Blueprint Church
As we conclude our series, Sent Ones, Pastor Lewis reminds us of Moses’ call to the people to reproduce covenant faithfulness to God in each season of life.
If we stay present in our everyday lives we will make a lasting impact in our church and in our community.
Marriage is God’s original plan for spreading His glory around the world. In this sermon, Pastor Jorge walks through principles every marriage is meant to have, and then dives into a specific marriage in the New Testament to give an understanding of what marriage on mission looks like.
A movement that is sparked by the Holy Spirit using the Word of God is going to be sustained by Holy Spirit using the Word of God. This sermon walks through the movement of the Holy Spirit in the city of Ephesus.
Women disciples are responsible for much of the advance of the gospel in human history, but since historians have favored men in their recounting, only heaven will reveal how indebted the world is to the witness of women.
Jesus engaged, valued, and ascribed worth to a kind of woman that others look down on; a woman that Jesus sought to redeem, renew, and reveal himself through.
The incarnation is there very means God uses to bring us to Himself. In the same way, we are to pitch our tents among the lost and broken, so that we can bring them to Him.
As Sent Ones, we are to embrace our role as Resident Aliens, striving to be fluent in the language of our culture and yet, recognizably different.
From the beginning, God’s plan was to redeem mankind to Himself.
As we conclude our series in Romans, we are reminded to live in light of the Gospel by committing to Biblical doctrine and depending on God in order to live for His sake.
God’s design is that we strive together in love. God has called us to a people, with a people.
The harmonizing of Jew and Gentile voice brings more glory to God than the solo Jewish voice.
Choosing to be “right” can be wrong, and even anti-Christian, if you’re not considering how your decisions affect others.
As believers and followers of Christ, we are to welcome one another in love.
The conscience is the compass of your heart shaped by your value system or world views, and as a result it shapes how you navigate the affairs of life.
The resurrection is essential to the Gospel and our faith.
Love is a commitment and should be the most distinguishable brand that marks us as a Christian.
Pastor Ryan McCammack reflects on his time at Blueprint Church as he shares his last sermon before launching his church plant, Gospel Hope.
In light of God's mercies, we ought to live for Him.
If God can turn Israel’s rejection into a blessing for the world, how much more do you think God can do through their repentance?
True relationship is motivated by healthy shame. In this section of Romans, Paul compares and contrasts the religious efforts of the Jews to the healthy humility of the Gentiles.
Part of what makes God glorious is his absolute freedom. God gives mercy to whomever He wills; this itself is an aspect of his Godness.
We must trust that God is faithful to keep His promises.
If God is for us, we are able to endure any type of suffering.
If we are to suffer well, we must believe God’s Truth in the midst of pain.
We cannot learn to live life according to the logic of the Gospel, if we are not living life according to the Holy Spirit.
A soul and heart free from condemnation should give us a greater love for God.
The problem is not the Law, but that we’re utterly sinful. What are we to do? Confess our sins, receive the confessions of others, and rehearse our new identity in Christ.
The greatest transformation is when God takes a dead sinner and transforms them into someone who has a heart for Him.
“The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him- and of her. In all her prayers and labors this should have first place.” A.W. Tozer
The greatest gift is the indescribable gift of salvation in Christ Jesus. May we not just receive this gift, but live out of its abundance in every step that we take in life.
We should be amazed by God's grace, not only because of the miraculous gift of salvation, but of the benefits that we get to experience as a result.
To become proficient in any language you have to know it’s grammar. Grammar is the structure or the rules by which the system of language works. In Chapter 3 of Romans we have the basic grammar of the Gospel, these are the concepts and doctrines upon which the whole system is built. If we do not learn them well, our Gospel will lack clarity; it will create confusion in our hearts and we will often be lost when it comes time to communicate the Gospel to the deeper matters of life.
We all are needy before God and one another, but we often fall short of expressing our neediness. We can practice our neediness by confessing it to one another, crying out to Christ, and embracing our mutually brokenness. The podcast below is the application portion of the sermon.

As humans, we have three common substitute saviors: knowledge, ritual, and rhetoric– all of which cannot save us. We must look to Jesus to save us and we can practically do that by: preaching the Gospel to ourselves, one another, and to the world.
Grieved by the state of our nation and the division that has been exposed as a result of the election, Pastor Dhati calls believers to proactively pursue peace by becoming advocates, not agitators. He extracts 10 principles from the example of Paul in the Book of Philemon, who advocates for a run-away slave to be received as a brother.
Too often we want to be treated impartially because we think we are deserving. However, Romans 2 explains that mankind is on the same level playing field. All of mankind commits the same sins, will be evaluated by the same standard, and has access to the same Jesus.
In the context of Romans 1, homosexuality is a living parable of man’s main problem: humanity’s rebellion against God. It’s a picture of the ultimate thing that “ought not to be done”, to live life as though God isn’t there.
The Good News saves us and directs us how to live. Though we may be shamed for the Gospel, we can live unashamed of it.
This is the first half of an incredible sermon by Pastor Dhati Lewis. Unfortunately the file became corrupt in the recording process. We included his sermon outline below. Pastor Dhati intros his message by sharing the history of Blueprint Church and our calling as a local church in a gentrifying community. He later brings the message back to Romans, emphasizing Paul’s posture, purpose, and passion in regards to seeking partnership with the Churches in Rome.

In this mini-sermon, Pastor Dhati breaks down what a Missional Community is, and what it is not.

One of the great spiritual blessings and resources that God has blessed us with are friends- brothers and sisters in Christ, other believers, the body.
What makes prayer explicitly Christian is not the fact that we pray, but who we pray to. It’s not just prayer for prayers sake, it’s prayer to our Father.
We faithfully manage our time, talent, and treasure as resources for God's purposes.
We intentionally seek to make disciples where we live, work, and play.
We are family. And as family, we actively take responsibility for one another.
