The Heart of Worship | week one Introduction and Definitions September 17, 2017

by Joshua Rupp Sermons

Worship. It’s what you were made for. But, what do we really mean when we use the word “worship” and how does the practice of it shape our lives? Is worship simply a collection of catchy lyrics and ethereal guitar parts or a 20-minute segment at the beginning of a church gathering? Perhaps… worship is much, much more.

Over the next 7 weeks, we will be delving deeper into the subject of worship, what it is, what it looks like to practice a lifestyle of worship, and more. Brian will be kicking the series off this week with INTRODUCTIONS AND DEFINITIONS. We hope you’ll join us!

The Put On | Leon DeHaan September 10, 2017

by Joshua Rupp Sermons

“But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him.”
Colossians 3.8-10 NASB

We’re honored once again to have Leon DeHaan with us, teaching on putting off the old man and putting on the NEW; (1) what it means, (2) how we do it, (3) the process of renewal, and (4) the goal toward which we are being renewed. Leon is a pastor of pastors, a seasoned Bible teacher and is always a blessing.
