Shaping Your Soul Week 4: April 6th 2025

In this sermon, we're challenged to embrace selfless generosity as a core aspect of our faith journey. Drawing from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, we're reminded that true generosity emulates God's example of self-sacrifice. Just as Christ gave himself for us, we're called to live selflessly, not just in our actions, but in our very being. This isn't about begrudgingly giving our time, talent, or treasure, but about allowing God to transform us from the inside out. We're encouraged to adopt a posture of thanksgiving, recognizing that we can't be both grateful and selfish simultaneously. This message invites us to reflect on how we can live as 'children of light,' bringing God's goodness into every aspect of our lives and relationships.

Shaping Your Soul Week 3: March 31 2025

Today, we explored the profound story of Jesus as a 12-year-old in the temple, found in Luke 2:41-52. This narrative offers us a unique glimpse into Jesus' childhood and His growing understanding of His divine identity. The key lesson here is about priorities and obedience - not just for children, but for all of us. We saw how Mary and Joseph made it a priority to expose Jesus to godly community, annually traveling to Jerusalem for Passover. This dedication to spiritual growth is something we're called to emulate in our own lives and families. The passage challenges us to consider: What are our priorities? Are we setting godly examples for those around us? Just as Jesus was found in His Father's house, are we making God's presence a central part of our lives? This story reminds us that our actions often speak louder than our words, especially when it comes to spiritual matters. We're encouraged to live out our faith in a way that not only honors God but also guides others towards Him.

Shaping Your Soul Week 2: March 23 2025

In this week’s message, we explore the profound concept that we all worship someone or something. The key spiritual lesson is recognizing that true, genuine worship should be directed towards God alone. We delve into Acts 2, examining the early church's devotion to worship, fellowship, and mission. This scripture highlights the transformative power of communal worship and the importance of putting God at the center of our lives. An interesting parallel is drawn between God setting a spiritual table for us and our need to show up with an appetite for His presence. This message challenges us to reflect on what truly sits on the throne of our hearts. Are we filling ourselves with worldly distractions, or are we open to receiving what God has prepared for us? As we consider this, we're encouraged to view our daily lives through a lens of worship, finding reasons to be thankful in all circumstances. This perspective shift can radically change how we interact with the world around us, making our faith journey a continuous act of worship.

Shaping Your Soul Week 1: March 9 2025.

In this powerful exploration of prayer, we're invited to examine our approach to communicating with God. The central message revolves around Jesus' teachings in Matthew 6, particularly the Lord's Prayer. We're challenged to move beyond ritualistic or self-centered prayer and instead embrace a posture of humility and surrender. The lesson emphasizes that authentic prayer isn't about manipulating God or drawing attention to ourselves, but about aligning our hearts with His will. We're encouraged to view prayer as a transformative experience that changes us, not just our circumstances. The five key elements of prayer highlighted - surrender, dependence, cleansing, release, and deliverance - offer a practical framework for deepening our spiritual connection. This message reminds us that prayer is less about the words we say and more about the heart behind them, urging us to approach God with genuine openness and a willingness to be changed.
