Gospel Life Sermons

The Father’s Will, Purpose, and Plan is to UNITE all things in Christ. Satan's will, purpose, and plan is to cause disunity however and wherever possible. We fight the good fight of faith, by standing firm in Christs strength and striving for UNITY in the church, in our homes and at work. Jesus HAS ALREADY DEFEATED the enemy and now we can stand firm in HIM and IN HIS FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS.

The gospel changes our view of work, our standards for work, and even makes our daily work worship unto Jesus for the glory of God and our joy as His chidren. This is such good news, because most people spend the majority of their life working and if we see it as a necessary evil or as a place to find our identity, we will miss God’s design and gift of working for our true Master Jesus Christ!

Parenting, like marriage is another opportunity for gospel connection. First we’re all children with parents. Second, many of us are parents of children. And third, we belong to a church with tons of kids, therefore even if you don’t have kids, you have a parenting responsibility in this local family of God.

Marriage has been made to be the ultimate relationship and as a result, people who are unmarried, have a tendency to feel as if they are lessor than – as if marriage is somehow the ultimate goal. But the Bible doesn’t speak about marriage in ultimate terms. In actuality, marriage according to God isn’t the ultimate destination or even the ultimate relationship – marriage is only intended by God to...

My hope for us Church, is that we would wake up and actually want holiness; that we would walk in love by putting on thanksgiving, obedience, and in all this—rest in Christ by the Spirit. As we grow in holiness, we will grow in love, we will grow in knowing Christ, and we will grow in showing God to the world.

What does the Christian life look like and how do you live it? Paul calls the Ephesian church to look different than the rest of the world by remembering and applying the finished work of the gospel to their everyday lives. How do they do this? The answer is the two-step Christian walk of faith and repentance.

A healthy church will be unified and diverse, with maturing people who are full of worship, are incredibly welcoming, humble, grateful, sacrificial in their serving, and excited about discipleship for the glory of Jesus.

Paul prays for God’s power, because he knows that without God moving and providing the power of His gospel – there is no way – the church of Jesus would ever be whom God saved them to be in this world and do what they are commissioned to. So, this section is a great reminder that we must have POWER if we’re ever going to mature as followers of Jesus, and POWER to comprehend the love of God if we’r...

Our world is divided by race, culture, politics and socio-economic status. However, the greatest divide that existed in biblical times was the separation between Jews and Gentlies. This text tells us what Jesus Christ has done about this divide and how his cross saves the stranger, reconciles the enemy, and builds all of God’s people together into a united church that proclaims Jesus Christ to the...

Our need for salvation is so great that it took the totality of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. Healthy followers of Jesus understand their ongoing need of the gospel and the great help they have access to contained in the riches of God's grace.

Knowing God is about living with HOPE, knowing your WORTH as a person, and living with extremely POWER each and every day in a fallen and broken world. Knowing God = HOPE, WORTH and POWER; these are three things that everyone needs and is trying to get in this world! But these things are only Christian things!

The key to Christian living begins with a BIG view of God. When believers in Jesus begin to see the more-ness of the gospel, it will propel their growth and maturity of faith.

Experiencing the peace of God flows from being convinced of the love and grace of God that contains the supernatural power to transform sinners into saints - making the unfaithful, faithful in the eyes of God.

The story of the wise men is about so much more thancamels, gifts, and a star. In fact, Matthew 1:1-12 introduces us to the kingship of Jesus Christ and invites us to consider if we will receive, reject, or ignore him. Come adore Jesus as King with us and see how this beautiful passage points us there!

Jesus, God's Son and very imprint of God's nature, who upholds the universe by the word of his power, came to us in humility to bring us the good news message of God's Kingdom - that God sent His Son to save His people from their sin and to reconcile us to himself and others. Jesus is a friend of sinners and he has come to set us free! This is whom we adore, worship and celebrate with expectant ho...

The greatest enemy of the human heart isn’t Satan or evil or injustice. Our greatest enemy is our pride and we need to be rescued from ourselves. At Christmas, we celebrate the good news that Christ came to conquer our greatest enemy with the most effective weapon possible: his humility. O come let us adore the Conquering Servant, Jesus Christ!

The Apostle John catches just a glimpse of glory of Christ in heaven and is blown away. We too must be blown away by the glory of Christ and respond in joy-filled praise

Jesus didn’t show up unannounced; a whole company of prophets spoke. Throughout history, prophecies not only specifically pointed to the surety of his coming, but also made specific promises about what his coming would produce forevermore!

Giving is a Christian invention. It’s a Christian endeavor. Giving is a God thing, so when God’s people give sacrificially, consistently and regularly, and are committed to giving for the sake of others without reservation for the glory of God, the building of Jesus’ church, the advancement of the gospel and good of others, it’s the most pure picture of the nature and character of God in a fallen...

The point is that God’s grace is so good, so rich, so satisfying, and so full it will not only provide enough for you to live, but it’s will also be more than you need to live so that you can reflect that same grace to the people all around you, “increasing your harvest of righteousness”. God’s grace is sufficient and abundant so we can participate in building the Kingdom of God that will last for...

Gospel Generosity isn’t some generic financial principle or a legalistic rule for Christians to follow. Instead, Gospel Generosity follows a plan to give faithfully, trusts God’s promise that he’ll always provide for his people, and gives so that God’s mission advances and others are blessed! Ultimately, we can be generous because Christ was first generous with us!

If we’re going to understand 2 Cor. 8-9, we must understand that Paul and Luke share the same theology and are preaching the same gospel and are making the same gospel implications for daily Christian living! If you’re just joining us – these two chapters contain Paul’s extended motivational plea to the Christians at Corinth to check their hearts and to make sure their professed faith matches thei...

Jesus makes clear in Matthew 6 that seeking God first in everything and with everything, is where true life is found and enjoyed. Therefore, First Freedom is about two things: it's about our giving TO (the vision of our church in this next season) and it's also about our giving FROM (the condition of our hearts), as we’re looking to Jesus and experiencing the amazing grace of God.

What do we do when we’re troubled, stuck, afraid, or anxious? The answer to that question will tell us a lot about the state of our heart. Thankfully, the good news of Jesus invites us to find peace in Christ when we remember God’s character, trust God’s promises, take a step forward by faith, and worship the Lord!
