freedom
The gospel promises eternal life, free and secure in Jesus Christ. Despite that, many people live with fear, guilt, and shame. Not taking hold of the fullness of the good news, they wonder if the world holds the answers, after all. This message looks at the promise of the gospel, particularly for a new generation looking for hope.
Romans 6:23
Sometimes, it feels like the Bible doesn’t work. People who read it can be more angry than those who don’t. This message looks at how to get past an ineffective knowledge of Scripture and experience the life-changing power that God’s Word can bring.
James 1:19-27
Do you ever struggle with the weight of the world's judgment and pressure? In today's sermon, we learn why in Jesus we have hope to stand in the face of judgment and freedom to live the best way possible!
With the pace of life and the overload of information, we’re easily distracted. It’s hard for us to go deep with anything because there’s always something new to try. That tendency is fatal to a healthy walk with Jesus. This message shows how to fix it.
Colossians 2:6-15 // [outline]
It’s easy to be smug when we read headlines or see examples of people around us caught in sin. But the fact is that we all have a tendency to deny the seriousness of our sin. This message looks at the consequences of holding onto sinful habits and how God helps to set us free.
The distance we often feel from God creates a loneliness that haunts us even when friends are near. At Christmas, God drew near and made possible an intimacy of relationship that had never been known. This message looks at how to experience this nearness to God and how it can change you.
Never before have we pursued freedom as a society like we do today. We hold it up as our highest good, but we seldom define it, and when we do, there’s usually not an accompanying discussion of consequences. This message looks at a biblical definition of freedom and how we can grow in it.
We often find ourselves wanting to change. But when we start with the behaviour without addressing our thinking, frustration often results. This message looks at how God uses our circumstances and His Word to confront the patterns in our mind that bind us to our past.
Many people want freedom, but few know how to experience it. In fact, many of the things in our world that promise us freedom end in addiction. Today’s message looks at the path that Jesus promises will end in true and lasting freedom.
