Through Paul and Barnabas' first missionary journey, we are challenged to keep our eyes on the Gospel. Though hostility may come, the Spirit of God will empower His people to persevere.

1 Corinthians 9:1-27 Through Paul's example, we see that we're called to lay down our rights to move the gospel forward. He paints a picture of what it looks like to be theologically fixed and culturally flexible for the sake of those who would...

Don’t Be Afraid.  Lift Your Sail. Leviticus 15-17 and Acts 18. We are reading through the NLT. Jesus appears to Paul in a vision and gives him a simple message, “Don’t be afraid!  Speak out!  Don’t be silent!  For I am with you, and no one will attack and harm you, for many people in this city belong to me.” (Acts 18:9-10)   God wants him to keep doing what He’s asked him to do.  God has a plan for many people in that city.  They already belong to Him, they will soon discover what they don’t quite know yet. they just don’t know it yet.  He wants Paul to know that he doesn’t need to be afraid.  He just needs to speak up and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah, as known in the Scriptures.  This simple message makes you wonder why Paul needed a vision to have that reinforced.  But apparently he did, and sometimes we do, too.   Sometimes we need a clearer or new vision of Christ, in order for us do those simple things that we knew all along.  The simple message is to not be afraid, to speak out, to not be silent, to trust that God’s got a plan, that He’s already at work in people’s lives, before we ever say a word.  God’s in control.  We don’t need to be afraid. Maybe some of you need some part, or all, of that message that Jesus gave to Paul. Maybe you need the part that says, “Don’t be afraid”.  Maybe you’re struggling, locked up with fear and you need to be reminded that God’s got a plan.  He’s already been at work. He’s in control and you don’t need to be.  Or maybe you need the message to “Speak out”. You need to speak out and pronounce your own faith and trust.  Maybe you need to say out loud, “Lord, I trust you in the midst of my own circumstances, my own disappointment, my pain, and my anguish”.  Lord, I trust you.  Don’t be silent. Resist the temptation to let fear drive you into silence and isolation. Through Paul’s movements on this journey we see something really important.  We see a picture of God moving.  We see his Spirit, like a wind, blowing across lives, and regions, and circumstances of the known world and of God’s people, known and unknown.  God is at work. He’s in charge. We need not be afraid. Ours is to join with him, and walk in that Spirit, not afraid but in faith. We are to speak out and not be silent.   The Spirit of God is blowing into lives and circumstances, bringing life, hope, and freedom.  Where the Spirit of God is, there is freedom – freedom from fear and isolation. His Spirit is drawing us into the life of the Spirit, the life of Christ in us.   Live in His Life. Ride the wave of His leading.  He will lead you into Life, into and freedom, and away from fear.  Living the better part of 2020 next to the ocean has reminded me of a few things.  The sea is so big, so beyond any one person. it is so powerful you can look out over it and feel afraid.  There is no controlling the sea.  And yet, there is a way to live next to and even on the sea.  You can learn to harness the might of the sea, and draw your life from it.     I feel the winds of God today; today my sail I lift, Though heavy, oft with drenching spray, and torn with many a rift; If hope but light the water’s crest, and Christ my bark will use, I’ll seek the seas at His behest, and brave another cruise. It is the wind of God that dries my vain regretful tears, Until with braver thoughts shall rise the purer, brighter years; If cast on shores of selfish ease or pleasure I should be; Lord, let me feel Thy freshening breeze, and I’ll put back to sea. If ever I forget Thy love and how that love was shown, Lift high the blood red flag above; it bears Thy name alone. Great pilot of my onward way, Thou wilt not let me drift; I feel the winds of God today, today my sail I lift.  -Jessie Adams 1906

Brothers and sisters, today's topic of Treasures for the Soul is “The preciousness of the Letter to Philemon.” Through Paul's letter to Philemon, we can see that the Lord is responsible for our life through eternity. He belongs to us and has passionately committed Himself in our life and eternity. The fact that Philemon comes before Hebrews is very meaningful. In Philemon, we can see Paul's love towards Onesimus. This brotherly love demonstrates the Lord's love. The prayers of a brother represents that the Lord is our High Priest and Advocate, who intercedes for us and blesses us day and night. Paul says that Onesimus is “his own heart.” (Ref. NKJV) This also represents that we are truly in the Lord's heart. Let's enter into the letter to Philemon and enjoy its abundance.

How do we respond when we aren’t where we want to be, but we are exactly where God knew we would be? Paul finds himself in that situation in Athens, Green in Acts 17. Through Paul’s example, we end our series by discussing our method as a witness.

Through Paul’s letter to a young community in Thessalonica, we are encouraged that God chooses us to glorify Him by living out our calling on earth during a challenging 2020. With the imminent return of Christ, we are also motivated to remain faithful and persevere with the strength and courage Jesus provides during these unprecedented times.

There are systems in our world that are broken. In our personal lives, many of us have pasts that are filled with pain and hurt. How do we forgive others? How do we treat other people who are different than us? Through Paul’s letter to Philemon, we discover that barriers, no matter how strong they appear, come crashing down in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Reconciliation is possible when we embrace the truth that all people are equally in need of God’s grace.

Through Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, God gives us the challenging, yet magnificent calling to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. If this calling is so central to the life of the church, how come we struggle so much as Christians (throughout history) to maintain “unity in the bond of peace”? What can we come back to that will show us what it looks like to be this unified people? The blueprint of unity is God and the Gospel! The only way the family of God can live in Unity is if we remember who our Father is, that we are His family, and that the Gospel is His story that we get to share with the world.

Philippians 1:3–11 Sermon PreviewThink about the the first members of the Philippian church (Acts 16): a successful business woman; a formerly demon-possessed slave girl; a jail guard. What do they have in common? Not much! Yet God, in his wisdom, gathered these and others together as a church—people from different backgrounds, different social classes, different jobs, different life circumstances, different ages—all gathered together under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. And when Paul wrote the letter of Philippians, he wrote to all of them (Phil 1:1).It’s remarkable then, that Paul writes in our text for this weekend: ”I hold you in my heart...I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus” (Phil 1:7–8). Paul’s letter is full of affectionate language. In chapter four, he calls the Philippian saints "my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown...” (Phil 4:1). Paul clearly had deep care for the Philippians; they weren’t just his church plant, they were his friends!In our culture, we often make friends based on things we have in common: we both like hunting, we both have kids in elementary school, we’re both farmers. And we often find it hard to “be friends” with those that are significantly different from us. I hear this sometimes as a pastor. “How can I relate to ____? We have nothing in common!” Jesus calls together and unites as a local church people remarkably different from each other. Sometimes all we have in common with someone at church is the gospel!But we see from Paul that the gospel is enough. Paul was not able to talk tent-making with the Philippian jailer and the slave girl had no idea what Jewish practices in Jerusalem looked like. Yet, Paul considered them friends and was filled with gratitude and affection and stirred to pray for them. “It is right for me to feel this way about you all,” Paul writes, “because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace…” (Phil 1:7). Through Paul’s example, we’ll see that the gospel is the key to joy-filled, Christ-exalting friendship. Join us this Sunday at 10am at the Skyline Plaza as we gather to see how gospel-centered thinking reshapes our friendship.Sunday Music

In Corinth the Lord’s Supper had become a place where privilege and class diversity was causing division. Through Paul’s rebuke we are called to examine whether our participation in the Lord’s Supper is unworthy.

The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ What is the Book of Revelation really about?  Many suggest it is a book of end time events that we are now living in, with impending catastrophes coming upon the earth.  Many who approach this book do so with that mind set already established.  So, they are looking in these scriptures for the impending doom that we must surely face.  The question, I want the Lord Jesus to answer is that the truth of the Book?    Notice where, I want us to go for the answer, to the truth Himself!  “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of faith.”  I am afraid if we look anywhere else for understanding in the scripture we will be void.  He alone is understanding and the voice of reasoning.  Everything that I look at must be embodied in Him.    The first verse of Revelation should kind of gives it away. “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show unto his servants, even the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John;”  It is the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.  Now if we start from this understanding that the Book is Revealing Him, Jesus Christ, and the things that were to shortly come to pass in John’s day we can began to see what is at hand.   The Apostle Paul declared in Galatians 1 that he was separated from his mother’s womb and called by God’s grace to reveal Jesus Christ in him.  Within Paul’s writing he is declaring the mystery that was hid, but now made manifest to the saints, Christ in you the hope of glory.  He was declaring that the Jews and Gentiles were to be of one body, and to have access unto God through one Spirit.  This was through the Revelation of Jesus Christ in Paul.  Through Paul seeing Jesus Christ, and the work He had completed at Calvary this declaration was being made.    The Apostle John turned to see the VOICE that spoke with Him and saw seven golden candlesticks.  In the midst of the candlesticks was one like the Son of Man with seven stars in His hand.  Here in Revelation 1 imagery and symbolism take off.  The candlesticks are seven churches, the stars are seven angels to the churches.  Jesus is in the midst of the church and the stars are in His hand.  The stars or ministers are declaring out of Jesus’ power.  There is an impending crisis at hand.   The crisis was both external and internal.  The crisis that had come was Jesus.  He had fulfilled the law of Moses and had set forth the New Covenant in the earth.  All the Old Covenant types, and shadows were coming to their end, and the reality of truth or the substance they had declared were at hand.  Jesus was anointed as Isiah said to declare the favor of God and to declare God’s vengeance.  Isaiah 61:1  “The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;”    This book of Revelation is just that.  Revelations 1:3 “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is at hand.”  God’s favor is at hand to those who read and understand.  Christ in you is at hand.  The Kingdom of God has come.  But also at hand is a day of clouds and gloom.   God’s vengeance as declared by Isaiah is coming upon the land, the land of Israel.  The Old Covenant that had been fulfilled in Christ and done away was going to be taken off the land.  As Jesus declared, not one stone was going to be left on that Old Temple.  The new had come through Jesus Christ.    When we encounter Jesus in the way of Revelation a crisis is at hand to us today.  It is both internal and external. It will affect the entire man.  Our old things will be taken away, and the new life of Him set forth.  He brings a shaking with Him, shaking away understanding, and bringing about truth and reality.  He is the crisis we all need to face.  Let us turn and see Him, Jesus the Christ in the midst of the church, and let us live out of an encounter with the Lord of Lords!  Glory to God!

In this third episode of the ongoing series on Heidegger and Theology, Hans Ruin (Professor of Philosophy at Södertörn University) discusses Heidegger's interest in early Christianity and St. Paul.  The abstract to Ruin's presentation in full:  "I will discuss the idea of a supposedly ‘original Christian’ religious experience as it is developed in Heidegger’s seminal interpretations of Paul in the early 1920’s. In particular, I shall focus on how the problem of tradition and inheritance is thematized in this encounter; the notion of a tradition that is at once cancelled and reinvented in and through this very cancellation. Through Paul and his notion of a ‘destruction’ of tradition, Heidegger finds his own philosophical voice in an early Jewish messianic critique of history. This is one of the partly ‘hidden’ sources of his thinking, that need to be rethought anew in relation to the Black Notebooks and their understanding of Christianity, Judaism and the question of religion generally."  This presentation can found in a revised version, in the anthology Heidegger's Black Notebooks and the Future of Theology, edited by dr. Mårten Björk and prof. Jayne Svenungsson.    Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies.

Tonight’s 5:30 Gathering is our Worship Night, so we discussed the power of worship to prepare us for this special night. Through Paul’s and Silas’ story in Acts 16:23-34, we see how Jesus can use our worship as a liberating weapon in our lives and the lives of others.

We conclude our Portraits and Profiles series with the life of Paul. Paul, once a persecutor of Christians himself, had a dramatic encounter with the risen Jesus and his life has never been then same since then. Pastor Chip teaches through Paul's messages to the church out of 2 Corinthians. Through Paul's life and testimony we see that your past doesn't determine your future. God uses people of all different kinds of backgrounds. Through Him, we have the strength and endurance to do whatever His will is for us. Chip continues to highlight Paul's life and bring out some serious life applications through this message. We hope you have enjoyed this series. Stay connected for our next series to come!

  Living by Faith: Living Renewed Part two of a six part series from 2 Corinthians   How many times have you almost lost heart? Through Paul's letters we hear words of promise and hope that can carry us from being worried to living our lives, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. Hand yourself over to God as Paul did in order to carry on. Life is not about suffering, God did not want us to struggle in this life. The promise of renewal is about facing the reality of life, knowing that life can be hard, and recognizing that we need God. This is about being strong and courageous in faith no matter what you are facing   Music Credits:  Glass Beads by Blue Dot Sessions is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial License.

In the last of our series on "The Most Heavenly Harvest - Reaping the Bounty of that Which God Has So Graciously Sown in Our Lives" series, we explore the final vow that United Methodists make when they join a local congregation - the vow to support our congregation with our witness. Through Paul's words found in Colossians 2, we are reminded that faithful witnesses reflect a life rooted in God, are grateful to God, diligently discern truth in all things, and remember & model Christ's sacrificial love to all!

This week, Todd continues through Acts. Through Paul's example at the end of Acts 14, he reminds us to strengthen one another, encourage each other to continue in the faith through trials, and to hold each other accountable. Continuing on in Acts 15, we see the Council at Jerusalem. There was disagreement about whether circumcision is required for salvation. It was reaffirmed in Acts 15:11 that men are only saved through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Nobody is ever saved through the Law or legalism. All men have always been saved by grace through faith.
