    Scripture Reference: Ephesians 1:1-3

    Keywords give us the ability to be “found” online if we know what we’re searching for. In a Christian’s quest to build the church, Paul provides a host of power-packed terminology to guide his favorite church plant in Ephesus towards becoming complete in Christ by being united to his church and looking for blessing.

      Scripture Reference: 2 Timothy 3:10-17

      We live in a day where even having a talk about “truth” is incredibly confusing. We have attempted to build a society on the shifting ground of our feelings. But a community that lives by the revealed truth of God’s word simply functions differently. What would it look like to be a “people of the book?”

      Sermon Points:

      • The Bible stands the test of time
      • The Bible comes with its own power
      • The Bible is a “word from the outside”

        Scripture Reference: Luke 7:18-35

        When Jesus shows up in a life, he overturns all the personal identity markers that used to define his people. This means that you can find yourself in really strange places when you’re following him. How that can be is seen this Sunday in a little scene from the life of John the Baptist.

        Sermon Points:

          Scripture Reference: James 5:13-16

          If we are going to be a church that is a home, that entails being in transparent, intimate relationships with both Jesus and each other. These kind of life-giving relationships require admitting the truth about our messy selves, but a promise of healing and restoration is on the other side.

          Sermon Points:

          • Connected to Jesus
          • Connected to Jesus’ Body (The Church)

            Scripture Reference: Hebrews 13:2

            God’s people have always had a special relationship with the outsider and the stranger. God says when you serve them, you’re actually serving me. Why is this the case? And how can we find ways to serve and love our communities without having to power through guilt as the only motivation to do so?

            Sermon Points:

            • The Meaning of Hospitality
            • The Practice of Hospitality
            • The Heart of Hospitality

              Scripture Reference: Matthew 11:27-12:14

              If we are going to be the kind of church that looks and feels like Jesus, then there should be something about our body that is restful. A body of Christ removes burdens rather than heaps on burdens and shame. Jesus interaction with Pharisees on the Sabbath presses home this point, in the person of Jesus, people finally find true Sabbath rest. The One who says “come to me and you will find rest” should shape the way Christ Pres functions with each other and in Oxford.

              Sermon Points:

              • Burdening Restlessness
              • Life Giving Rest

                Scripture Reference: Hebrews 13:2

                Every church has a concept that “centers” their activities and gives a sense of purpose and mission for their members. But a church is so complex, how do you know what God would you to make that essential to your church? This week we look into the power of the Gospel to be the power behind everything your church does.

                Sermon Points:

                • A Gospel Centrality
                • A Gospel Heart
                • A Gospel Identity
