People want miracles. Jesus wants disciples.

We have reached the most crucial aspect of church life: how does Christ operate through us, the church? By what means does He accomplish this work? How are we equipped to effectively engage in ministry? Discern emphasizes the essential need to be connected to Christ as the Head, understanding the gifts He has placed within the body and the purpose of the saints in performing the work of ministry.

Luke 19:1-10

If you have God's word… turn with me to Exodus 33. And this morning… I want to talk to you about this subject: "Knowing The Ways of God". Now in this passage of scripture…Moses is facing a great task. And because of the great task he's facing…he goes to the Lord in prayer….and he prays a special prayer! And that's what we have here before us this morning.

This sermon outlines a strategy for protecting marriages from spiritual and relational storms through preventive maintenance rather than reactive repair. The speaker identifies four essential pillars for weatherproofing a union: unity of purpose, total commitment to Christ and each other, endurance in the face of trials, and humility rooted in grace. By viewing marriage as a fortress built on biblical principles, couples are encouraged to cultivate shared spiritual disciplines and seek counsel within the Christian community. The message emphasizes that enduring love requires daily effort, selfless service, and the rejection of pride and contempt. Ultimately, the goal is to create a resilient bond that glorifies God and withstands inevitable conflicts through steadfast faith and mutual submission.

We need the imputed righteousness of God in Christ Jesus to rule and reign in life, which justifies us placing us in right standing with God. Having been made free from sin, we become slaves of righteousness, whereas we should no longer serve sin, but yield our members to righteousness to do good works glorifying God, presenting our bodies as living sacrifices unto Him. Being dead to the law, having been redeemed by the blood of Christ, resurrected in Him as new creation to walk in the newness of life.
