Helping People Experience Jesus in a Life-Changing Way

Infuse | Joy

by

This sermon is part 2 of 9 in the Infuse | Galatians 5:22-24

We are compelled by God’s LOVE and the FREEDOM offered in Jesus to infuse our relationships with the mind of Christ.  As the Spirit of God directs our life, we take on the CHARACTER of the Spirit.  This Fall we will ask God to INFUSE in us the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control of Christ through the Holy Spirit!

Galatians 5:22-24, Luke 10:17-24

Restore Joy!

The fact is always obvious much too late, but the most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid.
-J.D. Salinger

Are quotes like this an excuse to be grumpy Christ followers.  I think so.

“I don’t have to be happy right now, but I have the joy of God.”  Really?

Aren’t joyful people happy?  Isn’t that why you say they are joyful?

You can be one of those people.

Pastor Brad searched the New Testament and found that happy, joy, and blessedness are used interchangeably.  The Joy God gives, by His Spirit, will help you be a happy person.  Listen to this encouraging message to discover how to Restore Joy, the Real McCoy.

Galatians 5

God’s love expression is our freedom possession.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8

God, in Christ Jesus, set us free from the weight of sin and shame.  That is how he showed us His love! How do we demonstrate Love? How can we follow those difficult commands of scripture to “Love our enemies,” to “consider other’s better than ourselves?” We must cultivate love in the soil of our own freedom.  Through our main point, Freedom Possessed is Love Expressed, you will be encouraged to pursue God’s freedom for yourself, so that you can be free to love others.

Empowered Living | Manifestation Gifts Pt. 2

by

This sermon is part 10 of 3 in the Empowered Living

Jesus said, “If you love me, you will obey what I command.”  He asks us to bring light and God flavors into the dark and flavorless hearts of our neighbors.

He knew this assignment would be impossible without power.

The invisible powerful presence of God is available to strengthen, comfort, energize, and lead us to accomplish His purposes.  He gives different gifts to each one of us, that work together to build up, encourage, and equip us  for being His hands and feet, serving the world.

We learn many things from the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible.  We see them experiencing miracles, speaking in strange languages or tongues, and healing diseases.  Many of the apostles or followers of Christ experienced visions, dreams, or encounters with angels that lead them to act, change plans, or behave in certain ways.

During the first century, these common occurrences, were quickly spreading the Good News about Jesus around the world.

Manifestation Gifts Part 2

This week, Pastor Brad continues a study of the Apostle Paul’s writings in 1 Corinthians 12 -14 about the Manifested Gifts of the Spirit that are present today and how they should and shouldn’t be exercised in the church.

Now to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
– 1 Corinthians 12:7

In Part One we learned that God hasn’t asked you to do everything, but he’s gifted you for something.

This week we discuss the following outline:

  • The Gifts are Manifested of the Spirit, and Jesus is the perfection of each of the gifts
    • Prophecy
    • Tongues (Personal Use)
    • Tongues (Public Use)
    • Interpretation of Tongues
    • Discerning of Spirits

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
– 1 Peter 4:10
