Resilient - Swimming Upstream

Join us as we continue with our current series, Resilient.  This week Pastor Neli discusses how we are on a counter cultural mission.  Being counter cultural means when culture is moving in a certain direction we are often called to a place that resists that form of culture shift.  The mission God has called us on is counter cultural.

 

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. - Jeremiah 29:11-13 (ESV)

Resilient - On The Job

Join us as we continue our current series, Resilient.  This week Pastor Neli discusses how we can be resilient in the context of vocational discipleship.  Vocation is the calling of The Lord and what that might look like.  Overtime, it revolved more around our jobs.  Understand that God will take you and place you specifically where He needs you to be. Do you consider your occupation you vocation?

 

The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. - Genesis 2:15 (ESV)

Resilient - Resilientionships

Join us online as we continue with you current series, Resilient.  This week Pastor Neli compares the need for relationships to being a resilient disciple. Discipleship is a human life experience.  One of the qualities primary to being a resilient disciple is that they have meaningful relationships with other believers

 

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - Proverbs 18:24 (ESV)

Resilient - Four By Four

Join us as we continue our current series,  Resilient.  This week Pastor Neli poses the question, “How do we discern how to live in todays culture?” How clear do we see the world through our “world view”? We should keep in mind, a compromised world view is not a biblical world view.  What do you stand for? What will be the four words that will be said of your life?

If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” - Daniel 3:17-18 (ESV)

Resilient - God or Google

Join us as we continue our current series, Resilient.  This week Pastor Neli helps us to reflect on how we live.  Is it based on the information we gather from God or is it based on the information we gather from Google and other media sources?  Are we learning to love one another from what the scriptures say or through the lens from what our screens say?

So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. - Ephesians 3:17-19 (ESV)

Resilient - Open Windows

Join us as we start our new series, Resilient.  This week Pastor Neli asks the question, "Are we being influenced by a Digital Babylon?" Do you show excellence in how you carry yourself and in your spiritually in God during exile? How do you develop resilience as a part of your lifestyle? If you develop a resilience in your private life, it will overflow into your public life.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. - Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)

The Fight Of Our Lives - No Tripping

Join us as we end our current series, The Fight Of Our Lives.  This week Pastor Neli teaches us how to model after Jesus so we can be free from tripping and stumbling.  If there are times we stumble, those are the times we are outside of God's grace.  How many times as followers of God have we run towards the wrong objective? 

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. - Jude 1:24-25 (ESV)

The Fight Of Our Lives - Invasion Of The Snatchers

Join us as we continue our current series, The Fight Of Our Lives.  This week Pastor Neli teaches us how to fall in love with Jesus.  Do what is fair and just, be compassionate and loyal in our love for others, and walk humbly with God.  Keep yourself in the love of God and let it flow out of your lifestyle.  How seriously do you take God? How is this reflected in the way you love others?

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6:8 (ESV)

The Fight Of Our Lives - Rainless Clouds

Join us as we continue our current series, The Fight Of Our Lives.  This week Pastor Neli continues in the Book of Jude and encourages us not to be "Rainless Clouds", referring to people that look the part but have no weight of character.  How do we know we are carrying the weight of which God has called us to?  Lord, we open our ears and eyes to see and hear the cries of those who You are leading us to.

These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever. - Jude 1:12-13 (ESV)

The Fight Of Our Lives - Prayer For My Haters

Join us as we continue with our current series, The Fight Of Our Lives.  Have you ever been tempted to stop doing the work of God?  This week Pastor Neli helps us how to respond to those who may criticise our work.  When we are completely fulfilled in him, there is no need to worry about what we don’t have because we are faithful to God with what we do have.  God’s glory is best reflected in us when we are completed fulfilled in Him.

And I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” - Nehemiah 6:3 (ESV)
