The Holy Spirit, Our Teacher
There’s nothing worse than trying to navigate a path to a destination and not knowing where to go. Scripture promises us that God would send his Spirit to teach and guide us through the trials of life. Yet, how many of us engage in relationship with the Holy Spirit. And what should we? Today Pastor Robin shows us the value of trusting the Holy Spirit as your teacher is the key to transformation in the Christian life.
Who are you Following? - Understanding What Discipleship Really Is | 1 Corinthians 1:10-17
Discipleship is more than a buzzword within the Church, and yet a focus on the topic comes and goes with the tide. That's because we have misunderstood what is the key part of discipleship, understanding who you are following. In this passage, Pastor Ross compares what the Corinthians were doing with what much of the Church has done today in following people and various teachers, instead of THE Teacher.
How to Reign in Life | Romans 5:17
Jesus promises us peace, joy, security, freedom, and love… so why do we so rarely experience those things in our day to day life? Romans chapter 5 and verse 17 holds the key. In this sermon, learn how “reigning in life” doesn’t look like what we assume it does. Even better, discover how the things God offers us are much more than we could ask or imagine… and we have the freedom to say YES and accept them.
Learn how to Hear from God | Genesis 5
Like Enoch, walking with God today is to be the norm for the Christian. But to walk with God means that we must learn to hear from God. Pastor Ross teaches how we can learn and discern the voice of God as He speaks to us today.
Enoch Walked with God | Genesis 5
Genesis 5 is not just a list of names in a family tree. It is a list of generations that connects Adam to Noah. And in the middle of that list is a unique character, Enoch. Enoch walked with God until God took Him up to Heaven, having found Enoch to be pleasing in His eyes. What does that mean for us thousands of years later? Pastor Ross explains how we can walk WITH God today.
How to Crucify the Flesh | Galatians 5:24-25
Victory over sin and temptation is the birthright of every believer because of what Jesus has done on the cross. The question for each person becomes, will we trust that truth, or will we want get sucked into the lies of the flesh.
The Deeds of the Flesh vs the Fruit of the Spirit | Galatians 5:19-23
Talking about SIN and what it looks like is not popular. But yet, God warns us about sin and the damages sin causes many times in His Scripture. In Galatians 5, the Apostle Paul gives us a list of what sin looks like to help us recognize it in our lives, as well as what it looks like when Jesus is living in us.
The Reason we Sin and The Battle Within | Galatians 5:16-18
Freedom in Christ can feel scary to some. If we don’t have the Law, what will keep us from sinning and living a life of selfish pursuits? Paul offers a simple wanting and command as a response. Rather than abusing our freedom and allowing the flesh to bring misery and destruction into our lives and to those around us, we get to use our freedom as an opportunity to serve one another in the love of God.
Jesus, Our Living Hope | John 5:1-17
Muslims and Jews have very little issues with Jesus as a teacher or prophet but they deny His resurrection - that the hope we have is a living hope in the person of Jesus Christ. We have have this living hope inside us but do we ‘live’ like we do? We often don’t because of distractions. John 5: 1-17 details the distractions of the enemy that deny us the vision of Jesus Our Living Hope.
Living with Expectancy | Acts 3:1-10
There is a season for routines, procedures, safety and predictability but there is no life in ‘them’. There is only life and power found in a Person - in the Person of Jesus Christ. As those who are in Christ - we haven’t been made subject to rules of living but we have been made alive to God in everything we do, think and say. This lends itself to unpredictability, foiled routines, subsequent danger at times but most importantly joy. Pastor Robin explains in today’s message how Acts 3:1-10 illustrates a life lived and led expectant of a good God.
