The Practice of Neighboring

Jay Pathak

1 Peter 1:10-22

The practice of neighboring is engaging your neighborhood in a meaningful way by building genuine relationships right out your front door. In our culture we have under-valued the power of hospitality with our neighbors. We can reclaim the ability to influence our neighbors for Christ by moving from acquaintances to relationships by sharing meals, remembering people's names and opening up our homes to the people living in our neighborhoods.

Who Is my Neighbor in the Global Village?

Jim Leffel

Luke 10:25-37

The parable of the Good Samaritan has applications for the church today as can be seen in the priorities of Dwell Global Partnerships. Jim Leffel describes this parable in contrast to religious and secular teaching on human suffering and how biblical missions addresses the spiritual and social crises of our day. Key Christian movements in church history and initiatives from Dwell partnerships with indigenous ministries will be used to illustrate these principles.

Ministering Because I Matter

Mateo Williamson

1 Timothy 1:12-16

Do I serve God in order to matter, or because I already matter? Any Christian that is trying to serve the Lord will wrestle with this question many times over. This workshop will explore approaching ministry God's way-not to prove myself to God and others-but to "love from a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith."

The Secret of Contentment

Chris Hearty

Philippians 4:10-20

Contentment can never be achieved by always getting what you want. It must be learned through practice. Paul had learned the secret to contentment regardless of his circumstances, whether good or bad. He learned this through the Holy Spirit who strengthened him. Paul connects the state of contentment with the act of giving. When we are content, with or without, we are not afraid to give generously because we know God will provide for us. Paul calls this trusting generosity worship, a pleasing and fragrant offering to God

Joy in Sacrifice

Jim Leffel

Philippians 2:17-18

Not all sacrifice is noble or good. Some have sacrificed their lives for a lie, like Nazi soldiers in World War II. Everyone is pouring their life out for something. The question is what are you pouring your life out for? Wealth? Power? Your children? Paul poured himself out as a drink offering of thanksgiving in the service of Jesus Christ. That is something worth dying for because God has something so much better than the world has to offer.

Flourishing Spiritually in Old Age

Gary DeLashmutt

Psalms 71

Psalms 92 and 71 gives us ways to flourish spiritually as we approach our latter days. This time does not have to be a time of withdrawing and walking away from usefulness to God. Instead, it can be a time of great effectiveness in ministry and deepening closeness with the Lord as our physical and mental fitness is not what it used to be. We can actually be more effective as we depend more on the Lord than ever before.

The Humility of Jesus

Chris Hearty

Philippians 2:3-11

Jesus' life was the ultimate example of what serving love actually looks like. Paul sets the bar very high when he uses Jesus as the example for how we should have the same mindset of humility. Although he retained his divine attributes and abilities, he set them aside to live fully as a human. He did not demand his rights as the sovereign creator of the universe, but instead went to the cross to save us.

How Is Your Worldview Working Out for You?

James Rochford

Philippians 1:12-26

Our circumstances are far less important than our view of them. Paul's circumstances were far from ideal by anyone's standards. He was under house-arrest, chained to a rotating crew of Praetorian guards for close to four years. And he was under a possible death sentence! Yet, Paul was not disturbed by these circumstances. Instead, he was overjoyed at how God was bringing good things out a bad situation. The Gospel was being preached fearlessly by those believers in Rome who watched Paul's example. No matter the result of the trial, Paul viewed it as a win-win. If he is ruled innocent, then he has more time for fruitful ministry. If he is found guilty, then instantly after his execution, he will be in the presence of his beloved Savior.
