It's easy for the church to overcomplicate its mission. In Acts 3, Luke gives us a helpful framework for what it means to live as God's people in this world. The Apostle Peter finds an opportunity to meet the need of someone in his life, and that gave him the opportunity to share with thousands the true need we all have for Jesus.See the people around you, love them, and point people to Jesus. It's easier said than done, but if all Christians were committed to this mission it would change the world.Don't forget to visit www.ericroseberry.com where you can find links to all of Eric's sermons.

We all want to be loved, and we all want to find someone to love. It's on one of the most foundational aspects of finding happiness in this life. However, it's one thing to think about loving another person, but what about when it comes to God? If there is a God, could he really love me? If he does, how can I possibly love him in return? Eric answered these questions in his latest sermon from Deuteronomy 6.If you're enjoying these messages, would you do two things for us?

It's a lot harder to make changes to your life without a goal in mind. If we know the destination we're headed toward, it's easier to decide what specific steps we need to take to keep moving forward. The Bible not only tells us where we're headed personally, but it gives us the destination for all of human history. In light of the fact that Jesus will return in the future, what sort of people should we be? Thank you for listening to the final sermon in our 2 Peter series.

Everyone wants to be happy, but nobody seems to know where to find happiness. In our latest sermon from 2 Peter, the Apostle presents what sounds illogical to most modern ears. True happiness and freedom are found in submission to God. We were made for a relationship with Jesus, and it's only in that context we can find what will satisfy our souls.

If you read through 2 Peter, you'll notice that much of the letter has a heavy tone. It's a pastor pleading with a church to not listen to false teachers who will ultimately lead them away from Jesus. Why was the church interested in this teaching, and what makes false teachers so appealing today? That's the main question will be answering in our latest sermon from 2 Peter. Have a question?

If someone asked you, "What was the most important moment in the life of Jesus?" what would you tell them? You'd probably point to the cross, the resurrection, or maybe one of his miracles. But where would the transfiguration be on that list? As we continue our series in 2 Peter, we discover that the transfiguration was a foundation moment for Peter in helping him understand the person of Jesus. Peter's confidence in the second coming was directly tied to this moment in the life of Christ. After listening, go to ericroseberry.com and send me a message.

The gospel is good news. The announcement that salvation is available by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone is a beautiful message. However, it naturally leads to a question that's been asked for thousands of years. If salvation really is all by grace, if my works don't contribute to it all, then does it really matter how I live? Join us for this second sermon in our series on 2 Peter as we're reminded that God's desire for us is to pursue lives of holiness relying on the grace he's given. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

What we believe really matters because it's the biggest influence on how we actually live. 2 Peter is a needed wake-up call for the church today. In this short letter, Peter pleads with a church to not give in to false teachers who were promoting the idea that human beings could live however they wanted. They based this idea on their belief that Jesus wasn't going to return, and if he isn't coming back then he won't judge us either.

Everyone wants to be strong. We want to be competent. We want to look like we have it all together. However, is it possible this desire is actually keeping is from Jesus? In "Weakness is the Way," we looked at 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, and the pivotal role that weakness plays in a growing relationship with Jesus.If you're finding these sermons helpful, head over to iTunes or wherever you're listening and rate and review the show.
