TICF Sermons

Jeff Hendrix on Romans 8:31-39. We wrap up our Lenten journey through the first half of Romans. Paul reaches the summit of his argument with the resounding statement that there is nothing in all creation that can separate us from the love of God. But what does that mean to us today? Do we really believe it?

Marcus Figueiredo on Romans 7:15-8:5: We continue our Lenten series on Romans with the issue of wanting to do right, but finding yourself doing the very thing you hate? That internal tug-of-war isn't a sign that you're beyond hope. It's actually the starting point of the gospel."

Eli Moyer on Romans 6:1-14: We continue our Lenten journey by looking at Romans chapter six. This is where all the stuff that Jesus has done bumps into “what do WE do now?” and that bumping can cause some friction and confusion. Paul is addressing this great question…if grace is good, isn’t more grace better? We dig into this topic to try to make it clearer about what it means to be dead to sin an...

Jeff Hendrix on Romans 5:1-11. We continue our Lent sermon series looking at it through the lens of Romans. In Romans 5, Paul takes us on the pathway of grace toward a hope that will not disappoint. If you're feeling the weight of this world is unbearable, know that God's grace through Jesus Christ has offered to help carry the load.

Jeff Hendrix on Romans 3:9–26: We continue our Lent sermon series as we work through a short visit to Paul's letter to the believers in Rome. In today's message we encounter the "but now" transition from hopelessness in sin to the hopefulness of freedom from sin through Jesus Christ. The question is, "What will we do with this freedom?"

Jeff Hendrix on Romans 1:16-25: We begin our Lenten season with Paul talking about Sin and how easy it is to shrink God down as we try to rely on other things that are of this world. Quit worshiping the Creator and start worshiping the things we create. What we worship begins to shape us and when the things we worship aren't God...they will end up crumbling.

Marcus Figueiredo on John 8:31-36. We wrap up our sermon series on The Promises of God with a look at the promise of freedom. When the son says you are free, you are free indeed. How are you living though? Do you experience true freedom from Christ or are you in a false sense of freedom of this world?

Jeff Hendrix on Matthew 5:13-20. We continue our series on the Promises of God with the promise of Guidance. What does it mean to be salt and light in the context of God giving direction to his people. We look at what it means to follow Christ and how to know which way to go.

Onsy Ibrahim on Matthew 5:1-6 We continue our series on The Promises of God with this look at the promise of blessing. Taken from the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount we see that all the blessings of God pour out on those who are in right relationship with Him. When we become self focused and draw away from him...his blessings cannot be experienced but draw close...regardless of circumstances,...

Jeff Hendrix on Matthew 4:12-23: We continue or series on The Promises of God with this installment on the promise of Ministry. While many of us wait for the perfect time to move into ministry and often long to stay in the stronghold of God, we are reminded that God's presence is our stronghold. When he calls us to new work, he also empowers us to respond and goes with us to help us be safe in...

Jeff Hendrix on 1 Corinthians 15/Psalm 98. We continue our series on the Promises of God with this installment called Victory in Jesus. We look at how from the very beginning humanity has longed for a happy ending...and that God has given us that through his son Jesus Christ.

Tony Hanmer on Hosea 11:8-11/1 Cor. 1:1-9 : We continue our sermon series called Promises of God with this installment on the promise of Faithfulness. Tony reminds us that God's faithfulness stems from his Love for us and calls on us to return to the faithfulness of God by bringing our needs to Him.

Jeff Hendrix on Matthew 3:13-17/Psalm 29: We start our new sermon series on The Promises of God with this look at the promise of new life. The voice of God speaks and new life begins. As it was in Genesis 1 and as it is noted throughout Psalm 29. Then at Jesus baptism, the voice speaks again, calling Jesus his beloved. The good news today is that God's voice speaks over us calling us beloved a...

Jeff Hendrix on Matthew 1:18-25. On this fourth Sunday of Advent we look at what happens when Love and hopes for the future meet a major disruption. When Mary becomes pregnant and Joseph is confronted with a decision. Stick around or take off. But then God sends an angel...and everything gets re-framed.

Jeff Hendrix on Matthew 11:2-11 This third Sunday in Advent brings us to the Sunday of Joy. In this passage we see John the Baptist, who was the one who proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah now questioning whether Jesus is really the Messiah. Expectations can sow disappointment and our task is dying to our expectations of who Jesus is and just follow him and allow him to reveal his joy to us.

Jeff Hendrix on Matthew 3:1-12: 2nd Sunday of Advent. This week TICF enters into a major transition. In the midst of that transition we find John the Baptist calling us into a deeper understanding of what it means to prepare the way for the Lord. Not just going to church and relying on a heritage of church attendance but really showing the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.

Jeff Hendrix on Hebrews 12 & 13: We wrap up our sermon series called "Greater: A Journey Through Hebrews" with a look at a Greater Kingdom. The author of Hebrews give us a wrap up of what all of this has been building to. The greater sacrifice, greater high priest, greater sanctuary...all of it leading to Mount Zion and a party to end all parties. But what does it look like to live i...

Eli Moyer on Hebrews 9:11-15. We continue our sermon series called Greater: A Journey Through Hebrews.

Jeff Hendrix on Hebrews 8:1-13. We continue our series called "Greater: A Journey Through Hebrews".

Jeff Hendrix on Hebrews 7:11-28. We continue our series "Greater: A Journey Through Hebrews". In this message we are reminded of the covenant extended through Jesus as he takes the role of the Greater High Priest in the line of Melchizedek. A paradigm change so great it's hard to believe.

Eli Moyer on Hebrews 3:1-19: We continue our journey through Hebrews called Greater. This week we are looking at a Greater Leader. The introduction of Jesus as the Greater leader. While Moses was a faithful servant in God's house--Jesus is greater still.
