Legacy Church with Danny Cook

Key Truth: We receive power when we receive the Holy Spirit. Joel’s words can be understood as both hope for retribution and the promise of God’s ultimate plan being accomplished. Is the joy of the gospel through the power of the Holy Spirit overflowing in your life? Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legacychurchtx/ Join us in person: https://legacychurchhutto.com

Key Truth: If we desire God to exercise punishment instead of forgiveness, our hearts are not in line with God’s plan. Jonah resisted going to Nineveh because he knew God would relent if any sign of repentance existed. Jonah wasn’t interested in God’s mercy for others, only in his justice for wickedness. If we are honest, at times we’d rather God exercise punishment than forgiveness, and because o...

We are in a series called, Criticizing Jesus, where we are studying some of the criticisms Jesus faced during his ministry…what each criticism reveals about Jesus’s character, priorities, authority, and mission. In the story we’re looking at today, the criticism Jesus receives is because people think he is “possessed by Beelzebul” and say that “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons” (Mar...

We began a new series this past week called, Criticizing Jesus, where we began looking at the criticisms Jesus faced during his ministry…what each criticism reveals about Jesus’s character, priorities, authority, and mission. Last week, we examined our propensity to gravitate towards rules and regulations that tend to rob our Joy. Jesus came to set us free from religious legalism because Life with...

In this five-week series we will look at the criticisms Jesus faced during his ministry. What does each criticism reveal about Jesus’s character, priorities, authority, and mission? In this installment, we remember Life with Christ is a life of joy. Following Jesus is such a new way of life that the old models don’t fit - and this is cause for celebration!

Jesus gave his followers a charge to go out into the world and be his witnesses. This one-week message shows the disciples did just that, and encourages us to take the message of Jesus’s resurrection into our community.

Throughout history, human beings have told stories to teach morals, heritage, and rules. Stories like “The Three Little Pigs” and the “Tortoise and the Hare” have taught us about responsibility, persistence, pride, and consequences to foolishness. The New Testament presents a type of oral communication that Jesus used in his teachings: parables. We need parables because we struggle to listen. We c...

We’ve been exploring some unlikely people that became significant in God’s story throughout history. Tonight, Gideon the timid, who was skeptical of God’s call. Even though Gideon was skeptical of God and of himself, God was faithful and used Gideon to save his people. In this final installment of this series, we will trust God’s power rather than cowering in fear or trusting our own strength. Ins...

We are in the middle of a series called, “Yes, You!” We’ve been going through stories of unlikely people that God used to do big things through in order to bring His Kingdom here on earth as it is in Heaven.  David the small, Rahab the shady, and this week…John Mark the immature screw up. We’ll finish up next week with Gideon the timid. John Mark…also called Mark, was a figure in the early ch...

We’re taking a month to explore the lives of a few unlikely people whom God used to do amazing things. Through the stories of David, Rahab, John Mark, and Gideon, we will see that God uses the small, the outsider, those behind the scenes, and the timid to do amazing things in the world. Tonight, we are challenged to never underestimate how God utilizes the outsider. The story of Rahab and Jericho...

We’re going to take the next month to explore the lives of a few unlikely people whom God used to do amazing things. Through the stories of David, Rahab, John Mark, and Gideon, we will see that God uses the small, the outsider, those behind the scenes, and the timid to do amazing things in the world. And that also includes you! Who me you ask? Yes, You! The story of David and Goliath reveals that...

We’ve been telling stories for the past three weeks…Biblical stories and connecting the dots from them to stories in our community of believers. So far we’ve learned from these stories: To Follow Jesus with our whole heart. Where is God calling you to sacrificially serve Him? Internationally, Domestically, Work Place, Financially… That Healing happens when Jesus is near. What do you want God to do...

Look for where God is at work and join God there .  Often when we read the story of Jesus feeding the multitudes by multiplying five loaves of bread and two fish, we focus on the fact that Jesus used a small boy’s generosity as the starting point of a miracle. This is true, of course. However, Andrew’s participation in the miracle is often overlooked. After a short conversation with Philip th...

Profound healings take place when Jesus is near. We can pray for healing and be God’s agents of healing in our society. If you want to be healed without you risking something, it’ll never be enough. Healing happens when Jesus is near. And Jesus is here. Are you ready to finally trust him? What do you want Jesus to do?

Last week we finished up our series we called, “What’s in it for me?” with the challenge to give the Lord our whole heart by reorienting our expectation for God to bend our way and instead, soften and make ourselves pliable for God to bend us God’s way by ways of: Allowing Scripture to read US Prayer – syncing up with the Lord’s desires Prioritizing our finances God’s Way Today we continue discove...

Over the past three weeks we’ve been checking our “why.” Why do we do what we do? What is our motivation? In a cultural climate that has taught us for years to ask, “What’s in it for me?” We’ve been fighting this norm which ends in destruction…especially relationships…most importantly, our relationship with God. To get our priorities in order, we have begun addressing our “why” in our relationship...

Have you ever been guilty of thinking you are the one in charge as you read Scripture? Have you ever read Scripture (or anything else for that matter), reached the end, and asked yourself, “What did I just read?” Sometimes we rush. We aren’t interested. We seek what we want to hear, so we skim. Or we push through Leviticus and try not to fall asleep. Bible study can be misunderstood as a personal...

What’s in it for me? We live in a consumer-oriented culture that has trained us to ask this. In life we want a return on the things we do. But in our relationship with God, this can lead to spiritual disciplines being treated as transactional. In this installment, we seek God, not to check off a task on a list but to experience knowing him. We can mature as believers and serve God because we love...

Christians will fail us, but we must persevere in love, knowing that we have failed too. Christ followers forgive when other Christians fail us. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legacychurchtx/ Join us in person: https://legacychurchhutto.com

Failure does not define the Christian life. It is such a personal thing, that we tend to personalize our mistakes and believe in our hearts that we are a failure. This is not what God has in mind for any of us. We persevere despite failure as we depend on God to change us. We will not let failure define us but will persevere forward in our walk with Christ. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leg...

In order to grow, we must acknowledge our failures. We will not pretend we have it all together. After all, the world can see our brokenness. We will find safe people to be real with about our failures. We are, after all, better together. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legacychurchtx/ Join us in person: https://legacychurchhutto.com

Working out our salvation is a series of conversion experiences which are important in us being made holy. Our lives are a series of successes and failures that, as God draws us to Himself, lead to maturity and completeness.

Easter Sunday put on display the resurrection as God’s work of new creation and kingdom come here on Earth. And the resurrection changes everything. Jesus is risen, therefore his followers have a new job to do. And what is that new job? To bring the life of heaven in actual, physical, earthly reality. Jesus’ resurrection is the beginning of God’s new project, not to snatch people away from earth t...

Key Truth: Lament and repentance bring an anticipation for God’s work of grace and holiness to begin in our lives. Key Verse: Philippians 1:3–7 When we lament and repent of both personal and corporate sins, we can anticipate not only the sorrow but the experience of forgiveness and our dependence on God. We can anticipate Christ’s saving work and new life in him. In this installment, we will antic...
