Dale Crawford teaches on Galatians 5:13-26. Freedom is ultimately found in Jesus Christ, but we must not use our freedom as an opportunity for sin. Rather, the Holy Spirit leads us to serve one another in love, which protects against legalism and license to sin in the church body.
Christian Nimmo teaches on the advent of joy. We must live daily with a recognition of God's grace. As we do that, we fortify our mind by meditating on things that are excellent and praiseworthy.
We must continue to find our identity in what God's Word says to us. If we look to our performance to define us, then we will begin to identify as a success or failure based on arbitrary standards.
Joshua Dostal teaches on the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-31). Like the younger son, the pursuit of sin ultimately leads to a self-worth based on failure. We believe the lie that we are failures and that we are no longer children of God. Like the older son, the pursuit of hard work can lead to a self-worth based on obedience and servanthood. Both mindsets are wrong because we are not grounded in our identity as sons and daughters of God!
Joshua Dostal teaches on John 19. Because of the joy set before Him, Jesus thought nothing of the beating, ridicule, and mocking of the soldiers and people. He was not shamed by it because He knew what it would accomplish: that we might be redeemed to God.
Joshua Dostal teaches on the weight of shame and reminds the church that there is no longer condemnation for believers (Romans 8:1-15).
Joshua Dostal teaches on John 18:28-40. Jesus' kingdom is not of this world. How do we choose to live out of this reality? Do we humbly submit, or do we allow social constructs to influence us?
Joshua Dostal teaches on John 17: 1-11. We glorify God in our unity as the body of Christ, but that unity is fractured when our homes, hobbies, and political preferences take precedence over Jesus.
Joshua Dostal teaches on John 15:26 - 16:15. Jesus has promised to give us the Holy Spirit, who will equip us to do the work of ministry until Jesus returns. Knowing this, we no longer need to strive to do things in our own strength.
Dale Crawford teaches on 1 Peter 1:1-13. With an active and vigilant mindset, we must set our hope fully on God's grace.
Joshua Dostal teaches on John 15:9-17. If we love Jesus, then we will obey His commands. If we obey His commands, then we have complete and full joy as God intended.
Joshua Dostal preaches on John 14:27-31. Our peace is not dependent on our earthly circumstances. It is anchored in Christ and dependent on our heavenly identity and mindset that we are no longer of this world.
Christian Nimmo exhorts the church to reflect on what they believe because our actions follow our beliefs.
Joshua Dostal teaches on John 14:4-11. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the only path to absolute life.
Joshua Dostal teaches on John 13:31-35. We as a church body are to love each other in the way Jesus modeled for us.
The resurrection is important because it shows Jesus coming into a new life, ascending to heaven, and opening the way for us to be adopted as children of God. Not only are we forgiven of our sins, but we are given a new life, a new heart, and a new identity in Jesus Christ.
