Mission
The framework of our mission is to bring order to chaos–but where is my specific role within that framework? In this message we'll consider how we can leverage our life to most effectively introduce order into chaos.
Do you fear failure? The good news of the Bible is that God does not make failures, and he does not want you to fail. In fact, he wants you to succeed! In this message we'll consider what it is he wants you to be successful at.
Jesus tells a parable of some tenants in a vineyard, and the religious leaders know he's talking about them. In the story, the tenants refuse to give the owner his just due, and when the owner sends his son to them, they kill him hoping to obtain the inheritance. The tenants end up being removed from the vineyard, they are destroyed, and the owner gives the land to someone else. If we understand that the Father is the Owner, and the Son is the heir, how should that impact the way we live in this new vineyard built on Christ?
Jesus calls his first disciples to be fisher's of men. But what if they never caught any "fish"? What if they never even went to the lake?
Is the Gospel the beginning of the story or is it the conclusion? How you answer that question will determine how you live in 2012.
