  Matthew 22 - Sincere

  Sep 13, 202628 min

  Guest speaker Blake Wright of Resurrection Church in Sanford closes the network values series with 'sincere,' contrasting the Pharisees' flattery in Matthew 22 with Jesus' call to love God and neighbor, a sincerity he lived out through every healing and conversation. Drawing on 1 Timothy 1:5 and the early church in Acts 2:42-47, he describes a sincere church as one that loves one another, serves because people matter to Jesus, and knows it belongs to Christ.

  Acts 11 - Collaborative

  Aug 30, 202632 min

  Guest speaker Russ Peterson continues the network values series with 'collaborative,' tracing the word to the Latin for working together and finding the pattern in Acts, where the temple-observant Jerusalem church and the multicultural Antioch church strengthen each other in both directions — Barnabas sent north, famine relief sent back. The Jerusalem Council then models how collaboration survives disagreement: much debate, then silence and listening, and finally shared ground rules the Spirit worked out among them.

  Hebrews 11 - Adventurous

  Aug 23, 202625 min

  Opening a four-week series on the multi-site network's core values, this message takes up 'adventurous' through Hebrews 11 — the Hall of Faith, where at least half the examples are people who died without receiving what they were promised. Faith persists because the God of Abraham is broader and deeper than the grave, as the cross and resurrection show, and that conviction frees a church to take risks in loving its neighbors.

  Isaiah 5

  Aug 16, 202629 min

  A guest speaker works through Isaiah 5's song of the vineyard: God created, cultivated, and protected Israel as a vineyard meant to bear good fruit, yet it yielded rotten fruit — he looked for justice but saw bloodshed, for righteousness but heard cries of distress. Drawing on Micah 6:8 and John 15, it frames righteousness as right relationship with God that flows outward into justice, and Jesus as the true vine we are grafted into.

  1 Corinthians 12

  Aug 9, 202629 min

  Opening a series on the church shared with two sister congregations in Lake Mary and Sanford, this message works through Paul's body analogy in 1 Corinthians 12:12-20, teaching that the church is a cohesive unit of distinct members with reciprocal need: you both belong and are needed.
