Love one another is the most often used expression of the One Another’s in the bible. The question, what is the difference between what the bible says love is, and what the world thinks.

Our reading will come from 1 Thes 4:9-12

This first message comes from Hebrews 10:19-25, in particular, vv. 24-25. A spiritual community can’t spiritual grow together if they do not spend time together and with Jesus as our focus.

The title of the first message is “Spiritual Growth through Sharing.” The two sub-points are 1. Time together helps us abound in love and good works. 2. Time together builds courage in uncertain times.

We will also have Communion this week.

We will be looking at the conversations that Jesus had with all types of people while they shared a meal. The question today, what would “being at the Table with Jesus” look like in our lives?

Jesus calls this the great commandment.

The negative side of this as the parable illustrates is Static Preservation and a distorted vision of God.

Our reading this week will come from Luke 19:11-27.

At what point do we get involved with people who are not part of our church? What is the tipping point?

Our reading will come from Eph 2:8-10; and Matthew 9:36-38.

This is another missional message (the church does not primarily send missionaries, but is sent).

There are 6 core values of being missional.
1. Build Proximity to sinners (move into the neighborhood)
2. Practice the presence of God
3. Understand Prevenient grace (God precedes us in all missional enterprises)
4. Relate with Powerlessness (the virtue of humility which eliminates the us versus them mentality)
5. Proclamation of the Good News of Jesus. (Both announce and demonstrate it)
6. Passion for kingdom building (the nurturing, care, and building of communities as if they are God’s garden)

Our reading this week will come from Luke 7:36-50.

Join us this Sunday morning at 10:45am for this new message from Pastor Paul Kozar.
