Give God Time to Speak (Growth Conference, part 1 of 4)
Mark lays the foundation on which effective missions can grow by introducing the importance of giving God time to speak.
The Mission of Jesus
What is the mission of Jesus? What might be the conclusion of those looking in at the church from the outside? On this “Mission Sunday” Jacob addresses this question with a translation from Moni, the pastor of the Cambodian Vineyard.
Looking for More: Be More
We are called to imitate God. The key is knowing and abiding in Jesus, since as the Word tells us, "apart from Him, we can do nothing."
Change Your Thoughts, Change Your World
Thoughts determine how we feel. Change your thoughts, and you will change your world.
A Life of Unity and Diversity
In Ephesians 4, Paul exhorts the diverse body of Christ to lead a life worthy of their calling and to be patient with one another. Although you come with different backgrounds, in Christ you find a unique oneness.
Paul the Persecutor, Complete in Christ
As with the life of Paul, God can turn what the enemy used for evil and use it for good. God often uses our past for the Kingdom.
Building Each Other Up
The call on the church is to unity with a goal of supporting andbuilding each other up. Let’s do it!
Looking for More: The Mystery of Christ
Darrell delves into Ephesians 3 to illustrate the unfolding layers of the Gospel. As we look deeper, Paul’s letter discloses God’s plan from the beginning.
Looking for More: The Many Become One
We were ultimately meant to become citizens of a culture that is inclusive. Let’s listen in as Darrell shares with us what it means to be a part of the one family in Christ.
Looking for More: Significant Relationships
In most areas of life, we all are looking for significant relationships. The Gospel brings those who seek God into a relationship with Him where “They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.” Darrell shares a word from Ephesians 2 that defines us as “God’s masterpiece,” and the mark toward which we move when we are “looking for more.”
Looking for More: God's Good Plan
Real, substantive growth and transformation come as we bow before God and yield to His good plan for our lives. In this message, Darrell unpacks the steps that would empower those who are looking for more, to get off the fenceand live as God intended.
Community of Growth
2016 was a year of awakening for Oasis, which has left us with the question, “Awakened for what?” Daniel shares a message in response that outlines a vision of growth that is community oriented. The starting point challenges each of us individually to engage and respond.
Our Walk in Christ
Darrell exhorts us from the book of Ephesians to consider a “walk” that is worthy of the special relationship to God that Christ has made available to us. In this message, he emphasizes how we live out this walk in Christ as we engage one another. In this pursuit, we find that Christ is formed in us.
The Heart Comes Home - To Love
With all the distractions of life, the only way to successfully pursue love in our relationships is to “remain in the vine” as John 15 tells us. Monira exhorts us to connect with the relentless love of the Father for every human being as revealed in the love of Christ. Abiding in the vine empowers us to love in the most difficult of circumstances. Come home to this kind of love as you celebrate the birth of the Savior.
The Heart Comes Home to Joy
Darrell shares a message on the power of Joy to help us overcome and endure. This Christmas let’s come home to this unspeakable joy.
The Heart Comes Home - To Hope and Peace
There are often times in life when we wander away from our roots, only to eventually find our way home. This advent season we will be looking through the perspective of the Gospel of John as he displays for us the advent of Christ and the meaning of our journey home to Him. In today’s message, Daniel emphasizes a message of hope and peace as we prepare our hearts for the Christmas season.
Thriving in Christ
Jesus defines God for us as He embodies the attributes that make possible that “super abundant” life in Christ. The overflow of this life results in a generosity that is both spontaneous and intentional. In this message, Darrell clarifies that work of grace which produces the generous life.
Thrive or Survive
As believers, God’s promise to us is that our lives should be abundant in ways that go far beyond finances, but we have an enemy who wants to rob us of this blessing. In this two part message, Darrell seeks to tear down the idols that interfere with this central purpose of God.
