Weekend Messages - Audio

There is THE Church, and there are local expressions of that church - local churches. Even with different traditions, beliefs and personalities, there is an organic, spiritual connection. Together globally or in a local assembly like this one, we are the church; we are the temple of the living God. He is here with us and in us.

Everyone else may have missed it, but the disciples didn’t. And here we are, 2000 years later, still talking about what they did and how God used them even in the midst of all of the failure of their generation.

When it comes to Jesus Christ, don’t just LEAN IN; FALL IN behind the King.

The story today is the setting for Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. All 4 Gospels tell this story – big deal! Here, Luke focuses on Jesus sending his disciples to find a donkey’s colt on which he would ride into the city.

You can’t grow without this type of tension, but neither can you grow if you fail to deal with it – how do you respond? LEAN IN! Today, tension between talking about being faithful and actually being faithful, or being tempted to give up being faithful (Elijah).

If you want to connect with God, getting close to Jesus doesn’t eliminate tension, stress and problems in your life! In fact, God wants to use those very things to deepen and strengthen you in the process of transformation.

‘No More Hiding’ is the theme for this Easter as Jeff Adams will walk us through Hebrews 4:15-16. We’ll talk about how Jesus invites us to take off the mask and come boldly before him, just as we are.

Are you afraid? You should be! That means you’re human. It was just suffering and no more …But there is hope and encouragement, because our suffering also has divine purpose.

Luke 18:35-43, when we read this story we often emphasize the blind man to whom Jesus restores his sight as a picture of salvation by faith. All true! But I want to challenge you to see a deeper perspective consistent with the context.

Luke 18:28-30. It's not about giving up, it's about trading up for a relationship with Jesus.
