QTCE- Who Do You Say I Am

QTCE- Who Do You Say I Am

This week we started a summer series (Questions that Change Everything) where we are looking at different questions that Jesus asked and how they still matter to us today. This week we looked at Jesus question to His disciples in Matthew 16:13-18. Jesus first asked a "crowd" question, Who do people say I am. Then He asks a personal question, one that we all must answer for ourselves, "Who do YOU say I am." Peter responded by proclaiming Jesus to be the Messiah, the Son of the Living God, and that is the response we should all have. As we studied through this we saw God is constantly revealing Himself to us so that we have no excuse for not believing that He is who He says He is. Listen in as Jeff, Angie and Trenton share their takeaways from this week's teaching. Our hope and prayer is that through the Beyond the Building podcast you would continue the conversation of God's Word in your home, on your campus, in your workplace and neighborhood so His gospel can be shared with all.

Titus 3

This week we wrap up Titus by looking at chapter 3. In this chapter we see Paul give Titus some "postures" we need to take to be a gospel-moving people. He reminds them to be subject to authority, obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to not be slanderers or gossips, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward EVERYONE. We also see that the reason we take these postures is because we remember (vs.3) our "before." When we keep in mind who we were before the kindness, love and grace of Jesus transformed us then we can see people with compassion instead of contempt or judgement. The call of the Church and our ultimate goal is to be known for our love and the difference that Jesus has made in our lives so that the knowledge of truth can lead to godliness in all the people God puts in our path. Listen in as Ian, Leah, Bri, and Grant share their takeaways from this week's teaching. Our hope and prayer is that through the Beyond the Building podcast you would continue the conversation of God's Word in your home, on your campus, in your workplace and neighborhood so His gospel can be shared with all.

Titus 2

This week we were in Titus 2. We saw through this chapter that Paul instructed Titus and us to not only establish leaders who were living out the sound doctrine they proclaimed but that he was establishing an intergenerations gospel moving strategy that would make clear that everyone who calls on the name of Christ has a role to play in moving the gospel. We also learned about how God's grace doesn't just save us but it teaches us to say no to ungodliness and yes to godly living. As we allow God's grace to teach us we live with an eternal view in every moment of our lives and we find ourselves eager to do good works. We aren't eager to do good works to "earn" His grace but because of His grace. Listen in as Bri, Andy, Jeff and Amaya share their takeaways from this week's teaching. Our hope and prayer is that through the Beyond the Building podcast you would continue the conversation of God's Word in your home, on your campus, in your workplace and neighborhood so His gospel can be shared with all.

Titus Week 1

This week we started a new series on the book of Titus. We saw through chapter 1 that Paul had left Titus on the Island of Crete to advance the gospel and grow the Church. Crete was known for being a rough place where the people were described as lying, evil, lazy brutes and so Paul gave Titus a list of qualifications to look for in the leaders that were Monday-Sunday qualifications. He instructed Titus to find men who lived counter culturally in every aspect of their lives so that the knowledge of truth could lead to godliness in the lives of all who followed them. The call is the same for us today. Our hearts should be transformed by the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ so that in every home, community and city we are in people can see our lives as a reflection of the qualities of the One we follow. Listen in as Bri, Ian, Jeff and Angie share their takeaways from this week's teaching. Our hope and prayer is that through the Beyond the Building podcast you would continue the conversation of God's Word in your home, on your campus, in your workplace and neighborhood so His gospel can be shared with all.

Sent not Scattered

This we looked at the great commission from Matthew 28:18-20. We learned that this commission wasn't just for the disciples Jesus was speaking to or just for missionaries and pastors but that it is for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord. That means wherever we are "as we go" we are striving to represent the One who sent us. We saw that a "sent" life is accomplished by being the most present person in the room, living a life that raises the question, and staying connected to the One who sent them and to those who are running the race with them. Listen in as Ian, Brason, Ben, Jeb, and Jocelyn share their takeaways from this week's teaching. Our hope and prayer is that through the Beyond the Building podcast you would continue the conversation of God's Word in your home, on your campus, in your workplace and neighborhood so His gospel can be shared with all.
