As we near the end of our Romans series, we were brought through Romans 8:18-30 to see how our present sufferings are not worth comparing to the future glory God has prepared for His people. As God’s children, suffering is presented as an unavoidable path, but its destination leading to unavoidable glory. And ...
On Sunday, we continued in our sermon series on Romans 8:1-17 to consider how Christians ought to live in the freedom received from Christ Jesus. Paul reminds us that there is no condemnation for those who believe in Christ. Having once been held captive by sin, we have been set free through Jesus who bore our ...
Last Sunday, we looked at Romans 7 to explore the role of the law in the Christian life. Paul reminds followers of Jesus that they are united in His death and resurrection. In Christ, we have died to the law which once held us captive. Through Jesus' sacrifice, we have been released from the law and are now ...
In our ongoing series through Romans 6:15-23, we see how Paul challenges the idea that true freedom allows us to live without restraint or consequences. Paul wants us to see that the Gospel of Jesus does not make us sin more, neither is it a free ticket to continue in sin; but the Gospel instead brings us freedom to ...
In the third sermon of our Romans series, we looked through Romans 6:1-14 to see how believers in Christ Jesus have been set free from the control of sinful nature to live for righteousness. In this passage, Paul refutes erroneous thinking that encourages living in sin as a way to magnify God’s grace. Paul provides two...
This past Sunday, we had the privilege to listen to God’s word preached by one of our deacons, Leandro Ambrosio. As we continued in our sermon series, we were brought through Romans 5:12-21 to explore two relationships that define the destiny of humanity. Paul contrasts mankind’s connection to two key persons.
Picking up from our Romans series last year, we started a new sermon series on Romans 5-8 this past Sunday. Beginning with Romans 5:1-11, we looked at the Christian’s future hope of glory; a future so good and secure that we can rejoice in it even at the present. In a world filled with suffering, we often long for ...
In the final installment of our Matthew 5-7 sermon series, we looked at the ending of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. As Jesus concludes this section, we are left with three parables that challenge us to respond rightly to all that He has taught. In the first parable, we see the way of Jesus symbolized by a narrow gate and ...
On Sunday, we looked through Matthew 7:1-12 to see how disciples of Jesus can learn to live according to the ways of God’s kingdom, navigating life in a fallen world filled with conflict and sin. This section wraps up Jesus’ re-teaching of the law and the prophets, highlighting how righteous living is the outcome and ...
We continued in our sermon series looking through Matthew 6:19-34 to consider where our true treasure lies. Disciples of Jesus are challenged to treasure the right things; not earthly things that will not last, but heavenly treasures that are eternal and secure. Jesus’ teaching helps us to see the connection: what we ...
