In this message, we will continue our series of foundational teachings from the book of Romans. In Romans 9-10, we see parallel accounts that speak to the role that God plays in salvation and the freedom of every man and woman to accept or reject Christ. Out of this study, we reveal four key things to remember when dealing with this emotionally charged subject:God knows with absolute certainty who will come to faith.Anyone can come to Christ who confesses and believes.My job is to share the gospel so that people may be saved.Never let election become a weapon.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

Once we receive the rescue of faith in our life, what's next? So many people have doubts about their salvation. In Romans 5, Paul gives us 5 reasons to have security in our salvation.1. There is peace where there was war.2. There is access where there was restriction.3. There is hope where there was despair.4. There is love where there was evil.5. There is relationship where there was separation.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

In the last message, we studied how man has intentionally rejected God and as a result, man is under the judgement of God. The most logical question is how we can be rescued. The only way to be rescued is to receive the righteousness of God - a right standing before the Lord in purity and holiness. In this message, we will study Romans 3:21-24 and learn three important things about the righteousness of God.1. Righteousness is not found in legalistic living.2. Righteousness is received through faith in Jesus. 3. Righteousness is not a reward but a gift.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

In this message, we will explore the way in which man has intentionally suppressed the truth of God and replaced it with a lie. This rejection of God will not go unpunished. In Romans 1, Paul writes that God "gave them up" to their sin and the consequences that ensued. This foundational teaching is important for two reasons:It reveals the ultimate problem that we face.It unveils our desperate need for rescue. This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

In this message, we will examine God's supreme power and authority in the continuing story of Paul's trial. There are three elements that we will study in Acts 25:1. God installs and influences governing leaders.2. God provides for and protects his people. 3. God upholds his plans and promises.There is no situation God cannot shift and no person he cannot reach.

As we begin the 24th chapter in the book of Acts, we'll take a look at three main characters and the actions they displayed.Tertullus: the accuserPaul: the defenderFelix: the delayerIn the midst of this episode, we can shine a light on Paul's action and learn from his example. We should be those who are ready to defend our belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ, doing it with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15).This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

No event or circumstance is outside the realm of God's control. He is in the business of taking what we view as negative and using it for His glory. That's certainly the case in Acts 23 where we'll see two things at play:1. The Enemy's Plan for Evil2. God's Plan for GoodJoseph reflected at the end of his life that what man meant for evil, God meant for good. The same can be true here in Acts. God's plans can never be thwarted!This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

In this message we will see how in the midst of a discouraging situation in Paul's life, God shows up. The great thing about what we see in this passage is that God's actions here are seen throughout Scripture and we can be sure that he will be the same God in our life today.1. The Lord who comforts us. 2. The Lord who fills us with courage.3. The Lord who lights our future.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

In this message, we'll take a look at Paul's defense before an angry mob and array of Roman soldiers. In the midst of accusations and assumptions, Paul shares his testimony. There were three elements to his testimony.1. His life before Christ.2. His surrender to Christ.3. His calling for Christ.This can serve as a outline for all of us to organize our testimony so that we will be able to share it with others, especially when faced with persecution.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

All churches have problems. It's true in our day and it was true in Paul's day during the time of Acts. Looking at Acts 21, we'll break our time into three sections:1. The Problem2. The Question3. The SolutionWe would be wise to remember Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9. He said, "I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings."This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

Paul's missionary journeys continue and as we open to Acts 21, we'll follow the timeline of events through three different sections: 1. When the journey gets complicated (1-3)2. When good people distract from greater things (4-6)3. When it will have a high or uncertain cost (7-16)Paul had a conviction to continue on despite the trouble that lie ahead. A conviction is Holy Spirit direction that always aligns with God's Word. While his heart was broken, he was ready to set an example of how to obey God's leading.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

We all orient our lives around what is most important to us. As we jump back into our LAUNCH series through the book of Acts, let's take a look at two ways Paul focus his gaze on making much of Jesus Christ:1. Paul's legacy for eternity2. Paul's plumbline for pastorsAre you living for the moment or for eternity? Paul's life was lived for eternity, which is why we see fruits of sacrifice, service and bold proclamation of the gospel. We can and should live this same way.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

We live in a world that chooses to remain bitter instead of offering pardon. But that is not what Jesus commanded.Our final message in The Butterfly Effect series is entitled Forgiveness. Let's think through two main ideas:1. An incalculable debt. An unforgettable forgiveness.2. The absurdity of unforgiveness. The prison of punishment. As we look to Jesus, we can hold fast to a few things. We must remember how much we've been forgiven. We should take inventory of a lack of forgiveness in our lives. We can choose to forgive even if others do not accept it.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

In this message, we study what Paul writes to the Philippians about the way that the church can achieve an unusual unity in the divided world we live in.1. Reject sinful, selfish impulses.2. Abandon the quest for personal glory.3. Marinate on the mindset of humility.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

The Christian life was never intended to be handled alone. We see examples in Scripture of community and togetherness. So, let's talk about the three people we need in our lives:1. Finding your "Paul"2. Finding your "Timothy"3. Finding your "Barnabus"Pastor Josh goes into great detail on all three of these characters, but suffice to say, we should each have someone in our lives who are more mature (Paul), less mature (Timothy) and supportive (Barnabus).This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

When Scripture uses the term "heart" it's referring to the very core of who we are, not just the place where emotions come from. As we explore the implications of guarding our hearts, we'll focus on three specific ways:1. Watch what you see2. Consider what you think about3. Filter what you hearUltimately we see in Scripture that the quality and impact of your life is determined by the condition of your heart.

How does your life's example create ripples into the hearts and lives of others? That's a question we'll answer with the truths of Scripture. We'll hone in on five characteristics:1. We are more than talk2. We are imitators of Christ3. We have enduring joy4. We are not who we used to be5. We anticipate the return of ChristOur lives are naturally an example of the thing(s) we're following.

Over the summer we'll study about how seemingly small acts and decisions that we make today can have a vast impact on our future and the future of others. We're calling this new series The Butterfly Effect.Today, we're looking at this biblical ideas of sowing and reaping. There are three main principles we'll discuss:1. We reap what we sow2. We reap more than we sow3. We reap later than we sowGalatians 6:8 says, "For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life."We must start planting seeds of the Spirit today so that in due season, we can reap the rewards from our Good Father!This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

Application abounds at the beginning of Acts 20. As Paul continues his missionary journey with the hope of providing encouragement to surrounding churches, we'll focus on five key ideas:1. The people gathered together on Sunday2. They used the space they had3. There was a biblical teaching by a sacrificial leader4. The people were undeterred by circumstances5. They enjoyed a meal togetherWe can also note the characteristics of exhortation, persistence and sacrifice from Paul and his group in the middle of this episode. It's important to recognize their aim of being available for the encouragement and benefit of these churches and the people within them.  All throughout the New Testament, we witness Paul's joy in providing gospel truth to those he visits.

In this message in Acts 19, we will talk about the similarity between idol worship then and now. In this passage, we will examine: 1. The undeniable attachment to idols.2. The unhinged reaction to Christianity.3. The uncommon emergence of civility.Our hope is that we will be better educated on the reality of idolatry today so that we can show people the worthlessness in following idols and the greatness in following Jesus.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

It all starts with a boldness about the truth of the Bible. That's what we find in this episode of Acts 19. Based off that statement, we'll hone in further on four core thoughts:1. Some will reject the truth2. The truth will be confirmed3. Selfish charlatans will emerge4. Repentance will rain downWe aim to be those who boldly speak the truth of God's Word at all times and in all places.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

We encounter an interesting dialogue at the beginning of Acts 19. As we study it, we'll attempt to think through three different questions:1. Are you a disciple who is simply following a religious path?2. Are you a disciple who appreciates the significance of the Holy Spirit?3. Are you a disciple of Jesus Christ?Jesus Christ is the only name on earth by which man can be saved.

We're excited to resume our Launch series, picking back up in Acts 18. We'll look at two heroes of the Christian faith: Paul and Apollos.Paul was a person of unrestricted purpose. We see in our text that his purpose drove him to discipline and drove him to be on the move.Apollos was a person of unquestioned passion. His passion was humbly anchored to the truth and drove him to powerfully proclaim in public. The purpose and passion of these two men were rooted in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ!This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

The call of Christ is serious for every single person. As we open to Luke 9, we'll examine two core thoughts:1. The call of Christ and the supremacy of Christ2. Difficulties present themselves but a decision must be madeWhen Jesus says, "Follow me," we acknowledge the first step in the Christian life is obedience to those two words. Often times, we add a stipulation to our pursuit of Christ.However, Jesus' call demands submission of our whole being. In the end, to be outside the Kingdom is to be without everything that gives life its fullness in the present and its hope in the future.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.

As we anchor our time in Scripture and reflect on the lyrics of O Praise the Name, a popular song from Hillsong, we will dwell on four truths:1. Jesus' second coming will lift the curse of sin2. Jesus' second coming is exciting if the Bible is of utmost importance3. Jesus' second coming will bring judgement for all people4. Jesus' second coming is preceded by an invitationPhilippians chapter two verse 10 says, "so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." Upon Christ's return, every person will bow to Him. The truth we all need to face is whether we will bow in salvation or condemnation.

As we anchor our time in Scripture and reflect on the lyrics of Ain't No Grave, a popular song from Bethel Music, we will challenge the trending perspective against the truth:Trending: We can live on because of who we are and what we've doneTruth: We can live on because of who Jesus is and what He's doneAs we trace the truth of Scriptures, we learn Jesus was supernaturally born of a virgin, performed unexplained miracles, taught like no one else in human history, willingly laid down his life for us on the cross, was put in a tomb and then rose from the dead. Faith in Jesus means that though our earthly body may die, we have a heavenly body that awaits as we stand in the presence of our Savior.This message was recorded live at Transform Church in Memphis, TN.
