Welcome to this Sacred Assembly. Today we join an ancient tradition, designed and set aside by God to bring His people together for something really significant. It’s cool to remember that Jesus Himself participated in sacred assemblies as a man and that His Spirit is here with us today, sharing in ours. You are encouraged to set aside your distractions, self-consciousness, and cynicism so that you are open to everything God wants to say and do here among us. The sacred assemblies described in the scriptures served a few different purposes. All of them are as important now as they were then.

Founder and Executive Director of The Pump House Ministries, Pastor Bruce Wilkinson shares how this innovative and growing ministry is showing God's love in practical ways.

With all the depth of the gospel of Christ - our sin, God's love, faith, forgiveness, fixed nature, and the new life of Jesus living inside us - it's kind of hard to imagine what living that life looks like.  Romans 8 gives us a simple picture:  a Spirit within us that calls out to God, "DADDY!"  Check out Romans 8:9-17.

We all struggle to do what we know we should.  Are we fighting a losing battle?  Is there any way to win?  There's good news in the war on sin: not only are we forgiven, but we're given what we need to do what's right.  So, then...why don't we?  The battle continues... Check out Romans 7:14-25.

When we become a new creation through faith in and union with Jesus Christ, the tyranny of sin is nullified. However, every Christian still has a struggle with sin. Why is that? And, can there be victory in the struggle? Check out Romans 7:14-8:7.

The Gospel is some good news for all of us who know we're less than perfect.  But what's it really worth?  Check out Romans 3:21-4:25.

Have you ever wondered if the person "across the room" really needs the gospel?  In our multicultural, religiously pluralistic society, how do you know that the other person isn't doing ok on their own?  What makes me so sure that someone else needs Jesus?  (First of a two-part message...). Check out Romans 3:9-20.

After spending the last four weeks talking about "walking across the room," we're going to be diving into the book of Romans, starting with a look at what's at the heart of someone who "walks across rooms."  What does it take to be that kind of person? Check out Romans 1:8-17.

Even IF we walk across the room and make a new friend, it STILL can be hard to know what to say when the topic of God comes up.  Wouldn't it be nice to feel like you know how to tell God's story, and your own as well, with clarity, brevity, and passion?  Here's some help to do so. Check out John 9:25 and 1 Peter 3:15.

In order to muster the courage to "walk across the room" we need to see the value that is inherent in every person, and be open to Developing a friendship with them, so we can earn the privilege to Discover their stories, and only then pray like crazy to Discern the next steps.  In other words, we need to begin "Living in 3D". Check out Luke 15:1-32.

Do you ever wonder if your life makes a difference?  What if you could make a lasting impression in this world simply by walking across a room?  If you're a Christ-follower, then you can.  Today we start a four-part series learning how to just walk across the room to give away The Single Greatest Gift. Check out Matt. 5:13-14.

Often the New Year brings hope for a fresh start.  The cool thing about Jesus is that He offers a fresh start whenever we need one.  Now, that's easy to say, but what does it really mean that we get a fresh start?  The new beginning we get in Christ does more than offer us hope - it gives us a drive and purpose, and sends us out to offer the chance for a fresh start to others who desperately need that same hope. Check out 2 Corinthians 5:11-21.

The choices of two men had tsunami-like ripple effects for the entire human race--one for evil the other for eternal good. Our choice of which one to follow has eternal ramifications. Check out Romans 5:12-21.

After Thanksgiving, it's easy to be grateful to God for all He's done for us.  It's pretty natural to be thankful to others for how they've helped us.  But is it possible to take our thankfulness one step deeper?  Let's take some time today to just a simple thank you. Check out  1 Thess. 1:2-10.

Can a butterfly in Africa cause a hurricane in Florida?  Then for Pete’s sake put that butterfly in ether and save hundreds of lives!  Seriously, how connected are we?  How connected are you?  What does connection mean for the church?  Let’s explore what it really means to be the “Body of Christ.â€? Check out 1 Corinthians 12.

The Lord has shaped all believers so that everyone can participate in the ministry of the church, the "body of Christ". The crucial question is, "Do you know your SHAPE?" This message explores some of the things that will help you discover your SHAPE. Check out 1 Corinthians 12:1-31.

Ever felt like you've been out of sync or off track in your relationship with God? As much as you may desire a newness in your devotion and commitment to God, He desires more, and is merciful. God has promised to make a fresh start in you. Present yourself to Him and watch Him keep His word. Check out Romans 12:1-2.

This message explores how the Christians of Galatia, and our own time, started living by rules and regulation instead of a true, authentic relationship with Christ. Paul's words to the Galatians, and to us, is to live a life full of the Spirit, free in the Spirit, and on fire for God. Check out Galatians 5:1-26.

Do people mistake you for Jesus? If we claim to know Him shouldn't we live, walk and act as He would? Knowing Jesus is much more than quoting scripture or going to church. It's living the Word. Check out Galatians 2:11-21.

If you were to imagine an "ideal church", what would it be like?  Who would be invited?  Who would attend?  What would they do?  What would they be known for?  The church at Antioch was a church that grew up a little different from the mother church in Jerusalem.  They had a chance to do things a little differently.  What might happen if we look at them as a "prototype" for a new kind of church?

The Lord has designed His church to be organic - to flow out of His nature, LIFE and Spirit. This message looks at one biblical church that was organic. Is ours/yours? Read Acts 11:19-30.

Unlike Saul, most of us aren't blinded by a flash of light and hear a mysterious voice when we first meet Jesus.  But one thing is the same - meeting Jesus brings change. How did Saul change after he met the living Christ?  How didn't he change?  And what caused the change? The answers to these questions may help us understand the change that God is working in us to help us grow into the individuals God created us to become. Read Acts 9:1-30.

Have you ever wanted a little adventure in your life?  Phillip was a guy who had a pretty adventurous experience - dynamic work in foreign locations, confronting evil magicians, meeting strangers on desert roads, and being magically transported to another town!  What can we learn from Phil about living a life of adventure? Read Acts 8.

What kind of emotions are stirred up in you when you realize someone has lied to you? How do you think God feels when He is lied to? Consider that "lies" are deadly choices. In Acts 5, Ananias and Saphira lost theri lives as a result of lying to the Holy Spirit. Everytime we lie, something inside of us dies. And everytime we tell the truth, we are renewed by God's Spirit. See Acts 5:1-11; 27-42

Is your life unabashedly given to Jesus Christ? Is your life about Him and His life in and at work in your life? We all get caught up in the routines of life and can become bound by them. We have to ask ourselves if we would hear and be willing to follow the outpouring of the God's Spirit. Would we be willing to stretch beyond what has become routine in our lives? See Acts 2:41-47.

Jesus unveiled! Jesus is among us now, living and working with us wherever there are opportunities for ministry, redemption, reconciliation and renewal. He desires to be at the center of our personal lives because He has a purpose and a plan for each of us. Rev. 1:9-20.

Jesus came to this earth on a rescue mission. He resuscitated the spirits of the life of His followers when He breathed His Spirit uopn them. Just as He did then, the living Jesus breathes His Spirit into our spirits. If your spirit is damaged or in question, Jesus wants to breathe His resuscitating Spirit into you, so that you might be engaged in His mission and share His life and love with others.

What do you do when you've hurt someone so deeply that "sorry" just  doesn't go deep enough.? Listen in as Pastor John unfolds the beautiful story of restoration that occurs between Jesus and the apostle Peter, after Peter denies that Jesus is his Lord. See John 21:15-19.

We are all sinners in desperate need of God's grace. Jesus' compassion and love for Peter following Peter's repeated denial of Jesus as his Lord is the definition of grace-based ministry - "with compassion restoring love through the grace of Jesus Christ." See John 21:15-19.

"Whadda you wanna do?" "I dunno. Whadda you wanna do?" "When Jesus' followers were wondering what to do after His resurrection, Pete got the idea to go fishing, which was exactly what they were doing before they met Jesus. Jesus shows up and demonstrates that you can never go back, but instead God calls us forward. Jesus gives a purpose that always provides an answer to the question: "Whadda you wanna do?"  See John  21:1-14.

How many times have you heard, "It's too good to be true"? Who wants to live a life that always filled with doubts? By bringing our doubts to the Lord, we allow Him to work in our lives so those doubts can be transformed into faith, which can then become a place where we can grow in our relationship with Christ.

Have you ever been in a place where you feel like to need to know that God is alive and with you?  Thomas the apostle is often picked on for wanting to see the resurrected Jesus with his own eyes after he missed Jesus' appearance to the other disciples.  Sometimes he's even called "Doubting Thomas."  But what if Thomas doesn't offer a negative example?  What if he offers an example of someone who desperately wants to see Jesus face to face?  Perhaps, unlike Thomas, we silence our doubts because our desire to see Jesus isn't strong enough.

In Acts 14, the apostles gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them. For the past several weeks, the people of Park Street Brethren Church and the Ashland community have been involved in a bold outreach ministry called Xtreme Renewal. Listen as Pastor John and others describe God's miraculous works in resurrecting a house and a family, and how lives were transformed.

The reality of Christ cannot be found in films, books and other products, but in the good works of disciples filled with God's love. We make the difference by experiencing LIFE in Christ and sharing Christ in life.

No matter where He was or who He was with, Jesus did not like to eat alone. Today, He calls us to join Him at His table, to connect with Him in a loving, Spirit-filled, eternal relationship.

Jesus' teachings in the last week of His earthly life were perhaps more profound than at any other time in His ministry. Humility, a servant lifestyle and spiritual cleanliness are demonstrated by Christ as He ate with His disciples in this final week before His death.

Jesus promised He would be with us forever. The Holy Spirit is our Counselor and our Comforter who guides and encourages us, and points us to the Truth and LIFE that is to be found in relationship with Jesus Christ.

Where does one go to find God? People have gone to the ends of the earth and beyond to try to answer this question. Yet, God's greatest desire is to live and remain in your heart.

Christ's final words for his disciples weren't about the details of spreading the word or building the church, they were to stay -- connected to him.

Are you living defensively, or being forward thinking and innovative in exercising your Christian faith?
