    A Gathered People

    Pentecost represents far more than a miraculous moment in church history - it's the breakthrough of God's eternal kingdom into our present world. Like experiencing technology from the future today, Pentecost allowed God's people to participate in what will be while living in what is. This transforms us from passive spectators waiting for heaven into active participants in God's kingdom work happening right now.The Old Testament prophets painted a vivid picture of God's ultimate plan: gathering His scattered people from across the earth and including people from every nation. Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel all spoke of this great gathering, and Pentecost marked its beginning. When the apostles spoke in languages they'd never learned to devout people from every nation under heaven, it wasn't just miraculous - it was the reversal of Babel's curse and the start of God's global gathering.Today, something even more remarkable is happening. Across the globe, God's mighty works are being proclaimed in every language - Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, and countless others. We are part of a global, multi-ethnic, multinational, multilingual family that began gathering at Pentecost. When we proclaim God's mighty works because we're saved by Jesus and filled with His Spirit, we're participating in the future kingdom that has become present reality. The choice remains the same as it was then: we can either marvel at what God is doing and participate, or mock and explain it away. Salvation and participation belong to those who choose to marvel.

  • Saved to Serve Lesson 2 - Sin

    Saved to Serve Lesson 2 - Sin
    Jan 11 2026
    The fundamental purpose of human existence is to work as faithful stewards of God's creation, bringing order to the world in service to our Creator. However, sin enters when we begin serving other masters—whether our careers, families, personal ambitions, or any other good thing that becomes an ultimate thing in our lives. This transformation of good things into idols represents the core of unfaithful stewardship, where we take what God has given us and use it for purposes other than His glory.Genesis provides three powerful illustrations of this destructive pattern. In the Garden of Eden, the serpent successfully sowed distrust between humanity and God by questioning God's generosity and goodness. When Adam and Eve chose to listen to voices other than their Creator's, corruption spread throughout their relationships, their work, and the very land they were meant to steward. The flood narrative shows spiritual beings abandoning their assigned roles to pursue their own desires, resulting in such widespread corruption that God chose to start over with Noah. At Babel, people worked diligently but served themselves rather than God, building monuments to their own glory until God scattered them in confusion.The hope lies in Jesus Christ, who came as the perfect steward and second Adam. Where the first Adam failed by listening to the wrong voice, Jesus demonstrated perfect faithfulness to the Father. Through Him, we can be restored to our intended role as God's faithful servants, learning to distinguish between His voice and the competing voices of creation, and choosing to order our lives in service to our true Master rather than the good things that threaten to become ultimate things.

  • Saved To Serve - Lesson 1 - Working

    Saved To Serve - Lesson 1 - Working
    Jan 4 2026
    The way we think about work fundamentally shapes our entire approach to life. While culture tells us that work is something to endure so we can pursue pleasure and comfort, the biblical narrative reveals a completely different story. Work existed before the fall and was part of God's original, very good design for humanity. In Genesis, we see that humans were placed in Eden not just to enjoy paradise, but to work it, keep it, and extend its order to the ends of the earth.Being made in God's image means we serve as His visible representatives on earth - living, breathing images of the invisible God. Unlike pagan cultures where only royalty was considered divine images, every human being regardless of status bears this incredible dignity. God gave humanity dominion, which means we're called to rule and reign as stewards of His creation. We're not owners but managers, entrusted with bringing order from chaos in service to the ultimate Owner.From a biblical perspective, work can be defined as bringing order to the world in someone else's service. Whether you're organizing plants as a landscaper, numbers as an accountant, or information as a teacher, you're participating in the same kind of creative, ordering work that God did in Genesis 1. The crucial question becomes: in whose service are we working? When we accept Jesus' invitation and step into His story, our work takes on profound meaning. Every aspect of life becomes holy service to our Creator, transforming not just our Monday morning attitude but our entire approach to the responsibilities God has placed before us.
