Traditional Worship | Bishop Bob Hayes | Have you ever asked yourself, “Why does the church exist?” Other than the obvious answer of transforming lives and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, what is a vibrant church called to be or do? Our mission statement of “Reaching People for Jesus Christ, Discipling Them in Faith, and Helping Those in Need” gives us a great start, but is there something more beyond our horizon that God is calling us to see or be engaged in? These are the questions we want to answer in this current capital campaign sermon series, Beyond. This is our moment to boldly pursue God's greater purpose for us, and in doing so, we might also discover how God is leading us to step out in faith. Welcome to Traditional worship. We're glad you're here.

Such an important conversation for you today! NYC Pastor Paul Murphy joined us to share his story and to talk about the importance of evangelism as a way of life. We primarily discuss why and how our (Dutch) Reformed Churches struggle to evangelize and do it well. We also get into what truly should motivate evangelism: love for God and love for the lost. We hope this episode encourages and inspires you to really think about your love for the lost and the importance of sharing the Gospel, for it truly is a matter of life or death. Check out Rev. Murphy's booklet “A Humble Effort to Promote Local Evangelism” https://www.bethelurcaylmer.com/uploads/7/9/8/6/79863340/ahumbleefforttopromotelocalevangelismbooklet.pdf 0:00 - Intro 9:00 - Paul's Conversion 16:43 - Evangelism vs. Missions 18:00 - “The Missional Church” 25:00 - Programming Hearts 37:00 - Seeker Sensitive 40:00 - Heart of Worship 45:00 - Great Commission 55:00 - Retaining the Youth 1:03:00 - Reaching People, not Targets 1:10:00 - Being a Steward in Evangelism 1:15:00 - Fear of God 1:23:00 - Indifference 1:29:00 - Hell A BIG THANKS TO OUR OFFICIAL SPONSOR, TRIVAN!

God uses and chooses people to reveal himself to others. Reminds us that God is faithful even when we are not.
God chooses to use people to reach people with the gospel.
“Reach isn't a measure or a strategy for how we get bigger. Reach is a measure of what we're willing to care about.” “We have to wage war against regret.” “We break the patterns of the past by choosing to be faithful in the moment.” Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Background 07:27 Reaching People and Caring for Their Needs 09:07 Walking with People and Being Helpful 17:19 The Importance of Surrender 23:17 Choosing a Word of the Year 27:58 Living a Life of Beauty and Generosity 30:37 The Power of a Single Word 32:27 Being Intentional and Generative 36:39 Disrupting Old Patterns and Finding Peace 39:43 The Process of Encounter, Formation, and Expression 50:02 Being Cool and Embracing Authenticity Episode Summary: Mike Ashcraft, senior pastor at Port City Community Church, shares his journey and insights on generous leadership. He emphasizes the importance of reaching people and caring about their needs, rather than focusing on building something big. Mike also discusses the value of walking with people and not standing on issues, as well as the significance of surrender and choosing a word of the year. He encourages individuals to focus on who they want to be and to live a life of beauty and generosity. In this conversation, Mike Ashcraft discusses the power of choosing a single word to guide and shape our lives. He emphasizes the importance of being intentional and generative in our actions and thoughts. Mike also shares insights on disrupting old patterns, finding peace in the present moment, and the process of encounter, formation, and expression. He encourages us to be cool and not let our emotions dictate our responses. Ultimately, Mike wants to be remembered as someone who was authentic and actively worked towards becoming the person he aspired to be. R.O.G. Takeaway Tips: Reaching people is about caring for their needs and extending ourselves towards them. Walking with people involves being helpful and asking how we can support them. Surrendering involves trusting God with different aspects of our lives and offering ourselves as a living sacrifice. Choosing a word of the year helps deepen our awareness and focus on who we want to be. Living a life of beauty and generosity involves offering something that isn't necessarily productive or efficient. Choose a single word to guide and shape your life. Be intentional and generative in your actions and thoughts. Disrupt old patterns and find peace in the present moment. Embrace the process of encounter, formation, and expression. Be cool and don't let emotions dictate your responses. Strive to be authentic and actively work towards becoming the person you aspire to be. Guest Bio: Mike Ashcraft serves as the senior pastor at Port City Community Church which he helped start in 1999. He is the author of To Be Concluded and My One Word, as well as a children's picture book, The Bright Idea. He married Julie, his high school sweetheart, in 1992. They grew up in Atlanta and relocated near the beach in southeastern North Carolina. They enjoy family time with their two daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. The beach is Mike's happy place and surfing is the only hobby he needs.

This is Pastor Tom Arnould welcoming you to the Good News Radio broadcast. In Isaiah 43, God declares, "I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west.

Join me for the message, "Gathering the Harvest."

In this episode, we dive into the concept of a church not solely relying on the pastor for leadership. We'll explore: Sharing the Load: Discover how churches can distribute leadership tasks and responsibilities more effectively among members. We'll discuss practical ways to empower people to use their gifts and talents within the church, with insights from Jeff and examples like hospitality leadership at our Parkland campus. Biblical Basis: Is there a biblical foundation for a more shared leadership model in churches? We'll examine scripture and how pastors can leverage it to encourage this approach, building on our exploration of the early church during the All In series and Lonnie's message on the Body of Christ working together in unity. Overcoming Pastor-Centricity: Learn strategies for overcoming a culture that has become too focused on the pastor as the sole leader. Benefits of Shared Leadership: We'll highlight the benefits of a more shared leadership model for both the church and its members. Join us as we unpack these topics and more, aiming to foster a healthier, more inclusive church community.
This week we have a candid conversation about mental health after the storm, not taking "people's word for it" if God says otherwise, social media influencers and what can be the negative side of it, and morals changing in society by the day.
