Playing Your Role

Jim Leffel

Ephesians 4:11-16

Included in the call for believers is to fill the role they are given in the Body of Christ. Regardless of the role, the motivation to serve will always come out of love. There are four practical steps to get started: 1) get connected, 2) pray for opportunities to serve, 3) give what you've got, and 4) get equipped to give more.

The Gentile Pentecost

Dennis McCallum

Mark 7:8-9

God wants to use believers to tell other people about His message and help them understand what God has done for them on the cross. However, believers can put up barriers to that message. Our prejudices, traditions, and arbitrary absolutes can stand in the way of God's love. We should be actively ridding ourselves of these barriers so people can see who God is through us. See what God has to say about this through Peter and Cornelius.\r\n

The Upper Room

Dennis McCallum

John 13:1-17

Practicing a self-sacrificial, others-centered lifestyle is actually far more fulfilling and joyful than living a life serving self. Christ was the ultimate example of this as he chose to take the role of a lowly servant and washed his disciples' feet the night before his death.

The Humble Messiah

Dennis McCallum

John 12:12-34

We, like the Jewish people of Jesus' day, are ready to follow God only if He meets our expectations. This type of religious devotion is superficial and outward. Jesus did not meet the expectations of the people of his day. Instead of being a powerful ruler, he was a humble servant. He will come back one day and conquer Satan and the power of sin once and for all. We have a choice to lives our lives in sacrifice to others as well.

The Good Shepherd

Dennis McCallum

John 10

God's method of leadership is through serving. Through God's example of servant leadership, we can understand the type of leaders He calls us to be. 1) We should influence others relationally, 2) we should lead by example through modeling, 3) we should invest in people deeply, 4) we should love sacrificially, 5) God will never abandon us, and so 6) we should never abandon our people.

Make Love Your Lifestyle

Jim Leffel

Galatians 6:6-10

As we grow in our love towards others, there are three principles for developing a loving lifestyle: 1) understanding that what we feed grows, whether we sow to the flesh or to the spirit; 2) the reward of enduring and doing good without losing heart; and 3) seizing the opportunities God places in our lives to do good to others. Living out a lifestyle of sacrificial love is rewarding not just in this life, but even more so in the next.

Fulfilling the Law of Christ

Jim Leffel

Galatians 6:1-5

The Law of Christ can be seen through our ability to lovingly restore other Christians, as well as bear others burdens. We are called to bear burdens, while helping others learn how to bear their own loads and learn how to walk according to the Holy Spirit and grow spiritually. As we invest in deep love relationships, God is able to use us in others lives to draw closer to Him and see real transformation.

Balancing Home Life and Ministry

Patrice McCormac

Galatians 6:1-5

Balancing family and ministry service can be both confusing and difficult. Instead of approaching this conflict of interests sequentially, such as following a concrete plan of first serving your spouse, then kids, then self or others, we can practice more flexibility. There is a deep need to be simultaneously involved in ministry because of its ability to bring friendships, purpose, and a healthy example for children. In attempting to balance these two fields of life, we can look for ways in which they overlap and actually complement each other.
