  This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday.Continuing our journey through the Old Testament, we stopped over in the book of Judges yesterday.  While there are several truths to be gleaned from Judges, including but not limited to; what happens when there is a leadership void, the need for right thinking about God, and creative ways to use a tent stake, we zeroed in on what happens when [...]

  This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. Celebrating Easter, we began a new three week series entitled “Who do you Say I am?: Uncovering the Real Jesus.”  Over the course of the next couple weeks we will learn a bit more about who Jesus is, what He came to accomplish, and what that means for us.  Last Sunday, we began our look with Jesus: Conqueror of Sin [...]

  Today we will continue the conversation we began Monday about Sabbath.  While we started by contemplating the practical aspects of Sabbath, today we turn attention to the Spiritual. God intended for Sabbath to be a day of perpetual Spiritual Spring, one of multiplication and fruitfulness.  When God “blessed” the Sabbath day, this means he made it spiritually fruitful.  On Sabbath, the people of Israel were called to celebrate and remember Creation and Salvation.  They were to remember not that earth [...]

  This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. Yesterday we talked about prayer.  While there is surely much that can be said about prayer; infinitely more than can be written in a blog post, here in Colossians 4:2-4 Paul gives us a bit of insight into what the character and direction of transformed prayer are to be. First we see that Prayer is to be Persistant.  Sam Storms [...]

  This is our Sunday Re: Think, an opportunity for us to continue to think on the events of last Sunday. Last Sunday at DCC we saw that sometimes hard words are needed to communicate glorious truth and Paul’s words to the Church in Colosee are no different.  Using the language of circumcision and baptism Paul reminds the believers in Colossians 2:11-15 that they have been buried with Christ in death and raised through faith in Him into a new way [...]

  Yesterday we began talking about what “Becoming an Expression of Christ in Community” really means and today we continue by covering the purpose of becoming that expression, namely “transforming our neighborhood and the world.” When Jesus gave the Great Commission, He sent the disciples to all nations, all people groups, a pretty daunting task for the early church that continues with us today. Yet, even though the impetus for mission was given in Matthew, namely to make disciples, the strategy [...]

  Becoming an Expression of Christ in Community to Transform our Neighborhood and the World. As followers of Jesus Christ we were all given the same mission. That mission is found in Matthew 28:18-20 where Jesus said: All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have [...]

  Over the next couple days I will be covering in more depth what we value at De Soto Community Church. For a quick and dirty synopsis, you can review “Why We Exist” It is essential as we seek to Become an Expression of Christ in Community that we keep in the forefront what that actually looks like practically. Tomorrow I will begin this series with an explanation of our mission statement: Becoming an Expression of Christ in Community to Transform [...]
