Jude wanted to write about the wonderful grace of God, but he couldn’t, instead he had to put out a fire. He was forced to encourage the believers to fight against false teachers in their midst, Antinomians. Individuals who abused the grace of God, by using it as an excuse to sin. Jude points out the Antinomians and calls their views a virus in the church. So . . . how do we deal with similar types in the church today? Join us as we discover the right way to deal with license and also point out how we often just solve one problem with another. Sermon originally preached on April 22, 2012.

“A Three Hour Tour” – Acts 2:42-47 – SERIES: MISSION
Who is a minister of the Gospel? Answer: Every single believer is a Spirit-empowered minister of the gospel. In the Great Commission Jesus calls on us to not just make converts, but to make disciples. One way we do that is by bringing them into the community of believers, helping them to leave behind old values and ways of life and embrace Christ-likeness. BUT . . . we can only do this if we are the spirit-led community that God intends us to be. Join us as we talk about what vibrant community looks like and how to avoid the attitudes that crush it. Sermon originally preached on March 11, 2012.
