THE APPRENTICES
The Game Changing Kingdom

Today's Message:
'counter culture kingdom'

These blessings strike us as very odd. On the one hand, they sound like good news—especially for those who are beaten, abandoned, down-and-out, hurt, weak, discouraged, and oppressed. On the other hand, the blessings completely invert the cultural norms of Jesus’ day and ours. We expect Him to declare the middle-class mantras of our time: “Blessed are the wealthy, for they have everything they need.” “Blessed are the healthy, for they will prevail in the struggle for survival.” “Blessed are the educated, for their knowledge gives them superior leverage.” “Blessed are the powerful, for they call the shots.” “Blessed are the famous, for they always have admirers.” But Jesus sees greater blessing in qualities we usually dismiss or avoid.

Humility is not an abject, defeated attitude. To the contrary, it recognizes the “divine image” in everyone and refuses to manipulate or exploit anyone. It springs from a profound sense of the Father’s sovereignty and a deep trust in His provision and love. It sees life as bigger and more than “me” and dedicates itself to “us.” It eschews the trivial honors that commonly divide us but respects all people for their greatest honor of all—being created in the image of God. And to the extent that we nurture this “poor in spirit” attitude we discover the secret of contentment and productivity.
- David Timm 

Worship Arts

Worship


At Forum Christian Church we seek to intentionally connect people to Jesus through creative worship experiences that include vibrant and relevant music, singing and other visual elements.  We have a talented group of musicians who love to use the gifts and talents that God has given them.  We also have a dedicated technical crew working behind the scenes coordinating the lights, computers, and sound levels.

We work hard to help you worship our incredible savior, but in the end, it all comes back to what goes on between you and God, one on one. So come and praise with us! Raise you hands, kneel, sing, or just sit quietly and listen. God is already where you are; He has been there all along. Let us help you meet Him where He already is and worship in spirit and in truth.

If you are an artist or musician and would like to volunteer in this ministry, feel free to contact us or click here to submit an online volunteer form.  We would love to hear from you.
