Romans 5:1-8: We are all Sinful (Identity in Christ)
Sunday Aug 17, 2014
Sunday Aug 17, 2014
Welcome to the 1st sermon in our series on our identity in Christ. (1 of 3)
Building our identity in Christ for the sake of the world. That is the mission statement of Refuge. What does that mean for us? What does that mean for the world around us? We are not out to change the world, that is God’s job. We are out to have our identity transformed by what Christ has done, believing that the more we as a people reflect who Jesus is (not by being perfect, but by finding our identity in him) the more the city will rejoice.

1 Peter 4:1-11: Sin and Culture (The Death of Christendom)
Sunday Apr 27, 2014
Sunday Apr 27, 2014
Welcome to the 7th sermon in our series on the book of 1 Peters (7 of 8).
For nearly 1700 years in the western world, Christianity has played a major role in the government. That has changed…and it’s OK. Since Genesis 3 the world has been in rebellion against God. If the world is in rebellion against God, then it makes sense that it would also be in rebellion against Christianity, that Christianity wouldn’t quite fit in the world. Peter wrote to Christians that were dealing with social ostracization and marginalization. Many of their behaviors were looked at peculiarly. They didn’t belong to the popular culture. Peter reminds them of what really matters and of what they should trust. Join us as we walk through an encouraging first letter from Peter that reminds us that Christianity is not a voting bloc, rather a living hope!

John 13:3-17: Serve & Teach (How to One Another)
Sunday Feb 23, 2014
Sunday Feb 23, 2014
Welcome to the 4th sermon on the communal disciplines of the church (4 of 4).
A lot of information has been written on how Christians can grow in their relationship with God: the personal disciplines (prayer, meditation, fasting, study). There is also a lot written on how to engage with people who are not believers. The ‘missional disciplines’ that help Christians live out the mission of the gospel and engage with people who don’t think like them, conveying the love of Christ on their level. But how we live out the gospel with other people who DO embrace the gospel? How do we actually BE the church? How should we treat one another?
