Sermons
Generosity
1 Chronicles 29:14-20
All that we have been given is from God. Do we struggle in giving back? Why is it important to tithe? Why is it important to give to the church? How is this a part of ministry? How is this a part of mission?
Discipleship
John 15:9-17
Discipling is inviting people in. Jesus doesn’t hold us at arms length. He invites us into the mission. Into obedience. Into fellowship. Are we discipling well? Are we handing down well? Are we encouraging and enabling the gifts that we see in others well? Or are we creating silos? Are we scared of losing our place? Losing who we are? Losing our value to the church? Are we a discipling movement?
Fellowship
Romans 1:8-13
Fellowship, being together, is a huge part of being a church. We see it in the Early Church. We see Paul’s desire to gather with the church in Rome, that they might be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. Does our faith encourage others? Are we encouraged by the faith of others? How does this functionally play out in churches today?
A Home Unbroken
Isaiah 66:18-23
In the unbroken Home Jesus will one day establish, every wound will be accounted for, every relationship restored, and every heart united in everlasting joy.
No Place Like Home
Isaiah 55:1-5
In the house of the Lord, there is life-giving food—free, abundant, and without end. It secures a place we cannot lose and sends us on a mission we must not ignore.
Far From Home
Isaiah 11:1-10
At Christmas, God leaves his home to enter our exile so that, by grace through faith, we might be brought home to him—a gift we could never earn but freely receive in Christ.
Gospel Benediction
Galatians 6:11-18
This message wraps up this sermon series. In the text, Paul once again highlights that there is only one gospel. And that those who would seek to make themselves look better are trying to edit it, attempting to add to it. The question we must wrestle with is: Are we?
Gospel Community
Galatians 6:1-10
What does it look like to live in a Gospel centric community? Are we comfortable with that? Why or why not?
Abuse of the Gospel
Galatians 5:13-25
There is a real danger of abusing the Gospel. How do we live by the Spirit, and not the Law, but avoid abusing the Good News?
Children of Promise
Galatians 4:21-31
Old Testament illustrations of Hagar and Sarah. How do we understand this strange illustration that Paul uses? What hope does this give us? What warning?
Freedom in the Gospel
Galatians 4:8-20
The Gospel frees us from our chains. Is that how we see it? Is that what we actually want? What chains is Paul talking about? How do we live in freedom?
Gospel Identity
Galatians 3:26-4:7
We may come from different cultures. We may hold different social status. We may have different economic circumstances. We may be different in so many ways. But in the Gospel we are unified, for in the Gospel we have been given a new identity.
Why the Law?
Galatians 3:15-25
What is the relationship between the Law and the Gospel? Why are they both so important? Which one do we like more?
Truth of the Gospel
Galatians 2:11-21
Truth isn’t concerned with who proclaims it. Do we believe that the Gospel does what it says it does? Are we willing to hear this truth through whichever means it is delivered?
The Power of the Gospel
Galatians 1:10-24
The Gospel has the power to change a person’s heart and life. Do we recognize that? Do we let it? Do we see how it has changed our hearts? How about the heart of our neighbor?
No Other Gospel
Galatians 1:1-9
Our world is full of ‘other gospels’ other ‘truths’ than the reality of Christ and what he has done for us. How tempting is it to turn to those gospels? Do we even realize that we are doing it?
