Series : Foretold Text : Isaiah 61:1-7 Isaiah's influence on Jesus and on his mother Mary is evident in today's passage.

* We had some recording issues, so the audio quality is not as it usually is. Sorry for any inconvenience. Series : Foretold Text : Isaiah 42, 49, 50, 53 Today we learn about this mysterious character in Isaiah called "The Servant." This is who Israel was supposed to be.

Series : FORETOLD Text : ISAIAH 7 & 9 Today we began our Christmas series "Foretold" by looking at the passages in Isaiah telling about God's rescue plan for his people. That great rescue plan begins not with a new warrior, not with a new general, not with a great military leader, but with a baby. This baby signals God's presence with his people, no matter what. tulipstreet.com

On this Sunday before Thanksgiving, we had a chance to hear three amazing stories of protection, healing, and redemption from members of our congregation - Shannon Baxter, Aubrianna Colwell, and Craig Stewart.

Series : Built Different Text : Matthew 7:28-29 This week we wrap up the year-long journey through the Sermon on the Mount. We read the entire sermon in one sitting and then think about what it means to live in the Kingdom of Heaven with Jesus Christ as our one true King. tulipstreet.com

Series : Built Different Text : Matthew 7:24-27 This week Darrin Chastain brings a message about what it truly means to follow Christ. It's not enough to just say we believe. We have to act in faith and let that belief guide us in following the Way of Christ. Only then will we be ready to bear the storms that come our way. tulipstreet.com

This week Lucas Johnson brings a message from the book of Ecclesiastes about our search for meaning. We look to so many aspects of life to find our purpose or make meaning. But as Ecclesiastes affirms, real life is not found in the pursuit of wisdom, wealth, or work. It's only found in a life devoted to God. tulipstreet.com

Series : Built Different Text : Matthew 7:13-23 The church must not be afraid to have honest conversations about abusive, toxic, manipulative, or corrupt leadership. It's a sad reality that Jesus warned us about from the start. There will be people who try to take advantage of God's people. We must be aware of the dangers, and we must also do some self-reflection. tulipstreet.com/nextsteps

Series : Built Different Text : Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus offers a choice. We can follow him on the narrow path, or go with the crowd on the broad, easy road. Life is full of choices, some big, some little. But following Jesus is an every day choice for his disciples. Keep your eyes on him, and know that you will never walk this path alone. tulipstreet.com

Series: Built Different Text: Matthew 7:12 Jesus summarizes the entire Bible in one simple command - whatever you want others to do with you, do also to them. This is more than just good advice, it's the true heart of Scripture. Jesus is clear that how we treat others is how we treat God and vice versa. tulipstreet.com

Series: Built Different Text: Matthew 7:7-11 We often are hesitant or even fearful to ask for what we need or want in life, whether it's from one another or from God. But relationships are built in the ASK. Today we look at three reasons we may not ask for help, and then we will work to build confidence by challenging those beliefs. tulipstreet.com

Series : Built Different Text : Matthew 7:1-6 When people met Jesus, they left changed. They knew they were loved, accepted, and welcomed. So what happened? Why do people frequently view Christians as hypocritical and judgmental? I think the problem is undiagnosed Plank-Eye Syndrome. tulipstreet.com

Series : Unburdened Text : Matthew 6:25-34 No matter how hard we try, we cannot control the future. We may do a lot of things to try and prepare for the future, but in the end it might all be for nothing. That's why Jesus tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. We don't have to live in fear of the future, because we know the One who holds it in his hands. tulipstre...

Series: Living Unburdened Text: Matthew 6:24 Jesus states his case plain and clear: You must choose. You cannot serve God and Mammon. Jesus speaks of Mammon as a rival god, vying for our attention and devotion. We are all too often seduced into loving and worshiping wealth, possessions, and anything else which we trust in more than God. The primary way of combating the allure of Mammon is the spir...

Series: Unburdened Text: Matthew 6:22-23 The world tries to convince us that we don't ever have enough. The first lie in the Garden was "God is holding out on you." Jesus uses the metaphor of our eyes to talk about our desires. Our eyes can get us into trouble because our desires can be so easily manipulated. Maybe it's time for an eye exam. tulipstreet.com

Series: Unburdened Text: Matthew 6:19-21 Jesus wants his followers to live a life unburdened by the things of this world. Our money, possessions, treasures - our STUFF - can get in the way of following Christ fully and freely. Having things is not wrong, but hold them loosely. tulipstreet.com

Text: Matthew 6:13 Series: HIDDEN: Discipleship Behind the Scenes This final request in the Lord's Prayer is challenging to translate because the word often rendered "temptation" can also mean "test" or "trial." I believe Jesus teaches us through his life, his teachings, and this prayer that trials and tests are sometimes necessary. But temptation is always option...

Text: Matthew 6:12, 14-15 Series: HIDDEN: Discipleship Behind the Scenes CS Lewis wisely stated, "Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has to practice it." Some of Jesus' most challenging teachings revolve around forgiveness, but it's so important that he includes forgiveness in the prayer he gives us. But it's not just our needing forgiveness from God, it&#3...

It's all about acknowledging God as our provider, confessing our bent toward worry...

TEXT : Matthew 6:10 SERIES : HIDDEN: Discipleship Behind the Scenes What does it mean to pray "Your Kingdom Come?" Jesus preached the good news of the Kingdom of Heaven. Is it still good news today? This line in the Lord's prayer is all about allegiances, priorities, and lifestyle. We don't just pray it. We live it. tulipstreet.com
