First Covenant Audio MessagesOctober25 October 2009 Pastor Dan Collison Title: "Collaborating in Healthy Leadership" (The Collaboratively Led Church) Summary: The New Testament is an amazing study of leadership development in the early Christian church. The process was very fluid and dynamic, however, specific principles emerged as the church grew: 1) All Christians should have a ministry, 2) God gives some Christians to be leaders in the Church, 3) Church leadership is always plural, 4) Some leaders emerge as "first among equals", 5) Leadership and ministry are designed to be "gift based", 6) Leadership is recognized and affirmed amidst Christian community.
18 October 2009 Pastor Dan Collison Title: "Infusing the Artistry of God" (The Artistically Infused Church) Summary: As demonstrated throughout the Bible, people made in the image of a creative God have the ability to communicate powerfully through the creative arts. The arts can convey emotions and deep meaning through eloquent forms, express personal and community beliefs and values, and inform and transform others. *We regret to say that a recording of this message is not available due to technical problems.

4 October 2009 Pastor Dan Collison Title: "Seeking Justice for Everyone Else"Series: Church Without Walls (Part IX) Text: Micah 6:8; Matthew 22:34-40 Summary: The prophet Micah came from a small town and yet was personally impacted by the social injustices of the surrounding urban centers of power. Civic and religious leaders were notorious for stealing land and houses from people of lesser position. Adding insult to injury was the manner in which some of this was done in the name of God and on behalf of the religious community. Micah spoke into these egregious circumstances with a clear message from God. His three imperative commands are critically relevant to Christian life in the twenty-first century and how we become socially aware of the people around us.
September27 September 2009 Pastor Dan Collison Title: "Going Local"Series: Church Without Walls (Part VIII) Text: Acts 10 Summary: The culturally engaged Church realizes that they exist in a 'glocal' reality (the convergence of local and global culture) and willingly becomes the hands and feet of Jesus in their cultural setting.
20 September 2009 Pastor Dan Collison Summary: The intellectually formed church is incurably curious about God and what He is doing in the world.
