Netcast Church exists to bring glory to Jesus by cultivating gospel-centered worshipful communities. So, what are gospel-centered worshipful communities and how do we cultivate them?

Everything that God does, he does for His glorious name. Therefore as believers, we exist to bring glory to God by exalting Jesus. But how?

For the second consecutive year, Pastor Andy Thompson has been Netcast Church's guest speaker on Mother's Day. Pastor Andy is the founding pastor of World Overcomers Christian Church in Raleigh-Durham, NC. He has been a mentor to Pastor Matt and WOCC has been a financial partner of Netcast Church before Netcast first worship service was held on January 23, 2011.

Jesus says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live." It is not intellectualism that brings someone to Christianity. Christianity is when people recognize that without Christ, we are dead. However, if we hear the voice of Jesus and respond to it; we shall live.

Let's not pretend that Jesus didn't make some outrageous claims about himself. In this text He clearly says that he is the ONLY way to the Father and if we don't honor Him than we cannot honor the Father. What should our response be to a claim like that?

Just like the poverty cycle or addiction cycle, there is a cycle of belief. Belief in the Gospel, leads to obedience to Jesus, which leads to a satisfied life, which leads to greater belief.

Many Christians live with a truncated view of the Gospel. We see the gospel as the "door," the way in, the entrance point into God's kingdom. However, the Gospel is so much more! It is not just the door, but also the path we are to walk every day of the Christian life. It is not just the means of our salvation, but the means of our transformation. It is not just deliverance from sin's penalty, but release from sin's power. The Gospel is what makes us right with God (justification) and it is also what frees us to delight in God (sanctification). The Gospel changes everything.

The church does a great job of answering the "What" (Don't do this; do this.) but has historically struggled with answering the "Why". In this sermon we explore not just that Jesus rose from the dead, but why he rose from the dead.

Just like the women at the well, Jesus pursues us. All of humanity is just like this woman; an outcast with feeling of shameful and unworthiness. However Jesus comes to seek and save that which is lost by giving Himself to us an by doing so, fully satisfying our deepest longings.

Most of us have asked the questioned or been asked it ourselves: "why should Christians obey God or do anything godly if they already know they've been forgiven through Christ's death on the cross for all their sins?" Titus 2:11-14 answers this question by showing that the gospel saves us and also compels us to grow in godly obedience to God...not to earn His favor, but because we have His favor through Christ.
