Messages by Brent Clark (Page 8)
Walk This Way
The book of Psalms teaches us how to walk with God in a broken world. As we explore this beautiful book of Scripture throughout the summer, Pastor Brent begins by looking at Psalm 1. Here, we ask ourselves what consumes our minds, hearts, and actions. Whatever shapes your thinking shapes your life and walk with God.
Our Response
Now that we’ve explored who Jesus is, it’s time to respond. Pastor Brent and Pastor Amy dive into the various responses to Jesus we see in Scripture, encouraging us to follow Jesus in every facet of our lives.
Message
As we rediscover who Jesus is, we may also need to rediscover what His message was. Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God more than just about anything else. Pastor Brent explores His message, ultimately encouraging us to remember that Jesus does and will still move among us as we work to establish the Kingdom of God.
Politics
Politics consume us. They tend to inform the way we see ourselves, our neighbors, and the world around us. What does Jesus have to say about our political leanings, though? Was Jesus even political? Listen as Pastor Brent shares about this divisive subject, teaching us that no political party or politician can save the world—only Jesus can do that.
Jesus & the Outcasts
Jesus loved the easiest people to hate, showed respect to the disrespected, and blessed those who could offer nothing in return. He championed the outcasts of society, demonstrating His incredible love and compassion to all who came near and challenging us to do the same.
Economics
Despite the power money holds over us as individuals and a society, Jesus calls us to live differently. The invitation to follow Jesus is also an invitation to live as generously as He did. Pastor Brent continues our Rediscovering Jesus series, challenging our obsession with wealth and calling us to follow the authentic Jesus.
Compassion
Jesus was known by his radical compassion. His compassion wasn’t just an emotional response; it was also a physical one that led to the relief of pain and alienation. We too can grow in compassion by sitting at the feet of Jesus.
Is Jesus for Real?
Will the real Jesus please stand up? In a world of counterfeits, it’s difficult to determine who the real Jesus is. This Easter Sunday, Pastor Brent explores the resurrection of Jesus. Who was there? How did it happen, and what does this pivotal moment tell us about who Jesus is?
The Promise Preserved
As we conclude our journey through Joseph’s life as told in the book of Genesis, we learn that God can take the brokenness of our world and lives and turn it into something positive. Our story is one piece of the larger story God is writing, and that’s a beautiful thing!
Finding Forgiveness
Forgiveness is the path to finding freedom. As we continue the dramatic story of Joseph as told in Genesis, he is finally reunited with his brothers. Will Joseph forgive them for all they’ve done, though?
Success and Seduction
Sometimes God doesn’t save us from tragedy—He saves us through it. As we continue exploring the story of Joseph in Genesis, we find Joseph once again in the pit. Here, in the darkness and uncertainty, we find the evidence of Joseph’s trust in God despite his circumstances.
Falling From Favor
In the book of Genesis, we find the redemptive story of a favored son named Joseph who has a dream. However, the dreams God gives us may not always take place the way we expect them to! Pastor Brent introduces our new series, Living the Dream, by exploring the beginning of Joseph’s story and the challenges that come with it.
