Keeping your gaze upward and longing for the appearance of Jesus does something wonderful in the life of a believer. Pastor John reviews three things this does in the life of a believer who is being trained and transformed by the grace of God.

We all have different tasks, different to-do lists. And while the Bible instructs us to do certain things, Christianity is not a to-do list of things for you to work harder on. It's a response to the grace of God. In this message, Pastor John looks at Paul's instructions to all the different life-stage groups that are represented in a church and how the gospel should intersect with each life.

We aren't sanctified day after day by following rules. We are sanctified by following Jesus. In this message, Pastor John looks at the disaster that rule-following and legalism causes. Following rules is debilitating. Following Jesus is liberating and will set you free.

In this message, Pastor John looks at a truth that is foundational to the character of God: He is not a liar. What a wonderful reality that is, since there are so many lies and almost believable cultural myths today. We will look at why God's truth matters and some important applications that will help us live by God's design rather than being shaped by the world's standards.

The church is a body, and like bodies, churches can be healthy or sick. As we begin a series on the vital signs of a healthy church, Pastor John describes how the Holy Spirit works to bring life, power, obedience, and change.

Confident and humble leadership is important. 700 years before the birth of Jesus, the leaders were known for injustice, bribery, and weakness. God filled a prophet named Micah with the Holy Spirit to declare His message that we can be led a different way. A way that removes our fears, clears up our confusion, and forgives our failures.

We were made for work, but the presence of sin and sinners in the world has corrupted the good thing that is work. In this message, Pastor John shares some encouraging words for the sinful Workaholic, the Lazy boy, and the Disillusioned to help us turn ordinary work into something extraordinary.

The purpose of the Bible is to record how God is working out His redemptive plan through human history. God graciously called Abram into a covenant relationship to show that salvation is about God’s blessing rather than man’s effort. During times of confusion, doubt, and uncertainty, we can have confidence that God is at work.

Where do we get a vision to believe that we can move dramatically with the Spirit to evangelize the world? In this message, Pastor John looks at Jesus' "marching orders" to His followers. Let's open our eyes to what God wants us to see!

The Spirit often uses examples in the lives of other people to bring about transformation in our lives. In this message, we will see how gospel of Jesus we have an example to transform our lives to bring about empathy, unity, and humility.
