Seizing Our Moment
19 november 2017 · 50 min
Unlike Esther, who was not confident her life would be saved if she obeyed God, we know how the story ends: God wins. The only question is whether or not we’re willing to follow God’s purpose for our lives and be a part of what he is doing in the world. Lees meer

The 5 Laws of Sowing and Reaping
12 november 2017 · 46 min
As we finish strong in our two-year Multiply faith journey, it’s timely to take a look at a passage in Galatians 6 that speaks to the principle of sowing and reaping. We’ll look at how God multiplies in kingdom fruit what we offer to him with open hands and how our money infallibly reveals what we worship. Lees meer

Freed to Love
5 november 2017 · 45 min
Paul ends his letter to the Galatians by tying together his two main concerns of gospel integrity and relational unity and giving a litany of practical applications—not a list of things to do but out-workings of what has been done for us through Jesus Christ. Lees meer

Freed to Be Alive
29 oktober 2017 · 48 min
One of the familiar themes from Galatians is the finished work of Jesus and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. Paul wants us to understand that sin will lose its grip on our lives when we focus less on limiting the power of sin—the desire to do the opposite of the fruit of the Spirit—and more on the growing presence of God in our lives. Only when we soak ourselves in the love of Jesus and what he did for us will we really come alive and bear fruit. Lees meer

Freed from the Law, for the Law
15 oktober 2017 · 48 min
In this message, Pastor J.D. talks about the ongoing uses for the law in our lives and learn how being justified by faith actually drives us in devotion back to the law and gives us the desire to obey out of love for God our Father.

Freed to Change
8 oktober 2017 · 48 min
Have you ever been at a point where you wondered why, even after becoming a Christian, you still feel unhappy or you can’t find peace or satisfaction or you just can’t make a relationship work? In his letter to the Galatians, which we’ll continue studying this weekend, the Apostle Paul explains why we can’t just think of salvation as simply Jesus Christ paying our sin debt. We have to recognize that sin leaves us not only guilty before God but also unable to live the Christian life, and the only way we can grow is in the same way we started in the Christian life: through faith in Christ’s finished work.

A Freedom That Could Only Come From God
17 september 2017 · 48 min

A Freedom Worth Fighting For
10 september 2017 · 45 min

Get to Work
3 september 2017 · 38 min
Many of us suffer from something that we often cannot see in its entirety in ourselves: an undisciplined life. The book of Proverbs gives us a lot of instruction and rebuke to those of us that find ourselves neck deep in indiscipline.

Life is Absurd…Now What?
27 augustus 2017 · 44 min
"Eat, drink, and be merry” may not sound like sound biblical instruction, but that often seems like Solomon’s main point in the book of Ecclesiastes. God wants his people to "eat, drink, and be merry", but that is not the end of it. Solomon is speaking from the perspective of one who, like us, lives under the sun. In this message, Pastor J.D. looks at the conclusions drawn in Ecclesiastes and how they should shape the lives of us as believers, who know there is much more to look forward to over the sun.

It’s All Gone to Hevel
20 augustus 2017 · 52 min
Ecclesiastes makes no apologies for its blunt talk about the senselessness of living. In this message, Pastor J.D. looks at several ways Solomon experienced this absurdity but also what we should do while we are under the sun in light of our eternal perspective and what we know to be true over the sun. Lees meer

You're Not the Hero
13 augustus 2017 · 38 min
Our default mode is to "be better", "do more", and "try harder" in order preserve and provide for ourselves and our families. But in Psalm 127, we are reminded that we will only experience the true rest that God promises when we embrace our true role and trust in him, because he has already provided for us. Lees meer

How to Bring a Good Man Down...and Back Again
6 augustus 2017 · 46 min

In this message, Pastor J.D. takes a look at what brings a good man, even the world’s wisest man, down and what we can learn from his mistakes. Lees meer

Fruit of Repentance
11 juni 2017 · 38 min
One of the greatest misconceptions about the church is that we don't sin very much. We often live superficial lives of fake smiles. Sadly, over time God's people have learned to hide sin and sorrow. But the church is not a showcase of Colgate smiles. It's a hospital for sinners. Lees meer

Malachi: Healing Love
4 juni 2017 · 46 min
In Malachi we see how the cycle of Israel’s persistent unfaithfulness is mirrored in many people’s lives today. Though they keep trying harder and doing more religious things, Malachi reminds them—and us—that we cannot do more to make a way for our reconciliation with God but that he would send someone who would do it for us.

Habakkuk: Hope-Giving Love
28 mei 2017 · 43 min
Can you think of a more common question being cried out in the midst of a difficult season of life than “How am I going to make it through this?” Maybe that’s the cry of your heart today. Or maybe you’re wondering where God is in your pain or how what you’re going through is fair. We’ve all asked these questions at some point in our lives. Lees meer
As you read through Habakkuk, consider this: Habakkuk’s hope came from remembering what God had done for Israel in the past and repeating what he knew to be true about God. Where does your hope come from?

Amos: Unpopular Love
21 mei 2017 · 44 min
If Amos were a modern-day prophet, he would be equally unpopular in our midst, because he could point out the same truths about our culture and even some uncomfortable truths about the church. But we’ll learn from this Minor Prophet that when we start treating sin lightly, we don’t take God seriously. And if we don’t start taking sin seriously, we’ll never experience the presence of God in our lives. Lees meer

Joel: Only One Thing Is Wrong
14 mei 2017 · 46 min
The book of Joel has some pretty vivid imagery that helps us picture how devastating the power of sin is and yet how life-giving God’s law is when it takes root in our hearts. We discover that, like the Israelites, the locusts eating away at our lives are actually God’s mercy. He wants us back, and he’ll bring us to the end of ourselves if that’s what it takes for us to turn from sin and be restored to him. Lees meer
-
Hosea: Scandalous Love
7 mei 2017 · 41 min

Gods That Never Existed To Begin With
23 april 2017 · 46 min
One of the main ways Satan tries to deceive us is by getting us to believe in a distorted view of God that inevitably lets us down and destroys our faith. We see that our view of God can’t be real, and we reject the real God in the process. Lees meer
We finish up the “Unknown God” series by looking at some of the most common false gods that Satan uses today to throw us off in our pursuit of the real God—the God who can be known and who is not silent. He is the voice calling out in creation and revealed to us by Jesus. And when we encounter him, our lives will never be the same.

Back to The Beginning
2 april 2017 · 41 min
Ephesus is the only church in the Bible where we see the beginning, middle, and end of the church. Somewhere along the way, this awesome church became just a part of history...they faded away and ceased to exist. And if that happened to them, couldn’t that happen to us? Lees meer

God's Laboratories
19 maart 2017 · 50 min
Paul wants us to understand in Ephesians 5:21 that walking in light, love, and wisdom includes “submitting to one another in the fear of Christ.” It’s also a transition into his discussion on gospel-centered relationships, where he shows us three ordinary relationships—in marriage, family, and work—where we can practice submission and, in doing so, grow in love and as a disciple.
