Sermon Summary

Comfort is killing our courage. The book of Nehemiah describes a massive transition that he went through from the comfort of the palace into the thick of the challenges of rebuilding. Nehemiah left the complacent yet lush culture of being an assistant to the King of Persia and went to a desolate city in ruins, all because he wept over what God put in his heart. The church finds itself in a similar season of shedding security to rise up and build our city. Renewal of our city comes out of the burden of revival in our hearts. We must leave the comforts that have led us to be dormant and stoke the fire of God again to hear His agenda for our city. We are called to use both of our hands—battling with one hand, building with the other. Let’s gather together and discover how we can lay bricks and pick up our swords for the good of our city.

Sermon Summary

During this Baptism Weekend we’re looking at Acts 8, which tells the story of an unexpected encounter between Philip, an Ethiopian diplomat, and the Holy Spirit. To this point in the diplomat’s life, he’s never been welcomed into the inner circles of worship. But during this life-changing chariot ride, he learns that there is nothing about him that disqualifies him from relationship with Jesus, and after he confesses belief in Jesus, he is joyfully baptized as an outward declaration of an inward transformation. This is one of the beautiful things about baptism: the only requirement for water baptism is faith in Jesus.

Sermon Summary

In the fast-paced, calendar-driven world in which we live, it is imperative that Jesus’ followers intentionally leverage creative ways and means to engage our cities. And sometimes the creativity required is simply a “reset”—a “back to the basics” mentality that boldly declares that there is no law against loving our families, neighbors, co-workers, employers, and employees well with the consistent, clear-eyed vision that this is what Jesus calls us to do. Soon enough, we’ll be able to cast the seed of the Gospel; but cultivating the hard soil of the soul with prayer and love is a necessary first step.
