How to Lose Your Religion

March 31, 2016 by Brad Murphy

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the morning of the first Easter, not only broke the seal of Jesus’ tomb, but it also broke the seal of bondage that religion and sin use to enslave people.

Galatians 2:16 | …we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ…

The True Gospel of Jesus Christ will #SetFREE everyone who repents and believes.  No religious ritual will save you.

Ephesians 2:8-9 | For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 

In this first episode of our series #SetFreeEagle from Galatians you will learn to understand the True Gospel so that you can maintain the true freedom of Christ, in this world.  Here are Three Lessons that will help you lose your religion.

Born of the Spirit | Live Like Jesus Week 4

October 12, 2014 by Brad Murphy

Are you just a Christian, or are you a Christ follower?

In today’s American culture, being a Christian can be nothing like following Jesus.  Christianity has become a religion.  Religion is something that Jesus despised, calling religious people hypocrites and a brood of vipers.

In this series, Live Like Jesus, the Gospel of John, we will explore the Word that became Flesh.  We will uncover the mystery that is following Jesus.  Join us for the journey.

No Religious Expectations

January 28, 2014 by Brad Murphy

This sermon is part 3 of 4 in the Foc|US: Vision for Life

Light the Way.

God has given us a vision to build a community of faith, who follow Jesus and tend to the mission of God: Light the Way, Learn the Truth, Love the Life.

This week Pastor John, asks is the church a Country Club or Hospital.  As he teaches from Luke 6, we uncover one of Jesus stiffest enemies, RELIGION.  As a church family, one of our values is to eliminate religious expectations and encourage grace in Jesus Christ.

No Religious Expectations

  • The title, “Christian,” has come to describe either a religion or a product, that marketing executives are trying to sell.  Christ did not come to start a religion or a business.  Therefore, Eagle LifeChurch is not marketing a religion.   Our goal is to shine the spotlight on Jesus Christ, who initiated a relational, incarnation, movement of grace and servant love.
  • Study it! Matthew 23; Mark 7:1-23; Mark 12:38-20 & Luke 20:45-47; Matthew 6:1-18; Hebrews 4:14-5:1

Listen to Light the Way | No Religious Expectations
January 26, 2014 | Pastor John Wilkie
Luke 6:1-19; Matthew 23
