God's attention to detail can be celebrated as we consider how he created humankind. Paul says we are his "masterpiece" (NLT). As his masterpiece, God has commissioned us to participate with him in global mission to declare the reign of God (The Kingdom of God). Our service in our community is one of the loudest cries that we believe that the kingdom of God is here.

How has God changed you? We often pose this question to others and are hesitant to answer it for ourselves. In Paul?s letter to the Ephesians, he makes a strong case regarding God?s grace and its power to change. The Reynoldsburg direction begins to takes form when we embody the Lord?s gift of grace, a gift that awakens us, give us life and transforms us. Our lives lived in community, in worship to God and in service to others reflect that we have been changed.

In this sermon we look back at 2016. We recognize the highs and lows of the year while identifying God?s fingerprints on the events of the year. The case will be made that we begin 2017 making a commitment to attend to God?s revelation and to one another in community.

How do we go from mere resolutions to actual achievable goals? Let's get SMART.

In the end, the story of Christmas is that God chose us. Whatever may have gone wrong in your life in the past, or whatever may happen in the future, you can hold your head high because God has chosen you.

Tonight we share in a simple response of worship to God , the Father, for sending us his Son to bless us, heal us, forgive us and save us. We pray that the story of Christ?s birth and the exciting anticipation of his return will move you closer to a relationship with God. May your heart be fine-tuned by the Spirit of God. May your mind be put at ease as the fast-pace of the Christmas season slows down. May your eyes see afresh, the good news of Jesus Christ.

When we experience breakthroughs in our lives, we celebrate and we rejoice. This doesn't mean that we won't experience disappointment, sadness or heartache. But given the overwhelming activity of God, there is much to be joyful about. And even if there is a current circumstance that causes worry or distress, let's always consider our joy in the Lord.

There are so many areas in our lives that pit us against one another. We just completed rivalry week in College football. We just completed a contentious election cycle that has highlighted the differences we embody in our society and the world. We are Team Coca-Cola or we are Team Pepsi. Team Edward or Team Jacob. In this season of Advent, we turn our attention to the return of Christ. But while we wait for the return of Jesus, we embrace God?s call to be peacemakers. Yet to embrace a call of peacemaking, we need to receive God?s gift of peace.

We as the people of God live in the age of the peace of God. We know that chaos is the operating narrative of the media and politicians. If we let the world write the narrative, it would seem that peace is unattainable. But we worship a God who sees peace as an overriding narrative of his followers.

Advent is a time that we are reminded that as the people of God we are not exempt from heartache, tragedy, the effects of war, the impact of sickness and disease, or the angst of living in a broken society. But as the people of God, when those who do not know God cast a vision of doom and gloom, we are a people who choose hope!

What do we do with unanswered prayer? What happens to our faith when God doesn't move our mountain?

We are so often caught up in our own lives that we miss what's right in front of us. One of Jesus' last encounters on earth reveals his passion for the lost and an overwhelming response of faith.

Are we prepared to stand in the midst of the ashes and see the beauty of the Lord arise? God, out of his covenant relationship with us, is reinvesting us in our neighborhood to restore, reconcile and renew. Let's get to work!

The language of "new" is deeply embedded in the book of Revelation. While there is much about the book that is confusing, misunderstood and debated, this fundamental truth remains: That God enacted his mission of salvation to reclaim his creation, and in doing so He will make everything new!

In this sermon we consider the magnitude of implications regarding salvation and conversion. As converted beings, into the image of God, our allegiances (political, social, temperament, etc.) are transferred to an orientation where God enacts transformation. It is within this realm that we, as mission partners with God, live and serve with him in the effort to change the world.

While looking through some of the narratives in the Gospel of Luke, it appears that a primary impetus behind the encounters Jesus had with people was a desire to reconnect them with their communities. Many of the people Jesus encountered had to live in isolation because of their sickness or circumstance. In this sermon, we probe the idea that salvation seeks to established those who are broken in a community.

We live in a broken world filled with broken lives. Brokenness breeds more brokenness. Yet God has declared that he desires to fix or repair what has been broken. At the top of his ?fix? list is the relationship he has with men and women.

Sometimes Jesus calls people to do great works. Sometimes he simply says, "Return home and tell how much God has done for you."

If ever there was an acknowledgement of the presence of an emotion in scripture, it would be fear. Throughout the biblical narrative we see God through prophets, preachers, angels - and even himself - identifying and addressing fear.

The fact that God will be present with folks when they are afraid is not just a promise given to Israel or biblical characters. That promise is also given to us.

Fear's main job is to protect Riley and keep her safe. He is constantly on the lookout for potential disasters, and spends time evaluating the possible dangers, pitfalls and risk involved in Riley's everyday activities.

There are very few activities and events that Fear does not find to be dangerous and possibly fatal.

There is something within all of us that causes us to be distressed, disturbed or disgusted. Again we encounter an emotion displayed in the life of Jesus. But what happens when disgust turns into contempt for others? As we affirm the presence of disgust, we will also draw attention to the damaging effects of contempt for other people.

Disgust has always been proud of her refined tastes. For over a decade, her expert judgement has protected Riley from gross broccoli and helped her to avoid icky boys. After all, her job is to keep Riley from being poisoned, physically or socially.

Although highly opinionated and extremely honest, Disgust always has the best of intentions. Her colleagues view her as a bit of an elitist, but Disgust refuses to lower her (and Riley's) standards for anybody.

The world is a disgusting place and it's her responsibility to say so.

Didasko Children's Home was founded and began to function in 1983 outside of the Capital city of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, to help meet the growing need to care for orphans, abandoned, exploited and abused children.

Sixteen years ago, Jorge Castillo left a secure job at the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa, and with his wife Rosa, who was a teacher, and two children they moved to Didasko (20 miles outside of Tegucigalpa) to become the directors of this vital ministry.

They accepted the challenge of the Lord to care for these children that had been abandoned, neglected and abused; to win them to Christ, and to give them the love and warmth of a home that they had never known before.
