The Mission of our Church

-

VISION of The Church at Promenade:

We believe that the reason we exist as individuals and as a Church is ultimately to know Jesus and to make Jesus known to others. Therefore, the vision behind all that we do at The Church at Promenade points us, and others to this chief end.

MISSION of The Church at Promenade:

We have four core values that we believe will enable us to faithfully fulfill the VISION of our Church. We seek to produce people who WORSHIP God, CONNECT with other believers, SERVE the Body of Christ and REACH the world.

Value 1
  • WORSHIP - This is how we express our love for God. By seeking to become people who pursue intimacy with God through WORSHIPPING Him with music, communing with Him in prayer, and growing in our understanding of His word through Sunday Sermons, mid-week Life Groups, and our own personal daily Bible reading and application.

Value 2
  • CONNECT – This is how we express our love for other believers. By seeking to become people who CONNECT with one another. This takes place most effectively by pursuing community with other believers through life groups, and other avenues of meaningful fellowship.

Value 3
  • SERVE – This is how we express our love for the Church Body we belong to. By committing to be believers who serve one another at The Church at Promenade, we are able to effectively function as God has created us for, “by which ever part (or person) does its share”, which “causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love” (Ephesians 4:16).

Value 4
  • REACH – This is how we fulfill the second part of the Vision for our church, “To make Jesus known”! By expressing our love for those who do not know Jesus through random acts of kindness and through sharing the good news about Jesus Christ, we will be doing what God has saved us to do, which is make Jesus known to the world.

STRATEGY of The Church at Promenade:

We want to avoid producing people who are consumers or spectators of the faith. We desire that all people at The Church at Promenade move through a process of personal development through their relationship with Jesus.

The process that we have in place is to remain faithful to the mission of the church. This includes:

  1. WORSHIP together (especially on Sunday mornings)
  2. CONNECT together (especially in midweek life groups)
  3. SERVE together (especially within the church body)
  4. REACH out to the lost together

It is when each individual from The Church at Promenade, commits their lives to this mission, that we will be able to faithfully fulfill the Vision that God has given to our Church, which is to KNOW JESUS, and to MAKE JESUS KNOWN

What is godless chatter?

What is godless chatter? The term godless chatter is used by the apostle Paul when he exhorts Timothy to, “Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some” (2 Timothy 2:16-18, NIV). In context, this passage of Scripture is dealing with the godless chatter of false teachers who were sneaking into the church and trying to corrupt the truth of God’s Word (2 Timothy 2:14-3:9). Paul clearly warns Timothy about them when he points them out by saying, “Their teaching will spread like gangrene” (2:17). Paul likens the godless chatter of false teachers to gangrene, which was a deadly disease that spread rapidly and ate away at a persons flesh. This Greek idiom truly emphasizes the repulsiveness of the ministry of the false

I.       Introduction: On June 25, 1967 the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) commissioned the Beatles to write a song for the United Kingdom’s contribution to a T.V. show, called Our World, which was the first live global television link. The Beatles were asked to write and perform a song that would contain a simple message to be understood by all nations. What was the song that they wrote? “Love is all you need.” And with that song the Beatles struck a nerve that was felt around the world, as it hit home in the heart of over 400 million television viewers. After playing this song to over 400 million viewers, they quickly released it in the UK, where it soared to the top of the charts to number 1, and then after that they released the song in the US where it also reached number 1 on the billboard charts. The concept of love reaches down into the deepest part of almost every human being’s heart and soul. It has such an appeal to the human race that Amazon has over 245,000 books w

1 John 3:18-24 Conquering Condemnation Pastor Jason Stewart I.       Introduction:    A little boy visiting his grandparents was given his first slingshot. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit his target. As he came back to Grandma's back yard, he noticed her pet duck, and like a sniper quietly approached the duck, not really believing he would hit the duck of course, as he hadn’t hit anything he was aiming at all day. However, as this young sniper approached this poor unsuspecting duck, he took aim and let his rock fly. Wouldn’t you know it, the rock ended up hitting the duck right on the head, and as the duck fell dead, the little sniper panicked. He then desperately began trying to hide the dead duck before Grandma found out, and so he buried it in a nearby woodpile, only to look up and see his sister watching. Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch that day, Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes." But Sally said, "Johnny t
