Manhood & Womanhood, Media, On Being Human, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In this second week in our series “On Being Human” we get to the topic of men and masculinity. The pivotal questions we shall investigate are: What does it mean to be a man? What is biblical masculinity? How does a man fulfill his God-given calling to be a man? Our study returns us to the garden, where we see God creating man, and establishing him as worker and keeper of the garden. Let’s dive in.

Manhood & Womanhood, Media, On Being Human, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

One of the most profound questions we face in life is, “What is a human being?” It is hard to exaggerate the importance of this topic and the far reaching consequences should we get the answer wrong. In light of that, we’re going to take this fall to look at what it means to be human and how that impacts our understanding of relationships, gender and sexuality. Today, in Genesis 1:26-31, we look at what it means to be created in the image of God.

How do we determine maturity? What does it mean to be mature? Is maturity measured by our most mature act or thought? Or, is maturity measured by the most mature thing we continue to do? Or, is maturity just the matter of doing more mature things than immature things? Or, is maturity just a matter of growing older? What exactly are we aiming for? Today the apostle John, in 1 John 2:12-14, invites us to envision maturity as a process … one that might surprise you.

In the church, we are regularly and rightly encouraged to reflect on the Gospel personally and share the Gospel actively. But what happens when we find we have less confidence in the power of the Gospel that we thought? What happens when we are more ashamed of the Good News than we knew? Romans 1:15-16 shows us that the key to these common struggles in the Christian life are remedied when we see the unique power and scope of the Gospel as the power of God.

Disciple: Living For Jesus, Media, Sermons | by Pastor David Parker

Over the last 5 weeks, we’ve been unpacking what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, and what it practically looks like to follow Him in our everyday lives. As the good news of the gospel penetrates into our hearts and lives, it makes us a new people who are zealous for good works, and growing in their love for God and others. Today, we’re going to wrap up this series and see how our discipleship isn’t something that takes place in isolation, but something that God designed to be worked out in the context of the local church.

Disciple: Living For Jesus, Media, Sermons | by Pierce Martin

In the second half of our Disciple: Living for Jesus series we look at what it is to grow in trusting Jesus as learners. We are all learning from something, we all have a dominant shaping force in our lives. In 2 Peter 1:3-12 Peter reminds us that learning is more than doing, it is knowing who Jesus is. We look at why we learn from Jesus, what we learn from Jesus, how to learn from Jesus, and barriers and application to learning.

This morning we are continuing our six-week summer series called Disciple: Living for Jesus. Our ongoing hope in this series is to provide some theological handles for understanding who we are 'in Christ' and some practical applications for living in light of that. Last week we looked at what it means to be a sent people here in Seattle, and today, we will continue our study and consider how the gospel compels us to serve others for the glory of Christ as living sacrifices.

This morning we are continuing our six-week summer series called Disciple: Living for Jesus. Our on going hope in this series is to provide some theological handles for understanding who we are 'in Christ' and some practical applications for living in light of that. Last week we looked at how the gospel brings us together as a new people, and today, we will continue our study and examine what it means to live as sent people here in Seattle.

Disciple: Living For Jesus, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

The first sermon of the series, we begin with what it means to be “in Christ” – also known as our union with Christ. This union is the beginning, middle, and end of all our discipleship. To be in Christ is an invitation to evaluate our identity in a new way. Our identity in Christ is the heart of what it means to be Christian. In Christ we are a new creation, and experience a dynamic, relational oneness with Christ. As we focus on four different aspects of this union, we see that we are represented by Jesus, that He becomes the foundation of our life, that we are loved with the same love the Father has for the Son, and that we now live before the face of God. Our greatest treasure is being in Christ.

Jesus is on a mission. That mission is to form a new and renewed people through his word for his eternal glory. He is bringing these people together into gospel-centered communities who gather regularly to teach, admonish, and sing. As we explore the corporate means of grace that Paul outlines in Colossians 3:16-17, we will see that much more is at stake when we gather as God's people than we might have thought. In fact, it is just as the Word of Christ dwells richly in us gathered, that we can then be scattered into the world as ambassadors of grace and the gospel.
