Genesis 1:26a & 1:27.
Gender is a charged topic in culture today. No cap. From gender dysphoria to pride month, how do we as Christian interact and engage in this conversation posed by surrounding culture.

Big Idea:
Many people have experienced heartache, heartbreak, brokenness, and anguish at levels that don’t easily go away. It lingers. It lasts. It’s there. Grace meets us there amid the unresolved places in our lives. Today we affirm those who require an understanding of grace that takes seriously the fragility of our jars of clay and lasting thorns, left in place to display the strength of God in our weakness.

Big Idea:
Growth in the grace of God is essential. Many of us have journeys marked by moments when grace found its way into our lives in significant ways. We point back to those moments. We celebrate those moments. However, we must find a way to live between these significant moments. John Wesley understood the importance of what we’ve come to call the “means of grace.” We need consistent Christian practices to nurture and nourish the grace we live into daily. We are responsible to cooperate with God’s grace throughou...

The objective of this week's sermon is to explore what could be one of the most exciting and intriguing claims of Wesleyan theology: prevenient grace. Dr. Busic in Way, Truth, Life calls it “seeking grace.” As Wesleyans, we believe that grace is at work long before we understand what grace even is.

2023-01-2635 minThe Crossroads PodcastChill or Be Still?Stillness. It's something that we need so desperately in a frantic world but feels impossibly out of reach. Yet when the Bible commands, "Be still and know that I am God," is stillness a state that can be feasibly achieved? Or are we left to vague instructions that leave us still feeling dissatisfied? In today's episode, we're expanding the conversation on stillness, and how a Christian's life can be marked with immovable peace.

Verse 17-20

• “Boast not against the branches” - This is the reason for verse 13 and why Paul points to his apostleship to address these/this Gentiles.
• “but if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee” – These Gentiles are graffed into Israel’s promises. The root/tree bears the branches. Without Israel and their covenants these Gentiles would have nothing.
• We are the Body of Christ, not a tree – Gal 3:28.

Verse 13-16
• “For I speak to you Gentiles” – These are Gentiles that were part of the remnant and the reason Paul addresses them is because they are boasting against Israel – vs 18, 20.
• Remember Paul had never been to Rome, he is writing to people who knew Christ already – Rom 16:3,7. Paul writes to the remnant – 2Pet 3:15, Rom 2:17.
• “I magnify mine office…..if by any means…. I might save some” – The reason Paul is magnifying his office is to provoke Israel to jealousy in hopes that some might get saved – This is the same reason that salvation went to these Gentiles – vs 11.

But they weren’t stranded; He told them that He would be with them to the end; that the Holy Spirit who had been with them—would now be in them—and He would give them awesome power. The disciples understood that Jesus’ call, Jesus’ promise, Jesus’ command, and Jesus’ power wasn’t just for them. They took Him seriously, engaged under very difficult circumstances—and they prevailed! But, the unfortunate part of history for followers...

Unfortunately, many sons never walk in their full inheritance because they either live as a rebel, or a Pharisee. Neither of them believe the Father can bless them, and so both choose to live orphan-hearted lives. They fight and compete to try and get what they want, and even if they...
