The Table TX

“Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.” — Ecclesiastes 4:6

Steven gives his personal testimony and how it relates to  Mark chapter 5.

The title of my message this week is "Your Gospel is Too Small." I'll be discussing how we sometimes misunderstand the gospel of Jesus to be about saving "souls" rather than something more all-encompassing and wholistic.

Now, this language of the oppressed brings up a key question. Who are the oppressors and what is our relationship to them? Thus, the title of my message tonight is The Oppressed & The Oppressors. I’d like to begin with this Scripture from the book of Proverbs.

“There are those who are pure in their own eyes but are not cleansed of their filth.” — Prov. 30:12

Unpacking a few of the common ideas that prevent Christians from being on the side of the poor and oppressed, namely the ideas that Christianity is only a private, inward, and personal affair. As opposed to a public, outward, and political faith.

Any so-called "Gospel" of Jesus that is not good news for the poor and oppressed is not actually the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

A deeper dive into the phrase "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."

We are kicking off the year with a new series called “Prayer: learning to pray like Jesus”.  This first message is title "Prayer & Imitation".

Continuing our Christmas mini-series, Brett talks about how to live with more Joy.

The title of our message this week is A Religion of Joy. Brett unpacks how the center of Christian faith is found in the announcement of the angel to the shepherds in Luke 2, "I bring you good news of great joy." That good news is that Jesus is the human face of God to us, and that's a truth that should fill us with joy.
