Beyond the Building

This week Ian, Owen, Jeb, Zach and Kaylin discuss their takeaways from Compass Worship. We continued our series on the book of Acts looking at Acts 5:12-42. Through these verses we saw the motivation of the church was to love God, love people and proclaim Jesus. We also were challenge to consider what truly motivates us and what we may need to do to shift our motivations into the proper place.Our hope and prayer is that through the Beyond the Building podcast you would continue the conversation of God's Word in your home, on your campus, in your workplace and neighborhood so His gospel can be shared with all.For more details on Compass Ministries visit our website at www.compassjn146.org or follow us on Facebook or Instagram @compassjn146.

We are in week 3 of our Rivals series at Compass Worship. We are looking at some of the rivalries in God's Word and how we can keep from repeating history and see some amazing characteristics of our God. This week we looked at the rivalry between the Jews and the Gentiles. What we saw from Acts 10 & 11 was that God erased every boundary that once existed so that ALL people could have access to Him through the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We were challenged to understand that when we judge others we are; shrinking God's Kingdom, re-drawing boundaries that God erased and living self-righteously thinking the Kingdom is just for us. Listen in as Ian, Chloe, Grant and Bri, share their takeaways from this week's teaching. Our hope and prayer is that through the Beyond the Building podcast you would continue the conversation of God's Word in your home, on your campus, in your workplace and neighborhood so His gospel can be shared with all.

We are in week 2 of our Rivals series at Compass Worship. We are looking at some of the rivalries in God's Word and how we can keep from repeating history and see some amazing characteristics of our God. This week we looked at King Saul vs. David (specifically in 1 Samuel 24 & 26). Through this almost one sided rivalry we learned how to truly love our enemies (Matthew 5:43-44). While David had only supported and helped King Saul to find success as king, Saul saw David's rise in popularity as a threat. This perceived threat led to jealous, bitterness and paranoia and a pursuit to end David's life. David however, two different times had a chance to end the rivalry by taking the life of his "enemy." Instead of desiring revenge David chose humility over hostility and chose to trust God with the ultimate outcome. That is loving your enemy! That is the gospel! That God valued us "while we were sinners" and sent His Son to die for us even though we didn't deserve it, even though our sin made us His enemy. Choosing to value all people because all people are valuable to God and trusting that God is the ultimate judge of all hearts and that He is a just God allows us to pursue Jesus command for us to Love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Listen in as Ian, Ava, Dmitri, and Aidan share their takeaways from this week's teaching. Our hope and prayer is that through the Beyond the Building podcast you would continue the conversation of God's Word in your home, on your campus, in your workplace and neighborhood so His gospel can be shared with all.

This week at Compass Worship we started a new series called Rivals. We are going to be looking at some of the rivalries in God's Word and how we can keep from repeating history and see some amazing characteristics of our God. This week we looked at Cain vs. Able. Though it was a short lived rivalry it showed us how comparison can lead to hurt, hurt to jealousy, jealousy to anger and anger well in this case to murder. We learned that in order to keep sin from controlling us we need to Guard your heart from comparison, Take conviction seriously, Deal with emotions early and Never underestimate God’s mercy. We also saw through this rivalry that while God is a just God, He is also a merciful God who warns us before sin, confronts after sin, continues to show us grace and mercy despite our sin and that He is always pursuing you desiring to provide and protect you through the life, death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

This week at Compass Worship we finished up our "Just Tell Me Already" series. We focused on the principle of if we are pursuing His person, then we should wisely pursue our passions. We then looked at four ways God has given us to wisely pursue our passions; running everything through the filter of His Word, leaning into the presence of His Spirit, having a counsel of close spiritual companions and through the merging of multiple moments of our lives. If we will do that God will shape us into the right people, in the right places at the right time for His right purposes.

This week at Compass Worship we were in week 3 of our "Just Tell Me Already" series. We focused in on the life of Jospeh and learned some important truths about God's will for our lives. WE saw that God is more concerned about who we are than He is where we go or what we do. He desires to shape us into being the right person in the right place at the right time for His right purposes. He also learned that God is always at work in our lives even in the dark. When we are feeling alone, betrayed, forgotten, our inexhaustible God is always working His plan out for the good of those who love Him.

This week at Compass Worship we were in week 2 of our "Just Tell Me Already" series. We focused in on Psalm 37. We continued building on the foundational truth that God's will is more about who you are becoming than it is where you go or what you do. We learned this week that sometimes that means we find ourselves in a season of waiting. Waiting on the Lord is an active thing. We keep doing the right thing, right now as we dependently wait on the Lord trusting that His view is greater and His faithfulness is forever.

This week at Compass Worship we began a 4 week series we are calling "Just Tell Me Already!" We are going to journey through scripture to see God's will and direction for our lives. This week we laid a foundational truth that God is much more concerned with who you are becoming than He is what you do or where you go. God longs to be with us and longs for us to simply trust that He has good plans and He is faithful in carrying them out if we will just trust and allow Him to lead us. We closed our time with the words of David from Psalm 25:4-5 and asked God to "Show us His way, teach us His path, and guide us in His Truth in every aspect of our lives in every day of our lives. When we embrace this mindset and heart posture we can have confidence that we are in the center of God's will. Listen in as Ian, Madison, Katie, Maya and Ellie share their takeaways from week 1.

This week at Compass Worship we concluded our 10:10 Life series by focusing on the fullness of hope that is found when we anchor our lives to the life of Jesus, the cross and the resurrection of Jesus. We focused on the truth that Jesus is the only unshakeable hope that we have in this life, everything else that we try to put our hope in will ultimately fail us and leave us drifting. We looked at some of the promises of God and how the resurrection has solidified every one of those promise.

This week were encouraged by Toby Middlesworth to Get in the "game" and stay in the "game." The game is living the life that Christ has called us to. We focused on having and eternal perspective and understanding that all we do is for God not us so that the world around us can see Him through our lives.

This week at Compass Worship we continued our series on generosity called Everything & More. We are focused on 2 Corinthians 8 & 9 and looking at how we build our faith by understanding and practicing generosity in our lives. This week we look specifically at the call to "excel in the ministry of giving." Paul encouraged the church in Corinth to close the gap between intentions and actions and to finish their commitment to give. We also discussed how giving is what we do, generous is who we are. While focusing on 2 Corinthians 8:10-12 we saw 3 attributes of generous people; give willingly, proportionately, and sacrificially. If we want to be generous people we need to plan and practice generosity in every aspect of our lives.

This week at Compass Worship we concluded our "Strange Stories" series by looking at Judges 3. We saw that even when we are faithless God is faithful. We looked at the cycle of the Israelites; Rebel against God, be oppressed, cry out to God, God provides a Judge, live in peace and then repeat. God heard their cries time and time again and He hears us when we cry out to him as well. We also saw that God can and desires to use anyone to bring Him glory. We looked at Ehud who was from a small and morally bankrupt tribe and who was left-handed (not that there is anything wrong with that today) man to be the deliverer of His people.
