Building on a Firm Foundation
Series: Romans
As the Apostle Paul writes this letter to the churches in Rome, he repeatedly reveals that his primary focus is the Gospel – the Good News regarding Jesus Christ.  The first 7 verses of Romans serve as the addresses on Paul’s envelope. But, he also lays out the basics of what he will spend the rest of the letter detailing.
 
The 3 primary movements of our passage begin with the Messenger & His Message, followed by the Mission & the Mission Field, and throughout it all, Paul makes sure the focus is on the Master.
 
God’s Good News is that we can receive grace and peace as we put our faith in Jesus Christ.

    Graveyard Shift
    Series: (All)
    Some  Psalms talk about God being our help from various problems that surround us.  But what do we do when the problem is not around us but is IN us?  Times when we are “in the depths” (doubts, besetting sin, spiritual dryness, feeling distant from God, etc.)?  Psalm 130 assures us that God is our deliverer in these times as well!
     
    When a shadow is over your soul, there is hope.

    A Tale of Two Sisters
    Series: Mother's Day
    Luke’s Gospel tells of a time when Jesus visited two sisters, Mary & Martha.  The passage serves as a lesson in priorities.  From the start we see that we have a choice as to how we will spend time with Jesus.  Secondly, serving Christ is a good thing, but, serving Christ with the wrong focus leads to frustration.  Finally, Jesus gently suggests that personal time with the Lord should be our priority.  
     
    In it all, we need to be sure we focus on what’s important, not just what’s immediate - make personal time with the Lord your priority.

    Stay in Your Lane & Follow Jesus
    Series: John
    With the closing verses of the Gospel of John, Jesus reminds Peter that no matter what else happens in life, his goal should be to follow the Lord.  We can trust Christ for our future - We should follow Christ without comparing ourselves to others - We can trust that Christ is coming back - and We can trust the reliability of God's Word.
     
    We can trust and follow the Lord in everything, even when we don't understand it all.

    Overcoming Failure
    Series: John
    Sometimes the darkness and doubts in our lives can overshadow everything else.  Those times when we come up short leave us feeling like failures.  Yet, the God of all creation loves us, and freely offers us His forgiveness for our every failure.
     
    The Lord lovingly offers to forgive our failures and restore a right relationship between us .

    Dealing with Doubt
    Series: John
    Jesus appears again to His disciples, including Thomas, who was absent on the previous occasion.  Understandably, Thomas was skeptical about Jesus' resurrection.  But, upon seeing Jesus, he believed. This passage helps us see how we can deal with our doubt.  Don’t discourage doubt – encourage evaluation of the evidence – and respond to the rationality of the Christian faith.
     
    Evaluating the evidence will show you the rationality of the Christian faith.

    As the disciples hid in fear behind locked doors, Jesus showed up to encourage them, and to prove to them that He had risen from the dead.  His presence offered them peace, perspective, purpose & power.
     
    The joy of Jesus’ presence prepares us to face life’s challenges.

    What’s Going On Here?
    Series: Easter
    The Bible gives us plenty of information about the first Easter. Because it is so familiar to us, I want to encourage us to ask 3 questions to help us evaluate the events of Easter: 1) Is it real? 2) What does it mean? 3) What do I do with it?
     
    What Easter confirms for us is that Jesus died for your sins and rose again to offer you forgiveness and eternal life with Him.

    Authority Issues
    Series: Easter
    In the middle of Matthew 21, Jesus' authority is challenged by the religious leaders of Jerusalem. However, it was just the day before that three events took place which demonstrated Jesus' authority and Lordship. In considering these, we need to consider our response to Jesus' authority as well.
     
    What we find is that the proper response to Jesus' authority is obedience.

    Distorted Images of God: Weak?
    Looking at four accounts from Luke 8, we see Jesus demonstrate that He is the all-powerful God, exercising authority over nature, the spiritual realm, sickness, and even death.
     
    Christ is more powerful than any crisis.
