Continuing in our One Another Summer series today Pastor Dustin Clegg leads us through the scripture as we talk about encouraging one another.

We are starting a new series called One Another Summer where Pastor Dustin Clegg will walk us through some of the "One Another" commands in the Bible. Today we look at Romans 12:1-16 and as we explore what it means to be members of one another, we have a couple of observations with some applications:

(1) Genuinely becoming members of one another is primarily dependent on our individual and corporate relationship with Jesus. (Romans 12:1-2)

       Applications:

     (1) Daily ask Jesus to have His way in the bodies He has given us.

     (2) Protect your mind from being molded by the world.

     (3) Ask Jesus to give us His mind.

(2) Genuinely becoming members of one another is also dependent on the depth we allow the Gospel to shape our hearts for our King & His family. (Romans 12:3-16)

     Applications:

     (1) Think rightly about ourselves.

     (2) Use our gifts for the mission of Jesus & the good of others.

     (3) Allow the Gospel to sink deeply into our souls to the point that it affects                             every relationship we have.

Today we finish up the Who is Jesus? series and our study of the book of John as we look at John 21:15-25.

Today we take a look at John 21:9-14 and Pastor Dustin Clegg asks one important question: Will you submit to Jesus?

We begin John 21 in the Who is Jesus? series and as we look at verses 1-8 Pastor Dustin Clegg has 4 observations from the text:

1) The Spirit of Jesus guides us to observe, acknowledge and celebrate the work of Jesus in our brothers and sisters.

2) Actively waiting on Jesus is a biblical practice.

3) The difference between church nothingness and incredible, joyous, amazing, unbelievable Kingdom impact could be 48 inches.

4) Jesus is trustworthy to be present even if we cannot see Him clearly in our current circumstances.

Application

Obedience is better than expertise.

Obedience is better than planning.

Obedience is better than systems and structures.

Obedience is better than programming.

Continuing with our study of the book of John, Pastor Dustin Clegg walks us through John 20:24-31 and offers several observations from the text.

1) We need people in our lives who will tell us and keep on telling us the truth no matter what. (John 20:25)

2) We need people in our lives who will love us and keep on loving us no matter what. (John 20:25)

3) Jesus offers His presence and His peace to doubters. (John 20:26)

4) One of the best ways that Jesus relieves doubt in the minds and souls of people is revealing to them His restored (but still broken and scarred) body. (John 20:27)

Application

Worship (and not shame) is the right response for reconciled doubters. (John 20:28)

5) Doubt sometimes flows from a lack of perspective. (John 20:29)

6) Scripture is given for the sake of life through belief in Jesus. (John 20:30-31)

Pastor Dustin Clegg continues this week with our study of the book of John as we look at chapter 20:24.

Happy Easter! HE IS RISEN! Today Pastor Dustin Clegg continues with our journey through the book of John and as we look at John 20:11-23, we see Jesus as the Quiet Conqueror.

1) Jesus is not nearly as interested in proving Himself to His enemies. (vs 11-18)

2) Jesus offers peace to failing forward followers. (vs 19-20)

3) Jesus sends his failing forward followers into His sacrificial mission. (vs 21-23)

Let Jesus be Jesus in our lives.

The series, Who is Jesus?, continues and as we look at John 20:1-10 Pastor Dustin Clegg poses 3 questions to ask of the scripture:

1) Why would John record the reactions of Mary and the disciple in an unbelieving light?

          John was mainly concerned with the facts of the resurrection.

2) What was it about the grave clothes that caused John to believe?

          He knew the body was not stolen.

3) Why the stone even moved at all?

          The stone was moved to let the disciples (and us) in, not to let Jesus out.

The message of the resurrection......"Come and see!".

Continuing in the Who is Jesus? series and our walk through the book of John, Pastor Dustin Clegg talks us through John 19:38-43 and has 3 observations about The Anointed King.

1) The Anointed King changes the fearful to fearless.

2) The Anointed King turns graves into gardens.

3) The Anointed King makes His enemies His friends.
