How to Grow as a Disciple
In this sermon, Justin Norden, from our teaching team, helps us understand how to apply the Great Commission to our lives. This is a follow-on from his sermon in July on the Great Commandment.
The DNA of Real Community
In this four part series, we studied the four devotions of the early church found in Acts 2:42. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, we seek to do church the way they did it at the beginning. We devote ourselves to the apostles' teaching, the fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer through our Community Groups.
DNA: A Common Pursuit
September 16, 2012 | Acts 2:42-47 |
Pastor Gary Combs concludes the sermon series “The DNA of Real Community” based on Acts 2:42-47. This message focuses on the fourth strand of “DNA,” which is the practice of praying together. This first century practice of the early church was one of its four devotions. When we pray together as the early Christians did, we are able to see the miraculous power of Christ moving in our midst.
DNA: A Common Practice
September 9, 2012 | Acts 2:42-47 |
Pastor Gary Combs continues the sermon series “The DNA of Real Community” based on Acts 2:42-47. This message focuses on the third strand of “DNA,” which is the practice of breaking bread together. This first century practice of the early church was one of its four devotions. When we break bread together as the early Christians did, we are able to see the hands of Christ, the grace of Christ and the body of Christ in our gathering.
DNA: A Common Identity
September 2, 2012 | Acts 2:42-47 |
Pastor Gary Combs continues the series “The DNA of Real Community” with this sermon about the second “devotion” of the early church, “the fellowship.” The Greek word for fellowship is koinonia. This is more than just a get-together. This is about the common identity that believers share as members of Christ’s family.
DNA: A Common Belief
August 26, 2012 | Acts 2:42-47 |
Pastor Gary Combs begins a new series entitled “The DNA of Real Community” with this message from Acts 2:42-47 about the first century Christians devotion to a “common belief” in the apostle’s teaching. This message teaches the importance of having a commitment and devotion to God’s Word as the foundation for a true Christian community of believers.
iCommit
In this sermon series, we studied the three commitments every WCC member should make. 1) Celebrate God's Son 2) Connect to God's People and 3) Contribute to God's Kingdom
iCommit to Contribute to God’s Kingdom
August 19, 2012 | Matthew 20:25-28 |
Pastor Gary Combs concludes the 4-part series “iCommit” with this message from Matthew 20. In the book of Matthew, the mother of James and John asked Jesus for seats of authority for her sons on either side of Jesus. Jesus told her and all the disciples that following Him was not a call to be great in the way the world sees things. He said that the greatness they were called to was called servanthood. He told them to follow His example of service by being willing to contribute all that they had in serving God.
iCommit to Connect to God’s People
August 12, 2012 | Romans 12:4-5 |
Pastor Gary Combs continues the “iCommit” series with this message from Romans. In the book of Romans the apostle Paul told the Roman Christians that even though they had followed Christ by an individual decision they must recognize that in following Him they had become one body, connected to other believers. When we follow Christ we make must make an individual decision to follow, but that leads to a corporate identity. We become the body of Christ connected to every other believer.
iCommit to Celebrate God’s Son
August 5, 2012 | Mark 12:30 |
Pastor Gary Combs continues the “iCommit” series with this message about the importance of making a simple commitment to worship God by giving Jesus first place in your life. This message is taken from Mark 12:30 where Jesus simplifies all of Scripture by teaching the great commandment to love God.
iCommit: Three Simple Commitments
July 29, 2012 | Matthew 4:19-20 |
Pastor Gary Combs begins a new 4-part sermon series entitled “iCommit.” This series begins from Christ’s call to his disciples in Matthew 4 to “come” and “follow.” In this culture of chaotic busyness, Christ’s simple call to follow him helps us focus on what really matters.
