Come Sojourn with Us
This is where you will find sermons and updates for our church. Our mission is to preach expository sermons focusing on the gospel of Christ. We are a church that is tied to the reformed tradition and seeks to submit to the scriptures so we walk in the Lord’s wisdom rather than our own.
We would love to have you join us on our Christian sojourn if you are in the Belgrade, MT area. If you are not in area then join us by listening to our bi weekly free sermon podcast.
Stay informed by following us on Facebook, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or through our RSS feed. We would love for you to join us for worship every Sunday at 10 am and 6 pm. If you cannot join us in person then tune into our YouTube livestream.
Paul has the authority of an apostle. This means that Paul can give a command and it is as if Christ gives the command. Paul makes a big deal not to appeal to his apostolic authority when he exhorts Philemon. Why does Paul use so many words rather than simply write, “I command you to forgive your brother who ran away!” Why does Paul try so hard not to constrain Philemon through forceful words?
Love has become something that is rather subjective in our culture. It seems that many today have reduced love down to a feeling or something that is sentimental. How does Paul define love? How does Scripture define love and how is this love not subjective or sentimental?
The Apostle Paul sure chooses some strange words when he talks about Christ’s work on the cross. An example of strange wording regarding the work of Christ is when Paul states that Christ became sin. What does that mean? If we really pause for a moment that sounds like Christ has sinned so he could relate to us. Is that what the Lord is saying through the Apostle Paul? Why would it be problematic that Christ would sin? What does Paul mean by this language?
I bet that if you were to survey the average person on the street they would tell you to question leadership and authority. I would suspect that this answer would be consistent among conservatives as well as liberals. We would probably not be that surprised by this considering that we have witnessed leaders deceive and abuse their authority. So, why would we as Christians want to trust leaders in the church? We know leaders in the church have fallen into sin so why trust leadership? How does the apostle Paul set the tone for Christian leadership? How does setting such a tone for leadership reorient someone’s idea or notion of service?
We are a bible believing church in the Belgrade, MT. We are a Reformed Protestant church who desire to build one another up in love as we sojourn under the sun.
