What This Blog Is All About

This year, we are going to be stepping up our game at Proxy in a number of ways. One of those ways will be providing more content for our students, parents and anyone interested in Proxy through this blog.

The vision is to convert all of our sermons and messages into blog posts so that students can see what they may have missed the week before, study the theology they're learning on Wednesdays or review what the sermon covered. Those interested can get at least a taste of what we are all about.

Up to this point we've been in the book of Acts learning about what it means to follow Jesus faithfully, to be a radical witness for him. We've seen that following Christ means...

-That we are saved by Christ's work on the cross - by God's grace alone

-That everything, even our very lives, are to be worthless next to Jesus - he is our reward

-That we are called to share the gospel with our friends and enemies and live lives that honor God out of gratitude to him for sending his Son to die for us - an unimaginable gift

-That following Christ will often mean being a rebel, going against the grain of human nature and that it could cost us our lives

-That God gives us the boldness required to follow Jesus and not cop out

-That only by the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit can we be this kind of man or woman

We hope you all have learned and been changed and that you are excited about what God is doing and going to do in your lives.

We will now be starting a new series in Philippians where we will explore what it means to live out the Christian life. What does it really mean to know Jesus? What does it really mean to belong to him? The answers will be revolutionary, as the gospel always is.

Our first message will be an overview of the book of Philippians and will focus on identity in Christ.

See you guys on Wednesday night...
