Austin Alive Church

Is Hell real? What is Hell? Why would a loving God ever send someone there? These are important questions, and most people have the wrong answers. This Sunday, I will answer these questions and change the way you view Hell.

No matter what you’ve done or where you’ve ended up, the heavenly Father longs for you to come home to Him.

There comes a point in every Christian’s life when faith is no longer just about you but about how you can help others. It requires a commitment and sacrifice that can only be motivated by love, God’s love at work in your life. When you give your life away for others you will truly find what life is all about. There comes a point in every Christian’s life when faith is no longer just about you but...

The Church of Jesus Christ is a living church. When something is alive it moves, and the church should be moving in the world as we accomplish our purpose here on Earth.

You may see Jesus as a religious leader, a philosopher, an historical figure, or even a therapist, but these perceptions only hide the truth and keep you from seeing Him for who He truly is.

One of the greatest challenges to living a victorious and miraculous  life is being insecure. When you don't know who you are in Christ you  will never step out onto the water.

If you want to be great in the eyes of the world, exalt yourself above others. If you want to be great in the eyes of God, take the posture of a servant.

The right spiritual position for Christians is a synergy of Confidence and Brokenness. We must be confident in our identity, calling, and authority, and yet remain conscious of our weakness and complete dependence on God. Regular encounters with Jesus are essential to maintain this powerful combination.

So many people think that becoming a Christian means obeying rules and proving yourself to God; a fury of effort to somehow make yourself worthy of salvation, but Jesus is saying, “Sit down, be still, and let me wash your feet.” The foundation of Christianity is not what we do for Him but what He has done for us.

Jesus is worth more than anything in this world. In fact, He is worth more than everything in this world, and those who see Him for who He really is are willing to trade everything to have Him in their lives.

There is a movement in the world to destroy people by any means necessary simply because they have a different opinion or because they have done something you find offensive. Should you and I as believers participate in Cancel Culture?

What does the life of Jesus, who lived so long ago, have to do with us? Jesus not only died and rose from the dead for us, He also lived a perfect life for us. Most people have no idea what Jesus accomplished for us through His life on Earth and how His perfect life can the change the way we live ours.

The greatest way that the church declares the truth and proof of Jesus to the world might surprise you. It is not power, miracles, wisdom, or clean living.

Jesus was crucified between two thieves. While one thief rejected Jesus, the other admitted his sins and placed his faith in Christ in the last hours of his life, and Jesus took him to paradise that day. Salvation is just a choice away.

The world is hurting. You may think that this ever-increasing pain is a sign of death, but I believe it is a sign that something new is being birthed. The world is experiencing labor pangs in preparation for the return of King Jesus. Better get ready. The King is coming back!

There is a war going on - a battle for the lives of people all over the world. The victory has already been won, but most do not know it or believe it. The subjects of King Jesus must share the truth, destroy the lies of the enemy, and declare the Kingdom to the world.

As Christians we are royal subjects under the protection and authority of King Jesus, but what does that mean? How do we live our lives as subjects to King Jesus, and how do we distinguish ourselves in the world?

Who is Jesus to you? Many Christians sees Jesus only as Savior- someone who exists to help them, but Jesus is more than a Savior. He is the only One worthy to sit on the throne of your life. If you want to go from barely surviving to changing your world, you must have a revelation of Jesus as the only Sovereign, Ruler, and King!

Whether you agree or not things have changed forever. What side of that change will you be on? Don't fear change, embrace it. You'll learn something new if you pay attention. Covid-19, being jobless, or even the routines right now may have you glossy-eyed (maybe all the food) but peer through the smoke and see the opportunities that await your cooperation.

If you stood totally exposed with all you’ve done laid out for all to see, would you hold your head high or hang your head in shame? Don’t let your sins define you, Jesus has the power to separate you from your sin and remove your shame.

Sometimes, God will break you down in order to reshape you for greater things. It is not easy. It can feel like life is falling apart. Nothing looks familiar and things are changing rapidly. It can be painful and fill you with fear, but if you trust God, He will bring you to a new level of purpose and productivity.

Yes, it was Jesus’ first public miracle, and yes, it truly happened, but the story is not really about the liquid water or the liquid wine.

The Covid 19 quarantine may seem like a death sentence, but it’s actually an opportunity for revival.

What’s been planted in your heart is what will grow in your life. If you're not intentional about what you plant in your life, then the world will plant spiritual weeds.

Could this be the end of the world? Let’s take a look at what the Bible says will come next on the timeline of events and what role God’s people will play.
