We are Ambassadors

We are Ambassadors Part 4 of the series, oBEdient [God] calls us to go anywhere that Jesus isn’t already known. Whether you go across the street or across the world, it is going to take effort. It is going to take time. And it’s probably going to be uncomfortable. There will be a cost—but we have to go. That’s what ambassadors are. HEATHER ALTHOFF Download the sermon notes (adult version)

We are Witnesses

We are Witnesses Part 3 of the series, oBEdient We are witnesses—so we share what we’ve experienced. We have no other choice. We do it because that’s who we are. We do it because we’re called in a long line of witnesses empowered by the Holy Spirit. And we do it despite the barriers that we experience.

GIC 2020: Commitment Sunday

To wrap up our week-long Global Impact Celebration, we invited some of LifeWay’s global missions partners to share their experience and insight with us, and to pray for us and with us for God’s work—and our partnership with him—around the globe. Partnership in the gospel means partnering with God in your own life and personal mission field. It also means partnering with others to participate in the greater mission to make disciples of all nations. As part of the Global…

Multiply, Take 2 (Part 2)

So what does the story of Gideon have to do with LifeWay? What does it have to do with Multiply and our resources?  Well, I think that as we consider our resources as followers of Jesus, we have to remember that, whether we have a lot or a little to offer, nothing good happens unless God makes it happen.

Uncharted Territory, Part 6: Guided by the Holy Spirit

Uncharted Territory, Part 6: Guided by the Holy Spirit This is what Spirit-empowered disciples do: they share the good news. They witness to the work of Jesus. And this is what Spirit-led churches do: they send out these Spirit-empowered disciples. The question for us today is, are we that kind of a church? Are we those kinds of disciples? … The Holy Spirit guides all of this. Without the Holy Spirit, we are just a gathering of mostly nice people who…

Refresh, Part 3: Real Life

Refresh, Part 3: Real Life Our everyday lives demonstrate our belief and our experiences of the gospel. … [Moses says in Deuteronomy 6,] use everyday life to pass on the truths about God. Love God with every part of your being, and use every part of your life to live out your relationship with him. That’s the core value of real life. …Instead of just looking for rituals or practices that are disconnected from the rest of our lives, God has…

We are Family, Part 1: Motherhood—It’s Complicated!

I want to make sure that all the moms sitting here today know that you are present in the Bible. The Bible was written for you just as much as for everyone else. And just like everyone else, it applies to your personal, complicated situation. Again, it may not be in the way that we expect, but the Bible speaks to the complicated lives of mothers. And the most important way it does that is through the gospel. The gospel brings freedom to the complicated lives of mothers. … The message of the gospel means that you can lay down your burdens, your failures, your expectations, and live out each day in the freedom and dependence of Jesus.
