Unity in Diversity
Sunday, November 1, 2009
Speaker: Wayne Cox
This message is the first in a three week series on spiritual gifts and the church. Our purpose in this brief series is encourage every believer to discover their spiritual gifts and use those various gifts for the good of the kingdom of God.
Mission: Multiplication
Sunday, October 18, 2009
Speaker: Wayne Cox
John 15:1-17. Fruitfulness, growth, and maturity are natural characteristics of God’s people in the Bible. And yet, we’ve become accustomed to a church that is not growing or multiplying in the way it was intended. Our mission is to experience Spirit-driven multiplication on every level: one-on-one, small group, and congregation.
Mission: Disciple-Making
Sunday, October 4, 2009
Speaker: Wayne Cox
The task of disciple-making is central to a biblical, missional church. Beginning with Jesus’ parting words in Matthew 28:18-20, this message takes a look at the task of making disciples of Jesus Christ. Wayne gives two action-steps for us to take: Imitating and Embedding.
Mission: Incarnational vs. Attractional
Sunday, September 27, 2009
Speaker: Wayne Cox
John 20:21. The mission of God has always been about sending and scattering and the modern-day church is often guilty of making it about attracting and gathering. We explore the ways in which Jesus modeled an incarnational mission and what this will mean for his followers. Wayne quoted from the book, The Forgotten Ways, by Alan Hirsch.
Pentecost Sunday
Everyone of us believes in an “unseen” world. This is illustrated by such things as gravity, electricity, and germs. But it’s not just that we believe in unseen realities, we believe those realities affect the “seen” world around us. This is, in essence, the message of Pentecost.
Launch-Pad Church
A look at the church in Antioch in the book of Acts gives us a model for church as a multiplication center. Wayne casts the vision for who The Bridge is becoming!
