Linwood Covenant Church Podcast

This week we are finishing out the book of Romans-considering how love should shape and define our relationships with one another. We will specifically consider Paul’s call to love our enemies, and hold together as a community of faith even when we disagree.

Romans 12:1-2 | After Paul has helped us see who Jesus is and what Jesus has done, He encourages us to respond the right way!

God’s ways are mysterious. In Romans 9 thru 11 Paul reminds us that one thing we can be certain of is that God desires to be merciful to all.

In this part of our "Good News" series, we delve into the heart of Romans 5-8, exploring the profound themes of grace, faith, and life in the Spirit. This sermon unfolds the transformative journey from justification through faith to living a victorious life, guided by the Spirit and anchored in God's unwavering love.

Every great story starts with bad news and ends with the good news! Romans Chapters 1 thru 4 does the same. This is our story and Jesus is the rescuer!

*NEW SERIES: “GOOD NEWS”* Come with us on a journey to understand what Paul has to say to the church in Rome!

In this sermon, we explore the enduring comfort and presence of "Emmanuel: God with us" through the challenges and uncertainties of life, drawing upon the powerful message of hope found in 2 Corinthians 1:3-7. We examine how the Christmas story extends beyond the holiday season to offer us continuous strength and reassurance in our daily lives.

In order to appropriately and adequately respond to God we have to watch carefully and listen closely to who God is and what He is doing in our life and in our midst.

Jesus came to a world that didn’t have room for Him and He was faithful to make room for the people of the world.

Mary’s understanding of God’s generosity to her caused her to listen to God and willingly make room for an inconvenient miracle.

Jesus shows us the way and Jesus expects us to follow His way. This week we look at the great lengths Jesus went too in order to open the door to life with God for us and how we can open the door for others.

NEW SERMON SERIES - Decking The Halls: Preparing to share our room at the inn.  The Bible starts with grace. Have you ever stopped to marvel at the improbable fact that you are alive. Our gratitude is born from a place of wonder that God has created this space for us, women and men made in His image.

How Peter goes from being ashamed of the the way of Jesus to a passionate follower of the way of Jesus.

What we can learn about following Jesus from the life of Judas Iscariot.

Jesus forces Peter and a wealthy young man to wrestle with the motives of thier actions. Are we motivated out of love or from the ancient idea of doing what God wants to get what we want?

Peter gets a clearer glimpse of who Jesus actually is. We are challenged to live in the tension of the good news that God is both Holy and merciful.

Following Peter as he rightly discerns who Jesus is but he struggles to understand where Jesus is going.

Sermon from October 15th Sunday Service

This week, we continue into our Follow Me series.

Barnabas looks a whole lot like Jesus! And no wonder, it is Jesus who has made him who he is, someone of godly character. And it's knowing Jesus and following Him that will make you someone of character.

This Sunday we continue in our Follow Me series by asking the challenging question, "Do we want Jesus or do we want things from Jesus?"

Our greatest witness to the world is to be a calm, joyful, confident, and hopeful presence in a world that is angry, anxious, fearful, and prone to despair. Today we are going to discuss some practical ways that this way of living might become a reality.

Our goal as Christ followers is to follow well, but so often we find ourselves following from the front and when we do so we quickly get off track.
