A New Identity Series

Contributed by Scott Jewell on Apr 20, 2024

The world has led us to believe that we can identify ourselves to be anything we want to be, but how does God look at us?

My sermon illustration experts at McDonald’s were asking whether I had been including them in any of my sermons recently, so I decided to ask them this question. If a random person on the street walked up to you and asked, “Who are you? Tell me about yourself,” what are the identifiers you would ...read more

Magnificent Meekness

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on May 18, 2024

Biblical meekness is having the power to act yet holding back until we are led to act by the Holy Spirit. This is magnificent meekness and it is different than potential. God grants us the power of His meekness today and fully equips us to do whatever He is calling us to do.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5 ESV) What does it mean to be meek in a biblical sense? Dr. Richard Tow describes it well in his book, “Beatitudes of Christ.” On page 65, he says, “Meekness is not weakness. Meekness is a manifestation of spiritual ...read more

Putting To Death The Sins Of The Flesh

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024

We have no reason to say that we are caught in sin, because we don’t have to. That’s what it says. We are under no obligation to agree with the sinful nature when it wants to do something bad. Instead, the Spirit makes us free.

We’ve talked about the fact that a Christian walks by faith, trusting in God and following God’s leading even when it seems odd or strange. We’ve talked about how a follower of Jesus seeks and ...read more
