Series: Gospel Centered
1 Peter 5:1-5
God calls Himself the shepherd of His people. This pictures Him as loving, caring, correcting, and providing for those who belong to Him. In order to better care for His flock, He appoints some sheep to serve as shepherds under Him. We call these sheep leading sheep, pastors. From 1 Peter, we are encouraged by understanding the role of a pastor as he shepherds and cares for the sheep of God's pasture.

Jun 1, 2014Putting Things In OrderBy: Andy BrownSeries: Gospel CenteredTitus 1:5-9Life is much better with order. One could even say that life is not possible without order. God is a God of order and has placed a certain order for how we worship as His body, the Church. Though we must confess that the Bible is not a manual for the ordering of a worship service, we can take clues from the text of Scripture and arrange our order with conviction. In Titus, Paul instructs a young apostolic representative to put things into order at a young church in Crete. First on Paul's list is the charge to appoint able men to lead the church called elders.

May 25, 2014No Higher CallingBy: Andy BrownSeries: Gospel Centered1 Timothy 3:1-7Luther said, "If I could today become a king or emperor, I would not give up my office as preacher." God, in His wisdom and grace, appoints men to lead the church. These are not just any men, these are men who have been and are being transformed by the grace of Jesus Christ. These are men who are vehemently pursuing Christ and are being transformed into His image. As they pursue the One who has pursued them they encourage others to join them in their pursuit. Come and join us as we look to Scripture to understand the office of pastor.

May 11, 2014Esteeming God's Standard Over All OthersBy: Andy BrownSeries: Gospel Centered1 Timothy 2:8-15God's ways are the best ways. We can say that God's ways are the best ways but unless we put to practice His ways we really don't believe that His ways are best. His ways often times means that the world will look at us strange, but for us who esteem His ways above all others the world's esteem of us does not matter. The reason the approval of the world does not matter is that we realize and know that we have the greatest treasure; we have the affection of God. Join us as our Pastor encourages us to take apply the truth of God's Word to our lives.
