Paul resolves the tension between faith and works by reminding us that our effort to live a holy life is only possible because God is already powerfully at work within our hearts.

INTRODUCTION Every one of us lives by a clock, but God works by seasons. Your watch may say January… but heaven may be saying, “Now.” Some moments in life are ordinary, but some moments are appointed. You may not feel different today. You may not look different today. But that does not mean this ...read more
Scripture: Esther 4:1-14, Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
Denomination: Assembly Of God
The God who saved you is the God who shapes you. The Christ who redeemed you is the Christ who renews you. The Spirit who sealed you is the Spirit who strengthens you. Salvation is received in a moment. Salvation is revealed over a lifetime.
BIG IDEA: SALVATION IS RECEIVED IN A MOMENT BUT REVEALED OVER A LIFETIME. OPENING ILLUSTRATION: THE HOUSE AND THE HOME Imagine someone giving you a fully paid-for house. The deed is in your name. You didn’t earn it. You didn’t negotiate for it. You simply received it. But receiving a house is not ...read more

Scripture: Colossians 2:6-10

Good morning, friends. Settle your hearts for a moment and breathe this in: God knows your name, sees your needs, and has spoken a word over your life that outlasts every label the world tries to stick on you. When life feels loud and your identity feels blurry, Peter hands us a clear, bright ...read more
Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9
Topics: Called Out, Set Apart
Pastors feed the young the milk, but serve up the meat even if it makes some folks choke.
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. Many in the Church do not taste of the milk because they are not saved. They are there for many reasons, but not to grow from ...read more
Scripture: 1 Peter 3:2-3, Hebrews 5:11-14, 1 Corinthians 3:1-2
The whole earth maybe covered in darkness but who says you have to be wrapped in the darkness. Get up and pray, get up and study the Word, get into real fellowship with the Light and God’s sunrise glory will cover you.

Apathy melts when wounded believers encounter the gentle, pursuing love of Jesus—and a church that mirrors His compassion becomes a place where hearts burn again.
I want to talk to you this morning about something that sits quietly in the corners of our churches. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t slam doors. It doesn’t usually make the headlines in church board minutes. But it drains the life out of congregations and breaks the heart of Jesus. I want to talk ...read more

Scripture: Mark 4:18-19
The arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane shows us what sin is like: it is ordinary, it is out of place, it is pervasive. Jesus is the master gardener who can eradicate our "weeds".
No gardener wants weeds in his garden. But every gardener has them. Weeds are inevitable. Weeds cannot be avoided. So the question is, what will the gardener do to rid his garden of the weeds? I love to walk around other people’s gardens. In other people’s gardens I don’t feel guilty about ...read more

Scripture: Matthew 13:3-9
In an age when the church is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the daily life of people, when the message of the church seems to increasingly fall on deaf ears, and when the truth is mocked as meaningless and unattainable, Jesus speaks to us these words
Seeds that Survive Pt 4 – Tending the Ground Luke 8:4-15 We’ve talked about Wayside hearts that need the work of the plow and the rain to soften them so that the Word takes root. We’ve talked about Rocky hearts that need determination to put down deeper roots. Today we come to ...read more
