Having an attitude of gratitude rather than giving in to stinkin thinking can change your life.

Paul writes to the Galatians to set the record straight and declare once and for all, that the gospel of Jesus Christ has set us free. Although there were those who try to infringe, encroach and intrude upon that liberty, Paul declares, “we are free. By the blood and through the blood of Jesus alone, we are free.”

Discover how God uses life's pressures to produce perseverance, refine our faith, and shape us into the image of Christ. This isn't a sermon about pretending trials don't hurt. It's about finding hope in the heat of them because the same God who allowed the fire is walking through the fire with you also.

What does it look like to be a Spirit-empowered church? How do we move from individual faith to a shared life that reflects God's kingdom? As we explore this text, we'll see that true revival isn't just about stirring moments—it's about sustained devotion to Christ and one another, marked by repentance, obedience, and a love that turns the world upside down.

When believers do not dispel their doubts and disbeliefs then the body of Christ is quick to relinquish its hope, its expectation and its faith which is needed to live a life of victory. What then am I to do when I find myself overwhelmed by doubts and disbelief? What do I do when I am struggling to trust?

In the midst of all the accusations railed at Jesus while being crucified on a Roman cross, this was the sentiment of their abuse, “Where is God in all of this.”

Jesus responds with a message that would surprise Nicodemus—one so profound, it still speaks to us today.

The Sermon on the Mount is probably the best-known part of Jesus' teaching, yet perhaps it is the most misunderstood and arguably the least obeyed. However, this teaching is the nearest thing we have to a manifesto that Jesus ever uttered for it is His own description of what he wanted His followers to be and to do.

Perhaps one of the biggest questions we wrestle with is the meaning of life. We first ask why am I here? What is my purpose and my life really all about? But once we get into God's Word, we discover that our story is tied to a much larger story of redemption. And that is when we get a faithful perspective of who we are and what we are called to do.

Today is not just the chance to make some kind of religious fresh start, but rather toady we can seize upon this invitation to have new life in Jesus Christ.

Whoever is there among you of all His people?” That is to say, “Which of you are part of the faithful remnant?” In context, king Cyrus was asking, “Which individuals who claim to be God's people were willing to rise up and do the work of the Lord?” Today, I am asking the same question. “Who is the remnant? Who is willing to rise up and do the work of the Lord?”

God has specific seasons in which He takes His people through to prepare them for a greater purpose. God has specific seasons in which he leverages to shape His people. So how does God shape us? God is going to do something in you so He can ultimately do something through you.

The will of God is often regarded as one of the most profound pursuits of faith, but it must be understood that discovering God's will is not merely an intellectual exercise; it is a spiritual act rooted in trust. To discern God's will, we must first surrender our own will, relying not on our finite human understanding but on the infinite wisdom of the Lord. This process invites us to embrace faith as the foundation of every decision we make, intertwining trust with obedience as we seek to walk the path God has made clear for us.

David achieved much success in life even to the degree of reigning as king over Israel, he did so as a man that pursued after God's own heart. In other words, God is the hero of David's story and what we have recorded in David's triumphant tales of victory are the confessions of a small and finite man regarding the immeasurable, boundless and gigantic God.

The book of Ruth is better than any block buster hit. It has everything we want in a good story rolled up into one. It is God's love story strategically placed to extend a faithful perspective of the Lord's work in your life even when you believe He is far from you. So I want to invite you to come along on this journey with me and discover the power of redemption.

We are looking for deliverance from suffering, direction in life and a demonstration of power that affirms their security and instills peace in life.

God's purposes do not change, and His promises do not fail.

Moses failed to "uphold God as holy" meaning Moses failed to honor and obey God in a manner that reflects His sacredness and authority. And as a result, Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land.

its not about your religious performance for Him, it's about His faithful presence in you! That's the lesson of the tabernacle.

Forgiveness is a huge issue in life and it is worth noting that the need for forgiveness goes back to the very beginning of time and is still one of the most significant things we have to face today.

Unless we decide to break the pattern, our lives will continue moving in the wrong direction. We will live in a circle that never goes anywhere stuck in the same old repressive rut! This morning let's break that cycle by confronting this head on. Why? Because we cannot change what we do not confront. Today, we must confront some things together.

The Bible is the book that contains the whole story! The Bible starts with God and ends with God and we find ourselves somewhere in the middle. If we can understand how this story starts and who and what this story is ultimately about, than it can bring incredible meaning to our lives because we discover that we were created by someone bigger than us to be a part of a story larger than our own.

Mark 5:19 says, "Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how He has had mercy on you." The expression "go home to your friends" comes from one Greek word, oikos. Let's go public with our faith by taking Jesus to our world, our oikos.
