God had a dream for what the church could and should be and how they would be used to seek and save the lost. The blueprint for this dream to be a reality is found in the Scriptures, specifically 1 Timothy. In this sermon, Pastor Brandon looks at three ways the church of Jesus Christ can exhibit honor to all people.

What does God think about leadership in the local church? In 1 Timothy 3, Paul lays out for Timothy a plan for leadership, the type of people he should look for and the promises for those who lead well. God is more concerned about the character of those who lead the church, then how talented and skilled they are.

In this message, Pastor Brandon looks at the first essential component of a Godly church - a church that keeps the main thing the main thing.

Many people “followed” Jesus during his life, but not everyone who followed really pursued him. Are we just “following” Jesus or do we really want to be like and pursue him?

We pursue the wrong things and wonder why they never satisfy. We have convinced ourselves that we are pursuing Jesus but in reality our lives look very little like the one we claim to follow. instead we are obsessed with pursuing PEOPLE, POSSESSIONS, POSITION and PLEASURES. From Philippians 3:7-14 we see Paul's perspective and priority in life... Jesus.

Something is broken and it may not be what we think it is. It's not that we don't believe in God, it is more about what we believe about Him and how He views us. Psalm 139 is David's perspective on God and how he views His people. God knows, loves, is always with us and has a plan for our lives. We need to accept that in order to pursue Him more faithfully.
