Adventure Christian Church: Sermons & Messages

Because of God brings His holy, unlike any other kind of justice back on to Himself, it is possible for us to shift from ruined by sin to royal sons and daughters of God through His holy mercy, grace, and love. This week we also introduced our newest mission partner, Safe Passage.

God's peace doesn't remove conflict from our lives, it brings wholeness and completeness in the midst of the tension and conflict we face. God's undecorated peace arrives as promises but in ways we least expect.

Un-Decorated Joy is not an emotion tied to our situations and circumstances, instead it is a mindset, attitude, and posture of our hearts, minds, and souls that goes beyond and is ever-present in spite of our situations and circumstances.

Un-Decorated Hope points us to the fact that God choose people we'd never choose, to do things we never thought possible, in ways that we never considered.

David, faced immense challenges—from being hunted as a young man to experiencing personal failures as a king. Despite David's flaws and the turbulence of his life, he was known as "a man after God's own heart" because of his genuine willingness to invite God into his circumstances. David’s last words express his gratitude for God's unwavering faithfulness throughout every moment of his life. David...

There are times in our lives when our own choices or the choices of others cause throw us for a loop. When David's life goes upside down, we see the power of repentance in the midst of brokenness .

The challenges we face in our daily lives often cause us to feel as if we're on an "emotional rollercoaster." Our feelings hijack our sense of well-being and decision-making, often leaving us unaware of the impact this has on both ourselves and those around us. We must learn to acknowledge our emotional nature and navigate our feelings in alignment with God's design. Through David's encounter with...

Today, we are beginning a new series that explores our emotions and feelings in light of our faith, using the life of David as a guide. We see in David's life that we can express our feelings authentically while remaining rooted in faith. This week we are unpacking the significance of waiting in life’s uncertainties, as exemplified by Samuel’s and David’s experiences, emphasizing that God is at wo...

In the conclusion of the series "We, the Kingdom", Brad emphasizes the transformative nature of Jesus' teachings, highlighting that they are often challenging and can feel overwhelming. He argues that true understanding of righteousness is not about adhering to rules, but about embodying the character of Jesus in our lives. Jesus offers an invitation to rethink our approach to living, prioritizing...

Jesus opens the doors of His kingdom, offering a new way of life to those who have been deemed by the world to be unworthy. Accepting Jesus means recognizing Him as both Savior and Lord, which involves a choice between continually submitting to worldly powers or embracing the transformative life found in Jesus’ kingdom. Jesus speaks openly about the pressures and oppositions believers will face wh...

The "great concern" in Jesus' Kingdom is that we hold and care for the dignity, worth, and value of others as He would if He were us. This includes sex, sexual desires, and sexual intimacy.

Jesus came bringing clarity to confusion, providing answers to life's big questions by teaching about the nature of God's kingdom and the true meaning of righteousness. As disciples, we cannot seek fulfillment in political systems but must live as citizens of God's kingdom, offering peace and joy that transcends worldly struggles.

This week highlights Jesus’ transformative message, contrasting cultural ideals of success and happiness with the values of God's Kingdom, as expressed in the Beatitudes. We are encouraged to reorient ourselves towards accepting our current state and finding comfort in God's promise to meet our needs, this allows us to embrace this radical and freeing perspective.

Navigating life's purpose amid cultural chaos resembles looking at a Magic Eye image that requires a change in perspective to reveal deeper truths, especially when it comes to addressing life's four great questions: 1) What is reality? 2) What is the good life? 3) Who is a good person? and 4) How can I become a good person that lives the good life?  Drawing from Jesus' teachings in Matthew 4, we a...

In the final week of the Say “Yes!” series, we explore the concept of true obedience, and that it goes beyond mere compliance to authority; it stems from love, respect, and trust, requiring vulnerability.  Obedience to Jesus is essential for experiencing a transformative life, as it involves surrendering our hearts and resources to Him while acknowledging His divine authority. "The Great Commissio...

The Gospel of Jesus is best shared through intentional relationships where people know that you care and care about what you know.

Saying "Yes!" in obedience and stepping into the mess of other people's lives in order to live on mission means that instead of asking "Who is my neighbor?" we must ask "Who am I neighboring?"

We were not created to "do life" alone. Part of our very good (as it's meant to be) design is to be in authentic community with others.

Obedience is the vehicle that brings our values and priorities into alignment with Jesus.

Gentleness & Self-Control are the mindset and the muscle that bring our passions and desires into alignment with the passions and desires of Jesus.

In order for faithfulness to be born in our character and integrity, we must let Jesus into every aspect of who we are.

We're taking a quick pause this week on unpacking the individual elements within The Fruit of The Spirit to talk about the lifelong partnership between Jesus and us in cultivating fruit in our lives.

The week special guest, Rick Kyle unpacks how the fruit of goodness is born in our lives.

This week begins with a very exciting announcement, followed by unpacking the fruit of Kindness. Kindness shows up in our lives through empathy (grace) and authenticity (truth).

When we root our lives in the Holy Spirit, the fruit of patience is born through contentment and compassion.
