Jesus, the Coming Judge

“So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” – Matthew 22:44.
Jesus made several things clear through his teachings: judgment is real, we will all give an account, and he is the judge.
Your view about how the world will end directly affects how you live on earth today. God’s judgment satisfies our need for justice in the world—but we must be careful not to separate it from another part of God’s character: his grace.
Jesus is the risen the judge—and forgiver. The heart of the gospel is the supreme truth that God accepts us with no conditions when we put our trust in Jesus. As N.T Wright puts it, “In the word of the risen Jesus, we find judgment and forgiveness coming home at the deepest and most personal level.”
In the end, everyone will come face-to-face with God. The only question is whether we face him alone, or covered by grace alone.

The Road to Revival

"Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” Jonah preaches wrath—but God responds with mercy.
Above all else, the book of Jonah is about reconciliation. It demonstrates the fact that God’s wrath and mercy are held in tension—and that the road to revival, while available to all, requires genuine repentance.
If there are innumerable steps between us and God, he will take all but one. The choice is ours.

Jonah: The Mystery of Mercy
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: Jonah 1
Love your enemies. Jonah receives a mission from God that leaves him struggling with a question our world continues to wrestle with today: how God can be both merciful and just?
Obedience will require sacrifice. For Jonah, the cost seems too high. He refuses and runs—but God’s mercy prevails.

Spiritual Gifts: LOVE - Week 3
Sunday Feb 10, 2019
Sunday Feb 10, 2019
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12
Sermon Description: When it is a gift there is a greater ease, there is a frequency and power, there are great results, there is more joy, and worship and Jesus feels closer, it’s a supernatural sweet spot!
The Love gifts (Administration, Helps, Mercy & Giving) are key to the church working right and Love gifts are secondary in the sense that they are all about supporting, building up what God has and is establishing through the leadership of a local church. This again is not about value at all but role.
Series: Spiritual Gifts
Series Description:
Since we believe with all our hearts that Spiritual gifts are the only ongoing guaranteed place of power to serve from, we need to once again build the common script and understanding among all that make up C4 in this season.
As we step out together, we all need to discover, rediscover, rededicate and walk in a power that is not our own, to do the impossible in this context we find ourselves. When we start using and growing in our gifts we will experience the joy that comes from honouring God, serving others and knowing part of our purpose in this life, that will ripple into eternity!
