Dr. David Swanson | Psalm 145:4, 13-21 As we point to the next 150 years, we can take great comfort in God's dominion and faithfulness through ALL generations. Our task is to continue to love Him well, to desire Him fully in all the challenges of life, and to take seriously the charge to commend Him to the next generations.
Dr. Jack Peebles | Psalm 145:1-12 It would be tempting to stand on the precipice of such a milestone and pat ourselves on the back, but David makes it clear that praise belongs to One and only One. He is the reason we are still here after 150 years. The good and the bad, He has used it all, so we appropriately praise Him today as we point to the future.
Dr. David Swanson | Psalm 90:1-12 As we get ready to celebrate 150 years, Psalm 90 offers us a helpful reset on the important things to remember at such a time—who we belong to, who is in charge, who is making a mess of it, and why such reflection matters.
Rev. Alexa Holcomb | Revelation 22:1-5 When we think about our call to global mission, we often think (rightly!) about being obedient to the Great Commission. But do we reflect on the beauty of that promise fulfilled, that heaven will be full of people from all nations and cultures of the world we live in now? It is essential to what makes heaven, heaven–the fulfillment of God’s plan of redemption, the tree of life bearing leaves that heal the nations. Do we long for that future glory? Are we...
Dr. David Swanson | Matthew 6:30-34 Jesus' words in Matthew 6 discuss our fears and insecurities, things that often keep us from being full participants in God's Kingdom work. Jesus flips it around when He says if we'll seek Him first - jump in - we'll wind up with the very thing we worried about to begin with.
Dr. David Swanson | Ephesians 4:11-13 It is increasingly difficult to faithfully live the Christian life in this culture, but if we have any shot, we have to focus on being equipped and prepared, something the church is called to do.
Rev. Tanner Fox | Ephesians 4:1-6 Ephesians gives us a beautiful picture of moving from death to life in Christ while also offering us a vision of what this life ought to look like! After Paul describes all who are being brought in, Jews and Gentiles alike, he moves to reveal the nature of the calling of the Christian. Before we are sent into the world with fruits of the Spirit, we are to practice the bonds of belonging with fellow believers.
Dr. David Swanson | Colossians 3:17 We value doing things for the Lord to the best of our ability. We do that in the knowledge of our sin and brokenness, trusting that God will use our meager efforts for His glory.
Dr. David Swanson | John 12:1-8 God has lavished His love and grace on us sacrificially. As His people, it is therefore incongruous that we would not also be lavishly generous in our lives.
Dr. Paul Gibson | Mark 10:35-45 In Mark 10, Jesus said that He came to serve, not to be served. That is the true mark of leadership, focusing on serving others and lifting them up. The best leaders often are never heard of because they make their lives about serving others.
Rev. Tanner Fox | Psalm 130 The Advent season throws into sharp contrast both joy and sorrow. How do we make space for the sadness and sorrow inherent in our world during the Christmas season? How do we hold that together with the joy of these times? We look to the Psalmist for guidance, and remind ourselves that together we must watch and wait for the coming of our beloved savior, Jesus.
Dr. David Swanson | Matthew 2:1-12 The One the Magi traveled to meet was understood to be of infinite worth — a King. As such, they gave sacrificially even as God was giving to them.
Dr. Jack Peebles | Luke 2:8-18 The shepherds remind us that the good news of Christ’s birth is for the lowly and overlooked. Their joy turned into proclamation, showing us how encountering Jesus transforms ordinary lives into living witnesses of God’s glory.
Dr. David Swanson | Luke 1:26-38 Throughout Scripture, we encounter many angels, but especially in the Advent season. What's up with Gabriel and the legions who sang to the shepherds? It is the gift of a supernatural world we pay so little attention to in our lives.
Dr. David Swanson | Luke 3:1-6 Advent is NOT Christmas. We do not start with Joy to the World but with John the Baptist in the wilderness and darkness - calling people to prepare.
Dr. David Swanson | Psalm 90:1 We value the multi-generational nature of the church, believing God uses every generation in the church's life to impart both love and wisdom.
Dr. David Swanson | Philippians 2:1-4 We belong one to another in the Body of Christ, and caring for one another is our first order of service. We love each other deeply, especially in times of crisis.
Dr. David Swanson | Jeremiah 29:2-11 Our church is only one year older than the city of Orlando (essentially our region). We have grown up together and we have served her well. Jeremiah continues to be a clarion all to continue to do just that - love the city.
Dr. David Swanson | 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Our first core value is first among equals - the one on which the others are derived - the truth/foundation of God's Word.
Rev. Tanner Fox | Philippians 2:1-4 What then is a life of humility? What is the gift of a life of downward mobility, lowliness, making much of others and of God while thinking very little of the self? Could it be the blessed freedom that we so desperately long for? Could a life of humility, manifesting as a continual love of God and neighbor, be to us a gift of peace and rest far greater than any we have sought or found on our own? May we be filled with grace to know the true gift that lies ...
