What does it mean to be salt and light? Why does Jesus talk about being salt and light? Pastor Jerrod shows us what Jesus meant by that teaching. And how being salt and light makes up the identity that God see us as who we are. Series: Identity: He Is, I Am, We Are Speaker: Jerrod Wagner Scripture: Matthew 5:13-16

We are one body, but we are also the church. Jesus started building His church up this rock, whom he had named Peter. Through one person, Jesus began his ministry of BIG C church. Pastor Kelly shows us what being the church means, what it means to go to church, and doing church. Here’s the next “we are” statement, which makes up our whole identity.

We know from past weeks who God says He is, and Jesus’s I am statements when He was down here on earth with us. And we dove into who we were as an individual, and what God says we are. Now, we take look at who we are as a corporate body, as humanity, God’s creation. Let's look at what that collection of individual pieces looks like to God, as we are considered one body.

Names are one important way of identifying someone. Our names can bring honor, tell stories of legacy, our family history, and even our past. We take a look with Pastor Kelly, where Jesus gives Simon a new name in Peter. And the use of this new name as well as its significance, and what Peter’s old name had begun mean.

PS19 - "Words Matter" with Kelly Fellows by REFINERY Church

God is a star making God, that despite how finite we are, He see’s us as important. Three things we learn from understanding this, it builds confidence, strengthens faith, and fills us with joy. Pastor Kelly will show us the importance of God’s Word, and what we get from the Bible. While talking about the importance of the sun in Psalm 19, King David writes about the purposeful and importance of God’s Word to light, just like the heat of the sun is important for life.

This week Pastor Kelly dives into the peace that Jesus gives. Another quality that we see shone from light, that we identify with during the Christmas holidays. He was known as the “Prince of Peace,” which brought a peace with, of, and because of God to all mind kind. That same peace was passed on to us, as peacemakers we carry that specific identity on what they would look like.

Shine - Intro with Kelly Fellows by REFINERY Church

We are wrapping up this entire Immovable series, and introducing us to the holidays and end of year. Pastor Jerrod will remind us how God’s promises had always brought good things for us. God’s covenants with us were those very promises, and He continues to remind us of those promises with symbols such as the rainbow after a storm. The reminder that He will never bring a flood upon the earth again. We are reminded by Pastor Jerrod what Romans 8:28 says, that God works all things for good according to His purposes.

Pastor Kelly wraps up his series in this last part of God’s covenants starting back from Noah, leading up to His new covenant with Jesus to all of mankind. You’ll also see despite this new covenant, God never forgot His past covenants and yet still fulfilled them through this new covenant. Take a look how Jesus invited into a relationship with Him through this new covenant. As well as how this new covenant is better than past covenants, and the prophecy that was made in Jeremiah.

We are continuing to learn about God's promises and covenants with His people. God has never forgotten His promises. Pastor Kelly will continue to touch on Abrahams covenant with God, and how that led God to making a second covenant with Moses, further solidifying His covenant with Abraham 500 years later. A covenant that continues to transcend time and generations. Pastor Kelly will also show us, how God's promises will fill us if we are willing to open wide.

We’ll explore the various covenant elements that God performs with Abram, in order to convince him and even us of His commitment. We also see that God reminds Abram that God will be his shield, and not just him but the generations that all follow after Abram. Part of this promise, was another element, the exchanging of names. Where Abram and Sarai are given God’s name, and God’s name which was known as just God, to be known as the God of Abraham from then on.

In Genesis, we see God establish a covenant that would transcend generations. Abram, who we later know as Abraham, was whom God saw and established His covenant with. A covenant that we continue to see God’s promises fulfill to this day! It was this one man’s faithfulness that cemented His promises to all the earth and all the people. With that, God’s plan of redemption could be realized and put to work. Pastor Kelly explore’s Abram’s faithfulness, which established God’s promises that continue to be fulfilled to this day.

AJ Mora, reminds us of God’s promises even when things are difficult. Even in the midst of tragedy, God remembers all of His promises given to us. During those times, He reminds us that everything is going to be all right. AJ will take us down the countless testimonies of where God promised that everything was all right, how His hands are still working in the situations, in our lives, as well as the lives around us.

One of the first times we see the term covenant spoken in the bible, we find a man that the Lord finds favor in and his name was Noah. This week, Pastor Kelly dives into the deep end of the flood water. Because of Noah’s faithfulness, God promised not to destroy all life with floodwaters. We’ll go deeper into the first covenant, and his promise that stood for the future of all of humanity.

To gain insight into Biblical events and rituals that can seem obscure, Pastor Kelly explores the practices and parts of establishing a covenant. For generations, cultures have formed covenants to ensure that promises and commitments where secure. In this message he shares the 4 parts of forming a covenant, and specifically the 9 elements of a covenant ceremony. A knowledge of these practices give deeper understanding into the cost and commitment God has made through His covenants with humanity.

For centuries, God established covenants with individuals for the sake of many. We take a look at the 4 major covenants made with people, the Noahic Covenant, the Abrahamic Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant, and the Davidic Covenant. These covenants display God’s numerous times of creating relationship throughout the Old Testament, and lead into His “new covenant” in Jesus Christ, and with us today.
