Resurrection Mindset

Philippians 4:4-9 Now that Easter has passed, I want to emphasize how the work of the Resurrection is not over, but represents an ongoing transformation that takes place within us. Specifically, I will highlight Scripture that demonstrates the transformation that takes place in our minds (and mindset) through the work of the Holy Spirit, causing us to think and behave more like Christ.

Feast Together

John 21: 4-14 We will look at the third resurrection appearance of Jesus in John. We will emphasize that Jesus provides and cares for the disciples, and focus on the importance of “table” fellowship; the togetherness and life we find at the table.  Full service link

The Big Reveal

Luke 24: 36-49 The Resurrected Jesus appears to the disciples showing fully who He is. Everything was leading up to this moment. Now that you know, what will you do with it? Full Service Link

Mary Anoints Jesus

John 12: 1-8 Sometimes accepting grace and help is hard. Jesus shows us how to receive a lavish gift. Mary seems to get it, when others don’t and she performs a moving act of worship.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

Luke 13: 6-9 This is really part 2 to last week’s sermon. Repentance means admitting wrong, and changing by taking a step in faith. We will also explore the connection between “bearing fruit” and repentance. God is patient.

Repent or Perish

Luke 13:1-5 The past few weeks have focused on identifying sin, this message will emphasize handling the sin via repentance. Repentance means admitting wrong, and changing by taking a step in faith. We will also explore the connection between “bearing fruit” and repentance.

 A Prophet’s Destiny

 Luke 13: 31-35 In this text Jesus’s pushes through and continues to love and serve Israel (ultimately by going to the cross) even as Israel continually rejects him. We will be challenged to look and see in what ways we are fighting/rejecting what God is doing. Then we will be moved to worship as we realize God pursues us, even as we reject him.   Full service video

The Temptations

Luke 4: 1-13 We will look at the three temptations of Christ and see how they are representative of three of the biggest temptations we face; hedonism, thirst for power, and desire for fame/recognition.

The One Where the Band Breaks Up

Acts 15: 36-41 We will see how Barnabas was a friend willing to speak up and advocate for others, and we will be challenged to do the same. We will also explore the ins and outs of the dispute between Paul and Barnabas and how different values/perspectives can divide us even when we are both “right”.

The One with the Torn Robes

Job 2: 11-13 Friends show up in hard times. The one thing Job’s friends did right was to show up and sympathize with their friend. Sometimes “less is more” when it comes to our words for friends in times of grief. Like a good friend, Jesus is present with us in the hard moments. Full Service
