The Holy Spirit ignites local churches to be witnesses in the world for Jesus Christ. How should the church wait and depend on the Spirit? 

The activity of the church toward the world is to be a witness to the person and the work of Jesus Christ. Our witness to the world about Jesus Chirst is ignited by the Holy Spirit.

Spiritual growth is a community project. What should the local church provide so that it is a community of believers growing up in Christ? 

God brings us out of bondage so we can come to worship him - as his people. Worship is the ultimate priority of the church. Let's take a closer look at this most important of ideas. 

The Christian gospel builds and sustains the church. In this sermon we answer the question: what is the gospel? 

Not only does intentional faith, and discerning faith last, but so too does responsive faith. 

In our second message on Jesus' conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns his disciples of false prophets. What is the key to lasting faith? "Discerning faith Lasts." How can we discern true prophets from false; true leaders from false leaders? We look at three false fruits that come from false prophets. "Beware of false prophets..." 

Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount with a call to lasting faith in who he is and what he teaches. He uses three word pictures to help us understand the qualities of a faith that lasts. In this sermon we look at the first word picture - "Enter the narrow gate." 

Don't be so critical, but be a little critical. Jesus teaches his disciples how to strike the balance.
