Austin Alive Church

When Jesus washed the feet of the disciples, He set an example for all to follow. Christianity is about serving others and the Kingdom. No one is too good for any job that needs doing for God.

I don't care what the world says, I still believe in these core truths from God's Holy Word!

Judgment is a taboo word in church but it's also one that's often defined incorrectly. We are not called to stay away from forming objective opinions on the recognition of sin but rather to stay clear of enacting punishments for sin. That is God’s job.

We know that Jesus came to Earth to get involve in our lives, but you may not realize why. Jesus is knocking on your door. Do you know why? Do you know what He really wants?

Jesus came to Earth to live a perfect life for and die in your place. He took all the blame, all the shame, and all the pain of sin upon Himself, so why are you carrying the load He already carried?

Are you persuaded? Has the gospel changed your life, forever? Are you willing to not only live for Jesus but die for Him? Some will follow Jesus until things get tough, but some will follow Him until the end.

Being a Christian means following the Word of God even when we don’t feel like it. Pastor Avery shares some simple things you can do to help you stay in alignment with God’s word and live a more consistent and Christ-like life.

Accountability is a biblical tool God has given Christians to help us live according to the standard of the Word of God. But being willingly accountable to others is not always easy. You must desire to grow as a person and understand that we are all better when we make ourselves accountable to each other.

Your feelings are not the standard by which the Christian life should be lived, and if you live to please your every appetite, you will live a misguided and inconsistent life. God’s word is the standard for the Christian, and obedience to it should be our daily endeavor.

One sign of a mature Christian is their desire to please God. If you live to please others, then others will determine the outcomes of your life. If you live to please yourself, then you will determine the outcomes of your life. But if you live to please God, then God will determine the outcomes of your life.

The story of Jonah is more than just a guy who got swallowed by a whale. It's the story of how anger can prohibit you on your walk with God. The lessons Jonah should have applied can and should be applied by modern Christians.

Within the story of the five thousand there are two unique lessons for Christians to learn: the responsibility of elder Christians and the power of expectant thanks.

Every Christian wants to change the world, but most of us struggle to live out in our flesh what we feel in our hearts. The effective Christian life is more than God inside of you; it’s God seen on the outside of you. It’s more than God in your heart; it’s God in your flesh. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is God’s plan to empower your flesh or natural life so the God who lives on the inside of you...

God’s place is on the throne. Putting anything else on the throne is dangerous. Three common things we mistakenly put on the throne are politics, money, and ourselves.

When Paul and Silas were wrongfully imprisoned, they displayed a powerful example of the Biblical Prison Mentality. Understanding their role and God's role clearly changed everything for them. Your shackles can be broken by adopting their prison mentality.

The basis for Christianity is not working to earn your reward, it’s reaping what’s been planted. Jesus was planted in the ground and produced a harvest that all of God’s children can eat from.

While it’s easy to get focused on all the things God can do for us, our true inheritance as God’s children is Jesus Himself. Within the person of Jesus is everything you and I will ever need.

Easter 2022

Before Jesus takes you to the Cross or the Empty Tomb, He will show you the truth. Jesus loves you and me enough to help us face the uncomfortable truth about our lives.

Jesus took the power that death had over us, so why do so many Christians live in fear of death? When you’re not afraid of death it enables you to live a stable, free, and productive Christian life.

Christians can be incredibly effective with two simple words. ME TOO. The powerful ministry of relating to one another can change the world. How can I be so sure? That's exactly what Jesus did. Related to everyone and loved anyone.

Praise is expressing honor and thanks to God for who He is and what He’s done. You may not always feel like it, but you should always praise the Lord. Here’s why.

There are people who give their entire lives over to the Christian faith. They make huge sacrifices, dedicating themselves to worship, follow, and serve Someone who lived on Earth two thousand years ago. Have you ever wondered why? There are lots of answers but only one real reason for becoming a Christian, and I’m going to tell you what it is.

In life, you can choose to make the best of your circumstance. It becomes difficult when we get stuck in our past, question God, or even too heavily anticipate our future. Those things can be avoided by being present focused. Living for and in today.
