Radiant Church Weekend Sermon

Radiant Church is passionate about reaching the lost. At Radiant we understand that reaching out to the lost is not a responsibility that is on Christ's shoulders alone, more often then not he speaks through Christians. We have to recognize what our role is and always be ready for opportunities that may be open to us.

Radiant Church is passionate about empowering people. We believe that a church operates with the help of it's congregation; it's volunteers, not just those called into "full time ministry" as a vocation. The scriptures call each of us to step up and step out and by doing so we can find ourselves investing in others and creating an environment for growth.

Radiant Church is passionate about reaching the next generation. As Pastor Kristin, over the children's ministry, and Pastor Jon over youth ministry, share their hearts for reaching the next generation, you see a clearer picture of how God's plans are often multi-generational. If we don't purposefully invest in the next generation, they won't know what they are missing! They are fully capable to receive and share the love of Christ, and it's our responsibility to help them learn how.

Radiant Church is passionate about encountering God. The quality and impact of a church service is not about the worship, media elements or even well spoken message. The impact of a service is directly linked to creating an atmosphere where people are engaged. Others cannot argue with a personal experience with the power of God. How are you creating an environment for an encounter?

The Lord's Prayer closes with a familiar request for God to not lead us unto temptation but to deliver us from the evil one. In this dynamic message, Pastor Lee breaks down what it looks like to ask God for protection and direction, while guarding ourselves against temptations. Because the devil is a very real entity that will do whatever it takes to derail God's plan for your life.

We look the most like Jesus when we are forgiving. Pastor Jon gives a clear cut perspective on what forgiveness is and what it is not. What does it mean to forgive others of their sins so that God will forgive us? When we forgive others we are allowing ourselves to step into freedom and place justice back in God's hands.

Pastor Todd Staal shares a new perspective on what it looks like to ask for this day our daily bread. Not only does this imply that we need physical provision, but we need to ask for spiritual words and perspective daily as well. Once we begin asking in faith we will see God's provision in every area of our life.
