Description

Sunday's sermon from Titus 2:15-3:8. As we continue our series on God's blueprint for churches on mission, we explored how Christians navigate the tension of dual citizenship—belonging to God's kingdom while living as citizens in this world. Summary: The sermon explored how the doctrines of grace create Christians of heaven who devote themselves to good works while citizens on Earth. We examined three key aspects of Christian citizenship: the guides God provides through church teachers who declare, exhort, rebuke, and remind us of our duties; our specific responsibilities to both governing authorities and our neighbors; and the doctrines of grace that prevent us from both self-righteousness and cultural assimilation. This passage challenges us to engage meaningfully in society—submitting to authorities, pursuing good works, speaking life instead of death, and treating all people with gentleness and courtesy—all while remembering that we have been saved by grace alone, not by our works.

Wise Dating

This sermon presents a biblically grounded framework for wise dating, rooted in Proverbs 3:5–8 and the principle of trusting God's wisdom over personal understanding. It reframes dating not as a pursuit of romance, but as a process of building a Christian friendship to evaluate long-term compatibility in social, theological, vocational, and physical dimensions, all within the context of a shared spiritual journey toward God's glory. The preacher emphasizes that wise dating requires intentional practices—prayer, clear communication, sexual purity, grace, community involvement, and patience—while warning against relying on worldly influences or emotional impulses. Ultimately, the sermon redirects focus from the outcome of marriage to the enduring truth of God's unrelenting love, which provides security and purpose regardless of whether a relationship leads to marriage or singleness, affirming that true fulfillment is found in trusting Christ's redemptive love above all else. www.gptulsa.com

The Family

Relationships are inescapable. A famous philosopher once said, "No man is an island." As Christians, we know this is true because God created us in his image. He is one God in three persons- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To be human is to be born into relationships. And to be human is to be called to build relationships. God commands us to be fruitful and multiply. In other words, we display the image of God by building relationships in the context of families, cultures, and communities. To live out this calling and command, we need wisdom. Thankfully, God gives us this wisdom in his word, especially in the book of Proverbs. Join us over the next several weeks as we seek to gain the wisdom we need to build wise relationships from the book of Proverbs. Because everyone lives in a relationship, this is a great time to invite friends and family.
