3/30 Abiding in Christ. John 15:1-17. Someone has said, “Prayer is the arm that moves the hand of God.” That may be true, but you don’t move the hand of God unless you’ve held it for a while. Holding God’s hand for a while is what the Bible calls abiding in Christ. Pastor Barry shares three benefits that come into our lives when we abide in Christ and how, collectively, they result in the fulfillment of God’s purpose for our lives and a faith that keeps on keeping on.
4/6 Changing Your World for Christ. Luke 19:10. What is the purpose of the Church? For over two thousand years the church has existed for only one purpose… to change the world. As a believer you are the Church and as such your purpose is to change your world. In this sermon Pastor Barry will share with you the proven most effective way for you to do this.
TBD What Does Faith Look Like? Genesis 12:2; Hebrews 11: 8. God chooses some unlikely people to fulfill His purposes. Abraham is an example. God wants to build a great nation. He chooses an elderly, infertile couple to populate that nation. Abraham’s story can be described in one word…faith. When God wants to teach us about faith, He tells us a story about a man named Abraham. In this sermon Pastor Barry will share principles gleaned from Abraham’s life that will stir our faith.
TBD God With Us. Exodus 19:4-6 is a huge transitional point in the Bible. Up to this point God interacted with just a few people, but now it’s as if God sends a valentine card to all His people. But for this new relationship to work God says, there are some things that have to be worked out. In this sermon Pastor Barry shares the aspects of God’s covenantal relationship with His people.
TBD It’s so Hard to See When My Eyes are on Me. I Thessalonians 5:15. I One of the greatest challenges we face in the pursuit of fulfillment and happiness is the temptation to live selfishly. Many people are blatantly and unashamedly living for themselves. They have no interest in other people. It’s easy to slip into the trap of selfishness. Live to give and your life will be filled with joy, and when your life is filled with joy your faith will thrive and we will be that much closer to fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives.
