Jeff is the Lead Pastor at The Gathering Ottawa and preaches most Sunday mornings.
Servanthood is about so much more than just doing nice things for other people; it's about the way that we see other people and live our lives in community with other people. It's about living our lives as Jesus lived his life. So, what might it look like for us to be more intentional to embrace servanthood as we head in to the fall season together? What might God do in and through us as a church as we increasingly live with an 'others-first mentality'?
Text: John 13:1-17
Spiritual friendship does not happen by accident; we need to be intentional about it. This is what we do ‘Home Church’. So how can we be sure our Home Churches are safe places where we can pursue intentional community together?
Text: Genesis 1:26-27 & 2:18-25, Acts 2:42-47
Jesus’ dying prayer was that we would be one just as he and his Father are one. But what does that look like? Why’s it important to be connected to people we might disagree with?
Text: John 17
Following Jesus is a team sport. It is impossible to become more like Christ on our own; we need one another to grow in our faith! So, how can we as a church family better support and encourage one another as we head into the fall together? What are some steps we can take to be more intentional to ‘connect’ with one another and ‘grow’ in our faith together? Where does ‘Home Church’ in to the mix? What about serving and volunteering? And what about ‘spiritual friendship’ and being the kind of friends that point one another to Jesus? Join us in September as we talk about how we can “Connect & Grow” together!
Today's Sermon: “Spiritual Friendship, Becoming Mat Carriers"
Sermon Description: The most important thing we could ever do for our hurting friends is to carry them to Jesus. So how do we do that? What does ‘Spiritual Friendship’ look like?
Text: Mark 2:1-12
One of the questions every human hearts asks is "Does my life really matter?" In Psalm 139, David answers this question in a profound way, showing us just how much we matter to God. This Sunday, Pastor Jeff will be looking at the second half of this amazing Psalm by continuing to reflect on the value of the human life in the eyes of God.
