The unity of the Spirit is something that every church and every Christian must hold to jealously. Unity is a natural outcome of the gospel. Once disunity is tolerated, sin and shame is sure to follow. But what is it? And how do we go about maintaining it? These are explored in this message.Oleh Matthew Henry

Humans are created in the imago dei, which is not simply a state of being, but a vocation. Being an image-bearer is a calling to create and cultivate in ways that resemble God and benefit others. We participate in making real Jesus’s kingdom when our everyday actions are inspired by a kingdom's imagination. When we create families, art, ministries,…

Pastor Henry shows how the gospel must be central in all that we do. From the foundation of the church to its building up, the gospel has to flow in and out of it. And to the degree the church stays faithful to that gospel, it will be healthy, holy, and missional. Paul gives us a clear pathway to follow in this manner; one that he walked, and one t…

In our current series, we’ve been talking about our practices as a church: gathering, welcoming, and inviting. Today, we focus on the practice of exploring – paying attention to where God is already at work around us, remaining curious and open to surprise. Paul’s journey teaches us that when we slow down, embrace uncertainty, and stay curious, God…

How does a Christian grow? While this may seem obvious too often the answer is anything but the gospel. But that is deadly to the life of each Christian and must be remedied. Pastor Henry seeks to help his congregation to see that the gospel is not something believed and then forgotten; rather it is to define and instruct in all our walk. And only …

In this teaching of The Missio Dei series, we explore the ancient and essential practices of welcoming and inviting, rooted in biblical hospitality. Jesus modeled a radical hospitality that crossed boundaries, inviting the unexpected into His presence. Drawing from stories in Luke 4 and Matthew 25, we see that in welcoming others, we are not just o…

In the prior sermon we learned that the Church, starting with the Apostles, were sent out into the world as the Father sent Christ. However, though this is true and important to embrace, how this actually works itself out in our lives and in history is different for each person. We are uniquely saved and called into the ministry of the gospel. And …

In this teaching of the Missio Dei series, we explore the practice of gathering as a central act of faith. Building on last week’s message from Jordan Moss, we dive into how gathering tells a story of who we are, where we come from, and what God is doing in our midst. Whether around a table or in worship, gathering allows us to celebrate, remember,…

Jesus did not save us for us to sit on our rear ends and relax. He saved us to send us, just and His Father sent Him into this dark world. But too often we as Christians fail to see this, or to take this responsibility seriously. That is sin and it must be repented of by God’s people. In this message Pastor Henry tries to begin to unlock the meanin…

In this series, we revisit our community’s vision and identity, exploring how the presence of God shapes who we are and how we live. Drawing from the Gospel of John, Jordan discusses how our life with God begins in belovedness and intimacy, and how that foundation calls us to embody Jesus’ presence in the world. As loneliness and disconnection grow…

At the top of every sermon note is the mission statement for Missio Dei Fellowship. It is woven into every part of the day to day processes and actions of the church. But having a mission statement and owning that statement are two very different things. In these two sermons the people of Missio are exhorted to carefully consider the what, why and …

In our final teaching in our "Make Good Choices" series, we dive into Paul's teachings from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, where he addresses the Corinthian church's misunderstandings about sexual ethics and freedom. We explore how Paul's ancient wisdom on the value of the body and the importance of love and responsibility in our choices can guide us in de…

In part 3 of our series, Make Good Choices, Heather explores how a Christ-centered community can navigate differences through love, as highlighted in 1 Corinthians. Drawing on Paul's teachings, we discuss the challenges faced by the Corinthians, who, despite their spiritual knowledge, struggled with division and discord. The apostle Paul emphasizes…

In a courtroom setting God calls all of heaven and earth to act as witnesses as He brings charges against His covenant people, Israel. And in doing so we are given a solid glimpse into how those who claim to love God slip into grave sin and, if not stopped, into apostasy.Oleh Matthew Henry

In "Make Good Choices Pt. 2 - See You in Court," we explore how the Corinthian church's approach to conflict—taking disputes to corrupt Roman courts—contradicts the gospel's call for restoration and unity. Throughout this letter, Paul challenges us to handle disagreements within the church by embodying the future kingdom of God now, choosing love a…

In this chapter we see what appears to be the triumph of evil and the reality that the only true victor is God Himself. We start with a murder of a humble Christian and we end with the death of an evil king and the ongoing spread of the gospel.Oleh Matthew Henry

In this teaching from Make Good Choices, Jonny explores the divisions that plagued the early church in Corinth and how they still resonate with us today. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1:1, 10-18, we’ll discuss how Christians often align themselves with different leaders, ideologies, or interpretations, and the impact this has on our unity. Jonny unpac…

The Bible is a wonderful, beautiful, and (if we're being honest) confusing book. It contains some of the greatest stories, moral advice, and life giving wisdom while at the very same time it can be complicated, startling, and hard to understand. What do we do with this wonderfully strange book? How do we read it? How do we engage with it in ways th…

The author, Luke, has been inexorably pressing forward to what amounts to the bursting of a dam. The gospel is not for a people group, it is for the world and in this chapter we see the breaching of the dam as the gospel begins to press rapidly outward into the Gentile lands. And as we examine this story we also have the opportunity to learn a few …

What does peace have to do with the gospel? Peace is central to the mission and work of Jesus.
