All Sermons

As we wrap up this series, we look specifically at how we have been empowered to overcome every temptation that is sent against us.

Our enemy is crafty and it is important to know that he is also predictable...and through the interaction of tempting Jesus, we can learn the schemes that he attempts to use against us.

Today we begin working through the temptation of Jesus by first unmasking the reality of temptation and the victory Jesus gives us.

One of the most common ways that He speaks to us is through promptings. Promptings are urges to do something extra, generous, or different - often times outside of your normal - and often times they come from God.

Depending on your church background, the idea of someone speaking to you on behalf of God may feel a little out there. But the truth is that God uses other people to speak into our lives all of the time. It could be to confirm something...possibly to confront something...and oftentimes it's to give perspective.

Last week's message was simple and lays the foundational framework for the rest of the series. If you want to hear the voice of God - then you need to spend dedicated, consistent time in the Bible. There is no substitute. However, when we are actively pursuing our relationship with God through His Word, we will find that He speaks to us in many other ways as well. This week, we take a look at how to hear God's voice through our desires and doors that He opens and closes.

In today’s episode we wrap up and do some reflecting on our six month sermon series through 1 Corinthians. We also spend some time discussing our new series, How to Hear God’s Voice, and why the Bible is at the foundation.

God speaks to us in many potential ways - from signs and desires to people and even our dreams. But first and foremost - He speaks to us through the Bible - His Word! The same Spirit who inspired the ancient writers of the Bible is the same Spirit who inspires us as we read it today. Every time we open the Bible, we have the potential to hear the voice of God.

As we get to the end of Paul's letter to the church in Corinth - he pulls back the curtain on his travel plans and gives final instructions to the church. He encourages them to receive and submit to their spiritual leaders, to be strong in the faith, to stand firm and to do all things God's way.

As Paul gets ready to wrap up his letter to the church in Corinth - he shifts from readiness and hope for eternity to practically living a life of faith here on earth. Because of our hope in the resurrection and the future - Paul encourages us to live faithfully. And part of that is being generous with what God has given us. In this chunk of his letter Paul provides some practical instructions on generosity and giving.
