What Is Man?

Mike Sullivan

Psalms 8

When the Psalmist considers the question of what is man, he recognizes that the basis for understanding man is to understands who God is. God displays His might through the weak. With God, even the weakest people can do great things. In His mercy, He confers dignity on us. Humans bear the image of God. God send us into the world to rule by making us co-rulers with Him. Jesus asks us to use the great power and resources we have as co-rulers to serve others.

Can Our Achievements Bring Satisfaction?

Scott Risley

Ecclesiastes 4:4-12

Even though King Solomon was the most accomplished ruler of all time, in the end he found all his accomplishments to be meaningless apart from God. He found that in spite of all his extraordinary accomplishments, he was alone. He was at the top and had no one to share it with. He discovered it was better to have less and a friend to share it with because "two are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed."

The Pursuit of Achievement and Success

Conrad Hilario

Ecclesiastes 2:17-23

King Solomon, having already determined that pursuing wonton pleasure does not lead to a meaningful life, now turns his attention to attaining achievement and material success. But once again he comes up empty. He understands all his toil and anxious striving only leads to grief and pain, and restlessness. The Bible does not teach that work is sinful, but seeking ones significance from work is. There is a type of work that is meaningful, due to its enduring quality. When we pursue the work of the Lord, we will find significance and meaning.

Dynamics of Renewal in Christ

Jim Leffel

Colossians 3:5-11

When we become believers in Jesus, God embarks on a renewal process that involves us putting on Christ and setting aside the old self, the old way of life. We can know intellectually that we are a new creation, but we must go deeper and really consider our bodies to be dead to the old immoral ways. As we are clothed in the newness of Christ, all the differences between people falls away. We are one in Christ. This is real hope for a broken world. It cannot be lived out individualistically. It is lived out corporately, united with one another.

With Christ:Past,Present,Future

Jim Leffel

Colossians 3:1-4

Just as nothing can change the details of our past, neither can anything change the fact of our justification if we are in Christ. If we are in Christ, it is a fact that we are raised and seat with Him. Now, our life is completely identified with Christ's life. What is true off Jesus is true of us. And finally, when Jesus is revealed in glory, so will we. Knowing all these things are true, we are to keep our eyes focused on Christ and the things above.

When God Became One of Us:Implications of the Incarnation of Christ

Jim Leffel

Colossians 2:8-15

The incarnation of Jesus Christ is the most central truth of the New Testament. Christ did what for us what only God could do for us. It is through the incarnation of Jesus that we can know God. Christ answers our need to know God, our need to be worthy and our need to matter. In Christ, God made us whole. He became our proxy. What is true of him is true of us. He took our place and paid the price to free us from our sin debt.

Ministering Because I Matter

Mateo Williamson

1 Timothy 1:12-16

Do I serve God in order to matter, or because I already matter? Any Christian that is trying to serve the Lord will wrestle with this question many times over. This workshop will explore approaching ministry God's way-not to prove myself to God and others-but to "love from a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith."

Jesus and Zacchaeus

Ben Foust

Luke 19:1-10

The lesson we can learn from Jesus' interaction with Zacchaeus, the tax collector, is if you are lost, Jesus is seeking you. The way Jesus initiated with the this most hated man is typical of his posture toward all people. He showed him mercy, grace, honor, and acceptance, as well as included him in the family of God. Jesus' only prerequisite is to acknowledge your "lostness." Being "found" by Jesus dramatically changes the course of people's lives just as it did with Zacchaeus, who made four-fold restitution and gave away half his possessions after being "found."
