The Connection Church

Many believe that if you are blessed, you have been fortunate or lucky to have something: health, love, fame, fortune, talent, etc. But, is being blessed a matter of fortune or luck? What does it really mean to be blessed? As Christians, should we seek to be blessed? We will answer these questions and more as we start a brand new series on the Biblical concept of being blessed.

From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, Jesus goes from being ushered in like a king to being crucified like a criminal, and then ultimately overcoming the grave. We'll take a look at six individuals who had Encounters with Christ during His final week, and how that could have impacted their lives.

If you could live without fear, what would you do? Who could you be? Fear does not need to hold a grip on your life, nor does it need to chart the course of your life.

The Bible says that he that endures to the end shall be saved. This principle is expressed throughout the Word of God. Faith that endures to the end shall receive the reward. Like many of the men and women of the Bible, sometimes we have to keep the faith for a long time before seeing the blessing. Learn how to "keep the faith" until the expected end comes.

In the final part of our sermon series, The Gospel, we will talk about being a citizen of the Kingdom of God, and what it means to be blessed by Him.

As Christians, it's important to really know and understand the magnitude of what Christ has done for us. He sacrificially died for us and then rose again, and now he makes intercession for us at the right hand of the Father. It is equally vital for us to respond in the right way to this sacrificial act of love.

The four core truths of the gospel are vital for every Christian to know and understand. As we go deeper into each core truth, our hearts become more grateful and full of awe because of what Jesus has done for us. We also gain a greater level of confidence when we share the gospel with others.

The second part of the sermon series, The Gospel.

The gospel of Jesus Christ stands at the very center of Christianity. However, there are many different things that come to people’s minds when they are asked, "What is the gospel?" This is because many Christians make assumptions about what the gospel is without hearing the Bible’s clear and definitive voice. Even though the gospel can be explained in a variety of ways, there are several core truths of the gospel that every believer should know and understand.
