Missio Dei Fellowship

Paul's first missionary journey is underway and we see how persistence in this labor is necessary as the spread of the gospel will always result in resistance. Here we follow Paul and Barnabas further along in their first journey into the Gentile world of Asia Minor.

This is a basic overview of the doctrine of election. In this message we attempt to clarify and correct common misconceptions that arise over time. The goal is to appreciate that there is a lot more going on than we often grasp when addressing the way God saves sinners. The hope is that each believer hearing this will walk in a greater humility and full of thanksgiving to their God who saves poor sinners.

Paul's first missionary journey is underway and we have the opportunity to hear from the great apostle as he teaches his audience two thousand years ago. It is a masterclass on evangelism. In this final sermon we are treated with an example of how God works through the gospel to bring His elect to faith.

Spiritual warfare is an idea that conjures up all sorts of thoughts and reactions. During the 90's and early 2000's it was quite popular in the mainline churches. It has shifted a bit over time but the presence is still felt and contributes to a very unbiblical and unhealthy understand of how Satan truly works and attacks. In this sermon we have a chance to see actual spiritual warfare and consider some important implications with missions.

Often Christians look at themselves, their abilities and opportunities and think little of it. They compare themselves to others and their effect seems to matter little. But this is simply not true. In this message we see how God saved, calls and equips all of us for His purposes. The size or effect is unimportant.

In this final sermon on guardians of the Church, we focus on what often is the most difficult part of forgiveness, the idea of not remembering wrongs suffered. Often we will hear "Forgive and Forget" but is this properly stated? Should we simply somehow forget? The goal of this sermon is to consider this aspect of forgiveness from a biblical perspective that starts with God's forgiveness toward sinners.

Having considered the various aspects of Church Discipline as a way to guard the purity of the Church, we now look at the what and how of forgiveness. Often people struggle in forgiving another when sinned against and this creates challenges as a person seeks repentance and wants to be restored.

One of the least practiced responsibilities in the American church today is what is commonly known as Church Discipline yet it is one of the key guardians of a true, local church. Though Matthew 18 functions as the normative process, there are many other passages that show how to handle unique situations that inevitably crop up. But in all of this is the desire and expectation of our Lord to be a pure church.

One of the least practiced responsibilities in the American church today is what is commonly known as Church Discipline yet it is one of the key guardians of a true, local church. This is something that was commanded by our Lord and was taught by the Apostles as a means to call sinning believers back to repentance and a proper fellowship with the church. However, in our times it neglected and even rejected and the cost is huge. This sermon seeks to give a broad explanation as to why any church that is truly a church of our Lord's must practice discipline.

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 how of their mission statement.

The church was purchased by the blood of Christ and it is most precious in His sight. As such, we are called to treat the Church properly and with true deference, rather than exploiting it for our own desires. With that in mind, we need to see how God has put into place certain guardians for the Church. Two key ones are, godly leaders and godly church discipline. These will be the focus of this short series. In this final sermon on leadership we consider what the responsibilities are for the congregation toward their leadership.
