In Matthew 11:28 Jesus offers us all an invitation we would do well to consider. Jesus says... Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. In today's message, THE REST OF THE GOSPEL STORY , we will examine three faulty beliefs that I fear many Christians have bought into. The problem is, these beliefs lead us away from the invitation of Jesus to come and rest .  I...

FORGIVENESS ! How do you feel about forgiveness? Do you find it challenging, intimidating, necessary? Is there someone you know you need to forgive yet you struggle to do so? The Bible tells us that we should for give others, as Christ has forgiven us? Now that seems like some radical forgiveness! Maybe scary… even impossible! But WHAT IF you really wanted to forgive like Jesus. Let’s talk about i...

I wonder if you had one word to describe the present status of your heart, what word would you use? Full … Overjoyed … Broken … Scared … maybe even Jealous ? If you had ONE word what would THAT word be? This  is the first message in a new series of messages, where we are looking at out heart. A SPIRITUAL EKG: DISCOVERING THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART . In this series you might be surprised to see...

We are in week 7 of our series on THE POWER OF WORSHIP! This morning, I want to talk about being consumed with HOPE! I want to talk about how our WORSHIP can feed our HOPE! How we can have HOPE in a world of DESPAIR! If you recall we said that lifestyle worship stands on two legs. TRUST and GRATITUDE. We also said that HOPE is one of the offspring of TRUST! In other words wherever we PLACE our tru...

So here is where I want us to start this morning! This is going to be a great message that intersects our series on worship with the reality of Labor Day weekend. I want to start here, with these 6 reasons to be motivated in your work. All of those are noble reasons to find meaning in your work. There is nothing wrong with them. My contention up front though, is what if as believers we identified...

I wonder as you look back over your life can you recall any mountaintop experiences that you have had? Any countries you visited, vacations you took, mountains you conquered, moments you remember when you had an emotional high. The thing as Christians, we always want to be looking for MORE than simply an emotional high. We want to have more than an emotional experiences, we want to have spiritual...

We are in week four of series… THE POWER OF WORSHIP. Where we are looming at the power of worship to help us Live in the Moment and Transform Today. In this series we are discovering how our POWERFUL worship can be. The thing is, if worship is THAT powerful and it is, Than we can be sure that Satan will attack our worship! Today then, I want us to talk about something we need to take note of. I wa...

If we are going to live in the moment and transform today, then there will be times when we will have to be deliberate, even obstinate in our worship! This is week three of our current series, THE POWER OF WORSHIP! In this series, we are examining just how powerful worship can be! DELIBERATE WORSHIP is a key component of POWERFUL WORSHIP!

This morning I would like to give us all a variation on that story. While the advice is great, and getting our focus looking up is What we all want to do, what if we expressed the sentiment like this. Instead of… • Focusing on WORKING what if we focused on WORSHIPPING! • Focusing on SUCCEEDING what if we focused on WORSHIPPING! • Focusing on ACHIEVING what if we focused on WORSHIPPING! • Focusing...

 I want us in this series, to consider the power worship has in our life! So many  of the issues we face and that we struggle with could be resolved if we just  understood the POWER of worship and had our worship centered in the right place. 

This morning we are going to bring this series of sermons to a close. For the past 12 weeks we have been looking at what it means to be EASTER PEOPLE: People who don’t just celebrate Easter one day out of the year but EVERY day of the year! People who are always living in the Reality of the  Resurrection! Just as John will always be marked by his physical resurrection we should be marked by o...

There is a theological Truth Intended to influence my practical reality! There is a theological Truth, in this case, Christ has set us free. This theological truth is supposed to then in influence our practical reality. Meaning we should live as if we are free! Does your life reflect the reality that you are free? I am DEAD to sin so I should consider myself DEAD TO SIN! There is NO CONDEMNATION s...

Today, and we are getting close to winding up this series on being Easter People, a people of the Resurrection, but today I want to talk about LIVING IN FREEDOM! What does it LOOK LIKE to live in freedom? What does it MEAN to live in freedom? Are we or are we not, living a life of freedom.

You might ask how can someone be saved and have no spiritual interest? It simply goes back to what we have talked about the last couple of messages about where we set our mind. Is it set on the spirit or on the flesh? That’s what it really comes down to. It comes down to how we think. We can be a brand new creation in Christ but if we are always thinking like the old man, eventually we will lose s...

This morning we are going to bring three thoughts together to teach us all a powerful lesson. We are going to talk about ABUNDANT LIFE, which we all want to experience. Our TRUST IN GOD, which is key to abundant life and SERVANTHOOD where we can express our trust in God. The thief, Satan, came 6,000 years ago to the Garden of Eden and stole Adam and Eve’s identity in Christ and at the same time, b...

We have been talking for a few weeks now about what it means to be EASTER PEOPLE, who celebrate and live the resurrection EVERYDAY of the year, and not only ONE DAY of the year. The past few weeks specifically we have been looking at how the power of the resurrection and our identity in Christ works. It is one thing to use these as catch phrases, it is another when they are a practical theology th...

This morning though I want to go deeper and I want to answer the question, WHO AM I,  REALLY! I can say that my identity is in Christ, but WHAT does that really mean? As I have said before, everyone today seems to want to talk about this issue, but I wonder, is the idea of…MY IDENTITY IN CHRIST

We are in the Series EASTER PEOPLE,  where we  are looking  at how we are to live in the reality of resurrection not just for ONE day Easter, but EVERY day!  We talked last week about responding to the Gospel and how EVERY TIME we respond to the Gospel it is Good News all over again.  We know our salvation is Good News.  We know the assurance of eternal life and the r...

I wonder this morning how you came to faith in Christ? I wonder what your spiritual journey to Christ looked like? The truth is, while the journey looks different for all of us, there is still only ONE GOSPEL that begs of us all the SAME RESPONSE. In fact the Gospel we respond to today is the exact same Gospel they responded to 2000 years ago. The Gospel that exploded shortly after the resurrectio...

This morning I want to talk with you about a mother in the Bible that we could title the Faithful Mother.  WHO am I talking about? I will identify her in a moment. As we watch that  video, we have to be careful we are not left with the misconception that some mothers are more important than others, because that simply is NOT true. The truth is, as we will see this morning, there really a...

We are in week two of our latest series, EASTER PEOPLE, where we are considering what it looks like to live in the reality of the Resurrection everyday. Easter as we said, is not just A DAY but it is A WAY of life! Today is part 2 of the sermon we started last week, THE EASTER REVOLUTION. We are asking the question, How did we get from the 500 + witnesses of the Resurrected Christ [in I Corinthian...

You know it is a bit ironic because the disciples had been looking for Jesus to lead a revolution and free Israel from Roman rule. When Jesus died they thought the revolution had died with Him. Little did they know that they revolution hadn’t ended it was just getting started. Oh and yes it would be the revolution they never saw coming. It didn’t free Israel from Rome, it freed mankind from Death,...

Have you ever looked into a mirror at yourself and simply felt dead inside? Now I get that is a very personal question and you don’t have to answer it. Here is the thing, I will answer it. I can admit that yes there have been times in life when I have felt dead inside. In fact I’m not even sure if I can remember the circumstances, just that I have been there. To be honest I’m guessing we all have...
