As we close the ACTS 29 series we explore our battle with sin. We look at the power of sin, why we sin and how we are influenced by sin. Paul teaches in Romans 5 that in Christ we have one nature and that we must understand our new identity in Christ. You must know who you are in order to really change how you live.
This week we take a deeper look between the Law and Grace. Legalism is a system of living in which we try to make spiritual progress or gain God's blessing based on what we do. Christ has set us free from the law by His grace. Join us as we look into the book of Romans on being set free to live under grace.
This week we explore the reality of the "Exchanged Life". Join us as we take a journey to the Cross and look at how we join Christ in this journey.
Sharing the Good News of Jesus doesn't have to be awkward or in-your-face but rather grows out of our relationships and results from the Spirit's guidance and empowerment.
Leadership is influence. Each of us are leaders in the environments that God has placed us whether that is work, home, church, or community. Our challenge is to lead by being Spirit Filled and Spirit led leaders.
Our American mindset has led us to believe that to follow Christ is to have an overabundance of wealth, health, perfect friendships, perfect kids and the list could go on. We difficulties and challenges come into our lives we begin to question God or think that we are doing something wrong. This week we look into the book of Acts to see that suffering is a key reality of the Christ life. It is through our suffering that Christ is glorified and seen to a world around us.
So often in our spiritual journey we think if we just try harder and do more for God that is the answer. The reality is that only leads to guilt, frustration and more duty. The truth is that God did not intend for us to live the Christian life out of our abilities, strength and knowledge. This week we explore the truth of the "Exchanged Life" that God offers each of us. His life for ours.
This week we take a step back and look at the primary ministry of Christ and His church--the ministry of healing people physically, relationally, and emotionally. Listen to a testimony of God's healing grace and power.
This week we explore the power of community in the life of the church. Our focus is on Acts 2:42-47 and who we are as the church. It is not about buildings, programs, budgets and the list could go on. It is about sharing life with one another through the good, bad and ugly through Christ. (Note: the live recording had some problems, so this is a reproduction of the same sermon in "the studio")
The foundation of the church is God's Story that is woven throughout the Bible. His power and plan are seen at work through Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration.
