It may sound strange but the reality is that anyone who believes in Jesus as their Savior is called to suffer for him. And the comfort we have is we don't have to suffer alone. God has given us each other to be able to support one another through our trials and persecutions.
Depending on our circumstances we can either view ourselves as a victim or a victor. In this message we explore our ultimate purpose for this life and when we remember what that is, no matter the circumstances, we can always have a victor mentality.
Divisiveness is like a plague and in order for us to maintain unity within our relationships and within the church, we first of all need to understand who we are in relation to Jesus Christ. And when we have a good grasp of that, it helps us view each other through the lens of thanksgiving.
Sometimes we convince ourselves that Easter is a once-a-year event and nothing more. But it is so much more. It's a reminder that we get to live in the resurrection power of Jesus Christ every single day of our lives!
Even though we don't live under the old covenant anymore, sometimes we still act like it by trying to come up with our own remedies to deal with the consequences of our sins. In this message you'll learn that Jesus' sacrifice was sufficient to pay for all of your sins once and for all and that's why the new covenant is much better than the old!
The Lord's Supper is an amazing gift from God and unfortunately like any good gift we can misuse and abuse it. In this message we do a case study of a church that thought they were celebrating the Lord's Supper when in reality they had corrupted it and made it into something it was not. Learning from their mistakes we get to celebrate Holy Communion the way Jesus intended.
Communion is the bridge between the Old Testament promises and the New Testament reality that Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God!
Baptism is an important gift from God that is often misunderstood, neglected and forgotten. In this message we remember the ongoing benefits of this amazing blessing and how it helps us in our daily struggles against sin and temptation.
When life feels like it's falling apart and it seems like there's no apparent reason why, it's easy to blame God and assume he's against us instead of for us. In this message we're looking at the final chapter of Job to understand that even though we may not know what God is doing behind the scenes, we can be confident that he's doing them for us!
Sometimes it feels like God, the church and everyone else is against us. Holding on to hope can be difficult during those seasons of life and yet a man named Job will teach us how to do exactly that.
