The church is called to discipleship and discipleship is all about multiplication; more people meeting Jesus and learning how to trust and follow Jesus, so that more people can meet Jesus and trust and follow Him too. This sermon presents some common reasons why many Christians struggle with discipling others.

Practicing your faith is just as vital as believing the right things. Relationships are God’s litmus for you to evaluate what you truly believe. Real relationships are God’s venue for transformation. Therefore, we must embrace and learn to enjoy our relational reality in Christ.

Pastor Rob takes us back to the roots of the Protestant Reformation with a message discussing the first core value of Gospel Life Church: Reformed Theology (The Five Solas): Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone), Sola Gratia (grace alone), Sola Fide (faith alone), Solus Christus (Christ alone), and Soli Deo Gloria (the glory of God alone) and why these facets of Reformed Theology are relevant not only to Gospel Life Church, but to all of us in out everyday life.

We all have an idea in our minds as what hospitality is and looks like. How does the Bible define hospitality? Very simply, love for strangers. It sounds much easier than it is, opening our homes and our lives to the strangers in our own communities, to show them the love that Christ has for them.

What does the church that is redeemed and rescued look like? And how do they interact? They give God the glory through affirming and recognizing His work in one another.

It is not our perfection that displays the glory of Christ to the world around us. But, our loving acceptance and forgiveness of the imperfections of others towards us; because, the perfect one Jesus has forgiven all of us all of our sins against Him. Enabling us to be free to forgive others when they sin against us, by the power of the Holy Spirit; but, if anyone does sin we have an advocate with the Father in Jesus Christ the righteous, He is the propitiation for our sins.

Living a gospel shaped life of humility is rooted in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ who came down low to seek, save, and humbly serve those who would deny "self" and follow Him. It is only through His truth and His grace that we receive the power of the Holy Spirit to live out the gospel and view others as more important than ourselves.

Biblical hope is a rock-solid conviction of faith in the future promises of God, a steadfast anchor in an unchangeable and immovable Almighty God. What is your source of life and hope? Is it the Word of God? What is your greatest hope? Is it to see King Jesus face to face in all of His glory? How do you create a culture of hope? By remembering to preach the truth of gospel to yourself daily AND by reminding others of His promises and helping them connect the transformational power of the gospel to their everyday life.

When we focus on the physical we’re going to miss the spiritual. Far too often we are so focused on our physical wants or needs that we forget God’s providence in the current and the past. And in those situations, God has given us stories to reference His faithfulness when physical circumstances get tough.

As adults we take pride in our independence and in our ability to do life on our own. Unfortunately, this same pride makes us proud before God and we find it rather easy to do life apart from Him. Jesus offers another way; the way of humility and dependence and complete reliance upon a Good Father who loves us very much.
