If you’ve spent any time in the Bible, you probably have a favorite verse—one that jumps out at you or really speaks to something going on in your life. In this series, we’ll hear from three different speakers about the verses that affected them in profound ways to encourage all of us. This week, Duane Calvin, the Raleigh Campus Pastor, shares how John 3:16 changed his life and how it has the power to change yours.

Are you willing to do whatever it takes to step into the abundant life that Jesus has for you? There are lots of ways you can respond to the power and the presence of God, but only one way to get it—God’s way. In this message, Chase Gardner challenges us to see that doing it God’s way often means taking radical steps to protect the change.

Every farmer starts with the harvest in mind. They plant the seeds for the crop they want to grow. They work diligently, and they patiently wait for the fruits of their labor to grow. In this message, Chase Gardner reminds us to faithfully sow and patiently wait for the abundant harvest that's to come.

Most of us never experience true freedom in life because we get caught up in sin, and a lot of the time we don’t even realize it. In this message, Ayren Nelson helps us understand what sinful habits may be holding us back and offers 4 steps for taking a path to healing.

A lot of us don’t like being told what to do, especially if it’s something we don’t want to do. In this message, Chase Gardner explains that this habit can get in the way of us being the person God wants us to be. We can rely on the Bible as our ultimate roadmap to experiencing true freedom, power, and authority through Jesus.

We all have a spirit inside of us – the spirit of flesh – but God has sent another Spirit to battle against it. In this message, Chase Gardner teaches about the Holy Spirit and how we can be in a relationship with Him. But we can’t just sense the Holy Spirit, we have to surrender to Him and that will truly set us free. 

Message Notes:
God can do more than we can imagine in our lives even when we fail and feel defeated.

In the past, God would sometimes place His people inside of His presence; but now, God places His presence inside of His people.

There is a battle going on inside of us between the Spirit and the flesh. Romans 8:5-9, 12-14 (NIV)

The most important thing you can do the moment you start following Christ is to cultivate a relationship with the Spirit.

Who is the Spirit of God? The Holy Spirit is a person.

How do we cultivate a relationship with the Holy Spirit?
1) Welcome Him.

• Genesis 6:3 (NIV)
• Ephesians 4:30 (NIV)
• 1 Thessalonians 5:19 (NIV)
• Hebrews 10:29 (ESV)
• The Spirit hates sharing your heart with something else.
• When God moves in, other things have to move out.
• The Spirit doesn’t remove things from your life. He just defeats them.

2) Commune with Him.

• When you stop being indifferent to the Holy Spirit, you’ll start being different due to the Holy Spirit. 

3) Walk with Him.

• Amos 3:3 (NLT)
• It’s not sensing but surrendering to the Spirit that makes all the difference.

“I will welcome the Spirit and follow His lead.”

Do you ever feel spiritually beat up, like you’re in a constant battle? The truth is, you are in a battle – for your soul. In this message, Chase Gardner teaches us about the obstacles that trip us up in life and reminds us that we have the authority to be the person God wants us to be.

Message Notes:
God can do more than we can imagine in our lives even when we fail and feel defeated.

Acts 3:1-2 (NLT) A man, who was born lame, was left outside the temple to beg.

Acts 3:3 (NLT) He asked Peter and John for money.

Acts 3:4-6a (NLT) Peter told the man he didn’t have any silver or gold.

Acts 3:6b-8 (NLT) Peter told the man that he had something different to offer, and it was healing in the name of Jesus Christ.

God doesn’t deal in small change but new creation.

Acts 3:9-10 (NLT) The people were astounded to see the man who was lame walking and praising God.

The “right hand” is a common metaphor in the Bible for power and authority.

• Exodus 15:6 (NLT)
• Deuteronomy 33:2 (NLT)
• Luke 22:69 (NLT)
• Acts 3:16 (NLT)
• Luke 9:1-2 (NLT)
• Luke 10:17-20 (NLT)

Through history, we see that God gave Adam and Eve the authority to rule the things of earth. Genesis 1:26 (KJB)

• They gave up that authority to Satan. 

Luke 4:6-7 (ESV)

When Jesus rose from the grave, He won back that authority Adam and Eve had lost. 

Hebrews 2:14-15 (NLT) 

Colossians 2:14-15 (NLT)

Through faith in Jesus, we have spiritual authority, but not physical authority, again. Hebrews 2:8 (ESV)

The battles we have faced in our lives have already been won in Jesus. 

Romans 8:1-2 (NLT)

Romans 6:14 (NLT)

Colossians 1:13-14 (NLT)

We can have freedom from our sin if we step forward into the belief that God has the power to defeat our sin. Are we willing to fight for our faith? To believe God can change us?

            Isaiah 42:13 (NLT)

            Psalm 18:31-32, 34-36, 39 (NLT)

            Hebrews 12:12-13 (NLT)

“I will refuse to be anything less than who God has created me to be.”

Worship is simply a statement of the things you assign value to. It’s more than a song. It’s more than one day a week. Worship is a lifestyle. It’s a choice that we make, every day of the week—at home, at work, and in the moments when we’re alone. Worshiping God is a response to His unending promise. It’s an outward expression of praise to the One who gave us everything we have. In this three-week series we’ll explore what it means to live a life of worship.

Week Three – What Shapes Your Worth?

Speaker: Léonce Crump (Senior Pastor of Renovation Church)

Psalm 100

If our sense of worth is shaped more by culture than by Christ, our worship will reflect this.

• Worship is about God, but it's more about you than Him.
• How we worship reveals what shapes our worth.

Worship impacts our way of life.

Romans 12:1

When we gather together, we invite God’s presence.

• God visits His children wherever they are.
• Based on history, we see that He has no preference for style of worship, language, altitude, pattern, building material, or physical location.

Worship precedes

• We should live every day with our worth shaped by God.
• Worship begins privately and overflows publicly.

Cultivation of worship vs. consumption of worship

If God is not shaping your worth, what is?

Next step—prioritize worship in every aspect of your life:

1. Start your day singing to the Lord.
2. Engage God throughout the day—ask Him for guidance.
3. Sing passionately and loudly in gathered worship.

The way we will accomplish our mission is to be passionate lovers and worshipers of God.

Episode Description:
Albert Tate unpacks 1 Corinthians 13 and reminds us that as true, wholehearted, fully-devoted worshipers of God, our worship inevitably should be marked by love. Hope Community Church on Sunday, June 19, 2022.

Worship = Love Better

1 Corinthians 13
