Repentance is essential, but it cannot save—only Jesus’ baptism of grace and the gift of the Spirit unite us fully to the Father. The call is clear: stop living under the weight of the “big no” and step into the joy of life with God in the cool of the day.

The gospel gives us more than forgiveness—it gives us family. John Held unpacks the incredible truth of adoption: through Christ, we are welcomed as sons and daughters of the living God.

Abiding in Christ isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about cultivating a daily relationship that flows from awe of who God is. Intimacy with Jesus changes everything: it aligns our hearts with His mission, makes us attentive to His voice, and frees us from the distractions of sin.

The Christian life isn’t about striving harder—it’s about surrendering daily to the Spirit. In Galatians 5, Paul contrasts the destructive works of the flesh with the beautiful fruit of the Spirit, reminding us that only God can produce real transformation in us.

The Great Commission is essential for every Christian. But how do we overcome the desire for comfort and conformity that keeps us from fulfilling it? Owen Cotten walks us through how the authority and presence of Jesus can move us to make disciples of all nations.

Ministry was never meant to be a solo mission. In Acts 18, Paul’s partnerships with friends like Aquila, Priscilla, Silas, and Timothy show how teamwork strengthens the gospel’s reach, deepens unity, and reflects the character of Jesus.

If heaven is our home, why doesn’t God take us there the moment we believe? The Scriptures answer with a clear truth—we’re still here because Jesus has chosen to use every believer in His mission to bring the gospel to the world.

Wherever Paul went—Thessalonica, Berea, Athens—his message of Jesus disrupted the status quo and sparked both revival and resistance. We’re called to do the same: live humbly, speak boldly, and join the gospel movement that’s been reshaping the world since Pentecost.

One of the ways we fight for joy is by sharing our stories of what God has done for us. Listen to an array of testimonies from the recent Confluence regional conference as well as the New Day youth conference.

Money isn’t the problem—loving it is. In this sermon, we’re invited to examine how money shapes our trust, our fears, and our priorities, and how the gospel calls us into joyful, sacrificial generosity instead.
