In this sermon, Karl Ihfe delves into Matthew 28:16-20, examining Jesus' appearance to his disciples on a mountain and the Great Commission. He highlights the disciples' mixed reaction of worship and doubt, drawing a parallel to Peter's experience of walking on water (Matthew 14:28-31). Ihfe emphasizes Jesus' authority over all things and His plan to use the church to spread His kingdom. The speaker challenges the notion of following Jesus without the church, stressing that Jesus' plan involves His followers working together to make disciples. He encourages graduates and all believers to see their roles in life as opportunities to bring God's kingdom to earth. Ihfe concludes by reminding the congregation of their legacy in the faith and urging them to courageously live out the Great Commission in their daily lives.   https://bwaychurch.org  

Dealing with False Teachers(1 Timothy 1:1-17) Message SlidesInterpretation - J.I. PackerFaith, Truth, and Love - Walter LiefeldFor the bulletin in PDF form, click here. Introduction: Salutation and Greeting (1:1-2)• Paul the Apostle - passing on faithful ministry • God our Savior - not Artemis or Caesar• Timothy - the next generation of ministryProblem: The False Teachers' Perversion of the Law (1:3-7)False teachers are full of confidence, arrogance, and error.• False teachers focus on fantasies rather than faith (1:3-5).• False teachers use the Scripture but do not use it correctly (1:6-7).Solution: The Proper Use of the Law (1:8-11)The function of the law is to convict sinners, not guide saints.• The proper use of the law is not to guide believers (1:8-9a).• The proper use of the law is to convict sinners of sin (1:9b-10). • The proper use of the law is compatible with the gospel (1:11).Priority: The Centrality of Grace for the Ministry of Paul (1:12-17)The grace of God manifest in Christ Jesus is the epicenter of the gospel. • The grace of God allows us to serve Him with gratitude (1:12).• The abundant grace of God flows to sinful people (1:13-14).• The gospel truth is that Christ Jesus came to save sinners (1:15-16). • The grace of the gospel leads to the praise of God (1:17).God has designed the church to be a stronghold of truth and champion of the grace of God in the gospel. Here is wisdom for the local church in every generation and in every place. Let no one say that scripture is out of date. Calvin, when dedicating his commentary to the Duke of Somerset in 1556 called this letter"highly relevant to our times". All these years later, we can make the same claim. Truly, “the Bible speaks today”. John R. W. Stott, Theologian & PastorHome Church QuestionsRead 1 Timothy 1:1-17.In Ephesus the dominant culture of the day supported the idea that yourloyalty should be to either Artemis (False Religion promising flourishing) or Caesar (False Authority promising security). Where does our culture suggest our loyalty should be placed?What is the content of false teaching in this passage?When have you encountered false teaching in the church?What are the consequences of false teaching in this passage?What criteria do you use when you hear people teaching the Bible?Why is “grace” so important for the gospel?Why is “grace” so important for sanctification? • How should we use the law today?Mission Prayer Focus: The Java Banyumasan of IndonesiaOf the approximately 9.35 million the majority identify as Muslim. Only about 20% actively practice their faith, and many blend it with animistic beliefs, including spirit worship and seeking help from shamans. While they have access to the vital ministry resources, only 2.5% are Christian adherents, and just 1.18% are evangelicals. Pray for the Java Banyumasan to recognize the truth.

Join Discipleship Pastor, Kayla Willis as she closes out our series "One Week. A Journey Through Mark 11:11-16".

Have you ever experienced the power of a true blessing? In this heartfelt Senior Sunday message, Eric shares a personal story of being blessed in a moment of fear and uncertainty — a reminder of how deeply the gift of blessing can renew and strengthen us. If you're new to faith or still exploring, this is the perfect Sunday to jump in: you'll see the heart of our church's vision — building up the next generation. Eric unpacks how God's blessing isn't just words, but a way to bring heaven's power into our lives, teaching us how to call down His joy and peace over others. You'll leave reminded that the greatest gift we can give our seniors — or anyone — is not more stuff, but the shining face of God over their lives.

How have you experienced resurrection power in your life?

Why is it important that we think and talk about this future hope we have in Christ?7. DA Carson said, “I am not suffering from anything that a good, general resurrection can't fix.” What are you looking most forward to being “fixed” by our future resurrection in Christ?8. Is it helpful to you to think about the resurrection of the past, present, and future? Explain. Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Bon Gula ChadThe Bon Gula people of Chad number approximately 3,800. Though they are nominally Sunni Muslim, most fiercely adhere to their traditional Marghai religion including sacred sites and revered animals. Only 0.42% are Christian adherents, and they have no Christian resources available in their language. With no access to the message of the gospel, the Bon Gula remain deeply unreached.

So Christ's immediate purpose in giving pastors and teachers to his church is through their ministry of the word to equip all people for their varied ministries. And the ultimate purpose of this is to build up his body, the church. In other words, the church's goal is not Christ but its own maturity in unity which comes from knowing, trusting and growing up into Christ.Home Church Questions• Read Ephesians 4:11-16.• What is your favorite part of church activities?

This is Ascension Sunday and Senior Sunday, and Ken finds some similarity between the two. Graduating high school closes a chapter, but it's not an end - it's the beginning of something else. When Jesus returned from the dead, the disciples thought he would restore Israel, but instead, he's suddenly gone, like David Blaine. The disciples are left stranded, sure that this is suddenly the end. But they're wrong. There's something they're not expecting on the horizon. Acts 1:1-13 fmhouston.com

The post Senior Sunday – Youth At Fourth – May 5, 2024 appeared first on Fourth Avenue COC.

Today, we celebrate senior Sunday with our Radite Students and hear Chip Paul, our Student Pastor, deliver a powerful sermon about chasing God's presence over our purpose. What does it truly mean to experience God's presence? Through the story of Moses leading the people of Israel, we learn the difference between presence and purpose. In the stillness of His presence, we can find clarity and direction for our purpose. It's His presence that sets us apart from the rest of the world. Are you experiencing the presence of God? Are you finding your purpose inside His presence? As always, we'd love to take the time to answer any questions you have about Jesus, so reach out today.
