We have hope. Not a hope in something unknown as it may not come, but Paul's hope, just like the Jewish hope from the Old Testament, is a confidently assured outcome. It is a certainty. We are God's children adopted into his family, and because of that, we have hope in him that despite the suffering now, God's presence will overshadow and bring his glory to bear upon the pain. Leave a comment or prayer request and we would be happy to pray for or with you. If you are new to Life Church Utah, welcome! You are only a guest with us once, then you are family. We hope that you can feel right at home here. || We exist to lead the people of the valley to be more like Jesus ||

We are not obligated to live according to the old way of life, controlled by sin. But we do have a new reality in the Spirit - our lives turn toward Jesus, empowered by his Spirit to live a life that is true life. The spirit within you is empowering, loving, and fills with self-control, beyond your natural abilities - to put to death the misdeeds of the body! The enemy's upper hand in human nature is now a lost cause as we are filled and empowered by Christ!

If you wake up in the morning and think "this is going to be a bad day" what kind of day are you going to have? Unless someone interrupts your mindset, it's going to be a bad day. And the opposite can be true: Thinking "good day" can make you have a good day. Paul is pointing out the inability of the mindset of the flesh to please God at any level. In fact, the mindset of the flesh is death. It is the outflow of the unredeemed heart that reveals death, pain, hurt. But Paul points out another option. The outlook or mindset of the Spirit: brings life and brings peace. This mindset is the mindset that pleases God. Which mindset do you have?

There is a battle. Some days we feel it intensely. Other days it fades into the background a bit. When we look at the world around us, we see the battle raging some days and other days subdued. There is delight internally in all that God is, but when push comes to shove, we are shoved in the direction of self rather than divine.

We took a break from our Romans series a little over a month ago. So a little review, Paul is writing to a young church in Rome. In this church, there are different groups of believers: those that have Judaism as a foundation; and those that have no spiritual foundation other than the culture-religious cults of the Roman world. So, Paul must lay a picture of what it means to be a Christian in light of these realities.

Life Church Utah is all about leading the people of the valley to be more like Jesus. We invite you to be a part of what God is doing here in West Valley, in your home through Life Groups. Get your teens connected to Realife. Step into discipleship opportunities. When we have outreaches, don't wait to volunteer! We have such generous, loving, grounded people at Life Church. But don't let it stop with you! Let God use you, even this week. And let God use you when it really counts - leading others (AND yourself) to be more like Jesus!

God is the God of the impossible and will, in this Christmas season, reveal that the arrival of his promise, Jesus, can change the fabric of each of our lives! But it starts not fully formed, just a step of obedience and trust.

Jesus is the Arrival of the Promise. This is the start of our Christmas Series. Thank you for joining us!   We are in person or live on Facebook at 9:30 am and 11:00 am on Sundays. As well as, 7:00 pm on Wednesdays! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Podbean, and YouTube. Don't forget to subscribe and follow so that you can get notifications for when we go live.   Be radically generous by giving. We have many programs like Food Share and supporting Missionaries that are possible because of you! Thank you! https://lifechurchutah.ccbchurch.com/goto/giving

Romans 3 Hope does not disappoint!

Romans 3

God does not have to work at being faithful; He is faithful. He will not fail. Ever. He may not do things the way we want Him to do, but he is always faithful to His promises. Faithfulness is an essential part of who He is.

Romans 2

What does it mean to be Christian? This weekend, we are beginning to explore the reality of how our culture influences us, sometimes subtle and sometimes quite "in your face." The results of this? At times it turns our hearts inward and away from the source of true life, a relationship with God through Jesus. (Romans 1:18-25)

You may be here online today and believe you are in this boat that you are irredeemable, unforgivable, that your actions have taken you too far from God to ever have hope. But this is where Jesus is the point of Good News. God's power is at work. The same power that created everything, has the same power already reserved for you through His Love!

There is one miracle that we are focusing on for this message. This miracle is one that helps define our view of who God is as revealed in Jesus. This miracle is the only miracle story (outside of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ) that is recorded in all of the Gospels- Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John. When a story is shared over and over again, it gets into the culture of the family, organization, or the Church. It is foundational to how we interact with one another. This miracle story is truly life-changing. Thank YOU for hopping online with us. Leave a comment or prayer request and we would be happy to pray for or with you.

Thanks for checking out our podcast! Here we post our previous Sunday's message. You are free to download, share and listen to this message at any time. Kingdoms; our world is filled with them. Some of the kingdoms are personal in nature. (social media) "This is 'MY' kingdom and you aren't welcome here. I am always right and you must see the world my way." Other kingdoms are ideologies (social activism, politics, religion). Each of these kingdoms seek to assert influence over others. Our world is in a battle, there is no doubt. And in the midst of this battle stands Jesus. #ForTheValleys

From Jesus' own words: wait for the promise of the Father. You will receive power, you will witness the ends of the Earth. How God does this is the outpouring of the Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is the KEY to effectively bring the people who accomplish this revelation to our broken world. Thank you for being online with us.

When you give to Jesus what isn't enough, He takes it and does something unexpected. We would want Him to just "poof!" and it's all better. But He actually does something necessary. He reveals where our trust is by His actions. Are you fearful of what He will do? Or do you trust Him?   Thank you for joining us online! Please, like, comment, and share! #forthevalleys
