  • Empowered: Courageous Living

    We need power for living and not just in difficult times.  Life is always full of challenges that would try to hold us back from God’s best.  The good news is that Jesus has promised us all we need to make it through what we are facing.  As Jesus gave some of His final instructions to His disciple He spoke a lot about the Holy Spirit (John 14-16).  He also promised them (and us) that the Holy Spirit would abide within us.  Unfortunately, the Holy Spirit is kind of the forgotten person of the Holy Trinity.  Some refer to the Holy Spirit as it, like some impersonal force, but He is a person.  And Jesus used a Greek word paracletos to describe Him.  That word is complex and can be translated helper, advocate, counselor, and comforter.  It literally means “called alongside” and by implication one called alongside to help.  God the Holy Spirit is alongside us throughout our lives.  In this series we are going to look at how the Holy Spirit within us empowers us with comfort, courage, direction, transformation, and the supernatural life. 

    Courageous Living, Romans 8:11, 15-16, Fear can easily dominate us like that bully at school who was so imposing and intimidating.  What if we could know that we have someone who is powerful enough to “have our back” and turn the tables on fear?  Well, we do and the power He brings into our lives is referred to resurrection power.

  • Friends 1: Hear (from Him)

    Jesus in John 15:15 says we are His friends, but how can we be friends with God? Well, it is what

    we are, but the blessing of being a friend does not happen overnight, even with our earthly friends.
    Our friendships developed over time as we got to know each other better. The same is true with
    Jesus. While there are no surefire formulas that will help us in three easy steps or whatever, there
    are some things we can do over time that will help us know Him better. And it is in knowing Him
    better that our relationship develops into a close friendship. And how cool is that? For the next
    four weeks we are going to look at what we can do to know Him better and develop a closer
    friendship with Jesus.

  • Big Questions 1-Who is Jesus?

    Both lifelong Christians and people on the edges of the church have some of the same basic questions about life and faith.  Lent is the perfect time to explore these questions, leading up to the big question that is answered with Easter: Is there hope for life and life beyond death?

    Who is Jesus, Matthew 16:13-17, He is Lord and God.  Pastor John Newsome
