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.

We are a New Creation

We are a New Creation Part 1 of the series, oBEdient If we insist on Jesus helping us fulfill our agenda, we will inevitably tame him into our mascot. But what would happen —ask yourself the question—what would happen if you volunteered to be part of HIS program? What if you said to him, ‘Wherever you send me, I will go’? I’m absolutely convinced that over the next few weeks, God is going to tap some of you on the…

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. Heather Althoff

Multiply, Take 2 (Part 1)

I think this story is important because it relates a fundamental truth about our resources —whether they’re scarce or plentiful: The purpose of our resources is not our comfort. It’s not our glory. It’s not even necessarily our survival. The purpose of our resources is to reveal God to this world and to glorify Him. Amy Parodi

Multiply, Part 1: Small Resources

God has called us to invest whatever it is that we have into something that becomes productive. Something that becomes green. Something that becomes eternal. … The tragedy is when we just waste it away, out of fear of failure. You cannot fail when you’re investing in the things of God.

Uncharted Territory, Part 9: The Church Crosses the Divide into Uncharted Territory

Uncharted Territory, Part 9: The Church Crosses the Divide into Uncharted Territory An ambassador is the greatest job in the world. To represent your country… This is the greatest job that we have, because we represent the King of kings and Lord of lords, the One and Only, there is no other. It is not to be shared in any way. We are ambassadors in that. And we are a unified Body — as a church, and you as an individual.…

Uncharted Territory, Part 7: From Gospel to Growth

Uncharted Territory, Part 7: From Gospel to Growth This process of sanctification is a life-long process. It’s a life-long journey forward, and at no point in the Christian life can we be stagnant in our faith. And remember that oftentimes with growth, there are growing pains. As Paul said, “It is good that some of us might suffer for the Kingdom.” … So may we all go out from here to preach the gospel, to allow for a response, and…

BOTH/AND, Part 5: Staying/Going

BOTH/AND, Part 5: Staying/Going A purposeful life, for every one of us, is based on fulfilling God’s order to stay and go with purpose, recognizing that this home is not your home, this place is not your final stop; that God is using you for an indefinite period of time — you and this church you choose to be a part of — and let God make the decision about where you land.

BOTH/AND, Part 4: The Great Divide Between Sent and Tell

BOTH/AND, Part 4: The Great Divide Between Sent and Tell You have been sent so that you can tell, so that others will hear, so they can believe, so that they’ll call on Jesus. … [but] if we are not telling, there’s a problem with our understanding of who sent us – it’s disbelief – or it’s just disobedience. … Our role is to tell. There’s components of telling the good news: a sending, there’s an audience, and there’s a message.…

BOTH/AND, Part 3: Local/Global

BOTH/AND, Part 3: Local/Global Both/and. Do we go here, or there? The answer is yes. We have to discover our [global] responsibilities. That’s what our GIC — and what this church — is all about. Download the PDF above to follow along with notes.

BOTH/AND, Part 2: Serving/Proclaiming

BOTH/AND, Part 2: Serving/Proclaiming It’s that tension that develops between serving and proclaiming: do I do something good for someone, or do I just tell them about Jesus and move on? Download the PDF above to follow along with notes.
