What does it mean for us that Jesus is king and that he is reigning over his kingdom of heaven?
In this teaching, we attempt to answer that question. And the answer means a whole lot more for us than you might think.
This is the final sermon of our pastor Joshua Elsom

In this one-off teaching, we take a bird's eye view of Jesus' unorthodox discipleship strategy.
While every other rabbi in Jesus' day chose their disciples from the Crème de la Crème of Jewish society —the smartest, the well connected, and the most likely to succeed— Jesus chose his disciples based not on their qualifications but their disqualifications. And the men he gathered were the kind of people who made his ministry most likely to fail. But Jesus did not fail.
Jesus is still calling and leading disciples today and his strategy has not changed. Often that puts us in proximity to people within the Church with whom we share little in common and have major differences of opinion. That is not by accident. There is a purpose to it. It is to model a new creation society for the world, where unity in Christ overwhelms every disagreement and difference of opinion.
Our goal is to find and fight for that unity.

America is being stretched to the point of seeing the political bonds of the republic broken. What responsibility, if any, does the church in America bear for the state of the culture as it presently exists? If we do, what are our rules of engagement moving forward? We answer these questions and more as we consider a church in trouble in Revelation 3:13-22.

In the week since George Floyd’s tragic death our nation has been thrown into chaos. And there seems to be no end to the violence in sight.
This week we ask ourselves what our responsibility is as Jesus’ family in our current cultural moment. How do we respond to what we are seeing and experiencing? What must we start doing and what must we no longer do? And how can we bring the light of our good works into this dark situation?
The answer to those questions and more is to put our hands to Jesus’ plow and to never look back, no matter what it costs us; and to summon all people —regardless of the color of their skin— to repentance and submission to King Jesus and his offer of grace.
