Lesson From 2020 Part 1

Carey Robinson begins a Wednesday night series on things we have learned in the midst of a Covid pandemic.

I Thank God For You - Philippians 1:3-11

From Philippians 1, Pastor Pete expresses his thanks to the church for their grace and support of him and his family.

Live In Harmony With One Another - Romans 15:1-7

The Gospel calls us towards unity. Following the example of Christ, who did not strive to please himself, we seek to live for others and the glory of God. From Romans 15:1-7, we're reminded of the beauty that arises from a church that seeks to live in harmony with one another.

Drawing Near to One Another - Hebrews 10:19-25

Preaching from Hebrews 10:19-25, we learn that because God has drawn near to us in Christ, we are now called draw near to one another.

Greeting One Another - Romans 16

One of the grace outcomes of this pandemic has been to rediscover the importance of stepping towards one another. This Sunday we begin a series on the Christian One Anothers found in the New Testament.  From Romans 16 we're reminded of the importance of greeting, accepting and extending hospitality to one another.

The Communion of Saints - Acts 2:42-47

Preaching from Acts 2, Vince Oliveri reminds us of the shared life we experience because of the gospel. As a community of people changed by the gospel we express our awe of God through worship, we practice love for one another through fellowship, and we demonstrate the life-changing power of the gospel by stepping towards neighbors and others in need.

Perfect Unity Part 2 - John 17:20-23

Preaching from John 17, Pastor Pete calls the church to cultivate unity in the gospel; a unity that is fueled by the abiding love of God, and practiced by those who have been changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Perfect Unity - John 17:20-26

In John 17 we learn that, even knowing what he knew about his disciples, Jesus prayed for perfect unity among his disciples and all who would believe the gospel because of their teaching.

He Must Increase, But I Must Decrease - John 3:22-30

Preaching from John 3:22-30, Pastor Pete reminds us that there is no place for pride in the life of a follower of Jesus. Living the Christian life with others is a way to safeguard against pride. Following Pete's sermon we listened to a panel discussion about the importance of Community groups for growth in the gospel.

Gospel Community - Ephesians 4:11-16

Preaching from Ephesians 4, Vince Oliveri helps us consider what it means to be a Christ-centered church.
