Sharing the Reason for the Season | Friendship Evangelism

Barna tells us that the most successful form of evangelism, by a far majority, is friendship evangelism, or the sharing of the gospel that happens in the context of your sphere of influence. Join us this week to not only find out why that is, but to be challenged to step out and begin to engage your sphere. Jesus is worthy of the reward of His suffering!

Sharing the Reason for the Season | Good News of Great Joy

Do you believe that it is right or wrong to share your faith with someone such that it would result in a conversion to Christianity?  Jump in with us this week as we attempt to address this answer in our new Christmas series entitled, "Sharing the Reason for the Season."  

Sin & Your Identity | You Can Do It

You have the God of the impossible living on the inside of you.  If other people can muster the self denial, self-discipline, and the courage to face their mountains, surely you who have the Holy Spirit can conquer your current struggle!  

Sin and Your Identity | Set Free From Sin

Romans 7 is often used as a proof text for a doctrine that says that we are all just sinners saved by grace. If the Apostle Paul struggled as he did over sin, so the theory goes, then it justifies our own struggles. But we can't throw out everything that Paul said in chapter 6, which is what we would have to do to come to that conclusion. Find out this week what Paul was really talking about and discover the freedom that Christ died to see you walk in.

Sin & Your Identity | Did You Die?

Did you know that you died with Christ?  Is that just something we say or did something really happen?  What exactly died?  Listen this week as we plunge into Romans 6 to discover what really happened to us the day we said yes to Jesus.  Spoiler alert:  God rewrote your code!   

Sin & Your Identity | Life & Godliness

Jesus accomplished way more in His death, burial, and resurrection than just to get you to Heaven some day, and our justification resulted in more than just being pardoned of our crimes.  We were actually restored to the image of God and made to be partakers of His divine nature.  Listen this week as we jump into 2Pet.  and explore these truths.  

Sin and Your Identity | Acquitted

If I am truly guilty of sin, and the bible is clear that I am, and the judge acquits me, he doesn't actually take away my guilt.  He simply removes my punishment.  And this is where much of the church has arrived.  I am a sinner saved by grace, they say.  This week we press into Romans 5 to excavate some of the benefits, not our acquittal, but of our full justification.  You aren't going to want to miss this! 

Sin & Your Identity | All Have Sinned

This week we take a turn in the Sin & Your Identity series, away from specific sins like judgment and gossip that seem to run rampant,  towards the broader reality of sin & our identity, with the aim to answer the question, Am I a sinner or a saint?
