The motivation to share the gospel is rooted in having been personally transformed by the gospel. The measure of the gospel’s effect upon your heart will directly impact the desire that you have to share Jesus with others. Listen to Pastor Paul Gant as he discusses the driving power of the gospel and attractive glory of Christ in you!

As we kick off the 2015 New Year, it is a great time to refocus and recenter ourselves on what is truly important. Our attention can be divided in a million different directions, therefore, it is essential to have periodic checkpoints to prevent these distractions from overtaking our lives. When we live outside of God’s intended design and forget his purposes, it does not take long to drift away from the core values that drive us. You were made for a purpose and God has a plan for your life.

For the month of January we will be examining four key areas that constitute God’s design for a fulfilling and satisfying life. You were made for worship. You were made for relationship. You were made for discipleship. You were made for mission. Join us for our Sunday worship service at 10am as we immerse ourselves in this 2015 New Year series: You Were Made for This.

One of the key building blocks to a healthy church culture is relationship. Without relationship, there can be no worship, discipleship, or witness…or at least the sort of kind that is healthy. The driving heart of this series is rooted in Ephesians 4 where the Apostle Paul stated so beautifully that, when each part of the body is working properly, that is when the body grows and builds itself up in love. Our new sermon series titled, It’s all about relationships, is designed to bring the local body of Christ at Sea Road into an extended season of both reflection and participation in the value of gospel-centered community.We look forward to having you join us for this new series and would love to have you join us following the service to participate in our newly launched R & D groups (Relationship and Discipleship) for a brief time of fellowship and discussion.

Part 1, “Deported Out: For Judgement” is drawn from the text in Lev. 26:14 and Deut. 28:64-68.
Tom Trask discussed (in the negative) how the American church (or Sea Road) is similar to Israel prior to and during her deportation to Babylon.

Part 2, “Deported In: To Prosper” is drawn from Jr. 29:1-14. Tom Trask considers (in the positive) why the American church (a practical application for Sea Road) should live like Israel in the deportation in Babylon.

“Knowing what you believe and believing what you know”

Over the next several months, we will be using the Apostles’ Creed as our guiding outline for the sermon series.  In the Apostles’ Creed we find a concise summary of the apostolic teaching in the New Testament.  Christians throughout the world and throughout the centuries have united around the core foundation of what the Apostles’ Creed confesses and declares about God and man.

As we move through this series together, we will be placing the weight of our emphasis in three primary areas.

1. the content of our faith;
2. the conviction in the truth of our faith; and
3. on the basis of the content and conviction of our faith, we would set our complete confidence in the glory of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

There is a crisis of faith raging today in the world and in the church.  Many people claim to believe in God but do not know the God in whom they believe.  Sadly, we in the church have often perpetuated this problem by reducing the gospel to its lowest common denominator and failing to discover, delight in, and display the full panorama of the gospel.  It is my great hope that as we work through the Apostles’ Creed, our knowledge of God would increase; our will would be fully persuaded; and our heart would fully trust in the glorious love of God the Father, the redeeming grace of God the Son, and the sanctifying work of God the Spirit.
