Orchard Community Church Sunday Morning Messages

As people of faith, we are not of this world but made for something more. Because of this, the way we view and understand this world is important. As followers of Jesus, we're called to see the world through the lens of our faith, not through the lenses or filters of this world. Orchard Community Church 8180 Telephone Rd Ventura CA 93004 www.

Today self-focused faith is common. Many think only or primarily about their faith journey and relationship with God. Yet, the Christian faith, by definition, is to be lived with others and for others. Orchard Community Church 8180 Telephone Rd Ventura CA 93004 www.

For different reasons, many people only give God part of their lives. They have certain times, places, or "compartments" where God is welcomed and others where He is not, but God wants the whole of our lives, all that we are, and all that we do.

We often think of ourselves as the master of our destiny, but as people of faith, the goal of our lives is not to live this life according to our own plan but instead to live into the plan God has for us.

Many people today think of themselves as having divinity within them or that potential before them. Without going that far, others think of themselves as the center of the universe, consciously or unconsciously. Yet, in scripture, we see a fundamental line between God the creator and the creation, of which we're apart. We're not God or divine, and it's only when we understand these...

God calls us to love ourselves, not in a prideful or arrogant way, but by seeing ourselves more and more as He does. Orchard Community Church 8180 Telephone Rd Ventura CA 93004 www. OrchardVentura.org Contact us at  Info@OrchardVentura.org Orchard's Streaming and Song Select CCLI# 160190

God calls us to love others not only for their sake and because it pleases Him but also for our own sake because loving others makes the world a better place and us better people .

We are called to love God, not because God needs our love; God doesn’t need anything, but because God made us for love and because loving Him changes our lives for the better.

The kind of love (agape) that God has for us and calls us to have for Him and others is a different kind of love than we usually see in this world.

A good portion of Jesus' teaching in the weeks before his arrest and crucifixion – and again during the weeks between his resurrection and ascension – was focused on telling his closest followers that it was for their own good that he would leave them. But, it seems, the disciples didn't buy it. Then the Day of Pentecost changed everything for them, and for us. Orchard Community Church 8...

We are made perfect by Jesus' greater, once and for all, sacrifice on the cross because it took away all our sins forever. Because of this, we never run out of God's grace.

Hebrews 9:1-28 Blood symbolizes life, and forgiveness of sin requires the shedding of blood. Animal sacrifices simply weren't good enough.

On that first Easter morning, Jesus' followers learned one more amazing thing about who He is. He is our risen Lord. The tomb was empty, the angel proclaimed it, Jesus had said it about himself, but they only truly understood it through their personal experience with Him.

Palm Sunday was the one day in Jesus' life that the crowds seemed to have a sense of who He was, and yet even then, there was confusion. So, with Easter just one week away, who do we say Jesus is? And do we live like we believe He is who we say He is? Orchard Community Church 8180 Telephone Rd Ventura CA 93004 www. OrchardVentura.org Contact us at  Info@OrchardVentura.org Orchard's Strea...

Many people in Jesus' time asked who He was. Some called Him the "Son of God." But what does this mean? It describes the special relationship between Him and God, the fact that Jesus is God in the flesh.  Orchard Community Church 8180 Telephone Rd Ventura CA 93004 www.
