Heaven & Earth: A Christian Cosmology | Les Newsom

Adult Sunday School: Death & Dying

In 2017, an iPhone app developer released an app called “WeCroak.” The idea was simple: five times a day your phone will remind you that you’re going to die. Morbid? Probably. Helpful? Weirdly yes. Turns out, users reported a strange perspective shift that made them less irritable about little things and more attendant to little joys in life. Fortunately, Christians don’t need an app to have hope in the face of death. But when the rubber meets the road, we often treat it like a taboo that never gets talked about until it’s too late. This summer we’re going to tackle this topic head on in the hopes of getting help not only for our own eventual deaths, but also some practical advice for those giving care to declining loved ones.

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

Secure with the Shepherd | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Psalm 23

Is there a more appropriately famous Psalm than the 23rd? For good reason God’s people have clung to it in times of distress. But when was the last time we camped out on those images and studied them in hopes of finding new joys of the Christian’s security in Christ?

Sermon Points:

  • The Sheep and the Shepherd (vv. 1–3)
  • The Traveler and the Companion (v. 4)
  • The Guest and the Host (vv. 5–6)
