We continue our series on Paul's letters to the church he's planted in Corinth. Today we are reminded that this is all about Him, not about us. This life with Jesus is centred on the cross and on our surrender to Christ as Lord.
Recall that one of the hallmarks of pure and undefiled religion in the Father's sight is to "bridle one's tongue." Practically, James has already called his hearers to be quick to hear and slow to speak. Now James really steps on toes as he calls his hearers to examine the use of their tongues. Jesus said that it is out of the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks, and James fleshes out some practical implications of this. We'll consider our own use of our tongues and, where necessary, practice openhanded confession and repentance.

Ben unpacks for us what it means to live the way of the cross in the midst of a culture seeking attention - it seems foolishness to some and offensive to others but to those who believe it is the power of God.
If we're saved through faith alone (as we saw in Galatians), why does James say "a person is justified by works and not by faith alone"? Join in as we explore perhaps the best-known challenge in the book of James and continue seeking to develop True Wisdom for living out our faith every day.

We begin a new series of Paul's letters to the Corinthian church he planted. It's beautiful, challenging and messy as Paul calls them (and of course us) to be the kind of people Jesus has called them to be.
What if the answer isn't more advice—but wisdom and revelation from God?In this message from IN CHRIST: A Study Through Ephesians, Pastor Jon Purkey finishes Ephesians 1 and unpacks Paul's prayer in Ephesians 1:15–23.Paul wasn't praying that believers would simply get more.He prayed that God would give them wisdom and revelation so the eyes of their hearts would be flooded with light—and they could finally recognize what God had already placed within their reach through Christ.Revelation allows you to see what was already there.Wisdom teaches you what to do with what you now see.This message challenges us to move from simply believing in Jesus to actively following Jesus—praying for people, walking in love, listening to the Holy Spirit, making disciples and carrying the Gospel beyond the walls of the church.You'll also discover why your present circumstances cannot cancel God's calling over your life and why believers don't have to beg God for power He has already made available through Christ.The same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in those who believe.You don't just need to know more.You need your eyes opened to who you already are and what you already carry IN CHRIST.Scripture: Ephesians 1:15–23, Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:19Series: IN CHRIST — A Study Through EphesiansIf this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs it and continue the full IN CHRIST series.Nexus ChurchSunday Gathering — 10 AMTuesday Prayer — 7 PMGive and learn more at nexuskc.com/givePlunder Hell.

After our first two weeks of having introduced the topics James will cover in his letter, we'll turn our attention to a practice that is absolutely incompatible with faith in Jesus Christ. It's incredibly natural for us to act this way and it actually reveals our own self-interested hearts. It makes us judges with evil motives and just cannot fit with true faith. What is it? Join in as we learn about it and diagnose our own hearts!

Do you feel like you are flourishing in life? Ben takes us through the final part of Jesus' teachings in the 'Sermon on the Mount'. The call of the kingdom is super challenging but it is the way to life. Will we choose it?
Welcome to the first episode of the Everywhere Every Day Podcast! In this episode, Ethan Crowder and Casey Sherman sit down to talk about what it means to enjoy Jesus by really following Him everywhere, every day. They walk through the four-part strategy Central has been exploring together as a church: Sunday Gathering, Central Circle, Central Equip, and Neighbor Network. This conversation goes beyond simply explaining the strategy. Ethan and Casey talk about why the church matters, why we need one another, how we can use the unique gifts God has given us, and what it looks like to take what we learn on Sunday into Monday and every day that follows. They also talk about reaching the people God has already placed around us and how our mission is both local and global. Whether you've been at Central for years or you're just getting connected, we hope this conversation encourages you to take another step toward really following Jesus—not just on Sundays, but everywhere, every day.

The Course tells us that our brother is our savior. But what happens when we've decided that someone is guilty, dangerous, or undeserving? In this episode, a sermon from a recent Sunday Gathering, we'll explore the Course's laws of chaos section and the striking progression by which the ego turns a Son of God into an enemy whose suffering seems justified. At the heart of the episode is a question worth asking ourselves: Who have I decided is not my brother - and why? ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

If we're honest with ourselves, we've all lost time to worry. Whether it's relational worry, financial, school or work related. Something causes us to lose sleep or lose focus. Jesus knew we'd worry and in Matthew 6:25-34, He speaks directly to our worry, fear, and anxiety.__________Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

Our dream is that everyone showing up at North Platte Berean would be growing in relationship with Jesus Christ through His word and prayer in community. As each of us consider what this looks like for us this school year, we'll take a look at Paul's words to the church in Colossae, as he calls them to make Christ central in every aspect of life, including their relationships (or community). With this, we'll consider some tangible steps and opportunities for everyone to consider as we pursue this mission together.

For two thousand years, we've known Jesus as Messiah, Son of God, Lord and Savior. But somewhere along the way, another Jesus largely disappeared from view: Jesus the Teacher. In this message from a Sunday Gathering sermon, we explore what happened to that Jesus and why recovering him matters now. Drawing on Robert's forthcoming book, The Teacher: Reclaiming the Original Message of Jesus of Nazareth, we'll return to the Gospels and encounter a Jesus who taught an astonishing vision of how to be in this world and why it matters now. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Proverbs 4:23 confidently asserts: "Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life." At the beginning of this summer, we studied Jesus' parable of the soils, which represented four types of hearts in people. This week, we'll have the opportunity to practice continual assessment of our own hearts as we explore Psalm 95 – a psalm of exhortation to seek a soft heart toward the Lord.

What is revelation, and what is its place in a course in miracles? In this talk from a recent Sunday Gathering, Robert addresses the relationship between revelation—the experience of oneness with God—and miracles—interpersonal expressions of love. He discusses Helen and Bill's very different relationships with revelation. And he answers the crucial question: why is this a course in miracles rather than a course in revelation? ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Life Point Sunday Gathering | Danny Rivers | Week 4 | Get Wisdom by Life Point SA
You may have heard that the phrase "Fear not" (or some variation) appears in the Bible 365 times - one for every day of the year. Sorry to bust this urban legend, but the number doesn't quite reach 200 times. While we lose our pithy little statement, the reality is that it would only take ONE time of God calling us to "fear not" to establish this truth. But how can we "fear not" when life seems to be imploding and the future looks so uncertain? We'll explore a concept that is woven throughout the Psalms and is a practical posture in response to the temptation to succumb to fear.

Whether or not you think of yourself as a leader, someone in your life is watching you - and you're influencing them. In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Emily Perry explores what A Course in Miracles says about leadership — not the "command and control" model most of us distrust, nor the "nobody's in charge" alternative many of us have romanticized, but something truly rooted in love instead. How can you lead in a Course-based way? ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.
