Sermon Summary

The renewal of 10 cities comes from revival in our hearts. We are continuing to explore what it looks like for us to do good works, great exploits. Instead of just focusing on the action, the doing, and the exploits in our city, we are focused on our foundation–our identity. What good is knowing our destiny and purpose without having the identity to carry it out? Jesus taught his disciples this lesson, and as his students, we must catch this too. There is joy that comes with knowing who we are. This alone is what we should boast about, not what we do, not just our great exploits, but who we are, our identity in God.

Sermon Summary

We have a city full of amazing people who hold the very image of God within them. Because these same human beings are so very familiar to us, we might just miss the depth of glory and beauty that is within them. The solution that God has been giving since Genesis is through identity. God gives us our identity in a few different ways: by speaking to us through His Word, through the community that we surround ourselves with, and through the stories in the Bible that we are drawn to. These are just a few of the ways we are reminded of who we are. Because identity reveals destiny and leading our city into its promised land is our destiny, we can’t talk about doing good works and doing great exploits without having a foundation of identity.

Sermon Summary

It’s a great time of year when new life springs from the ground and from the trees, but let’s not forget that it comes after a season of being dormant, buried, and often dead. We love new life, new things, and birthing the next, but God never skips over the process that He set up at the beginning; that life doesn’t come until after death. There is no resurrection without death, and there is no empty grave without a cross. The most significant event in all of history has taught us one thing: God brings life after death. We have an opportunity to “die daily” by picking up our cross to prepare our hearts for this eternal reality in heaven. If we skip the process now, we might find ourselves in a less desirable situation later. During the busyness of Easter, be mindful of God, and pay attention to what He might want to prune in order for more lasting fruit to come from your life.

Sermon Summary

The title of this message is more than just a title, it is a serious and sobering question that all must face at some point in our lives. When you understand the true worth of something, you'll give up anything to have more of it. In Matthew 26:6-16, we see three different evaluations of Jesus's worth - three different kinds of devotion, and only one of them was acceptable and pleasing to our Lord. What kind of devotion do you have today? What is Jesus worth to you?

Sermon Summary

We’re in a new Era, and we are called to prepare for what God is doing. It’s not just a new year or season but a significant time for His people to increase His presence. Our deepest desire is to gather around God's presence and mission, extending beyond church buildings into Business, Education, Medicine, Families, Government, and Media. This decentralized expression of faith is being closely observed by the rulers and authorities in Heaven.

What if the timing of when you were born was sovereignly ordained by a God who is present and powerful to set you up to do good works that will help form the atmosphere of a city? What if the place where you live, work, and play is sovereignly orchestrated by God with you as the missing element your city needs to be fully complete-with peace and prosperity? You are a large part of God's  strategy for our Cities to be renewed. And how God orchestrates change in and through us is where our affections rest.
