Shifting to &, not Or gives us the ability to hold two things that seem in conflict. It allows politics to become discipleship when we express our position on an issue in a way that reflects Christ. The post E40 – &, not Or appeared first on Pulpit Rock Church in Colorado Springs.

We often get trapped by false choices - we’re constantly told we have to pick a side. But, it's okay to see things on both sides that reflect Scripture. Jesus refused to be put in a box by choosing a side. He let the Kingdom rather than the question drive His answers. The post E39 – False Choices appeared first on Pulpit Rock Church in Colorado Springs.

As believers, we want to be driven by the Kingdom and the Gospel in how we interact with our world… including politics.

The Kingdom is coming. God is at work all around us. We can be part of that work by displaying the Kingdom through who we are and who God created us to be in the world. The post E35 – Kingdom appeared first on Pulpit Rock Church in Colorado Springs.

It’s easy to anchor our identity in what we do, what we have, and what we desire. But that is not all of who we are. How can we hold on to the security of having a primary identity rooted in Christ? An identity that is not dependent on our performance or the season of life we're in. The post E34 – Identity appeared first on Pulpit Rock Church in Colorado Springs.

Identity. Victory. Kingdom. Partners. We are focusing on these four words as we pursue Kingdom culture.
