In the second half of Ephesians 4, Paul says to put off your old self and put on the new self, and what he’s telling us is how we are to live now that we’ve been rescued and redeemed by Christ. Becoming a follower of Jesus is not about behavior modification, it’s about identity transformation. You don’t have to get your life cleaned up before you come to Christ. However, when we become followers of Jesus, even though we are a new creation, we must be intentional about putting off the old life and putting on the new by the power of the Holy Spirit living inside us.

James illustrates through the tales of three men how we can react in the face of our circumstances.  We can be a people who remain steadfast under trial if we cling to Jesus because He remains steadfast. When we avoid suffering, we avoid the opportunity to look like Jesus. Our lives are meant to be a constant submission into the hands of our Creator, like gold in the hands of the Refiner. 

Faith That Works // The Tale of the Three Men

 This first sermon of this new Faith That Works series specifically addresses the testing of your faith, the purpose of trials, and trusting with doubt. The book of James goes after a “Faith that doesn’t just work in us, but a faith that gets to work".

The person of Jesus changes everything. Jesus didn’t leave us alone, he left so that he could always be with us in the person of the Spirit. Access to heaven when we die is a promise. Access to relationship with Christ until we die is a lifeline.

All Things New // Emmaus

"And he who was seated on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.'" (Revelation 21:5 NIV) When we come to God, He doesn’t just redeem from this point forward, He redeems all. He redeems every aspect of our lives that we entrust to Him, and repurposes it for our good and His glory.
