Dealing with Our Differences - Chiseled - Part 2

September 16, 2014
What is God using to chisel you into the image of Christ? Will you lie still in His hand and let Him do it?

For Jeremiah, God was using his ministry partner, Baruch, to chisel and hammer him into shape. Jeremiah, too, was chiseling Baruch. Without the encouragement of the other, neither would have had faith enough to finish when their ministry got difficult.

In this final message, based on Jeremiah 36 & 45, from her series Faith Enough to Finish, Jill describes how we can learn to work with and celebrate the differences between us and the people in our lives.

Trying to walk in faith is a day-by-day lesson in leaning on God. It's figuring out moment-by-moment what a Christian life looks like - and it's not easy. Jeremiah had to learn how to have faith like this when he was in the pit, when he was fighting despair and doubt. During this time, God was teaching Jeremiah to put his mind on Him, instead of on the troubles of life. Jeremiah's testimony of learning faith morning by morning is a great lesson for us in pursuing faith, even in doubts and trials. Based on Lamentations 3:19-33, this is the first message in Jill's 3-message series Faith Enough to Finish.

Those who are going through a tough time often ask themselves, "How am I going to get through this?" Many times it may feel like you never will. But faith is something that can get you through anything. In this message, Pete looks at Hebrews 11 and uses the lives of Moses, Joseph, and Rahab as examples of how strong faith can get us through five hard things most people have to face. Based on Hebrews 11:1, this is the final message in Pete's 4-message series In God We Trust.

If we're stuck in the mindset of the church as a building in which we gather, instead of a community of believers, we lose sight of one of the key purposes of the church: to scatter among the lost. The first church understood what it meant to be a rich, powerful community that prepared and supported people for mission work. Have we lost this in our churches today? Based on Acts 2, in the sixth message of Stuart's series Why Church?, Stuart explains the missions of the early church, while encouraging us to use our churches today not just to gather, but also to scatter.

We're fortunate to have 2,000 years of church history and church experience to draw from in our churches today. But what about the first church – the prototype? In this message from Deuteronomy 6, Stuart dives into the origins of church practices as we know them today, where we got our rituals from and how these were redefined in the sacrifice of Jesus. This is the fifth message in the series Why Church?

The church was officially born at Pentecost, when the Spirit of the Lord was sent to indwell Christ's followers. In the fourth message of the series Why Church?, Stuart describes the beginnings of the church and how the indwelling of the Spirit marks the new identity of every believer in Christ. This teaching is based on Acts 1-2.

In Jesus' last days with His disciples, He laid out the blueprints for the founding of His church. He made sure His disciples knew what the church should be, whose it was going to be, and what their jobs were in building it. In this message from Acts 1, Stuart examines these foundational principles and how well our churches today are following them. This is the third message in Stuart's series Why Church?
