Six:Eight

This is a PG-13 sermon. We’re going to talk about everyone’s favorite subject today, sex. We’ll be candid, because we need to speak clearly on this subject in church. I’ve done my best to word this in a mature & palatable manner.

This four-week series explores the difficulties of change in the Christian life. Through understanding procrastination, sanctification, and the power of cultivating spiritual habits, we see the life-giving process of change in the Christian life. Change is a part of life; it will either bring us closer to God or take us further away. We will take responsibility to follow God in every season of life.

As we start the new year, let's remember God's grace brings salvation to everyone, giving us the ability to grow in faith and holiness. We can trust in God's grace to grow us in righteousness this year, with assurance of salvation because God is the god of second chances - every new day brings new mercies!

Today we celebrate Christmas...the fact that we were helpless to save ourselves, so God entered our reality in the person of Jesus Christ to save us. As a result of Christmas we live with the confidence of God's presence.

Today we explore the questions, what is PEACE? What does it mean to serve a Prince of Peace?

The testimony of Christ’s life & the power of the Holy Spirit aren’t limited to a select few; all who are in Christ are called into ministry of spreading the gospel - in our homes, in our communities & throughout the world. We don’t have to be trained pastors or teachers in order to share the work God has done in our lives with others.

The call to follow Christ isn’t easy. We’re bound to fail. But God’s call on our lives remains unchanged, and He offers full restoration & forgiveness which empower us to carry on when we fall short. The repentant believer’s never disqualified from serving the Lord; rather, our shortcomings can encourage & equip others who may be facing similar struggles.

As believers, we’ll have times when we’re at odds with the world when we must choose between fear or hope. Just as the two disciples ran to encourage the Eleven in the story we read today, we should be ready to do the same for those sitting in fear or grief when their faith’s been shaken, or when simple misconception holds them back from Jesus.

The story of Christ’s resurrection remains one of the most renown & controversial stories ever told. When sharing the gospel, it’s important to listen & understand how others view Christ based on what they’ve been told.
