080-01 :: Born This Way Part 01 :: Boys and Girls
In this message, Pastor Jeff takes on the challenge of starting a new series to address gender differences from a biblical point of view.

079-04 :: Simplify Part 04 :: Fourth
If God has given me victory or success in any of these things to any degree, I should pass it on to others. Being part of Jesus’ disciple-making process means to start simply with what he has done for me and who he has made me to be. From that, I can begin to bless others.
In this Family Sunday, . . .
079-03 :: Simplify Part 03 :: Third
To assume that we can love God and love others without actually having to endure personal change is naive at best. Sin has caused us all to think of ourselves first, but the sister lie to pride is that we should ignore ourselves altogether. No, true humility is understanding the ways to invest in myself so tha . . .
079-02 :: Simplify Part 02 :: Second
The second greatest command of all time, according to Jesus, is to love your neighbor as yourself. Of course, the problem with that command is that it bases my love not only on my understanding of who my neighbor might be but also on what it means to love “as myself.”

079-01 :: Simplify Part 01 :: First
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.—Matthew 6:33
There’s an order to life. There is an inherent priority to the way the world has been designed. Our problem is that we try to live by our own priorities and then wonder why things don’t work out . . .
078-03 :: He Came Part 03 :: Son
We didn’t know we needed a son. You wouldn’t be able to figure that one out on your own, but we needed a son. One like us who stands in the place of God for us. More than prophet, a SON who comes representing the Father. More than a priest, a SON who is God in Flesh standing before us. When the time had fully come, God sent a S . . .
078-02 :: He Came Part 02 :: Priest
God wanted direct personal relationship with his people, but his holiness and their sinfulness made it so that a mediator was needed. Moses was the prophet. Aaron was the priest.
Moses died and the priesthood was corrupted. Moses prophesied that there would be another prophet, but what about the problems . . .
078-01 :: He Came Part 01 :: Prophet
Moses said that God would raise up a prophet like him, and indeed there were many prophets, but none fit the bill as well as Jesus. Throughout the Bible, there is a recurring theme of a prophet who fulfills part of the prophecy but not all. Also, men like David and Isaiah seem intent on pointing to the future ful . . .

077-06 :: DOGMA Part 06 :: Regeneration
All people are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. Those who repent of their sins and surrender their lives to Jesus are regenerated by the Holy Spirit (John 1:12-13, John 3:3, 16-17, Acts 20:21, Ephesians 2:1-9, Titus 3:5).

077-05 :: DOGMA Part 05 :: Holy Spirit (w/ Live Q&A)
The Holy Spirit is the mysterious and often forgotten third member of the Trinity. Some churches emphasize the role of the Spirit above nearly everything else including the Bible. Some churches emphasize the Bible and every other doctrine while effectively ignoring the Holy Spirit. Some debate on what role the Ho . . .
077-04 :: DOGMA Part 04 :: Jesus Christ (w/ Live Q&A)
How well do you know Jesus? The fundamental truths about Jesus are just as complex and sometimes confusing as the doctrine of the Trinity itself, but understanding who Jesus is forms the foundation for everything in the Christian faith. After all, we call ourselves “Christians” because we follow Jesus Chr . . .
