Coastline Covenant - Sermons

The Bible commands us in no uncertain terms to pursue prophecy as part of our community life. So what even is prophecy and how do we actually obey Scripture's call to pursue it today?

Andrew takes us through 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21, in his thought-provoking sermon.

Pastor Garrick continued our The Strange Things of God teaching series by looking at the gift of tongues. This gift seems like the strangest gift the Holy Spirit could give. If we are honest, this gift often makes us nervous because either we lack experience with it, or it has been divisive or unfruitful within our church experience. And yet, scripture tells us to "Eagerly Desire" this often unfamiliar gift. So as we seek to be Boldly Biblical and Spirit Seeking, let's learn what this gift is, and how it can be used to edify both you and the church.  

Dive into the doctrinal topic of how the Holy Spirit works in our lives. The Holy Spirit is not only always moving, but he is also always speaking to us. We can learn what God would have us do once we learn to hear God’s voice.

This week we kicked off a new series on the Holy Spirit's presence in our lives. The Holy Spirit empowers the followers of Jesus to both tell and demonstrate the gospel. However, we often ignore the Holy Spirit's empowering presence by setting aside certain gifts that seem unfamiliar and uncomfortable to us. Yet these are the very gifts that scripture commands us to seek. Join us as we consider new paths, through familiar passages, explaining unfamiliar gifts. 

Lent is a time of reflection, repentance, and preparation leading up to Easter. It's a time for quiet contemplation and a reminder of our human frailty and need for God's grace.

Shawn wraps up our Romans 8 series looking at verses 31-39. Paul writes to encourage the church that regardless of what happens, the love of Christ is strong enough to hold them fast and get them through.

We hope you go back and listen to this entire series. Maybe even consider memorizing Romans 8 sometime in 2025.

Pastor Shawn tackles a BIG text in Romans 8:31-35. Paul seeks to reassure that church that God’s love to them reaches beyond their life circumstances, and they are eternally and irrevocably loved by God.

Pastor Shawn leads us through Romans 8:28-30. Jesus told us that in this world, we will have trouble. His lasting promise to us, though, is that no matter the severity or intensity of our suffering, he has the ability to turn it to blessing.

Pastor Garrick voices our inner frustrations at times. We all know what it is like to have a problem drag on and on until we find ourselves weak and wordless. Weak with no energy left to try and no words left to fill our prayers. We are tired and prayed out. 

Yet, it is precisely in these moments that the Holy Spirit provides us with hope and help. How? Listen with us as we receive encouragement through the Holy Spirit who is actively praying for us.  

Shawn takes us through Romans 8:18-25 where the people in Rome were suffering, and Paul was looking to encourage them to endure by focusing not on the present pain, but the future glory of God. They key to experiencing that hope, though, was found only through the Holy Spirits inward work in them.
