Why Did Jesus Die?

May 29, 2022 17:21 - 33 minutes - 15.2 MB

It might seem like a simple question, but there are several theories in the Christian world about why Jesus died. Some say it was to conquer sin. Others believe it was to buy us back from the curse of the Law. Concepts like “atonement” and “penal substitution” are often part of the discussion. In this message, I share three main reasons why Jesus died. You’ll be inspired by God’s love and the simplicity of the Gospel as you celebrate your new identity, your freedom from sin’s bondage, and ...

Was Paul out of line to rebuke Peter publicly? I've been taught that God won't hear my prayers if there are any unrepentant sins in my life. Is this true?

Protect! Guarding the Church from Falsehood

May 22, 2022 16:36 - 40 minutes - 18.5 MB

Believers are warned in 2 John about opponents of the Gospel seeking to twist the truth about Jesus Christ. We see it today in people teaching that we need to do more, love more, and confess more to find peace with God.  But we don’t have a frustrated, angry God wishing we did better. We have the gift of God’s mercy and grace and His life inside us!  In this message, we’ll celebrate that we’re part of God’s forgiven, chosen people. You’ll learn the truth about your peace with God, and wh...

Born Twice: Jesus Teaches the Teacher!

May 15, 2022 16:52 - 34 minutes - 15.8 MB

The term “born again” is pervasive in our culture, but do we really understand what it means? Some believe it’s about water baptism, church attendance, or maybe Bible knowledge. Even Nicodemus, a religious scholar we read about in John 3:1-21, was confused. As Jesus explains to Nicodemus, being born again is about salvation – a choice to move from death to life. In this message, you’ll learn the invitation to eternal life is for anyone and everyone. It’s easy and light, and it’s as simple ...

How involved should we be in politics? Is God more likely to answer a prayer with "yes" if more people pray? Why are we taught to ask for forgiveness if "it is finished"? How do I get rid of bad thoughts? Can you talk about guilt, shame, and anxiety? What about the Lord's Prayer- shouldn't we pray it?

God Delights in You!

May 08, 2022 17:31 - 29 minutes - 13.3 MB

On Mother’s Day, Bible passages like Proverbs 31 are often presented as a description of the ideal woman or Christian. It’s offered as a high standard that can leave us feeling like we don’t measure up. But God doesn’t need you to aspire to be something or someone you’re not. He’s absolutely pleased with you and likes everything about you! No matter what roles you play in this life, there’s no benchmark to meet as a believer. God is dancing over you and delighting in who you are. Check o...

Saved! Now What?

May 01, 2022 16:11 - 33 minutes - 15.2 MB

After salvation, it’s normal to wonder what comes next. We want to grow, and we’re often taught that growth comes from seeking more: more righteousness, more forgiveness, more sanctification. We’re told as we do our part, we become more pleasing to God. But what if growing in your faith isn’t about doing or seeking more? What if the pressure’s off, and you already have everything you need for life and godliness? In this message, I share what spiritual growth looks like in the life of a belie...

April 24, 2022 16:00 - 25 minutes - 11.7 MB

For thousands of years, people have sought God’s favor through sacrifice, rituals, and religious traditions.
