Our Purpose

summary

This sermon from Romans 11:33–12:2 taught that worship is much more than singing or attending church—it is a whole-life response to the greatness and mercy of God. After marveling at God's wisdom and grace, Paul calls believers to offer themselves as living sacrifices, living lives of reverence, gratitude, service, and obedience. The main emphasis was that worship does not stop on Sundays; every part of life can become an act of worship when it is lived for God's glory.

Our Purpose

summary

Work is worship when it’s lived as love under God, within your calling, and before the world. Paul calls believers to live a quiet, faithful life—loving others, working diligently, and avoiding anxious striving. Our everyday work is a God-given calling meant to serve others and reflect Christ.

Acts 1:8

Series

Our Purpose

summary

Acts 1:8 teaches that every believer is called to be a witness for Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit. A witness simply tells what they know of Christ and lives in a way that reflects Him. This witness becomes disciple-making as we go, baptize new believers, and teach them to follow Jesus. Beginning locally and extending globally, the mission of the church is Spirit-empowered and shared by all believers through both words and actions.
