Your biggest dreams are a lot like 500-lb lions. When you hear them roar, you have a choice to make: will you run away from them or run towards them?

When the image of a man-eating beast travels through the optic nerve and into the visual cortex, the brain sends the body an urgent message: run! That’s what normal people do, but not lion chasers. Rather than seeing a five-hundred-pound problem, they see an opportunity for God to show up and show His power. Has God given you a HUGE dream for you or your church? Has He given you a HUGE dream for your community? This is what Chase the Lion is all about.
Centering on 2 Samuel 23, Chase the Lion tells the true story of an ancient warrior named Benaiah who chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day—and then killed it. This series also recounts the miraculous stories of David’s other mighty men, and their exploits for the Kingdom of Israel. This 5-week series, springboarded off the Mark Batterson book, Chase the Lion, will help you unleash the faith and courage you need to identify, chase, and catch the five-hundred-pound dreams God has given you to reach the world.

So you’re at home or on holidays: you may be thinking, “What’s so important about church when I can watch or listen online and meet a Christian friend for coffee now and then?” In part 2 of “We Are the Church,” Pastor Stephen talks about the dangers of going it alone in our journey with Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Stephen explores the question: what is the purpose of the local church? By calling out the selfish deceitfulness of consumerism, this message defines what church is supposed to be, and declares what it is not. The church is a place to serve others. We must not merely receive from the Church and those in it: We ARE the Church and as such much also give in order to glorify God and benefit others.

Humility is not something that we do well. Often, even our humility is done in order to make people think more highly of us: we desire recognition and to have ourselves lifted up above everyone else. The problem is, this kind of attitude makes it impossible to have lasting unity as the Church. Fortunately, Jesus has given us the ultimate example of humility, and because of him we have hope of great things in the future for which we can be joyful. Additionally, when we learn to humble ourselves to Jesus, we can begin to put him first rather than ourselves.
Pastor Stephen continues his series on the book Philippians from the Bible in this message.
