know how loving God is and how precious you are in his sight, you pray with more freedom, more confidence, and more trust, knowing that your Father listens to every word you pray.
