The deep longing that we have for love can only be satisfied by the love that is deeply rooted in Christ.

This sermon by Josh Sizemore explores the biblical concept of peace, focusing on peace with God, peace within ourselves, and peace with others. It highlights how Christ reconciles us to God, restores our inner lives, and calls us to live in unity with those around us.

As God’s children, we can face our trials with joy knowing that He can use the circumstances of life to shape us into the people he wants us to be.

Jesus is our living hope, and what he secures for us in eternity gives us perspective to live here and now.

Acts 2 brings us to the powerful beginning of a whole new reality, namely, the birth of the church of Jesus Christ. Here we see that when the Holy Spirit Came at Pentecost, the Body of Christ came alive!

In Acts 1:12-26, the apostles and the other followers of Jesus are faced with a period of waiting, and while they wait they demonstrate important characteristics that defined their waiting. What we will find is that God’s people commit to what HE said while waiting for what HE will do. This message looks at 5 characteristics that marked the early church while they were waiting for God to move in hopes that we, as God’s people today, will adopt the same characteristics.

The ascension is the affirmation by God that the accomplishments of Jesus are complete.

God always fulfills his promises, and the promise of The Holy Spirit is for every believer.

Jesus’ finished work on the cross is just the beginning of His ongoing work in the church! Jesus began His work on Earth, but beyond His resurrection, ascension, and enthronement, He remains in control and continues building His church, just as He had promised.
