Engage Church Podcast (Special Service)

As we continue in our midweek series lookin to help believers mature in their faith, we have a guest pastor, Ben Kampfer from Downtown Community Church, speaking about communication as it relates to sharing the gospel. Pastor Ben teaches on the biggest hinderance of people sharing their faith is because they are insecure. A great way to combat the insecurity is being sure of why you believe what you believe.

As we continue in our summer series highlighting what it means to be a mature Christian, Pastor Adrian speaks to us about personal responsibility. He teaches us that true personal responsibility viewed through the lens of the gospel looks very different than personal responsibility trumpeted in our culture. Pastor Adrian also weaves in how the church and mature believers must take up the responsibility to usher in a new time period of race relations that does not overlook issues or abdicates the role that God has called us to play.

Often times, people limit the work of Jesus' gospel to having the ability to impact only the external aspects of our lives, such as our behaviors. Throughout this series Pastor Adrian will discuss the desire of Jesus to have His gospel not solely result in behavior modification. Jesus' hope is that it would penetrate every portion of our lives, especially our emotions and motives that drive our behaviors. We will see how spiritual maturity is impossible without allowing the gospel to impact and renew our emotions.

At the beginning of the year people are always making New Year's resolutions. Today, Pastor Adrian encourages us to not settle for behavior modification, but to accept Jesus' plan to revolutionize our entire lives. In our own strengths our resolutions rarely ever make it to the end of the year. Rather we should receive Jesus' finished work on the cross that allows and enables us to be changed at our core.

Christmas is a time when gifts are given and received. The greatest gift in history was when God sent down His son Jesus to the earth. This gift, however, has met up against the greatest opposition of any other gift in through all time. The greatest obstacle to receiving this wonderful gift is the perspective held by the receiver. We examine the difference between those who had a skewed perspective of Jesus birth which caused the gift to not be received, while also looking to those who waited in great anticipation for this life altering gift.

In our country today, true Christian belief has been, in large part, replaced by a hodgepodge of beliefs. Jesus' gospel message, at times, is in direct opposition to the belief systems at work in our culture. The question then becomes: At the end of your life where will you stand with Jesus based on His teachings?
