Holding different convictions is a reality in the church. We will hold different opinions in many areas and this has the potential to cause not just cause strife, but division in the church. In order to love one another well and have our love witness to others, we cannot avoid this reality. We dive into this challenging topic by looking at Romans 14 and how scripture calls us to hold our convictions with one another.
In a world experiencing so much division, as Christians we have the opportunity to show the world Jesus through how we respond. We have given the Holy Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit are our guide to how we should act and react to the world around us. This week Gene Enns from Clearwater College specifically looks at love, joy, and peace and how we see this fruit manifested in God.
There are “5 D’s” in our lives that threaten to diminish and weaken our faith. How do we live with BIG FAITH amidst the reality of distress, despair, doubt, distraction, and disillusionment? By looking at examples of each of these in Matthew ‘s gospel we see how Jesus encourages us to live with big faith amidst these days.
“To Live is Christ, to Die is Gain” We have heard this phrase in church many times before. But in the times we are in it can take on a whole new meaning. We easily get caught up in our personal ideologies and forget our purpose and why we are here. Listen this week as Pastor Paul takes us through Paul’s life in the book of Acts, his purpose, and what we know to be true.
As we enter into a New Year filled with once again a fair degree to uncertainty, how can we live in a such a way that deepens our dependance on Jesus and our relationship with Him? Pastor Paul unpacks portions of 1 Timothy 4 to provide some answers to the question, how can we diligently persevere in 2022?
