New Vision Erie - The Morning Message

Nobody truly enjoys bland, watery, weak coffee. We crave the robust, rich, strong brew. There is a significant sense of identity in that flavor of coffee. So it is in the life of those whom God calls. We are made to be rich, robust and bold in Him. This weeks message is a response to the horrific act of Christian persecution on the UCC campus.

Did you know healing is intertwined with forgiveness? It produces a certain attitude in us. This weeks message completes our series on forgiveness. Looking at the passage in Luke 17 we must determine that Kneeling down is the first step to getting up.

Last week we talked about to whom much is forgiven much is loved. Now as we venture through this topic of forgiveness we need to discuss our role in forgiveness to others. There is this mandate for us to extend it to others. If we don't what happens? Is it really that important?

This is pt1 of 3 in our new series. Forgiveness changes and shapes us all. This forgiveness should stir something deep within our heart. Those whom are forgiven much, love much.

Work is a four letter word we don't like to talk about. The biblical story of work is that it too got disfigured because of sin. Work was cursed. Today's sermon hopefully provides a more redeemed perspective on work.

Just pure awesomeness...

Are we called to be punching bags, door mats, warm bodies for emotionalally draining leaches? No?! What do we do to establish healthy boundaries in our lives? This weeks sermon explores what a healthy relationship should look like.

The practice of intercession involves seeking and listening to the Lord as we capture His heart. How do you practice this today? This weeks message gives a more in-depth look on this topic.

At the cross God takes something horrific, something cruel, something meant for death and creates life! He created beauty out of ashes. That is one prime example of why we say God is all about beauty. We love beauty. We thrive on finding the beauty that is in this world. There is a deep need for us to have a theology of the beautiful and this week we unpack what exactly that is.

The fallout from #FMGC2015 was incredible. Today's sermon moves us into the conversation of multiplication. All life has seeds and at the center of all life is multiplication. It has been written into our very purpose. New Vision is about making disciples who make disciples.
