The Challenge of Service in the Changing Theology of the World
    Audio Notes
  A message delivered to the deacon body of Sagemont Church on Saturday, March 15, 2008 at the Danbury Lodge, a retreat center built for Sagemont Church under the leadership of Dr. Hastings. The beautiful lodge project began in 1999 and was completed in 2002. Ninety-nine percent of the lodge was built with volunteer labor. Pictures and information about this beautiful 15,286 square foot lodge can be seen at www.danburylodge.com.

This message charges the deacons to hold to the foundational theology that has been the bedrock of Sagemont Church amidst the two polar theologies that are rapidly being embraced by sister churches across America. One theology is very restrictive, the other is very open and liberal, yet both are dangerous to cause of Christ.

The Heart of Living Proof Strategy of Sagemont Church

The mission of Sagemont Church is “To be living proof of a loving God to a watching world!” To fulfill this mission we selected six words to use as a strategy to help in obtaining that mission goal. To this end, each word has a meaning and focus in our mission. Like the human heart, the left side of the heart is all about taking in and the right side is all about sending out! The old blood comes into the left side of the heart where it is refreshed and then sent out the right side of the heart. The three words - Worship, Connect, and Learn - are about providing a place for you to take and grow in the Lord. The three words on the right side of the heart – Give, Serve, and Pray – are about you ministering and giving out what you have taken in.

In these six lessons we will discover the Biblical truths about each step in our strategy.

CORE VALUES
Since the beginning of Sagemont Church in 1966, our Pastor has led this church in a marvelous way. Through these years seven core values have emerged that guide this church in ministering to people all over the world. I have been a part of Sagemont Church sine October 1990 and these core values have become a part of my personal life and my public ministry. All the people of Sagemont have their own personal understanding of these core values. These seven lessons represent my testimony of how I have seen these core values have guided this wonderful church!
