The Faith Of the Fathers

2021-12-15 17:51:15 The goal of all ministry is to become more conformed to the image of Christ. What we called “getting saved” is the beginning of that process. But we all need more from the Lord, every day. Our goal on our ministry tour will be healing, salvation, and hope. Through our journey, we hope to be more conformed to the image of Christ and to be one of the means by which Jesus conforms others to His image.

The agenda:
Worship
Prayer
Proclamation

It’s going to be great! Open / Comment

2021-12-10 16:17:04 What will today hold?
What will be accomplished at the end?

Lord thank you for a new day.
I ask you to lead it … to go before and direct it.
I ask that every seed of the gospel planted yesterday would take root and bear fruit fruit …
Lead us in the way we should go
Fight our battles for us
Reveal the enemy
Cause their relationships to fracture
Confuse their communications
Cause the decent element of this nation to take action
Cause your children to be convicted in their silence
Draw to yourself those who have never yielded
Restore our Republic Lord … and I ask you to do it with revival Open / Comment

2021-12-10 15:47:06 We know it is Orthodox to teach that Jesus is the Son of God. But who is God?

What if God is angry, vindictive or hard to please? Would you be glad to meet that God's son? Probably not.

How did Jesus come to be known as "God's son" in the sense of "God's second self" or "the second part of the trinity"? The process by which we come to acknowledge Jesus as God is vitally important.

If we start with assumptions about God and then say that Jesus is the son of the God we imagined, we will get both Jesus and God wrong. Sometimes, it is the things that we don't question that hide truths we need to know.

This is how I believe Jesus came to be worshiped as God by the disciples and the early Church.
