FIRM FOUNDATION | Church (pt 3)

Firm Foundation | Part 3 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

“Why do we do that?”

After an amazing Baptism Sunday this past week, we will plan to now finish our "Foundations" of Renew Bible Church series this Sunday.

If you have ever visited multiple churches, you may have noticed that every local church seems to have its own unique methods, styles, and approaches. Why is that? Beyond obvious doctrinal differences, why is it that one church focuses on one thing, and another like-minded church does something often totally different?  

In our three-part "Foundations" series, we’ve talked about the ‘why’ behind our first name “Renew,” and the addition of our middle name “Bible,” so now it’s time to talk about our last name, “Church.”  And, more specifically, what the dynamics will be that drive the mission, vision, and strategy of Renew Bible Church of Perkasie.

FIRM FOUNDATION | Bible (pt 2)

Firm Foundation | Part 2 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This episode we are looking forward to part two of three in our Firm Foundations series, Renew Bible Church. Last week we built on the word “Renew.” This week we will build on the word “Bible.”  

I can think of so many verses that speak to the power, authority and value of scripture, but we will spend the majority of our time in the great chapter of Psalm 119.

Join us as we look forward to hearing why we believe God wanted “Bible” in our name!

FIRM FOUNDATION | Renew (pt 1)

Firm Foundation | Part 1 | Pastor Chris Heller

Join us this Sunday as we kick off our church's next chapter with a three-week September series called “Firm Foundation.” We will be reflecting on the very verses that inspired our name - Romans 12:1-2!

JERICHO WALLS | Wall of Commitment (pt 14)

Jericho Walls | Part 14 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This Sunday, we will conclude our Jericho Walls series in Joshua chapters 23-24. Joshua is nearing the end of his life, and he desires to impart to Israel his vision for their future.

Join us this week as we reflect on one of the most powerful verses in all of scripture. “Choose ye this day whom you will serve, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)

It will be a very fitting sermon as we look forward to our first Sunday as Renew Bible Church of Perkasie.

JERICHO WALLS | Wall of Self-Reliance (pt 12)

Jericho Walls | Part 12 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Are you feeling tired, maybe lacking motivation, or do you find yourself easily frustrated? Did you know these are just a few signs that you may be struggling with burnout? We live in a fast-paced world that preaches a "go and get yours" self-reliance. However, that is far from God's plan for our lives. He does not call us to be self-reliant, He calls us to rely solely on Him.

As we approach the final two weeks of our summer series, Jericho Walls, we come to one of the more astounding moments in the book of Joshua (chapter 10) . . . the day the sun stood still.

In this incredible account, we see Joshua rely on and receive the help of God in such a miraculous fashion. When we ask for God's help, we will see Him do things exceedingly beyond all we could ask or think. The only thing preventing us from experiencing His wonder-working power is our own self-reliance.

JERICHO WALLS | Wall of Judgmentalism (pt 13)

Jericho Walls | Part 13 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

As we enter the final weeks of our Jericho Walls series, we leap eleven chapters filled with the conquering, allotting, and dividing of the promised land among the tribes of Israel. We now find ourselves in Joshua 22.

Israel has come to the place where Joshua can permit those tribes wishing to live east of the Jordan their freedom to leave. As they do just that, they make a decision that is perceived incorrectly, which immediately leads to conflict.

This Sunday we will learn how to navigate conflict, extend grace, and - as far as it depends on us - live at peace with everyone. Let’s knock down the dividing wall of judgmentalism.

JERICHO WALLS | Wall of Folly (pt 11)

Jericho Walls | Part 11 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This week, we will encounter the chain reaction of both of the victories at Jericho and Ai. As the news continues to spread throughout the Canaanite cities that the Israelites have a conquering God, the enemies of Israel resort to ‘wiley ways’ in hopes they can crack the impenetrable force that is God’s people.

Have you ever been scammed, fooled, misled, even bamboozled? It’s so frustrating, and it can be very damaging. Join us this week as we look to increase our discernment, wisdom, and watchfulness in order to avoid the snare of folly.

JERICHO WALLS | Wall of Vengeance (pt 10)

Jericho Walls | Part 10 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Last week Joshua and his army fled from the forces of Ai only to learn the reason for their defeat was due to deception within the camp. As we witnessed the ripple effect of one man’s sin, we’re left wondering how Israel will survive now that Ai and surrounding enemy armies no longer fear them?   

Join us this week as we see Yahweh’s vengeance on Ai and gain insight into why we are now told throughout the New Testament to not take vengeance, but leave it for the Lord.

If you struggle to forgive people, this will prayerfully be an encouraging and inspiring week of freedom from grudges!

JERICHO WALLS | Wall of Deception (pt 9)

Jericho Walls | Part 9 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Jericho has fallen! And this week we will see God’s people move on from their great victory at Jericho to the small city of Ai. One would think, after the miraculous victory at Jericho, nothing now could stand in their way.
Yet, it seems that someone did something ‘deceptively’ amidst the fallen walls of Jericho that God did not miss, nor will allow to go unexposed.

Join us this week as we witness the ripple effects of deception and search the scriptures to gain insight into how we can avoid the snare of a dishonest life.

JERICHO WALLS | Wall of Jericho (pt 8)

Jericho Walls | Part 8 | Pastor Chris Heller

As we’ve crossed the midway point of our summer series, Jericho Walls, we have finally arrived at Joshua chapter 6. 
This week, we will march alongside Joshua as he leads God’s people around the insurmountable city walls of Jericho.
Join us as we will gain 7 valuable lessons from this 7-day march to use during those times in our lives when we face something we feel is insurmountable. 
Let’s plan to grow spiritually from one of the most epic accounts of scripture!
