One of the reasons we lack generosity as a people of God is because we are at war with a culture that is materialistic and self-indulgent. To consider giving to the kingdom of God seems like a waste of our wealth in light of what can be achieved in the here and now. But what does Jesus and the Bible say about holding riches in this age with this type of heart? Why does it matter? Let's dive in.

"From Death to Life," is based on the remarkable account of the resurrection of Lazarus as recounted in John 11:38-46. This event was one of the most incredible miracles that Jesus performed, aside from his own resurrection. Through this story, we witness how God has the power to raise people from the dead, from beginning to end, it is His sovereign hand at work, awakening us to a new life with Him.
As spiritual leaders, there is a responsibility to guide God's people into a closer relationship with Him. However, what happens when leaders fail in this responsibility? In this passage, we see the key leaders in Israel plotting to kill Jesus, displaying their great propensity to push Christ out of the center of God's plan.
In the following sermon, we'll explore how Jesus' empathy and compassion for sinners can bring comfort and hope to our own struggles. By examining his humanity on display in John's Gospel, we can see how he identifies with our emotions and experiences, especially in times of grief and loss. In John 11:28-37, we witness Jesus weeping with those who are mourning, demonstrating his solidarity with us in our pain. This passage reminds us that we have a God who not only understands our struggles but is also faithful to listen to our prayers and comfort us in our times of need.

In the following sermon, we find Jesus comforting his beloved friends, by pointing to the hope of the resurrection and eternal life found in him alone. While we long and await the bodily resurrection, eternal life is already available here today, by the power of his Spirit. This is the hope for all those on this side of calvary and all those experiencing grief in this hour.

Can you recall the last time you were sick? The discomfort and anxiety over its consequences can easily dishearten us. In John 11:1-6, Jesus teaches his disciples that God permits us to experience periods of illness, tribulations, and pain for the Glory of God and His Son. While God may take His time in responding our prayers, He cultivates within us a spirit of patience during the most intense trials. Listen to the following message offering hope to those waiting for God to answer in their distress. https://www.garwoodchurch.org/
In John 10:31-42, the Pharisees' efforts to stone Jesus for claiming divinity are met with a powerful defense from Jesus. He cites his miracles and the law as evidence of his divine nature, highlighting the unity between himself and the Father. This passage provides a model for believers in defending the divinity of Christ and challenges skeptics to encounter Jesus on his terms. https://www.garwoodchurch.org/
Discipleship is not optional for followers of Jesus. But how do start a discipleship mission here, right where we live. The following sermon explores foundational practices of disciples with a passion of advancing the great commission. https://www.garwoodchurch.org/
In the following sermon, we delve into the life of George Mueller, a man who truly exemplified the power of prayer through his unwavering faith and persistence before his heavenly Father. A.T. Pierson once said of Mueller, 'George Mueller believed, and because he believed, prayed; and praying, expected; and expecting, received.' We'll examine how Muller's faith and dedication to prayer can inspire our own practices of prayer and help us grow in faith as we pray in our everyday life.
Although there are numerous tools available to aid in our Bible reading, it is important to remember that true engagement with the text involves not just "hearing" the words, but also embracing a lifestyle of active participation in the Word. Unfortunately, we often treat the Bible as mere information in our minds, which is why after sometimes, it becomes dull and repetitive in our hearts. Check out the following sermon which outlines three fundamental, yet often overlooked principles for daily Bible engagement.
On the surface, spiritual disciplines appear to be nothing more than mundane behaviors or practices. However, it becomes clear that these disciplines are actually centered on the formation of ourselves as disciples of Jesus. Practices are formational tools towards Christlikeness. So then, what about fasting? The following sermon offers the occasions for fasting in the OT, as well as, the manner and motive Jesus gave his disciples in Matthew 9. Listen and start your journey in spiritual practices today.
