Luke 4:1-13

Kick Off Sermon to our new series through the book of Luke and Acts, On Purpose, exploring the powerful combination of God's divine sovereignty and His people moving with an eternal purpose.

We start the new year asking God to Bless Up, In, and Out with Acts 2:42-47 on our mind and our mission For God & For Neighbor desired to be seen better than ever before.

Merry Christmas!

Too often, we depend upon a circumstantial joy that needs everything to go right for us to find it. In the Christmas story, however, we see that even when things go wrong, the message is Joy because it's built upon the love and promises of God.

In the birth of Jesus, we see God's love on full display. With the help of Kennedy Runions, we echo the praise of Zechariah who says: “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them.

We discuss the need to trade in the whimsical, dreamy, no plan or purpose hope with a biblical view of hope. One that moves us in faith filled action with eyes on the God who has moved and will move again. We see this kind of hope as we look at Simeon and Anna in Luke chapter 2.

During this Advent season, we start our Christmas series by remembering the importance of remembering the primary thing we need, which God sent at The Fullness of Time. Knowing there will be so many other liturgies pulling us in different directions, we remind are selves of the simple beauty of the Gospel. At the Fullness of Time, God sent his Son.

As we wrap up our series, we discuss how our community best reflects Christ from Philippians 2. We discover that it is in our service for one another, as we look to each others interests.

Kirk Cowell continues our Reflect series by giving us God's vision of a diverse community, united together with all of our differences, under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
