If it’s a God thing, then what about…

No Responses - Posted on March 10th, 2010 by Pastor Jason

So we’re in this series called “It’s a God Thing” – we’re discussing things that are impossible without God. And ya know, as I study these things, I realize how much of church and the Christian life is something we do in our strength. I don’t like to admit it, but if I’m honest (and I would guess, if most of us were honest) we’d have to say we try to pull off a lot of what it means to be a Christian in our own strength. However the “ideal” and “dream” of God’s Word I believe IS possible, but not the way we typically approach biblical direction (ie. try harder). It’s a God thing, so it requires God.

Just because it’s not “normal”…

No Responses - Posted on March 7th, 2010 by Pastor Jason

Maybe “normal” is the wrong word, but just because something is not common does that mean we should not pursue it?

Today I talked about God’s design for the church and granted it’s not common and I’m not sure that I can find many examples where it’s working right, but, personally, I don’t think that should be a reason not to pursue it. I mean if it’s God’s design shouldn’t it be our aspiration? You see I think there are things we shy away from or give up on because we can’t envision a way, realistically that it can be pulled off. But that’s the reason we’ve called our current series: “It’s a God Thing”. These are things that are not possible without God.

Questions from Yesterday’s Sermon

No Responses - Posted on March 1st, 2010 by Pastor Jason

So yesterday we began the new series, “It’s a God Thing” and while I don’t know how many from GCR actually read this blog, there were three questions that came after the message on Sunday, and I’d love to clarify a few things. Maybe there will be a way to get this into one of the upcoming messages, but just in case I can’t, plus some may not want to wait that long, I figured I’d write them here on the blog…

1. Why did you talk about giving $$ as the indicator of where God is in our hearts/ lives? Get real, is this a church-fundraising pitch?
