The Most Interesting Man In The World: Called To Be Upside Down | Matthew 5

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, March 30th; teaching by Stan Rodda.
Matthew 5:3-10, Matthew 5:43-48, Matthew 6:24-34, Matthew 6:10, 
There is no greater transformative message or upside-down challenge that can change everything you think you know message than the Sermon on the Mount.
As we have tracked through The Story, God’s creation, His people, His nation, His Tabernacle and Temple, His relationship with humanity, we have finally arrived at the point in the storywhere heaven meets earth in the man, Jesus, Immanuel, God with us.
And He does anything but keep the same old, same old. He challenges the status quo. Turned everything upside down. Found a third way to answer when tested. He spoke with authority. He ate with sinners and prostitutes. He enjoyed the favor of the common person. And in arguably the most brilliant teaching ever, Jesus masterfully crafts a message that will disrupt, not only the Jewish way of thinking. but the course of humanity.
The sermon on the mount proves one thing for sure that God’s Pursuit Calls Us to Be an Upside-Down People.

The Most Interesting Man In The World: Jesus’ Ministry | Mark 2

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, March 23rd; teaching by Kevin Hartman.
Mark 1:14-15, Mark 2:1-12, Mark 2:17, Luke 4:16-19, John 1:35-42
So many incredible moments mark the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. From His
baptism and time of preparation in the wilderness, to calling some of His first disciples. 
But perhaps the thing that truly sets it apart is the people He goes after first. Jesus Himself from Galilee, a back woods town like Nazareth, can anything good come from there anyway? Jesus Himself is overlooked and despised. And it is the marginalized and outcasts that Jesus goes to.

The Most Interesting Man In The World: Jesus is Born | Matthew 1

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, March 16th; teaching by Max Magee.
John 1:6-8, Isaiah 40: 3, Luke 1:30-35, 2Samuel 7:12-13, Matthew 1:19-24, Isaiah 7:14, Luke 2:4-7, Isaiah 9:6-7, Micah 5:2, Luke 2:13, Matthew 1:23, John 14:25-26
There have been 400 of years silence since the Jewish people have heard from God. No encounters. No prophetic messages. They began to wonder what they had done. Where was God? 
Then, a series of prophecies began to be fulfilled. There were angelic encounters. Miracle pregnancies, a virgin birth, a messiah is born. And God was clearly on the move again. Not only on the move, but was living among his people through Immanuel, God With Us, Jesus.

The Story Sessions Ep. 6 | The Most Interesting Man In The World (Part 2)

TIME Magazine boasts a “person of the year” on the cover of their magazine annually.
It’s more than just an image of a person who has done some good deed. Rather, it’s someone of historic significance who will be remembered for a very long time. 
When they put out their list of 100 most historically significant figures, the question became, “Who is the most significant person in history?” From the list of 100, names are instantly recognizable to us. Joan of Arc, Michelangelo, Socrates, Elvis Presley, Charlemagne, Thomas Edison, Aristotle and Abraham Lincoln. But who ranks #1? Who is seen as the most significant person in history? 
One name dawns the top spot. And His name is Jesus.
This is the story of the most interesting man in the world. From His birth, an incredible fulfillment of prophecies hundreds to thousands of years old. His ministry which focused on the marginalized and outcast in society. Life changing miracles. Heart transforming compassion. Teachings and parables that challenged the heart and mind. Self-sacrifice that melted the hardest of hearts.
This is the story of God’s pinnacle moment in all human history as God in human form, dies on a cross and rises from the dead. It is more than a story; it is the apex of all of human history. And there’s nothing like the story of Jesus. He is the most interesting man in the world.
In this series, we will cover Jesus’ birth, Jesus’ ministry, miracles, identity, Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Back to the Future: When It's Difficult | Ezra 9

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, March 9th; teaching by Stan Rodda.
Ezra 7:11-20, Ezra 9:1, Nehemiah 1:2-4, Nehemiah 4:1-3, Nehemiah 4:7, 8, Nehemiah 6:15, 16, Nehemiah 8:1-3, 9-10, 18
This message closes out the Old Testament in our overarching Bible narrative. Over the previous two messages we learned to stay faithful when God is loud and clear and to stay faithful when God is silent.
In this message, we will learn about staying faithful even when things get difficult.
When it comes to Jews who were in exile and then finally given the green light to go home we are introduced primarily to three guys Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah.
As we focus on the missions of Ezra and Nehemiah we’ll look at the challenges they face along the way as we learn to stay faithful even when things get difficult.

Back to the Future: When God Is Silent | Esther 2

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, March 2nd; teaching by Stan Rodda.
Esther 2:16-18, Esther 3:7, Esther 4:13-14, Esther 4:15-17, Esther 5:4, 6-8, Esther 7:3, 4, Esther 7:9, 10, Esther 8:10, 11, Esther 9:11-12, 18, 
In the book of Esther, God is not mentioned once. And yet, His fingerprints are all over it. Many of us experience this in our own lives today. We do our best to follow Jesus but sometimes it feels as if God is silent, and we aren’t sure what we are supposed to do next. 
While some Jews have returned to Jerusalem, some have chosen to stay in Persia.
Some of those people who have stayed are Mordecai and Esther. 
The story of Esther answers questions like: Can God still work in a foreign kingdom? Does He still care for His people? Is He going to come through? Where is he? What do we do when God is silent?
The answer is simple. Stay faithful even when God is silent.

Back to the Future: Loud and Clear | Ezra 3

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, February 23rd; teaching by Stan Rodda,
Ezra 3:1-5, Ezra 3:11, Ezra 4:1-3, Haggai 1:1-4, 7-8, Zechariah 1:1; 8:2, 3, Ezra 6:16-1-2
After generations in captivity, the people of Israel are beginning to return home. Persia has released captives. Ezra is a prophet among those who go back home. He leads out in restoring the Temple. 
Throughout much of what we read in Ezra, we repeatedly heard, “Then the Lord said, Then the Lord said, Then the Lord said, "From captivity and God’s silence to a very loud and clear voice from God. "Now, it’s about being faithful to His call.

The Story Sessions Ep. 5 | Back to the Future

Time travel isn’t possible, but it sure was fun to think about in the “Back to the Future”
movies. Going back in time, almost ruining a bunch of things and realizing, you must get back to where you belong. You must get back to the future.
Israel finds itself in a similar place. For so long they have looked forward to a future
hope. A promise they knew, believed and trusted that God was bringing them to. But they find themselves in captivity to Assyria, Babylon and Persia. They have lost their identity in God. And now they are in a place they shouldn’t be.
God raises up men and women to continue to show His faithfulness. He raises up Ezra to
boldly lead out in the temple rebuild. He raises up Nehemiah who will help to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem. He will raise up Esther at just the right time to save the Jewish peopleremaining in Persia from extinction.
And to get to where God has promised they would go, they realize they must go back to
where they were. To get to the future promised to them but must go back to eventually have that preferred future. And the truth they discover along the way is a truth we must constantly go back to as well, faithfulness is the key.

Losing My Religion: True Identity | Daniel 3

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, February 16th; teaching by Kevin Hartman.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2, Daniel 1:1-2, Daniel 1:11-20, Daniel 3:4-6, Isaiah 1:2-3, Genesis 1:26-28, Daniel 9:15-19, Jeremiah 29:10-14, 1 Peter 2:9-12
 
Daniel, one of Gods prophets, is taken away to Babylon. But he is faithful to God
while in captivity, and God is faithful to Daniel. He rises through the ranks. He ends up in a
position of power and influence. Persia eventually overthrows Babylon and Persia allows
Jewish captives to go back home. It’s a time when Israel rediscovers that their identity is not in
the temple or the land. Their identity is in God Himself.
