John 15:18-20 & 23, 16:1-4 If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also… Whoever hates me hates my Father as well... All this I have told you so that you will not fall away....

Easter: The Last Night

March 31, 2024 14:00 - 1 hour - 170 MB

This is the most lavish display of love—that the Creator of heaven and earth sent His only Son to save His creation. We repeatedly rejected Him while helplessly trying to fill the God-sized void. But we chose things that would never satisfy or save us. And that Son, called Jesus, willingly laid down His life and died for our sins. Through His perfect sacrifice, we now have access to the gifts of salvation, freedom, and adoption into God’s family.

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.” But what exactly does that mean, especially when it comes to living out Jesus’ call to be light in a dark world and, ultimately, to make disciples wherever we go?

A United Church

January 21, 2024 20:50 - 58 minutes - 53.5 MB

Like Jesus’ disciples, we are a people God has SENT, or commissioned and equipped, to share the Good News with the people around us. We are the Church, a movement of people called to operate in the same power that Jesus did—to be His witnesses wherever we go. But the people who were a part of the early church were only empowered because they were first committed to walking together. God blesses unity! So, why does it matter and how do we become and stay

God put good stuff in you! You are made in the IMAGE OF GOD! You were made for something great! Even when life slams the door shut on one area of life, it’s not over. You may have been overlooked.

November 12, 2023 13:33 - 40 minutes - 73.6 MB

As believers, each of us is a part of the body of Christ—one body with many members. We were created on purpose with a purpose, and every breath that we’ve been gifted by God is an opportunity to allow His Kingdom to fully reign in our lives. The reality is that, sometimes, we get comfortable and stop taking steps forward in our faith. But we have a responsibility to do something with the new life we’ve been given.

Matthew 7:15-20 NIV “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you ...

Awe of God

October 22, 2023 13:36 - 57 minutes - 52.8 MB

What does it mean to fear God, to work out our salvation with fear and trembling? It’s not what it sounds like. To fear the Lord is to live in absolute awe of His power, His presence, and His promises. Imagine how excited and awestruck you will be one day—to look upon His face and finally see Him! That is the posture from which we want to look to Him and worship Him today. Our God is not wrathful or scary. We don’t tremble because we are afraid. We tremble because of the wonder and ...

Is Hell Real?

October 08, 2023 14:00 - 51 minutes - 93.8 MB

Culture would have us believe that wide is the road that leads to heaven—that there are many paths to God—and narrow is the road that leads to hell. But as difficult as it might be to hear, Jesus teaches us that the opposite is true. He encourages us to follow His way, even though it isn’t popular or anywhere near easy when we try to do it in our own strength. The good news is that when we know the truth, we can choose the kind of life where we’re empowered by His Spirit and able to...

Judging Christians

September 17, 2023 20:40 - 50 minutes - 91.6 MB

When it comes to judging, it’s in our nature… It’s easy to point out the flaws in others while overlooking the areas we need to address, but when we do, we give the kind of judgment that we’d never want for ourselves. Jesus left us with clear instruction: don’t be blind to your own sins. Take care of your own wrongdoing first, and only then can you see clearly to help those around you—lovingly calling one another out of sin and into Christ-likeness.

Do Not Worry

August 27, 2023 11:00 - 53 minutes - 98.6 MB

Jesus left us with a command: “…do not worry about your life.” The reality is that we’ve all gotten caught in the quicksand of “what-ifs” and doubt when it comes to finances.

Breaking the Spirit of Mammon

August 20, 2023 11:00 - 51 minutes - 93.6 MB

When Jesus talked about money, He introduced a wildly controversial idea of having an eternal view of wealth and that money has the potential to have lasting, heavenly impact. That’s still strange for many of us today because the world’s view is to build and accumulate money and things that show our success—things that seemingly bring us comfort, security and even power. But God warns us that money and possessions can deceive us into living for the temporal and cause us to lose sigh...

Jesus calls us to love our enemies, to lead with love no matter the circumstances. His life, and death, was the perfect example. He loved, even as He died for His enemies.
