A Restful Church | Brian Sorgenfrei

Scripture Reference: Matthew 11:27-12:14

If we are going to be the kind of church that looks and feels like Jesus, then there should be something about our body that is restful. A body of Christ removes burdens rather than heaps on burdens and shame. Jesus interaction with Pharisees on the Sabbath presses home this point, in the person of Jesus, people finally find true Sabbath rest. The One who says “come to me and you will find rest” should shape the way Christ Pres functions with each other and in Oxford.

Sermon Points:

  • Burdening Restlessness
  • Life Giving Rest
  • Restful Church

Grace Centered | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Hebrews 13:2

Every church has a concept that “centers” their activities and gives a sense of purpose and mission for their members. But a church is so complex, how do you know what God would you to make that essential to your church? This week we look into the power of the Gospel to be the power behind everything your church does.

Sermon Points:

  • A Gospel Centrality
  • A Gospel Heart
  • A Gospel Identity
