Jesus promised that, "In this world, you will have trouble." Everything around us is shaking. And this is a really good time to ask yourself: "What is my foundation?”

Matthew 7:24-27

This world struggles with understanding love, especially a father’s love. Pastor Eric helps us reconnect with the Heavenly Father’s love: a father’s love provides, a father’s love forgives, and a father’s love restores. THE ULTIMATE DISPLAY OF THE FATHER’S LOVE IS FOUND IN THE GIVING OF HIS SON, JESUS, AS A RANSOM FOR OUR SINS.

The Baptism In the Holy Spirit is Biblical. The Book of Acts lays out the separate and distinct Baptism in the Holy Spirit as a common practice for the New Testament Church. And Jesus Himself tells us how to receive this Baptism in the Spirit - ASK.

It’s a mistake to ignore Satan and it’s also a mistake to focus on Satan. I want to encourage us to stop talking to the Devil when we pray. Stop talking to the Devil when we minister to others. Stop shouting at the Devil when things are going bad and when we need things to change. Instead, let’s cry out to God.

What does KEEPING IN STEP with the Holy Spirit look like?

What’s the evidence that we are in-step with the Holy Spirit?

Does walking in the Spirit automatically happen OR do we need to be intentional – take action?

Pastor Eric Jones, Evident Life Church

From the beginning of the New Testament Church and up to today, there has been great mystery surrounding the Holy Spirit. Who is He? What’s His role? Where is He? And why is He here?

Primary Text: John 14:16-17

1. YOU ARE MADE FOR PLEASURE: When we find God, we find pleasure and we are satisfied.

2. THE DANGERS OF FAKE PLEASURE: the world offers fake pleasure that bring pain and even death.

3. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW: you get what you go after. Seek God and you will find pleasure. Seek pleasure and you will miss God.

Let’ call it what it is… in sending your kids to anti-God education institutions, you’ve chosen to train your children to be Romans, to be secularists, to mock God, to love pleasure, and to embrace a twisted worldview, and a godless worldview. - Pastor Eric Jones

A Christian who is DISCOVERING Jesus, and DEVELOPING in Christ, will naturally and willingly DEPLOY. Yet, many Christians remain small, their world remains small, their territory and their impact remains small because they won’t deploy. Pastor Eric Jones wraps up the JESUS IS_____ series.

The Resurrection Sunday Message brings a critical reminder and frames the importance of Jesus being our Savior, our Lord, and our King. Pastor Eric Jones draws our focus to Ephesians 1:20-23. When Jesus is King everything changes. We become His active ambassadors, sharing His gospel.
