Building with God (Part 2)

Mike Sullivan

Ephesians 4:11-16

God works through people to build his church--not just people we see up front teaching and leading, but all Christians. This has implications for the church as a whole and for us as individuals. We need to be in tune to leading from the Holy Spirit, stay connected to Christ, speak the truth in love, and be aware of and actively use our spiritual gifts to serve and build up others.

The Prayer of a Servant

Mike Sullivan

Mark 4:21-34

In Jesus, we see a perfect model of a life of ministry dependent of the Holy Spirit, rooted in prayer. Christians today are also called to love and serve others through the power of the Holy Spirit, who supplies all we need when resources and power are otherwise scarce. Three key attitudes when asking God to help us serve others are to have a willingness to serve, to recognize our helplessness, and to be shamelessly audacious in prayer.

The Holy Spirit

Gary DeLashmutt

Luke 11:1-13

A passage concerning what Jesus taught about the Holy Spirit's future role in His followers' lives. It's a promise of the Holy Spirit's provision for Christians who serve others. If we want to be effective servants, three attitudes are necessary: 1) willingness to serve; 2) seeing our helplessness in meeting people's deepest needs; and 3) shameless audacity in asking God for help. When we ask Him in faith, He will give us whatever provision of the Holy Spirit we need in order to serve others as His representatives.\r\n

Being a "Doer":Inclusiveness and Compassion

Dennis McCallum

James 2:1-13

God calls us to not show personal favoritism. We are not to make distinctions between ourselves based on race or gender or wealth or any other factor. When we do not take our identity from God, we create an arbitrary identity focused on being important in some way and not on loving others. People are equal because they are created in the image of God.

Freedom Without Judgment

Chris Hearty

Romans 15:1-2

Within God's realm of moral truth, we have extraordinary freedom of conscience. Only, we are not free to impose our conscience upon all other Christians. Nor do we have the freedom to judge the weaker conscience of another believer in Christ. Instead, we are to sacrifice our personal freedom in order to serve the weaker person in love.

The Body of Christ

Chris Hearty

Romans 12:3-21

The Body of Christ is filled with people with many diverse giftings, supernaturally empowered to serve the Body of Christ as well as the world at large. Every member of the Body has a unique role that they can fulfill to demonstrate the love of God to a lost world. God is calling each one of us in the Body to step out in faith and let our love for one another shine brightly in a dark world.

Biblical Love

James Rochford

Romans 13:8-10

Paul writes that the summation of the Old Testament law is to "love your neighbor as yourself." In order to live out this biblical command we must understand what biblical love is, why we should practice it, and how. Although counter-intuitive, both the Bible and secular researchers claim that a life of sacrificially serving others is the key to fulfillment.

Transformation Turning Point

Chris Hearty

Romans 12:1-2

Chapters 1 through 11 of Romans is an exposition of the incredible mercies of God. In Chapter 12, Paul exhorts us, based on all that God has done for us, to give our entire lives to serving God. Many Christians mistakenly believe engaging in worship is an isolated event, distinct from our other Christian or worldly activities. The book of Romans refutes this idea that reduces worship to merely singing, dancing or praising God. Romans, instead, is consistent with the rest of the New Testament that presents worship as giving our whole lives to living in obedience to God. It is a life of lived out every day in thankfulness.
