Displaying the Holy Name
One of the first phrases in the Lord's Prayer is ...
One of the first phrases in the Lord's Prayer is 'hallowed be your name,' and most of us have prayed it countless times. But what does it even mean? What are we asking God to do, and how does this prayer relate to how we live our lives as Kingdom people?

The Great and Holy Smallness of God (Christmas Eve)
Christ's entrance into our world is both great and small. ...
Christ's entrance into our world is both great and small. Jesus is the Son of God, a great and holy king. Yet he enters the world without much attention - in a small stable as a small child. Strangely, that "smallness" adds to his greatness. We ponder that "smallness" during our Christmas Eve service.

Christmas is a time of celebration and hope! The birth of Jesus celebrates the coming of the promised Messiah. God loved us so much that he gave the gift of His only Son, Jesus, to redeem and bring us back into relationship with Him. As we celebrate the coming of Jesus, we also expectantly await Christ's return.

Prayer is one of the most important aspects of our lives as Kingdom people. So why is it something we struggle with so much? Jesus used the Lord's Prayer to teach his disciples when they asked him how they should pray. Perhaps surprisingly, his example is very different than the way many of us pray today. If we started from scratch, what kind of prayer life could we have if we followed this example from Jesus?

A Birthday Prayer
It's easy to both love and hate the Christmas season. ...
It's easy to both love and hate the Christmas season. On one hand, it's a sacred time when we remember and celebrate Christ's birth. But on the other, our culture has made it into a frenzy of consumerism and materialism. In the Lord's Prayer we find all the basics of what it looks like to follow Jesus. What can we learn from this example that will help us keep our Kingdom priorities during the craziness of the Christmas season?

Unleashing Inner Beauty

We are one-of-a-kind revolutionaries with inner greatness meant to glorify God. He has a unique calling for each of us - something that he's given us special gifts and passion for - and we'll never be truly fulfilled until we follow it! But too often our God-given beauty gets caged in culturally conditioned lies about why we can't do the extraordinary things we're meant to do. God is calling Kingdom people to unleash the beauty he's built into each of us!

Revolting Purity

God warns us to preserve sex for marriage, but why is it such a big deal? Our culture tells us that sex is recreational, but from God's perspective whenever two people engage in sexual intercourse, they are sealing a sacred covenant that was meant to never be broken. God cares about our sex lives because he cares about the covenants we make with each other. As Kingdom people, we're called to revolt against the corruption of our culture and be examples of his beautiful design for sexuality.

A Better Way

Luke's story of Mary and Martha is very relevant for our culture: like Martha, we are obsessed with working and producing, even in the church! It's clear that Mary's 'better way' revolts against simply 'doing' and prioritizes a relationship with Christ. When that's in place, the kingdom will naturally flow from us. But the opposite is not true. We'll never get a relationship with Jesus by focusing on what we do. Greg also ties this important lesson to marriages.

Surprised by the Outcast
Living in love for all people is one of the ...
Living in love for all people is one of the greatest challenges we face as Christians. Today, as in Jesus' time, we often ask theoretical questions to justify ourselves and to limit who we love. In this message we're challenged to ask how we self-sacrificially love and learn from those around us, including 'outcasts' in our life. One crucial way to revolt against the systems of this world is to serve and be blessed by people who are judged by others.

The Relational Way

The Revolting Beauty series continues as we are brought face to face with the very heart of God and the center of the Kingdom: namely, Jesus' teaching on self-sacrificial love. In this sermon we learn about the four types of love, and the importance of living in such a way that God's agape-love flows to and through us. Finally, Greg helps us consider some of the areas in our culture that we will naturally "revolt" against if we are walking in the "relational way" of God's self-sacrificial love.
