Radically Reorienting Our Lives to Proclaim the Gospel” Tonight at 5pm

Sunday, September 11th, 2011

We hope you will be able to join us this evening for the third and final mes­sage in our “Rad­i­cal Reori­en­ta­tion” series. Tonight’s mes­sage comes from Acts 4:23–31 and is enti­tled, “Rad­i­cally Reori­ent­ing Our Lives to Pro­claim the Gospel.” So far in our series, we’ve learned that God must rad­i­cally reori­ent us to Him­self through repen­tance and faith in Jesus. Then we saw that we must change the way we live to pre­serve the Gospel, defend­ing it from the addi­tions and sub­trac­tions our unbe­liev­ing hearts tempt us to make and com­mit­ting to live out the impli­ca­tions of the Gospel together in the church.

In tonight’s mes­sage, we will see that our expec­ta­tions, our view of God and prayer, and our evan­ge­lism must change if we are to faith­fully pro­claim the Gospel. After the ser­vice, we will enjoy din­ner together. If you are a guest, we hope that you can come for wor­ship and the meal after­ward. See you tonight at 5pm!

Reorienting Our Lives to Preserve the Gospel” Tonight at 5pm

Sunday, September 4th, 2011

Please join us tonight for the sec­ond week of our ser­mon series, “Rad­i­cal Reori­en­ta­tion: From Sin and Self to God and Oth­ers.” Last week, we con­sid­ered how God rad­i­cally reori­ents us to Him­self through the per­son and work of Jesus in Luke 5. Just like the par­a­lyzed man, every one of us has prob­lems in this life, but none greater than our need for for­give­ness from God. Jesus, our per­fect Sav­ior, achieved rec­on­cil­i­a­tion for us through His life, death, and res­ur­rec­tion. In response, we are called to “leave every­thing and fol­low Him,” just as Levi the tax col­lec­tor did.

Tonight, we will con­sider how God calls us to rad­i­cally reori­ent our lives to pre­serve that won­der­ful mes­sage. We have been called to make dis­ci­ples of Jesus, and the way we do that is by know­ing the Gospel and apply­ing to our lives and the lives of oth­ers. How­ever, doing this requires a rad­i­cal reori­en­ta­tion of our lives. The way we spend time, money, and resources has to change for us to do this faith­fully. After the ser­vice, we will enjoy din­ner together. We hope to see you there!
