Village Church East: Sermons

Do you ever feel like you are alone? We are more than conqueror but we may not feel like it. But no matter what we feel like, Christ always leads us in trumphal procession. God deeply cares about your emotional state. Even though darkness seems to hide Jesus' face, we know that He is still in charge. No matter what happens, Jesus has already won.

When we forgive it opens the gospel and when we don't forgive it tends to hurt others. Gorgiveness replaces sorrow with joy. 2 Corinthians 2:8 is a testimony to how we deal with "chipped windshields." This Sunday we talk about how we unlock the power of the gospel the fastest when we are open and ready to forgive.

God calls each and every one of us to do hard things, He encourages us all to say things when it even might be hard. Sin must be addressed, things sometimes hurt to say but are necessary to, and we must appreciate the weight of the role God has given us. The church is called to be God's people who do His calling even when it is hard to do.

Freedom is elusive.  Everyone deeply desires it but there are so many snares in life continuing to pull at us stealing away our ability to be truly free.  Jesus defines freedom in very unique terms but, in the end, offers us a way to live life that delivers us to be free indeed.

This Sunday we focus on baptism and how God calls each and every Christian to grow in their faith and become eventually become a "pickle." Each and every life that follows Jesus should show it and we must remember the impact our actions have on others as believers. As we grow in our faith, we must make an effort to show that and demonstrate how to stop being a "cucumber" and become a "pickle."
