Community Renewal:Christ Is All in All

Jim Leffel

Colossians 3:10-17

As Christians, we have become a new creation in Christ, not just as individuals but also as the corporate body of Christ. We are to put on the newness of Christ not merely as individuals but as a whole community. A renewed community thrives on grace, is united through love, cultivates peace, grows in truth, and reflects Christ to others.

Be Different

Conrad Hilario

1 Peter 1:13-22

When God calls us to be holy because he is holy, he is not asking us to be different from the culture in merely superficial ways like clothing choices or refraining from cussing. He is calling us to stand out by having higher values and a fervent love for others. If you let God transform your values and grow you in your ability to love others, you will be different in a very good way.

A Different Way to Live

Scott Risley

1 Peter 1:10-22

Sometimes Christians try to stand out and be different from the world but they end up being weird. Since one becomes a new creation upon salvation, Christians should be different in a good way. because we live during a unique era, we are headed for a unique destination, our God is totally unique and we have been given a unique identifier: love. God is love. What impression will we leave?

Walking with Christ

Jim Leffel

Colossians 2:1-7

The continuity of grace is a process that God has us on as we walk with Jesus. This process involves us responding to what God has done for us, by receiving from him and being rooted in him, being strengthened by interwoven lives, and having complete confidence through understanding of his mysterious plan in Christ.

Entering God's Rest

Chris Risley

Hebrews 4:9-11

The promise of God's rest is appealing but can be surprisingly difficult to understand and experience. This workshop explores the idea of God's rest using passages like Hebrews 3-4 and Matthew 11, examines how to recognize if we are or are not experiencing God's rest and provides help for leading others into this blessing from God.

Jesus and Zacchaeus

Ben Foust

Luke 19:1-10

The lesson we can learn from Jesus' interaction with Zacchaeus, the tax collector, is if you are lost, Jesus is seeking you. The way Jesus initiated with the this most hated man is typical of his posture toward all people. He showed him mercy, grace, honor, and acceptance, as well as included him in the family of God. Jesus' only prerequisite is to acknowledge your "lostness." Being "found" by Jesus dramatically changes the course of people's lives just as it did with Zacchaeus, who made four-fold restitution and gave away half his possessions after being "found."

Jesus and Saul

Ben Foust

Acts 9:1-27

The story of Saul's radical transformation from an enemy of God who persecuted the early church with vengeance to his becoming the foremost evangelist who died proclaiming the Good News is a showcase for how God's grace and mercy can change anyone, even the one who is least likely in our eyes. Sometimes our spiritual passions are misplaced and don't align with God's plans for us. God's mercy and grace is nothing short of scandalous. No one is too much an enemy of God to be accepted by God. His invitation stand today for each and every person.

The Good News of Christ

Jim Leffel

Colossians 1:1-8

Paul was grateful for the Colossian church for the way they were bearing fruit after hearing and understanding the gospel. They embraced a living hope that was at that time unimaginable to the Greek culture. Their faith, hope and love resonated with spiritual seekers. This living hope changed them and knit them together in community that was attractive to their neighbors.
