Thrive - Ambassadors for Christ (Matthew 5:14-16)
As the final message in our Thrive series, Pastor Matt asks the question - how do we thrive in our role as ambassadors for Christ?
Thrive - Work || Colossians 3:22-24
God created us to work in the beginning but the fall has ruined everything. Since salvation though it has changed the reason we work, not for futility but to give glory to God.
Accept grace; Worship is the motive; Do a good job; Expect the reward.
Thrive - Confession || 1 John 1:5-10
“Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.” Psalm 32:1
