Part 2 of our series in Galatians

This passage lays the foundation for the rest of the epistle to the Galatians: the gospel is LEGIT and the gospel is the only way to true freedom!

A practical beginner's guide to deliverance ministry in the church

The resurrection of Jesus was the foundation of Paul's ministry and preaching. He calls us all to examine our heart response to the gospel -- are we holding fast to Jesus, or have we believed in vain?

The disciplines of rest are all about propelling the Christian to a place of humble listening before the Lord.

The lifestyle of Jesus is a lifestyle of self-sacrifice. He calls his followers to the same lifestyle, but he provides the grace and strength to endure sacrifice with joy.

It seems like much of the time we’re in a rush to get to the next thing. However, Jesus had a habit of slowing down to do ministry and to display God’s glory when others would have rushed past those opportunities.

The problem of “not enough time” for Jesus is closely related to having “too much stuff.” A wholehearted disciple seeks the Kingdom of God first and lives an outward lifestyle of material simplicity.

The practice of sabbath has been largely abandoned by the modern church, yet it was something created and blessed by God to benefit his children.

In order to live a life that is unbusy and unhurried, we must implement a lifestyle that emulates the Lord Jesus. Typically we refer to this lifestyle as one of spiritual discipline. The next few weeks we will examine several of these spiritual disciplines that will help shape us into Christians who are not bogged down by unhelpful busyness, anxiety and spiritual oblivion.

The only way to find true rest for your soul is to bring your burdens to Jesus.

Although distracted busyness is a problem that plagues our society, the Christian life is supposed to be one of "much serving." The Christian life should be busy, but the question is, "With what?"

The story of Mary and Martha lays the foundation as we begin to examine what it means to be "too busy."

This sermon examines how the Lord loves to work at a "disadvantage" to prove his power by accomplishing his plan through weak and finite humans.

Part 2 of the story of Elijah on Mt. Carmel

Part 1 of a mini series on the story of Elijah at Mount Carmel.

The Spirit-led life does not add Jesus to a mixture of worldly solutions to life challenges. The Spirit-led life makes Jesus the central priority who fills all in all.

To be in Christ means that we are free from trying to change ourselves through legalism and secularism

Those who are in Christ are no longer debtors to the flesh, but are now instruments of righteousness to bear abundant fruit.

This is the second part of last week's message on the things that keep us from our potential in Christ.
