2 Corinthians 5:16–21 | Reconciliation is a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful word. It's beautiful when two friends reconcile. It's beautiful when two family members reconcile.

But you know what the best reconciliation is? Reconciliation to God!

When we come to faith in Christ, He reconciles us to God. We know the joy of being a new creation reconciled to our holy creator. But then God does something awesomely outlandish. He entrusts to us the ministry of reconciliation and of telling others that they too can be reconciled to God through Christ!

This week, we walk through 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 where we will understand and get excited about His ministry of reconciliation we are called to in Christ!

1 Corinthians 12:1–31 | Disciples of Jesus work for Jesus. What do we mean by this? It means all of us have been gifted by the Holy Spirit to serve the body of Christ in love.  

If we are in Christ, we have gifts from Christ to serve the body of Christ. For any of us to not use our gifts in love will mean the family will suffer.

Let's come together to be encouraged toward working for Christ in the loving service of one another as we exercise the gifts given to us by God.

Galatians 5:13–26 | Over and over again in scripture, we find walking to be the picture used for the Christian life. We are told to “walk not as unwise but as wise.” We are told to “walk with the Lord.” We are told to “walk by the Spirit.” In this message, we will look at walking with Jesus and what it looks like for us to walk with Jesus together.

Romans 12:1–2 | What is the first thing that comes to mind when you read this word...  

Ready...

Worship.

I bet something related to singing popped in your head. Maybe Sunday morning. Maybe a specific song. Maybe a worship band. And this is all good because one of the most important and commanded ways we express worship to God is by singing.

But worship is more than singing. God wants lives of worship. We worship when we go to church on Sunday, and believe it or not, we are worshipping something when we go to work and school and home and sporting events and the mall and on and on we could go.

So what does God call us to as worshippers? What does wholistic-life worship look like? How do we live a life of worship all week that simply overflows into a church service of worship on Sunday?

Matthew 4:18–22 | "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men."

Simple yet profound.

The life of a disciple is to follow. To go where Jesus is going. To do what Jesus is doing. To hurt over what Jesus is hurting over. To rejoice in what Jesus is rejoicing in.

We must learn to follow. And as we grow to know and love Jesus and follow Him in all things, He equips us to invite more to follow Him as well. He equips us to be a master fisherman for the Kingdom.

Matthew 28:18–20, Acts 2:42-47 | This series is all about the Church. Our local expression of the church, the global Church, and how every single one of us has been invited into the powerful mission that Jesus gave His disciples. Every believer is a part of the Church and should seek to be an active participant in the Church.

Let's be a worshipping family on mission together.
