Whether we would admit it or not, all of us have an authority in life. Something or someone has power over us and rights to the choices we make. The question is not if, but who has the authority? In this message, we see that Jesus Christ has true authority over everything, and two ways we can respond to it.
We know John the Baptist for one main thing: baptizing of course! So what happens when Jesus begins baptizing, and everyone leaves John and heads to Jesus? Instead of becoming jealous, John the Baptist finds great joy. In this message, Pastor Jeremy identifies the secret to Christian joy as 1) living under the grace of God and 2) living for the glory of God.
What are those things you reach for to find happiness in life? Is their something in your life that threatens the spot reserved for God alone? In this message, Mr. Scott Sjoblom takes us back 2,500 years in the book of Haggai to consider Israels complacency, idolatry, and a God who is jealous for their heart to the end.
Knowing the Love of God is essential for life. The Gospel is nothing less than God's unmerited love for us in Christ and then God's love formed in us by Christ. In this message, Pastor Jeremy considers 1) The demonstration of God's love, 2) the misconception of God's love, and 3) the formation of God's love.
What we're seeking in a new year is only fully realized in Jesus. In this message, we learn through Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus to transfer our trust from what a new year can bring to what Jesus can bring to our new year. In this message, Pastor Jeremy teaches about the new life, the new look, the new love, and the whole new lifestyle that Christ came to bring.
