  • Annual Celebration: ”Keep Calm and Serve On”
    Lead Pastor Dan Acker
    November 20, 2022
     
    Galatians 5:19-21
     
    Don’t Quit!
     
    Galatians 6:9
     
    "This precept is especially necessary because we are naturally lazy in the duties of love, and many little stumbling-blocks hinder and put off even the well-disposed. We meet with many unworthy, many ungrateful people. The vast number of the needy overwhelms us; we are drained by paying out on every side. Our warmth is damped by the coldness of others. Finally, the whole world is full of hindrances which turn us aside from the right path. Therefore Paul does well to confirm our efforts, so that we do not faint through weariness." -John Calvin


    "What makes authentic disciples is not visions, ecstasies, biblical mastery of chapter and verse, or spectacular success in the ministry, but a capacity for faithfulness. Buffeted by the fickle winds of failure, battered by their own unruly emotions, and bruised by rejection and ridicule, authentic disciples may have stumbled and frequently fallen, endured lapses and relapses, gotten handcuffed to the fleshpots and wandered into a far country. Yet, they kept coming back to Jesus." -Brennan Manning

    We have Dual Citizenship – One Earthly and One Eternal

    Hebrews 11:13-16 

    “The Church of Jesus – meaning the community of believers worldwide through all generations – is utterly transcendent. It has been purchased at the highest imaginable cost – the blood of the son of God – and it consists of hundreds of millions of redeemed men and women from every background and ethnicity and color. Those who are part of this blood-bought community live in every nation on the earth, yet their citizenship is in heaven. They are in this world but not part of it. Those that are part of this community are united, but not by any earthly creed or national anthem. We are united by a shared citizenship in God’s heavenly kingdom and our joint status as sons and daughter in His heavenly family.” -Michael L Brown

    How do we live in the United States as good citizens when are citizenship is in heaven?

    "The Christian Gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself or less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less." -Tim Keller
