No Religious Expectations

January 28, 2014 by Brad Murphy

This entry is part 3 of 4 in the series Foc|US: Vision for Life

Light the Way.

God has given us a vision to build a community of faith, who follow Jesus and tend to the mission of God: Light the Way, Learn the Truth, Love the Life.

This week Pastor John, asks is the church a Country Club or Hospital.  As he teaches from Luke 6, we uncover one of Jesus stiffest enemies, RELIGION.  As a church family, one of our values is to eliminate religious expectations and encourage grace in Jesus Christ.

No Religious Expectations

  • The title, “Christian,” has come to describe either a religion or a product, that marketing executives are trying to sell.  Christ did not come to start a religion or a business.  Therefore, Eagle LifeChurch is not marketing a religion.   Our goal is to shine the spotlight on Jesus Christ, who initiated a relational, incarnation, movement of grace and servant love.
  • Study it! Matthew 23; Mark 7:1-23; Mark 12:38-20 & Luke 20:45-47; Matthew 6:1-18; Hebrews 4:14-5:1

Listen to Light the Way | No Religious Expectations
January 26, 2014 | Pastor John Wilkie
Luke 6:1-19; Matthew 23

Confession of sins is partnership with truth. When Confession of sins is partnership with truth. When sin is left in the dark then the truth cannot set us free.

You are not alone. God is there right beside you, You are not alone. God is there right beside you, just turn to Him and he will care for you.

You also have God's church to help and care. Don't run from God, run to Him.
Jesus took it, he blessed it, he broke it, and he Jesus took it, he blessed it, he broke it, and he gave it away.

How is the blessing to be known unless it is given away?

You are blessed to be a blessing. Give Freely.
