TJ Lewis preaches over the Beatitudes in Matthew 5.
Guest speaker Dr. Jonathan Pennington of Southern Seminary kicks off our summer study of the Sermon on the Mount.
Most people would love to have a personal relationship with God, but what does that even mean? How do you have a relationship with someone you can't see and who likely won't speak audibly to you? In Psalm 63, we are given a picture of someone who expresses a desperate need for God's presence, and we are shown how they were able to draw near to God.
As we seek to love God and others, where can we find our confidence and security in our relationship with God? Ultimately, our hope is rooted in what Jesus has done and continues to do for us.
Christians gather annually to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. However, if Jesus did raise from the dead, what does that mean for us living 2,000 years after the fact? Can an event that happened so long ago really have an impact on people living in the twenty-first century? Check out our latest message to discover why the resurrection matters and what it means for our relationship with God.
All of us have been tempted to be disappointed with Jesus at some point. If he truly is the king over all things, then why is the world in the condition that it is in? Why is there so much confusion and heartache in my own life? In John 12, we find the crowds welcoming Jesus into Jerusalem and ready to proclaim him as their king. However, it becomes obvious that their expectations of what Jesus's kingship will be like don't match Jesus's own understanding of his identity. So, if Jesus is a king, then what kind of king is he? What does that mean for my life?
When it gets hard to stay faithful to Jesus, what can help us persevere? This is a question Christians have been asking for thousands of years. In Acts 14, Paul gives us an example of how to enter the kingdom of God through many tribulations. Even though his faith in Christ cost him, Paul was willing to remain faithful because he knew that Jesus was worth it. Check out our sermon from Acts 14 for more.
Trying to discern God’s will for our lives can be difficult, but he has not left us without tools to try and hear his voice. In Acts 13, the church at Antioch was worshiping, fasting, and praying when they heard the Spirit tell them to set apart Barnabas and Saul. Often in Acts, God speaks to his people through prayer. How can we actively seek to hear from God, and how can fasting aid us as we try and experience more of him? Check out our latest sermon for more.
A sermon from guest preacher Tyler St. Clair of Cornerstone Church in Detroit, MI.
When life isn’t going how we expected, it’s easy to become disillusioned with God. However, should we be frustrated with God when life is hard, or is it possible that our expectations of what the Christian life would be are misguided? Check out our latest sermon from Acts 12 as we learn how to remain faithful to Jesus in a fallen and imperfect world.
