Heritage Baptist Church
Heritage is a church focused on sharing the truth of the gospel with the community and equipping believers to deepen their walk with Jesus.
In our last passage in James, we examine how our God is a God both when we are downcast and elated. We then follow his writing to see what God has called us to do in our waiting seasons. --Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
As James begins to conclude his letter, he reminds his readers of the patience that he began the book with. Knowing that the Lord will return for His people, we are challenged to be ready by not hoarding our things but rather to live knowing that we have a mission to accomplish.--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
Life is short. In fact, James calls it a mist. So how should we live based on the brevity of the life God has given to us? --Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
What you want matters. Many times we only address our actions and the outside results, but James tells us that conflict and tension comes about as a result of competing desires at war inside of us.--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
The concept of personalized truths leads to personalized wisdoms, but biblical wisdom is the application of God's truth. James explores the dangers of false truth and wisdom while demonstrating the qualities that come through God's wisdom and truth.--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
One of the key traits of a mature Christian is the ability to manage their words. But as with many other things, this is easier said than done! So how to we go about tying our tongue?--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
Is all faith saving faith? James writes to an audience that claims faith and gives some hard counsel to help them to understand what kind of faith is able to save.--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
Most Christians would loudly say that church is for everyone, but the Bible is very clear that certain behaviors don't belong in church. The one that James is concerned about in chapter 2? Partiality. What does it mean to treat some people better than others and why is it such a big deal? --Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
Many voices are vying for our attention, and it can be hard to know which ones to listen to. James speaks to his readers helping them to understand how to know what is deserving of our attention and when we ought to be quiet and listen even when we want to react or take offense. --Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
The book of James is a lesson in Christian maturity. He opens his letter with instructions for followers of Jesus as he lays the foundation for them to be "perfect." --Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
Thomas was absent when Jesus showed Himself to the other disciples after the resurrection. When others told him what had happened, he refused to believe it, until something incredible happened and Thomas said, "I've seen enough."--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe

Ministry is hard, not just for pastors, but for everyone in the business of making disciples. This is why God uses people to refresh His people. --Sermon by Pastor Garth Leno, Pastor Care Specialist with the Baptist State Convention of Michigan--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
In Acts 17, three cities receive and respond to the Gospel in vastly different ways. Thessalonica is mostly hostile, Berea is mostly receptive, and Athens is mostly curious. These responses are very similar to how the Word of God is received today. So how does Paul preach to a mix of people and their varied responses to the Gospel of Jesus. --Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
As Paul and Silas travel and preach the Gospel in Philippi they meet a religious woman, a slave girl, and a jailer. These individuals are impacted by the Gospel of Jesus, but the Gospel gets to them in very different ways. So how does Paul conduct himself as God gives him opportunities for Gospel encounters?--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
In the middle of a Gospel movement, debates, and distractions arise within the early church. The leaders of the Jerusalem church as well as Paul, Barnabas, and other early Christian leaders gather to look at what it means to be a follower of Jesus and to determine Gospel priorities so that the movement of the Gospel may continue.--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
It can be difficult to know when some jobs are finished. With the work of the Gospel, there are always people in need. With that being the case, the question must be asked, "What does a successful mission look like?" --Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
In Acts 13, the good news of the Gospel is sent out to Gentile cities for the first time recorded in the Bible. People did uncomfortable things and would face seemingly impossible circumstances so that the Gospel may be heard and God may receive glory.

Persecution intensifies in the early church as governmental leaders join Jewish authorities in their treatment of Christians. In response, God delivers two men, James and Peter, from the persecution in strikingly different ways.

When the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem heard that Peter had taken the Gospel to Cornelius and the Gentiles, they began to ask questions both of Peter and the work that God was doing. In reality, God was doing a work that went far beyond what they were able to ask or think.--

Until this point, Jewish Christians were consistently taking the Gospel to other Jews. But in Acts 10, Peter was sent to a man named Cornelius to learn that what God has cleansed was not to be called "common."--

Sometimes we think of the Gospel (the good news of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection for our salvation) as being one-dimensional and merely admitting us to heaven. But in reality, multiple gifts come with the Gospel of Jesus as we can see in Acts 9.

We all love our plans. That's nothing new. But God has a way of interrupting our plans with His. Such is the story of the first Christmas as God interrupts the plans of two different families and graciously carries out His instead.

We all know that big things can come in small packages. At Christmas, we celebrate a little gift that the Bible later describes as inexpressible. What is so special about this tiny gift that's worth celebrating? --Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritageFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
While we often view Jesus as the baby lying in a manger at Christmastime, in reality, He is so much more than that.

When hard days come, it can be easy to let our vision drift inward. Not so with the early church. When forced to scatter, these believers take the Gospel to an unlikely place: Samaria.

When the church's growth would not stop, her enemies began to accuse those teaching and preaching the Gospel of false teachings. Stephen stands up against these accusations and points out that God has always worked wherever He chooses and through whom He chooses.

When persecution fails to stop the church, the enemy attempts to divide and distract from the mission. The way that the church responds to these traps is vital as the Word of God continues to multiply.

While "look at me" is a phrase common to kids, it can, unfortunately, also be a habit of some adults. In Acts 5, a husband and wife desire the attention and admiration of the church and go to sinful means of getting it. How does God deal with the lying and self-promotion in the early church?

Peter and John are arrested and questioned by the Jewish leaders, and based on their responses, everyone knew that they had been with Jesus because they were like Jesus. In this confrontational passage, we learn a simple yet profound truth. Want to be like Jesus? Be with Jesus.

Peter and John encounter a crippled man begging for money at the Temple, but instead of a donation, they change his life in the name of Jesus. And when Jesus changes a life, everyone around begins to wonder what it means.

Just weeks after Jesus' crucifixion, God sent His Spirit just as He promised. As Jesus' disciples are empowered, they begin to speak in other languages and Peter stands up and preaches the good news of the Gospel resulting in thousands of people responding to the truth of Jesus. --New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
Which came first, the church or the mission? In Acts 1, Jesus tells His disciples that they will be witnesses everywhere of the things they saw, namely His death, burial, and resurrection for the sins of humanity. --New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
In his final words in 2 Samuel as well as the final message to his son, Solomon, David gives a godly example of reflecting on a life filled with highs and lows and the desire to pass along godly insight to those who are coming behind him.--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
Sin never stays put. It's either being killed or killing. David's sin from chapter 11 continues to spread among his family as we see his own children and his kingdom tear themselves apart modeling their behavior after David's.
Note: While vague, this passage describes sensitive topics including rape and sexual assault.--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
David's life begins much like any other rags to riches, but this part of David's life would be better described as riches to rags as he takes what is not his and is willing to kill to keep it hidden from view. --New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
The grace of God is not for "whole" people; it is explicitly for the broken. In this story about a king keeping his promises to the weak and undeserving, we see one of the most beautiful illustrations of God's grace in the Bible.

Christians would universally say that they desire God's presence, but as we examine even David's life, we find that God's presence in ours means submitting our will to His and not the other way around.

God allows all of us to spend seasons in the wilderness. In these moments, it feels like God is far away and we often wonder what He is up to. But David has come to understand that God does some of His best work in the wilderness.

Saul has spent the energy and resources of a nation chasing David. Given the chance to rid himself of Saul, David responds with kindness sparing Saul's life, reminding us of the kindness of Jesus even though we are undeserving.

After defeating Goliath, David meets Saul's son Jonathan and the two become great friends. Soon Saul becomes envious of David's popularity and success and begins to make attempts on his life. In this tumultuous season of David's life, we watch how Jonathan models godly friendship.

Perhaps the best-known letter of the seven in Revelation 2-3, Jesus' words to Laodicea are cutting and condemning. When He looks at this church, He finds a group that sees themselves as wealthy and self-sufficient while He sees a poor and pitiable church. To this church He writes to repent and respond to His invitation.

The fortress of Sardis once believed itself to be impregnable. It was not until it let its guard down that the city was conquered. Similarly, this first-century church had become complacent in their faith, and the signs of their ruin were beginning to show.

The church in the blue-collar Thyatira was a church growing in its impact for the gospel of Jesus, but there was a significant problem in the church. Specifically, there was a false teacher that had been allowed to teach and impact the church in spite of her false doctrine.

The church in Pergamum endured a great deal of persecution, including even the execution of one of its members. But when Satan realized that persecution would not dissuade this early church, he turned to something more subtle, compromise. By making it easy to submit to the idols of the day, the church in Pergamum found itself drifting away from the One who saved them.--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
The church in Smyrna faced increasingly difficult days with impressive faithfulness. While Jesus examines and speaks to them, He has nothing negative to say about their faith, but instead gives them hope to continue on and overcome suffering. --New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
Ephesus was the major metropolis of Asia Minor in the first century. Known for its worship of the goddess Artemis, this city was marked by commerce, adultery, and idolatry. In this city, the church of Ephesus is known for its devotion to the truth, yet Jesus has some stern words of correction for His church given alongside some incredible encouragement about what is to come.--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
Decades after Jesus' death and resurrection, His disciples spread the Gospel through the Roman Empire and beyond. But many in power saw this as an attack on their influence and began persecuting these early churches. Amid this turmoil, Jesus reveals Himself to John in a magnificent way and helps him understand His plans even through the hardships of the day.--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
In the final challenge to His disciples, Jesus gives what is often called His "Great Commission." While we may expect last words to be complex or heavy, He simply leaves His followers with two commands, to go and make disciples.--New to Heritage?Want to get more involved?Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new--Stay Connected:Website: http://www.hbcmonroe.orgHeritage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageBaptistChurchMonroe
Fear is something that we all have in common. And it's an essential part of the resurrection story.

Jesus is crucified. As He lays down His life as a sacrifice for our sin, some incredible things happen, and even those who had mocked just moments before can't help but be compelled by Jesus.

Rejected and mocked by the Jewish and Roman authorities, Jesus the King is crowned with thorns and degraded.

While there are days that we are faithless, God is still faithful. One of the clearest contrasts of this is found is Jesus' willingness to endure the pain and shame of the cross while Peter is faithless nearby. But before we're too hard on Peter, let's remember that God is faithful even as WE are faithless.

One of the daily questions we have to ask ourselves is do we want our way or God's. In Matthew 26, we see a sharp contrast between Peter and Jesus as one chooses the Father's will while the other takes matters into His own hands.

In our first study on a new topic, Pastor Nate introduces the concept of Gospel Fluency. While we often associate fluency with the ability to speak a language, it doesn't begin in the tongue but in the heart and mind.

As Jesus enters the last couple of days before the crucifixion, Passover is approaching and enemies are scheming to kill Him. In the middle of this, two significant meals are shared with His close friends and one who would soon betray Him.

What good is a bridesmaid that doesn't attend the wedding or a servant that refuses to serve? After teaching about what the future holds for His followers, Jesus challenges them to be prepared for His return by following in His footsteps instead of attempting to be a Christian who isn't Christ-like.

After the seemingly harsh words of Jesus in the previous chapter, His disciples ask about His return and the end of the age. In Matthew 24, Jesus pulls back the curtain for His followers to hear and begin to understand what is coming in the world and for those who put their faith in Him.

Jesus' woes against the Pharisees in Matthew 23 are often regarded as some of His harshest words in all of the Gospels. Yet, these words are not uttered to be needlessly cruel, but we dig into these hard sayings and see how Jesus is passionately and compassionately calling to the religious in His day to repent and look to Him for their salvation.

Trying to trap Jesus, His critics form some unlikely alliances and begin to ask what they believe to be difficult questions without easy answers. Jesus responds with great wisdom, as always, and helps His followers to understand that while we pay taxes to Caesar, our devotion is to God.

As we continue to study the early events of Jesus' last week before the crucifixion, some less than sincere questioners begin to make their way to Him. Instead of giving direct answers, Jesus begins to convincingly address them through a few stories designed to make them (and us) consider our responses to the gospel.

As we study the Bible and observe God's work in the world, we find Him to be both predictable and unpredictable, embodied in the Christmas season. Learning this about God helps us see what God is doing in the world and our lives as we both see Him working and trust that He is working even when we don't see it.

After hundreds of years of silence from God, an angel appears to an elderly priest named Zechariah telling him that he will have a son with a unique calling from God. This son would pave the way for the Messiah and remind the world that God is gracious.

Some parts of the Bible can be difficult to understand and even, at face value, seem contradictory! So how should a Christian approach these passages and find understanding? This process begins by comparing the Bible with the Bible and later can involve Bible dictionaries and commentaries. In this study, we look at some techniques and tools for Bible study. This study is designed to be informal and is accompanied by a handout which you can download by clicking here - Week 5 Notes. Due to the interactive nature of the study, there are gaps in teaching which have been removed from this recording. Feel free to pause and reflect on your own as you go through the study.

What does faith that continues actually look like? To be honest, it seems pretty ordinary. While we all enjoy the mountaintops, more of life takes place in the lowlands and valleys. This could be why Hebrews closes the book with a reminder that extraordinary Christian living happens on ordinary days.

In a marathon, fatigue challenges runners to quit. The Christian life is no different. There are days that it seems like it would just be easier to step aside and drop out of the race. But we are called to more! We are called to endure and to finish. In Hebrews 12, we study how to overcome challenges that will pull us out of the race that we are called to run.

One of the best ways to ensure continued growth is to pursue Christ in community. In many churches today this looks like being a part of a group. Some may call these Life Groups, Sunday School Classes, or simply "groups." Whatever the term, the Bible is clear that followers of Jesus follow Him together.

The good news of Jesus changes everything. It changes our hearts and our hope which impacts everything that we say and do. It changes us from the inside out. But responding to the good news of Jesus is much more complicated. As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we gather together to study the best news that we could ever hear. Jesus is alive!

As we enter the Easter season, it's important to remember who God has made us in Jesus Christ. Before we study the story of the crucifixion and resurrection, let's examine the profound impact that the gospel has in our lives.

The Kingdom of God is precious. But how precious is it? Jesus tells a few parables about the value of the kingdom and how far those who find it will go to make it theirs.

While the beginning of the chapter focuses on the response of the different soils to the seed of the Gospel, this next parable breaks down two different seeds and their fundamental differences requiring different responses from the master of the field.

When the Messiah encounters broken people, how does He respond? What kind of people does He turn away? The answers to these questions may seem counterintuitive, but Matthew traces Jesus' words through these themes and helps us to see how He handles both blasphemous rulers and bruised reeds.

While there are those who tend to like rules, the Pharisees go far beyond rules and structure for themselves and began to impose heavy burdens on the people. Through this lens, they looked for ways to trap Jesus and His followers. Jesus confronts this behavior as He shows that He is the Lord of the Sabbath and the Lord of Rest.

In chapter eleven, John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus, is in prison and disillusioned with some unmet expectations about the work and mission of the Messiah. Jesus leans on His work to that point to establish Himself as the Messiah and then leans into what belief and unbelief look like in the hearts of hearers.

When someone is called to follow after Jesus, what does that mean for their life? In the irony of following Jesus, being a follower also means being sent. As we examine His first followers and His instructions to them, we also see what is expected for any who would choose to walk in His footsteps.

In the last set of miracles recorded in this portion of Matthew, Jesus encounters a dead girl, a woman with a blood disorder, two blind men, and a demon-oppressed mute. As only Jesus can, He heals each of them. But the critics are quick to emerge and to challenge the work of Jesus. Unfortunately for them, they were rejecting the only One who could make them living, clean, seeing, and free.

The great dichotomy of discipleship is that while our salvation costs us nothing, following Jesus costs us everything. When a man approaches Jesus saying "I'll follow anywhere!", Jesus gives an interesting response that cuts to the heart of the issues facing anyone who would be a follower of His.

Jesus made a number of powerful statements through the Sermon on the Mount. In response to this, the careful reader may ask, "By what authority does He make these claims?" Matthew anticipates this question and goes out of his way to give a clear and powerful illustration of the authority of Jesus through a few stories in Matthew 8.

Matthew paints a picture of Jesus as a better Son than those named in the early chapters of the Bible. So what does that mean for you and me as we try to sort out what it means to be a follower of this better Son in today's world?

Where do kings come from? Palaces? Capitals? Cities? Well, the King that Matthew is introducing is unlike other kings. While He was born in the Kingly city of Bethlehem (made famous by the great ruler David), King Jesus was, quite literally, from the sticks. This glimpse into the origins of Christ tells us a great deal about the way that God worked and continues to work among His people.

As Matthew continues to present Jesus, the Anointed One, he presents a story of another king. Through what many consider to be a "Christmas" story, we find a stark contrast between those who follow after the newborn King and those who would reject Him in favor of their own ways of thinking and believing.

The greatest way that God grows us is through the power of the Word of God in tandem with the work of the Holy Spirit. In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul lays out an argument that our own attempts at growth will always fall short, but that our only hope is to turn to the One who is able to grow us into the image of Christ. This is part four of a series entitled "How God Grows Us."

Where we would expect the "godly prophet" to follow the Lord, we instead see his rebellion against the submission of the "wicked king" of Ninevah.

The story of the Bible is often told as a story of conflicting kingdoms - the kingdom of God and the kingdom of self. As he wraps up his letter, Peter challenges believers with a few specific ways to take our little "kingdom" and give it to Him.

Hardships and life can catch us off guard, but should they? Sure, the circumstances can be unexpected, but knowing that the world that we live in is broken by sin, followers of Jesus should be prepared to walk through difficulties knowing that Jesus faced them, too. So instead of acting surprised, Peter tells us how to respond in trying days.

Wouldn't it be nice if your face changed when God saved you? That way everyone would notice the new you and expect something different. But that's not how God works. Instead of changing us from the outside in, He works from the inside out. So how do you deal with living in the same skin but a new you?

When people are passionate about something, it's hard to spend time with them without knowing about it! Most of us are like this about our kids, jobs, or hobbies, and followers of Jesus are called to be like this about the One that saved them. When you have a hope that cannot be taken away, you'll find yourself displaying and declaring the good news that you have been given.

Nobody likes being told what to do, but Peter says three times in this passage that we are to "be subject" in specific areas of life. Through our subjection to earthly authorities, we actually demonstrate our dependence on our heavenly Authority that sits on a throne above every earthly throne.

With so many competing ideas about who we are and why we are here, it's vital that we let the Word of God inform our beliefs. Peter casts a vision for God's people built on the foundation of Christ that calls us to grow into maturity and to be built up as a part of something far greater than any one of us.

While the word "holy" can invoke many different feelings, a proper understanding of holiness is key to living out our time in exile. Feeling empty or unfulfilled? What you need may just be a glimpse into the holiness of God.

As we begin our series "Faith in Exile," pastor Nate Click helps us to understand how we are called to live during the time of our own "exile" and how God's plan for us helps to give us stability during destabilizing times.
