Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now. As a church, we are all about following Jesus and know there’s no end to that journey—we’re more about becoming than arriving.

Discipline can be an ugly word to some people, because it makes us think of high-pressure situations and the prospect of an ugly failure. Yet, the bible often calls on Christians to exercise discipline in pursuit of the gospel. How can disciplines be good news full of grace, when they are so demanding? Today, Josh reflects on St. Paul's imagery of soldier, athlete, and farmer to help us understand how a disciplined life for Jesus actually frees us to pursue God's kingdom with joy.
Scripture reference: 2 Timothy 2:1-15
Preached on the 18th Sunday after Pentecost, October 13, 2019 by Josh Wang
Sermon Highlights
- We change the world by taking on small disciplines
- God's Spirit takes our small efforts and amplifies them to God's glory
- Our Christian life involves effort but not earning
- Jesus' love is a constant comfort and a safety net when our efforts fail
- Focus on Jesus' kingdom frees us to let go of the world's worries
- St. Paul was content and free because he knew Jesus can be trusted
- We can be content even when suffering if we believe the same
