The Heart Of Our Issues With Money
January 6, 2019 Brian Brinkert Cultivating Generosity; A Biblical View of Money and PossessionsWhere your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Brian starts our new series on generosity by helping us learn what the Bible has to say about money and its role in our lives.
As we explore Jesus’ words in the parable of the talents, Brian encourages us to consider the implications of this parable to our work. What has God entrusted to you in your vocation? What does it look like to be faithful with what God has entrusted to you? Matthew 25:14-30
What is normal for us to experience as followers of Jesus? In this weekend’s message from Acts 18, Brian highlights five key items that were normal for 1st century Christians and outlines how we can live into those realities in our own journey of following Jesus today.
It takes real courage to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading. In this message, Brain examines a few ways that the early disciples chose courage – pointing us to how that can help us grow as a Holy Spirit-led community, as well as ways we can learn to have courage in other areas of our lives.
In this weekend’s message, Brian explores how the early disciples responded to the Holy Spirit in times of tragic difficulty and times of surprising rescue. Through these examples, we can learn more about how to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in all kinds of circumstances we may face in life.
A Picture of Holy Spirit Led Community
June 17, 2018 Brian Brinkert A Practical Guide: Holy Spirit Led CommunityBrian teaches us from Acts 11:19-30 about how the Holy Spirit speaks and leads us as we connect in community and engage in discipleship.
We all value a trustworthy person (friend, spouse, boss/employee). Integrity is a characteristic we strive for but often fall short of. Brian explains how God views this attribute, and how we can begin to become people of integrity.
Responding To Persecution and Difficulties
April 15, 2018 Brian Brinkert Continuing What Jesus StartedAs followers of Christ, we will experience some kind of persecution. How we respond is as important as the message we spread, and only possible with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Brian shares with us some practical ways to engage with God’s will to bring healing to the people that we encounter in our daily lives.
Our relationships are a key indicator of how much of the good life we have experienced, and they highlight areas we still need to grow and be changed by Jesus. In this message, Brian focuses on a key dynamic that comes up in our relationships: our judgmental attitudes.
