    Being A Radical

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jul 26, 2022
     | 948 views

    Reform is what Jesus was looking for. He was called a radical. The Pharisees took notice of what He was doing. Corruption was destroying Judaism. Is it happening to Christianity today? When humans create an organization eventually corruption sneaks in.

    Being a Radical John 4:1-6 Rev. Dr. Michael Harvey Koplitz John 4:1 And Jesus knew, that the Pharisees had heard; that he made many disciples, and baptized more than John. 2 Yet Jesus himself did not baptize but his disciples. 3 And he left Judaea, and went again into Galilee. 4 And in going, he ...read more

    On Being Hospitable Series

    Part II of the Four-Part Vision: God instructs his people to practice hospitality. What does this mean as we receive guests in our congregations? Are we ill-prepared to welcome our guests? Or do we receive them as the blessing and gift that God intended?

    Congregations are families. The longer that they are together, usually the harder it is to let other people become part of the inner circle of the church. And yet, we know that – just as we are to be hospitable as families – we are also called to be hospitable as groups of believers. The writer ...read more

    Athletic history records some leaps from worst to first. For example, the Minnesota Twins finished last in their division in 1990, yet came back to win the World Series in 1991, illustrating the maxim, “ it’s not how you begin, it’s how you finish!”

    Being a Finisher Text: Hebrews 10: 32-39 But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so ...read more

    Our call to go in this new direction was not unlike the call of Abraham in our Scripture today. God said, “Go!” Go where? “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing...

    Being a Blessing Genesis 12:1-3 When I arrived here more than six years ago as Pastor, I met with the congregation in small groups, and asked 3 simple questions: “What do you like about the church? What do you want to keep the same? What do you want to change?” Out of those ...read more

    Many times those who serve in obscurity are overlooked, but provide a tremendous impact to the body of Christ. We must encourage those who serve in the shadows to continue for the Lord.

    In Corinth the Lord’s Supper had become a place where privilege and class diversity was causing division. Through Paul’s rebuke we are called to examine whether our participation in the Lord’s Supper is unworthy.

    Message 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 Being Community The church in Corinth is well known as a church with issues. Let’s turn to 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 and read about an issue they were having with the Lord’s Supper.

    Congregations today are in peril of being like the Church in Pergamum: confessing Christ in a culture that is unfriendly to Christianity, but embracing the lifestyle of those who are not Christian.

    Revelation 2:12-17 Church in the Shadows Pergamum December 2, 2007 "Pergamum: The Church in the Shadow of Satan’s Throne" This letter was written "to the angel of the church in Pergamum."
