Sometimes we have to cut really important pieces from our sermons for the sake of time. However, we want to share an additional 12 minutes on something crucial to our church: what we mean when we say, “living on mission” and how we do that scattered across the city and gathered together in communities.
Jesus' Mission is More
Ideal Community Through Jesus
In this sermon, Brad Watson preaches on Acts 2:41-47 and how we struggle to live that idilic community not because we don’t try and don’t want to, but because we’re hindered by wounds, shame, and guilt that Jesus deals with through his life, death, and resurrection. Brad reminds us of three stories in the life of Jesus where he healed, removed shame, and forgave sins so others could enter community.
Jesus Creates Community
In this sermon, Brad Watson teaches from John 13:34-35 and how Jesus' love for us creates the foundational resource from which we live out the command to love one-another in community.
Jesus Changes Where We Live
In this sermon, Brad Watson teaches on Luke 4:14-21 and how the good news about Jesus is not just that he transforms us, but that he also transforms the world.
Jesus Changes Who We Are
In this sermon, Brad Watson teaches on how Jesus' call to follow him is also a calling to be transformed by him. Brad traces the language of God to call to follow and to make new while also speaking to how we, as a church, have an expectation that we will be transformed.
The Invitation to Jesus
The first sermon of our Sent Together series. Brad Watson begins by introducing our entire series on the cost and joy of discipleship. Then (09:59) preaches through Luke 5:27-32 and the invitation of Jesus.
