Matthew 28:18-20 We begin a 3 part series , "Live It Out", on our Church Mission Statement. Pastor Daniel introduces it and then passes it to Pastor Will to address the issue of discipleship. Christians are called to be disciples and disciplers, following Christ's commands and living life to be conformed to His image. May our lives bear witness of the love of Jesus.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 Healthy Bible Teaching: 1) leads us to a God-centered life, and not a me-centered life, 2) promotes the love of God and the love of neighbor, 3) leads us to a Spirit-filled, Spirit-led life that conforms our will to that of God, 4) produces and cultivates in us the Fruit of the Spirit.

1 Samuel 17:32-37 As we continue the series, "Shaped by Jesus", we consider those things that leave us in awe. Being enraptured by God is a way to remove the tyranny of the ego. David's awe of God gave him courage to go against Goliath, who's awe was in himself. As we become more in awe of God, our faith increases. Behold His Wonders.

Ephesians 2:1-10 As we begin a short series, "Shaped By Jesus", we consider the stories that shape us. As we seek for transformation in our journey, we find ourselves helpless without supernatural help. God reached out to us to bring fulfillment. Our story must be blended with that of Jesus. Paul describes the Christian's journey and its benefits. What story is shaping you? Website: immanuelde.com...

Luke 15:11-24 The prodigal son left his father to search for meaning and fulfillment in his life, but discovered that it wasn't in the world. As he returned, he experienced the love and acceptance he desired. We find meaning as we realize we were created to have an intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father.

James 3:13-18 After Solomon's reign in Israel, the nation was divided between two kings: Jeroboam in Israel in the North, and Rehoboam in Judah in the South. We study 1 Kings 12-14, and learn of their decisions and the consequences. We learn from their bad examples of what can happen when we fail to seek and follow God's direction. May we seek God's wisdom through His Word and wise counsel. Websit...

Luke 4:18-21 As we conclude the series "People Together With God", we review the central core of Christianity, which is the Good News. We examine the story behind the Good News, as Jesus describes in this Luke passage. Our responsibility is to make known the good news of the Gospel in both word and deed.

Acts 4:32-5:11 We look at the need for truth telling as people devoted to Jesus together - and how, if we do truly live as a truth-telling family to one another, not only will we experience a deeper closeness with God and one another, but we will be shining as a light in a nation that is looking for a trust worthy people.  Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington

John 6:1-58 As we look at the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, we see Jesus make it clear that he not only meets our physical needs, but he fulfills our spiritual needs. He was not looking for political fame, but humbly revealed that he is the source of abundant life, as well as eternal life. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilming...

2 Corinthians 1:3-7 Once we are united with God through Christ, our life is not our own. Whatever we receive from God is to be passed on to others. His river of life is to flow through us into those we meet. As you receive comfort, compassion and power, allow the Holy Spirit to manifest them through you. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington

Galatians 4:6-7 In order for us to interact with God and with people, we must recognize our identity in Christ. When we accept Christ's sacrifice for us, we are adopted into His family, and become heirs to His Kingdom and His Spirit. As we realize our identity in Him, we are able to engage the world, even in these uncertain times. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington

Luke 10:25-37 As we look at the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we see that the man's action went beyond simple compassion. He willingly took on the burdens of someone else. It cost him time and finances, and he was willing to get his hands dirty to care for him. Compassion can also have an emotional toll, but Jesus made it clear that there are eternal rewards.

1 Corinthians 4 Are you free of other people's opinion of you, or your opinion of yourself? There's a way of life that allows Jesus and His acceptance and love for us to provide the freedom to no longer live for the opinion of others, but only as faithful servants and stewards of Jesus. As we live with that freedom, we discover the spiritual and life-altering power of the Kingdom of God in our own...

John 15:9-17 We begin looking at the Biblical vision of people being together with God. God created us to fellowship with Him, but desires to see us loving others also. To Jesus, friendship means being willing to lay down our lives for others. That doesn't mean simply accepting their "authentic self", but being willing to minister to their true needs. This sermon was cut short due to a small fire...

John 4:1-30 Worship is another aspect of our relationship with God. When Jesus meets the woman at the well, we see that nobody who meets Jesus stays the same. We learn that God seeks after us. Our response should be a life of worship, recognizing the Spirit's presence with us. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington

Colossians 3:17 Our relationship with God involves rest, work, worship and prayer. Work is what we do during the day. We are called to do everything for God in word and deed. God's work in this world needs to be reflected in our work in the world. We should reflect God's goodness, love and grace in all we do. The Gospel provides a purpose for our life.

Hebrews 3:7-4:16 After Creation, God rested, and Eden was a place where man experienced God's presence. Sin then separated us from the rest that comes with His presence, but Christ's sacrifice has made it possible to experience it again. Are you too maxed out with activity to have a Sabbath rest? Trust in God's faithfulness and love, and take time to rest. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanue...

Luke 11:1-13 As we continue the sermon series, "People Together with God", we explore prayer as our connection with God. In Luke's account of the Lord's Prayer, we identify what should be the content of prayer, and then consider our expectations of response to our prayers. He promises provision, forgiveness, and the coming of His Kingdom. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington

John 13:35 We begin a new sermon series "People Together with God". We were created to fellowship with God, but sin broke that connection. As a result, we are missing the eternal. Nevertheless, Jesus reconciled us back to God. Are we sharing our lives with each other as Jesus shared his life with us? We need to ignite the witness of the Church.

John 21:1-19 As we conclude a miniseries surrounding the resurrection of Jesus, we see Jesus inviting the disciples to eat breakfast with him on shore, after the miraculous catch of fish. Having proved his resurrection, he takes time for final interaction with his disciples. The resurrected Jesus is still in the business of encountering people every day. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelc...

John 20:19-31 After the resurrection of Jesus, the disciples still gathered in a locked room out of fear, until Jesus appeared and showed them his wounds. Thomas was not present then, and also expressed doubt when they told him about it. Jesus appeared again and made a point to address Thomas, showing him as well. Despite our questions and doubts, Jesus will make himself known to us. Website: imma...

Matthew 28:1-10 Jesus came to give us a glimpse of heaven: love, grace, healing, and so much more. Because of His death and resurrection, it became available to us. The Gospel of Jesus gives us an opportunity to participate in a new story, with a new identity. By dying to our own will, and seeking to follow God's will, we can experience resurrection life. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuel...

Matthew 21:1-16 As Jesus made his way into Jerusalem on a donkey's back, the people thought he would be a king to set them free from Roman rule. Instead, he made it clear that he was fulfilling the prophesies of a spiritual Kingdom. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington

Matthew 18:1-5 Ancient and current societies urge people to excel to be the greatest. Jesus turns it around and challenges us to humble ourselves before others, even as He did. There's little satisfaction if we seek to exalt ourselves, but fulfillment comes when we exalt others. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington

Matthew 13:51-52 Throughout Scripture we are told to remember: Remember God's faithfulness; Remember those treasured moments. And yet we are also told to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us to new treasured moments and adventures. Allow the blessings of the past to give you an excitement for His work in the future.
