Obsession

Chris Mayfield   04/27/08

This week Pastor Chris takes a break from "Following Jesus in a Jacked Up Church" to talk about how Christ needs to be our one and only obsession. Paul forgot the things which were behind, so as not to be content with past labours or present measures of grace. Paul's obsession was Christ...

That which is attributed to faith in Hebrews 11 is often ascribed to the Spirit in the Old Testament. But the Spirit was promised in a special way in the Old Testament. He was never at that period the presence of God in the midst of the people, as He dwelt in the assembly...

Series: Following Jesus in a Jacked Up Church

It is not only in His gifts that the presence of the Spirit of God is manifested. There are prophecies and miracles, men moved by the Holy Ghost, before the day of Pentecost. That which is attributed to faith in Hebrews 11 is often ascribed to the Spirit in the Old Testament. But the Spirit was promised in a special way in the Old Testament. He was never at that period the presence of God in the midst of the people, as He dwelt in the assembly.

Feet - "Stand On It"

Chris Mayfield   04/06/08

Series: Following Jesus in a Jacked Up Church

Here is Paul's writing at its best on a subject that awakens everyone's interest, love. His presentation of love, however, is without sentimentality, devoid of sensuality, and free from sexuality. The world has poured a sensual meaning into the word love that centers on sex and the sex act. Another use of this word is to equate it with a degree of fondness for either an action or an object, as in 'I love to do it,' or, 'I love it.' By contrast, the love that Paul has in mind is divine in origin and transcends earthly meanings...It is expressed in the well-known verse, 'For God so loved the world...' (John 3:16)...This love is embodied in the Greek term agape which means either God's love for man or man's love for God" (p. 451). Love is always in season; it is the breath of the church; it is the life's blood of evangelism; it is one of the attributes of God.

Journey Through Values//Adam Sheffield

Stop reading this. No, seriously, stop reading and clear your mind. Ok you may begin reading again, but before going further see if you can give the five values that Journey Church preaches. If you’re not a member you don’t have to pass this test, although reading on will help inform you of what our five core values are and how they shape our ministry.

Journey Through Values: Truth//Adam Sheffield

Truth seems like an obvious value, an age-old archetype that any religious organization would have, but imagine if a religion promoted itself by saying “Falsehoods and lies are what we value!” Four words for that: Re-donk-u-lus! But beyond that obvious shot in the foot, why is it that we would value truth? more...
