Message : Welcome to the World's Tolerance (11-20-2022) 

Speaker: Jacob Blouse (Online Minister) 

Series: PEACEMAKERS  

In this series final, Jacob takes us through a challenging look at what we are dealing with in our culture when it comes to truth and tolerance. We take a look at how God views these issues and what our role is as Christians in a divided world.

In this message, Dale talks about how as Christians, we are not called to be stumbling blocks for others of weaker faith and use them as a punching bag just to win an argument. Dale discusses how we need to evaluate ourselves and see if what we are doing is causing distress or being a stumbling block to somebody else.

In this message, Dale warns us not to put all of your trust in a political party instead of the unity of the church. Our attitude of thinking one side is better than the other, and constantly punching lines at one another, isn't what Christ taught us.

Thankful to have John Bliffen and his wife Becky of the Latino Christian Movement with us. John and Becky have been supported missionaries of WCC for many years and we are so blessed to see how God is using them.

Our series, "PEACEMAKERS," begins with Dale discussing how Romans chapter 12 calls us to love even those who disagree with us. We will not be able to see Christ in this politically divided culture if we throw verbal punches at each other whenever we disagree. Even when we disagree, they can see Jesus in our love for them.

5x5 is a series were 5 speakers give their best 5 minute messages. Each speaker gets to choose their own topic and they have 5 minutes to deliver their message.

In this installment of 5x5, we will hear from:

Hamish Taylor is one of our supported church planters from Auckland, New Zealand. Hamish delivers an insightful message about the need to show love in a post-Christian culture. In his message, he points out that the world already knows we don't agree with them, but do they know we love them?

In this series finale, Dale discusses the proper use of the tools God has given us for the kingdom. Our finances are included in this. Dale emphasizes the importance of worshipful giving rather than transactional giving.

In this message, Jacob explores how God loans us money to invest in his work. Jacob examines Apostle Paul's instructions on why we should give, how we should give, and the correct motivation for giving. A good indicator of who you are can be found in how you use the money God has given you.

In this introduction to our series, "The Almighty Dollar" Dale reminds us that everything belongs to God. Including our finances. The gift of Growth, Fellowship, and Trust is given to us by God because he owns everything.
