Mike Harrelson - February 15th 2026 Drift is quiet — but repentance restores joy and sends us back on mission. This week, Mike walks us through the life of King David (2 Samuel 11–12; Psalm 51; Revelation 2), exposing the subtle danger of spiritual drift. Like a surfer slowly carried away from the lifeguard tower, drift rarely feels dramatic — it's gradual, quiet, and often disguised as comfort, busyness, or even religious activity. Mike shows how David's greatest failure didn't begin with adultery or murder — it began with absence. He stayed home when kings went to war. From there, one quiet compromise led to devastating consequences that affected everyone around him. Drift is never private. But the story doesn't end there. Through Psalm 51, we hear what real repentance sounds like — confession, humility, a broken spirit, and a desperate plea: “Restore the joy of your salvation to me.” David models that restoration begins not with activity, but with a humble heart. When joy is restored, mission follows. The message closes with a powerful reminder from Revelation 2: Jesus calls His people to remember, repent, and return to their first love. Our hope is not in drifting less — it is in fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Son of David, who never drifted and now intercedes for us. As a church stepping intentionally into mission (including Alpha), this sermon asks two honest questions: How's your joy? And, Who in your life is God pursuing — and how can you join Him?

When God calls us to His mission, He also empowers us to do the mission.

Why does the mission matter? Why does the world need it? Where does the power come from? TJ Tingson answers these questions in week 2 of our series, "The Mission".

# Our Mission: Telling the Truth of God's Salvation In the fourth week of our mission series, we delve into the critical importance of truth-telling within the Christian faith. Using the story from **2 Kings 7** as a foundation, we explore how sharing the truth of God's salvation is not just a privilege but a duty. ## The Story of the Four Lepers The sermon recounts the story from **2 Kings 7:3-10**, where four lepers, outcasts from their community, stumble upon the abandoned camp of the Arameans. God had caused the Arameans to flee, leaving behind all their provisions. The lepers, initially keeping the discovery to themselves, eventually realize the importance of sharing this life-saving news with their city. - **2 Kings 7:3-4**: The lepers face a dire choice—stay and die, enter a besieged city and die, or surrender to the Arameans, who might spare them. - **2 Kings 7:5-8**: Upon discovering the deserted camp, they find food, clothing, and wealth, recognizing the abundance of God's provision. - **2 Kings 7:9**: They acknowledge their moral responsibility to share the good news, fearing the question, "Why didn't you tell us?" ## The Mission of Truth-Telling The story of the lepers is a powerful metaphor for the Christian mission. Just as the lepers found salvation and abundance, Christians have found salvation through Jesus Christ. The sermon emphasizes: - **Truth and Freedom**: Truth-telling is essential because it offers freedom to those who hear it. Without sharing the truth, people remain "trapped in the dark city," unaware of the salvation available to them. - **Mission of the Church**: The overarching mission is to make friends, meet needs, and make disciples. This involves sharing the truth of the human condition and the transformative hope found in Jesus Christ. - **Avoiding Regret**: By sharing the truth, believers avoid the regret of having someone ask, "Why didn't you tell me?" This question signifies a missed opportunity to guide someone to freedom. ## Application to Our Lives The sermon challenges us to reflect on our position in the story: 1. **Outside the City Gates**: Some may still be seeking answers from the world, unaware of the salvation offered through Christ. 2. **In the Camp**: Believers enjoying the blessings of salvation but keeping it to themselves. 3. **On the Road to the City**: Those who actively share the truth of God's salvation, fulfilling their mission. ## Conclusion The call to action is clear: we must not remain silent. The truth of God's salvation through Jesus Christ is a "day of good news" that we are compelled to share. By doing so, we not only fulfill our mission but also experience the joy and freedom of knowing we have done our part in God's plan. The sermon concludes with an invitation to reflect on where we stand in our journey of faith and encourages us to step boldly into the mission of truth-telling for the glory of God and the good of those we love.

# Our Mission: Meeting Needs with Wisdom and Generosity In the second week of our mission series, we explored the theme of meeting needs with wisdom and generosity. The sermon was anchored in the story of Jesus healing the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda from **John 5:1-15**. This narrative provided a backdrop to discuss how we as a community can discern which needs to meet and how to do so in a way that aligns with God's will. ## Key Themes ### 1. **Understanding Needs vs. Resources** One of the challenges highlighted is that needs often outpace available resources. This is akin to the eternal balance between questions and answers. There will always be more needs than what can be met, just as there are more questions than answers. Jesus himself acknowledged this reality in **Matthew 26:11** when he said, "The poor you will always have with you." This indicates the perpetual presence of need in our world. ### 2. **Determining Which Needs to Meet** The sermon emphasized the importance of discerning which needs to address. Not every need is meant to be met by us because need itself can be a catalyst for change. Jesus, although capable, did not heal every person he encountered. This selective approach is seen in **John 5:1-15**, where Jesus heals one man among many at Bethesda. This teaches us that sometimes, the presence of unmet needs can lead individuals to turn towards God, seeking hope and placing their faith in Jesus. ### 3. **The Role of Generosity** Generosity is a hallmark of God's children, as seen in **1 John 3:16-18**. Meeting needs should start within the family of believers, ensuring that our brothers and sisters in faith are cared for first. This practice reflects the love of Christ, who laid down his life for us. When we see a brother or sister in need and have the means to help, we should act with compassion and not merely with words. ### 4. **Practical Steps for Meeting Needs** - **Eagerly Practice Generosity:** Be actively looking for opportunities to give, as God loves a cheerful giver. - **Start with Family:** Prioritize meeting the needs of those within our church family, as instructed in **1 Timothy 5:3-4**. - **Evaluate Needs:** Discern whether meeting a specific need will empower or enable the person. This involves asking if the help provided will be a "hand up" rather than a "hand out." - **Support Those Who Cannot Help Themselves:** As **James 1:27** states, pure religion involves looking after orphans and widows in distress. - **Respond to God's Prompting:** When God lays a need on your heart, act on it, trusting that He is inviting you to join Him in His work. ## Conclusion Meeting needs is a complex but vital aspect of our mission. As we strive to make friends and make disciples, we must approach this task with wisdom, ensuring that our efforts are fruitful and God-glorifying. Through our generosity, we not only meet immediate needs but also point others to Jesus, who meets our deepest need for forgiveness and reconciliation with God. Let us be faithful stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us, investing in His kingdom and expanding His glory on earth as it is in heaven.

Whereas the mission and direction of a company, philanthropic organization, or corporation might change over time, the mission of Christ's church is unwavering and unchanging. We exist to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ. That is the true, God-given, and unwavering mission of every church, everywhere, for all time. We pause our series in Hebrews to spend the next three weeks revisiting the what and how of our mission: Life Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who Treasure Christ, Grow Together, and Live On Mission.Together, we will Live On Mission from John 13:1-17.I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Ephesians 5:25Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4Life Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who treasure Christ, grow together, and live on mission.

# Our Mission: Making Friends In this first week of our new series on "Our Mission," we explore the profound theme of friendship within the church community. Drawing from biblical narratives, we discuss how the church can address the pervasive loneliness in our world today by fostering genuine friendships. ## Key Biblical Passages - **Job 1:1** - The story of Job, a man of integrity who faced immense suffering. - **Mark 2:1-12** - The account of the paralytic man and his friends who brought him to Jesus. ## The Mission of the Church The mission of the church is to free people from their "grave clothes," symbolizing the vestments of a life bound by sin, and to help them live the victorious life offered by Jesus. This mission is encapsulated in our church's approach: **making friends, meeting needs, and making disciples**. ### Making Friends The concept of a "God-shaped hole" in every human heart is well-known, but Pastor Chris introduces another critical void: the "human-shaped hole." God designed us to be enriched and fulfilled through human relationships, as evidenced in the creation narrative where God declared it "not good for man to be alone" (**Genesis 2:18**). ### The Epidemic of Loneliness Despite being the most connected generation, society suffers from an epidemic of loneliness. Statistics reveal that 30% of people experience extreme loneliness, with young adults aged 18-24 being the loneliest group. This loneliness leads to various societal issues, including lower educational performance and higher crime rates, as noted by Robert Putnam in his book, *Bowling Alone*. ### Friendship in Community Friendship takes on different forms throughout our lives, but true friendship is marked by the ability to call on someone in times of need. The church is called to fill the "human-shaped hole" by being a community where anyone can find friendship and support. ## Lessons from Biblical Friendships ### Job's Friends Initially, Job's friends demonstrated true friendship by simply being present with him in his suffering (**Job 2:11-13**). However, they later failed by offering judgmental sermons instead of compassionate support, focusing on the reasons for Job's suffering rather than seeking resolution. ### The Paralytic's Friends In contrast, the paralytic's friends in **Mark 2:1-12** exemplified true friendship by prioritizing resolution over reasons. They went to great lengths to bring their friend to Jesus, demonstrating faith and compassion without seeking recognition for themselves. ## Maxims of Friendship 1. **Resolution Over Reasons**: Focus on helping rather than analyzing the cause of someone's predicament. 2. **Service Over Sermons**: Offer practical support and understanding rather than judgment. 3. **Compassion Over Comparison**: Show genuine empathy without comparing oneself to others. ## Conclusion The church is entrusted with the mission of making friends to combat loneliness and establish credibility for the gospel message. By embodying these principles, we can point others to Jesus, who fills the deepest needs of the heart. As a church, let us commit to being a community where friendship and support are readily available, fulfilling our mission to make disciples through love and service.

Sunday Service: 06/15 | Life On Mission | Week 2

We are in week three of our series, "Sent". Pastor Dave teaches on the role of the Holy Spirit, working in our lives as we are empowered for God's mission. We learn through scripture how the Holy Spirit fills, unites, equips, and launches us into ministry.

Welcome to a special week 2 of our series, "Sent | Living into the Missio Dei". This week, our youth takeover everything from greeters to preaching; all done by our youth. Our preachers this morning bring us to Luke 15, reading through the Parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. We see here the heart of our Father, who calls us as believers to rejoice with those who have come to faith in Him, not to judge them on their past. Our hearts should be in line with the mission of God on setting the captives free, bringing grace and redemption to the story of the broken, and rejoicing with all of heaven when the sinner becomes a child of God! Are you postured to rejoice when the prodigal returns or are you more prone to question and to judge?
