The Story Sessions Ep. 7 | A New Hope

 
The end of Jesus’ life and ministry is not the end of the story. In fact, in many ways it’s a new beginning. A new way of living. A new hope that God will make all things right and one day again dwell with His people.
 
“A New Hope” focuses on the beginning of the church. God’s new Kingdom people made up of Jews and Gentiles. The tearing down of dividing walls between people. Unity in King Jesus. God’s pursuit taking on practical hands and feet as people live out a new hope among humanity.
From the earliest days of the church to the Apostle Paul’s passionate appeals to the church. Paul leads the way as thousands of new followers of Jesus are trying to unlearn and deconstruct, an old way of thinking and living. They are learning together how to live in a new hope following Jesus.
Together we discover what it must have been like to be a part of this fledgling community as they lay the foundation for the beginnings of what we now call Christianity.
It’s a new way of living. A new beginning. A new hope that God is making all things right in this world through His Kingdom and will one day set all things right.

The Most Interesting Man In The World: Confirmed | Luke 24

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, April 20th; teaching by Stan Rodda.
Luke 24:13-24, Luke 24:25-27, Colossians 1:16-20, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 55, Luke 24:28-35, Acts 2:36-38
In the messages leading up to this one, we spent time with Jesus and His final words for His disciples before the cross. 
We walked to the cross on Good Friday and reflected on Jesus’ final words. In this Easter message, we discover the confirmation of all that God has been promising and accomplished in and through the resurrection of King Jesus.
We hope this message encourages you and helps give perspective to the overall story that God is writing.
If you’re here and you’re not a follower of Jesus, we hope this message gives you clarity and direction while pointing you only at the hope we have in Jesus who conquered the grave.

The Most Interesting Man In The World: Apex | John 13

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, April 13th; teaching by Stan Rodda
John 13:8, 9, John 13:34, John 14:6, John 14:9, John 15:4, John 16:33, John 17:1, John 18:1-3, John 19:16b-18
It’s always interesting to read or hear the final words people say right before they pass away:
• “I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have.” -DaVinci
• “Happy anniversary. I love you.” -Lombardi
• “I feel great.” -Pete Maravich
• “I have pain, but I have peace, I have peace.” Richard Baxter
• “Nothing, only ‘love one another.’” William Seward
It’s an unpleasant topic to think about death. The final words people say on their death beds is a very telling thing to hear for what ultimately matters in life.
And this, in this message, is where we find Jesus and His disciples today. The second most important event in human history is about to unfold. The moment in The Story where we find God’s Pursuit Finds its Apex at the Cross.
With the cross just a few hours ahead for Jesus he has a final meal with His disciples. This moment to share the most important truths.
In this message, we’ll discover some of Jesus’ final words before the cross.

The Most Interesting Man In The World: Foreshadowing | Mark 8

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, April 6th; teaching by Stan Rodda.
Romans 6:23, Mark 8:31, Mark 9:31, 32, Mark 10:33, 34, John 11:4, John 11:21, 22, John 11:253-26, John 11:27, John 11:41-44
Jesus shows up in the most unique way. Begins a ministry focused on the marginalized in the world. Brings good news to the humble, meek & poor. Heals and feeds people.
Traveling homeless preacher from Galilee. Tours for 3+ years. Healing, feeding, teaching discipling, modeling, and loving. Turning the world upside down.
And now He starts saying some strange things that really make the disciples wonder what’s going on with Him. The reality is that Jesus knows something that they don’t. He knows what God is ultimately up to and what God is about to do and what we'lllearn in this message is God’s Pursuit Foreshadows the Culmination of His Plan.

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.
