This week we take a look at how we are all parts of the body of Christ. When we recognize him as our head, it leads to health and harmony as we take the Gospel to the world around us.
This week we take a look at our second identity, worshippers. In it's most general definition, worship is the act of ascribing ultimate worth to something that requires our entire being. So as Pastor Noah takes us through the text we are able to answer the questions; why should we worship God? How do we worship God? And, where do we begin?
This week we begin with our first identity, family. Our sin has made us God's enemies but the Gospel makes us children. In the same way sin has separated us from one another but the Gospel restores those relationships and makes us family.
As we begin a new series looking at our identities at August Gate we must start with the "What" and the "Why" of the church. This week we take a look at the "Why" and also the "What" of the church gathered.
The Gospel is simple for us to hear. God is our good creator, we are His rebellious creation, Jesus is our redemption and He is coming back to make all things right for us. Jesus is risen indeed but do we believe that in our hearts?
We wrap up The Gospel of Genesis series this week with one question: is Jesus the center of your life?
Pastor Noah leads us through Jonah 4 to see how Jonah has had a complete reversal of his attitude and his thankfulness of God's mercy. We are left with this question: do we have God's heart for the lost?
The life of Joseph is an epic story that wraps up Genesis. Sold into slavery, wrongly accused and thrown into prison but eventually used for good and reconciliation. We learn some very important things about our lives in the midst of tragedy and how Jesus leads us with the Gospel through it.
We continue in Jonah 3 to see God's love for a city and His call for us to be on mission.
Kevin Wright, our church planting resident, unpacks the text to show us that as we look to those that have come before us that we can see that this life we live is a marathon that requires our constant attention on the Gospel.
