Gospel Life Sermons

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!

Underneath the debilitating emotion of fear is idolatry, and the sin beneath idolatry is a functional disbelief in the goodness and amazing grace of God. GOSPEL COMMUNITY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What is your heart idolatry? 2. How are you going to remove it? 3. In what way is Jesus a better God than that idol?

The world we live in is a scary place – We Need a Shepherd. We need someone bigger, stronger who has more authority to lead us, guide us, protect us, and keep us, and even carry us home. GOSPEL COMMUNITY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. How are you dealing with your fear? Are you prone to try and get control, or run and hide? 2. "Where", "to what" or "from whom" are you looking for joy and life? 3. In wha...

Fear is a great tool, used by Satan to combat the Kingdom of God while trying to divide and distract and disorientate the church of Jesus Christ! But Jesus said something in Matthew 16 – “I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail.” This is only possible when you FEAR NOT. GOSPEL COMMUNITY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What desire is truly ruling your heart? What is that desire produ...

Psalm 96 was to be used in Jewish cultures as a call that would summon the people to celebrate God’s rule over all of creation, and as a teaching tool that would show the people who should love and worship him. We'll take a look and see how Psam 96 reminds us as NT Christians, why and how our worship shows non-worshippers about the God we joyfully follow. The greatest legacy we can give as worship...

We live in a world filled with fear! People are afraid due to numerous circumstances that currently surround us – political, social, medical - Horizontal fear is overwhelming our world and is just as evident inside the church as it is outside. As believers, why do we live in fear like the rest of the world? Because fear is a byproduct of trusting in self, looking at self, and relying only on the r...

This Psalm is about the pathway to peace while living with trouble in a jacked-up world. Trouble is real. It's in me and all around me. BUT GOD... He uses trouble to show us our sin so that we can run to our Savior. This promotes worship of Jesus in us and bears fruit before others so they too can be saved, helped, comforted and cleansed.

JESUS IS THE SOURCE of TRUE HAPPINESS! All that He is. All that He has done for us. All that we are IN HIM! All that He PROVIDES for us NOW! And ALL that He PROMISES us for our FUTURE.... THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE and UNCHANGING!!! And IF our Happiness is ROOTED in Christ... Then it can be TRUE and UNCHANGING as well!

Psalm 117 is the shortest song in the book, but it is packed with a powerful promise. God is the Creator and Ruler over all nations and all people groups and as the One true and living God, He cares for His people and is faithful to keep His promises to them. Where do we turn to interpret our circumstances in a world and culture that celebrates and praises people over God? This Psalm is a reminder...

Nothing will drag us into disillusionment quicker than envy, jealousy, and comparison. In our social-media-driven world that’s an easier place to end up than ever. But Psalm 73 shows us the way out of disillusionment and into devotion. It begins with beholding the ‘better-ness’ of Jesus.

In a world where power is praised and dominion over others is demonstrated, Psalms 8 is a declaration that King Jesus will demonstrate His power and dominion through the weakness of His people. And that His majesty will be on display as He defeats our enemies - of Satan, sin and death - through meekness and humility as the King of Glory dies in our place on the cross.

Psalm 119 is both a celebration of the immense value of scripture and a picture of how the Word of God points us to a relationship with the God of the Word himself! In fact, our posture toward God’s Word will often reveal something about our relationship with the Lord and in this we need Jesus to change our hearts, anchor us in his truth, and show us how all of scripture points to and makes much o...
