As followers of Jesus, our testimony is that we are dead to sin and are now alive to God. But what does that mean? This week, Brian Barr continued in our series Disciple: Conform, looking at how we conform to the likeness of Jesus by fighting sin in our lives. Before becoming a Christian, we were enslaved to sin. But when we turn to Jesus, our old self dies and we experience freedom from the power of sin and walk in the newness of life in Christ! It doesn't mean we are incapable of sinning, but that we are free from sin’s dominion in our lives. Now we fight against the temptation to sin and present ourselves to God as instruments of righteousness. Walking in the grace of God means that we accept that Jesus has both forgiven and cleansed us! We are no longer dirty and full of shame. We are given the Holy Spirit who empowers us to walk in victory over sin and gives us new desires for righteousness.

In today’s culture, we desire to pursue lives that are comfortable and problem-free. But the reality is that as Christians, we live in wartime. This week, Brian Barr continued in our Disciple: Conform series looking at how we stand against the schemes of the enemy. When we choose to follow Jesus, we also gain an enemy who works against us to make us ineffective and cause us to disbelieve God’s truth. Scripture tells us to stand against the schemes of the Devil. We aren't told to win or achieve victory, we are told to stand because Jesus has already won the decisive victory. We don’t have to be afraid because God’s victory over Satan is final. But while we live in this in-between time where we are waiting for Jesus to return and make all things new, we must continue to stand against the enemy's tactics to tempt, deceive, accuse, intimidate, and divide. We resist him by strengthening ourselves in the Lord.

Happy Easter, OneLife! Jesus is risen and we have much to celebrate! In this Easter message, Brian Barr encourages us to not just believe in Jesus’ resurrection, but to also live out a resurrection life. Jesus rose from the dead so that all who believe in Him can be spiritually resurrected to new life! All the ways we celebrate Easter are wonderful, but the best and most honoring way we can celebrate Easter is by living in the resurrection life that Jesus offers. The reality in our country today is that many people are no longer identifying as Christian. People are realizing that having the label of “Christian” is of no value if it doesn’t come with the transformed life Jesus called His disciples to live. Genuine followers of Jesus must not merely acknowledge the fact of the resurrection, but live the newness of life that Jesus offers. Our old self, with all of its sin, has died with Him. Now we are a new creation living in the empowerment of the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead! Are you truly living a resurrection life?

As followers of Jesus, God’s intention is for us to conform to the likeness of Jesus in every area of life - including our minds. This week, Brian Barr continued our Disciple series talking about renewing our minds. There is a war waging for our souls. Our enemy’s biggest goal is to get us to believe lies about God that lead us to reject Him in favor of living independent, self-focused lives. Every lie we believe, we also live. And every lie we live leads to destruction. This is why God tells His followers “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Romans 12:2). God wants us to be set free from lies by the power of His truth. We must engage in the process of rooting falsehoods out of our minds and positioning ourselves to be transformed by God’s truth. We do this by surrendering our heart to Jesus, continually exposing ourselves to God’s truth, and depending on the help of the Holy Spirit.

What is God’s vision for your life? Many Christians wonder about this question, but God clearly tells us in His Word that He has one goal for our lives - that we be conformed into likeness of His Son Jesus (Romans 8:28-29). This week, Brian Barr kicked off a new sermon series covering the second “C” in OneLife’s grid for what it means to be a disciple of Jesus - Conform. As followers of Jesus, we are called to give our lives completely to following Jesus and becoming like Him in every area of our lives. We are not to be mere church attenders. We must leave our infantile ways, and grow up into maturity in Christ. But for that to happen, we must focus our lives on Jesus. Too often Christians focus on themselves when it comes to change. The first step to truly becoming like Jesus is to come to Him. We must learn to abide with Jesus, and to fix your eyes on Him. True transformation will happen when our aim and our focus is set on the person God intends for us to be conformed to.

Do you have something worth celebrating in your life? This week, Jeremy Little finished our sermon series through the book of Esther. The Jews in this last chapter inaugurate a celebration of Purim to remember the deliverance of the Jews from the plot of Haman. As followers of Jesus, we also have much to celebrate! We have experienced the greatest reversal of all time - we were once far from God, but through Jesus we are made children of God and after death, we are given life with Him forever! Our joy isn't a fleeting emotion, but a deeply rooted truth that supersedes circumstances. Our appropriate response to the work of Jesus should be a life marked by celebration and joy!

Ever wonder why evil continues in the world? And why the innocent continue to suffer under the hand of the wicked? This week Brian Barr continued in our series through the book of Esther with the demise of Haman and the exaltation of the Jewish people. As followers of Jesus, we can trust God for final justice and a future day where He will overcome all evil! The story of Esther reassures us that God is able to turn situations around unexpectedly to bring about joy, honor, and victory for His people. We might not see every reversal in this lifetime, but we can be sure that our God will not let the wicked go unpunished and that He will turn around all the suffering we endure for our good and His glory.

Is your response to trials and hardships an acknowledgment of your weakness and a reliance on God’s strength? This week, Chris Nagel continued our series in Esther. Haman’s pride brought about humiliation, in contrast, through Esther’s humility to pray and fast for the freedom of their people, God showed up powerfully to bring about change that would not have been possible apart from Him. It's in our weakness that we become reliant on God to empower us and it’s through our weakness that God is glorified all the more! We have to fight against egotism and pride in our hearts that prevents us from seeing the power of God through us. Let us be people who are prayerfully dependent on God and exercise courageous obedience to step into the areas He calls us.

Are you willing to be used by God, even if it’s a risk to your position, status, influence or income? Following Jesus is a recognition that our lives are meant to be poured out for others. This week, Brian Barr continued our series through the book of Esther looking at the pivotal moment when Esther agrees to go before the king to save her people. While the name of God isn't mentioned in the book, God’s activity is undeniable. God placed Esther in a place of prominence - with fame, beauty, favor and wealth - to be strategically used to save her people. Likewise, we are strategically placed by God in our workplaces, neighborhoods and families to be used by God and to live sacrificially for those around us. We follow Jesus’ example of great sacrifice on our behalf and extend His love and care for others.

This week, we had the privilege of having Jeremy Simpkins with us from England who brought a prophetic message of purpose for our current season as a church. As a fletcher crafts an arrow by choosing a stick, shaping it, sanding it down, stretching it straight, and oiling it; God also chooses us, readies us and pours his Spirit into us so that we can be sent out like arrows into the world. God isn’t just gathering us - He is shaping us to be sent for His purposes. And the way God shapes us is through adversity. If you are feeling stretched and sanded down by the afflictions of this world, know that God is using it to shape you and prepare you to be used for His kingdom!
