    As followers of Christ, we are all sent with a purpose by Jesus to share the good news, serve others, and participate in God's mission, remembering that all things are possible with Him by our side.

    Hey guys, I'm super pumped to chat with you today about something that's been on my mind. We're going to dive into a cool part of the Bible, from the book of Matthew, where Jesus gives us a pretty clear idea of what we're supposed to do now that we're Christians. You know, like, what's our purpose? ...read more

    2020 is The Year of the Turnaround. Turnaround starts with me! Turnaround starts at home. Turnaround starts with Parenting on Purpose to train up the children in the way they should grow and go!

    Isaiah 1:17 says that doing well is a learned process. In order to learn to do well, we must be trained. When I was in the U.S. Army, we did what was called Train-up Training. Train-up training is training for the next level while you are still on the previous level. Likewise, training children ...read more

    The Purpose Of The Parables

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,920 views

    Jesus Himself suggests a different reason to that which His disciples might have expected.

    THE PURPOSE OF THE PARABLES. Matthew 13:10-17; Matthew 13:34-35. It is possible to ‘Like’ Jesus without really ever knowing what He is all about. For some, He is a wonderful teacher, making ‘it’ all so much ‘easier’: yet what is ‘easy’ about, for example, Matthew 5:21-22 or Matthew 5:27-28? ...read more

    God help the bride of Christ, the church and the body of Christ today is my sincere prayer. Can you imagine the fragmentation, cacophony, disunity that the church today is engulfed in?

    “John said to Jesus, “Master, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn’t in our group.” 50 But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him! Anyone who is not against you is for you”. Lk 9:49-50 God help the bride of Christ, the church and the body of Christ today is ...read more

    Fellowship On Purpose Series

     | 8,287 views

    Can we effectively worship the Lord by ourselves at home, on the golf course, or on a hiking trail in the forest? Why do we need to go to church? Is there something in it for us? Yes, there is something in it for each of us!

    We’re going to begin discussing the five purposes of the church by first looking at what the Bible says about fellowship. Dictionary.com defines fellowship as, “friendly relationship,” “companionship,” and “communion, as between members of the same church.”(1) The Lord wants us all to have close ...read more

     | 7,101 views

    A huge part of the Great Commission is to make disciples, which is known as “discipleship.” This message answers the questions: “Where are we supposed to be doing this?” and “How are we supposed to be discipling others?”

    In the Great Commission, Jesus commanded, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20). I read a Southern Baptist book entitled ...read more

    Worship On Purpose Series

     | 7,102 views

    Worship is so much more than singing a song, the style of music, or our even own preferences; it’s about our heart-attitude before God. There are many elements to worship; but they all serve to honor and glorify God and edify others.

    This morning, we’re going to continue our series on the five purposes of the church by looking at worship. In the song “The Heart of Worship,” Matt Redman sings, “I’ll bring You more than a song, for a song in itself is not what You have required. You search much deeper within, through the way ...read more

    "Evangelism is the ultimate goal of the kingdom focused church, and everything the church does has to contribute one way or another to reaching that goal. It’s also true that church growth without evangelism is impossible" - Gene Mims

    This morning we’ll be viewing the purpose of “evangelism.” So, what is evangelism? In his book, The Kingdom Focused Church, Gene Mims (a former President of LifeWay Christian Resources) defines evangelism as “the process of sharing the gospel with the lost and winning them to Christ, thereby ...read more

    While Jesus healed the sick and delivered the demon-possessed at every opportunity, that was not his main purpose. His main purpose was to preach.

    Scripture Reading: Mark 1:29-39 As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she ...read more

     | 1,407 views

    Message introduces a series examining the Gifts of the Spirit. In the first half, the series entitled Foundations for Worship is reviewed, teaching the relational nature of the gifts. In the second half, God's purpose for the gifts is explained.

    Intro Today, we begin a series on the gifts of the Spirit. This is a challenging subject because the goal is not just more knowledge about the gifts but knowledge that releases us into the actual exercise of the gifts in our personal lives and in the corporate life of this church. “Be ye doers of ...read more
