Coastline Covenant - Sermons

Jesus knew exactly what his life mission and vision for his life were. Our ability to minister to people, here and now, will be dramatically impacted if we can live by the same mission, and a clear understanding of the vision for our life.

Our world today is so busy and stressed, that we all live with a natural state of anxiety. The greatest witness we can have in times like this is resisting anxiety, and resting deeply in our relationship with our Heavenly Father.

In our final week of our Jonah series, we explore the parallels between Jonah and Jesus, and see how the calling to Ninevah is still relevant for you and I today.

The book of Jonah ends with a profound question that forces us to wrestle with our own hearts and how they align with God's heart toward others.

This week we begin our new sermon series on Jonah. We will study the other places in scripture where he appears, and use it to create an understanding of who he is and why he so drastically says no to God. We will see that Jonah is not that different than us, and we can (and sometimes do) respond in similar ways when God does something new in our life. 

Andrew Faris finishes out the series by preaching on 1 Cor. 15:12-19, showing how the historical reality of the resurrection of Jesus shapes our present experience with Jesus and our hope for a future at his return.

The gospel is more than a declaration of our salvation, it is an invitation to participate with God on earth. We are equipped by God, called by Jesus, and empowered by the Spirit to participate. So stop watching and step…
