Disciples of the Next Generation

Matthew 28:16-20
Kaylee Andrews

View

Do you ever feel something more is needed in your spiritual life? Something more than you’re currently experiencing? The answer to that need might actually not be something, but Someone.

Perhaps the most neglected teaching in the mainstream Church today is the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Francis Chan once said, “If I were Satan and my ultimate goal was to thwart God’s kingdom and purposes, one of my main strategies would be to get churchgoers to ignore the Holy Spirit.” There is so much more to the Christian life than we’ve been led to believe.

Walking in the Spirit

Galatians 5:22-23
Jeff Coleman

We are called to walk in the Spirit, but this can’t happen until we first have surrendered our life to the Spirit’s leading and control. Experiencing the “indwelling of the Holy Spirit” should not be an unusual or weird occurrence. Rather, the Spirit’s work in our life is about increasing the quality of holy love and deepening our own spiritual maturity. There is no need for our lives to run on empty if we are willing to yield control to God’s infilling presence.

Jeff Coleman

Greater Things Through the Spirit

John 16:1-15
Jeff Coleman

Jesus desires for us to do greater things than he did? Wait?! How can this be true? The church of Jesus Christ when empowered by the Holy Spirit, we will be able to do more collectively than Christ could’ve done individually. Today we examine two practical steps we can take to see this reality play out in our lives.

Prayed For By The Spirit

Romans 8:26-30
Jeff Coleman

The Holy Spirit is our Advocate and Helper. Jesus said he would send us help and that He would never leave us. Thus, the Spirit of God is praying for us and is here to help us.

Empowered by the Spirit

Acts 1:8
Brian Butcher

If the Holy Spirit gives us power, what is it for? It may not be exactly what you think. The good news is that if you’ve encountered Jesus, you have a story to share. God will help each of us share how His story has changed our story. As we address the challenges in sharing our faith, we anchor ourselves with one key idea: we are all witnesses.

Encounter The Spirit

Acts 2:1-12
Jeff Coleman

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. The Spirit isn’t a force, feeling, or reserved for those deemed to be “super saints.” The Spirit of God leads, guides, and teaches us as He lives within us. The Holy Spirit is what makes it possible for us to follow Christ and to live as his faithful followers. Our Triune God longs for us to encounter Him through the work and person of the Holy Spirit.

Our view of Jesus is often too small. Some people outside the church reduce Jesus to a zealot or a moral teacher, while some Christians view him only as a necessary sacrifice or a nice moral example. All of these views fall short of seeing Jesus for who He really is—the Son of the Most High God, the Risen Christ and the Lord of All.

Enter the book of Hebrews. Through this powerful New Testament book, we gain the proper view of the Risen Jesus. His importance is clear. His primacy is unquestionable. Most of all, we discover Jesus is Greater than anything.

Jesus Is Greater: The Cross

Hebrews 10:19-25
Jeff Coleman

The Cross of Jesus is provocative. What was once a means of capital punishment was used by God to radically restore the relationship between Creator and creation. We are not merely forgiven by the Cross of Christ, but also enabled to have intimacy with God and provoked to serve the world around us with Christ-like love.

Jesus is Greater: Week 5

Hebrews 9:11-28
Brian Butcher

Do you ever feel like you’re walking on eggshells with God? Sometimes, even when we know better, we still make choices that we know aren’t God’s intended best for our lives. We can often feel stuck in a cycle of sin, shame, repentance, repeat. But what if God wanted a different kind of relationship with us? As we continue our series, Jesus is Greater, we look at what Jesus did so we can get out of this shame cycle.

Jesus is Greater: Terms & Conditions

Hebrews 8:6-13
Jeff Coleman

God’s Old Covenant had rules and sacrifices, but Jesus changed it all with a new promise, sealed by his sacrifice. This promise is about change and closeness with God. God’s forgiveness and love are the basis, not our actions, work, or effort. The New Covenant is not based on what we do but what God does for us. Our response is to trust and follow Christ.

Jesus is Greater: Week 3

Hebrews 4:14-5:10
Brian Butcher

The priests of Israel were the people meant to represent God to his people and the people to God. Yet, these priests fail to live up to their high calling again and again. Israel, and we, stood in need of a better representative, a better mediator so that we could live in right relationship with God. As we continue this series, we explore how Jesus is greater than the priesthood of Israel and how we now are called to be representatives of God to the world.

Jesus is Greater: Faithful Beyond Measure

Hebrews 3:1-6
Jeff Coleman

Our society has seen a rise in the power of people being influencers. Everyone, however, can influence and yet, there is no greater influence in our world than the person of Jesus Christ. When we keep our focus on Christ and allow his influence to guide our lives, by His Spirit, we won’t find ourselves drifting away from His truth regardless of the circumstances we’re experiencing.

Jesus is Greater: Majesty

Hebrews 1:1-14
Jeff Coleman

The book of Hebrews isn’t written to super saints, but to those who know the hardships of life. The writer tells us that Jesus is greater than any struggle or difficulty. Jesus is greater than any person or issue and that God has always been communicating with His people. The greater question is do we want to hear what the Lord is saying and will we follow Him when He calls.

View

Two simple words: Follow Me. Jesus spoke these words in several settings to invite real people to exchange their plans for His plans. These words spoken to 12 men 2,000 years ago changed the world.

Today, we are given the same invitation: “Follow Me.” It’s an invitation to real life. The life God created you to live. This “exchange” is often costly and difficult, but the reward of following Christ is being close to Jesus Himself. No matter who you are or what you have previously believed, Jesus invites you to follow Him.

Easter Sunday

Mark 16:1-8
Jeff Coleman

If we are given a choice, we prefer things that are full over being empty. Full sounds positive; empty sounds negative. Empty implies want and need, whereas full suggests abundance and blessing. Yet, the emptiness of the tomb on the first Easter implies that Christ’s Resurrection is not for those who consider themselves “full,” but instead, for those who know they are “empty” and need to be filled.

Follow Me: Week 6

Mark 11:1-11
Brian Butcher

As Jesus enters into Jerusalem he’s given a king’s welcome. Crowds of people plead that the messiah would save them from Rome’s oppressive rule. Jesus has a different idea in mind, and shows us that Jesus is the king we need.

Follow Me: Week 5

Mark 13:1-8
Jeff Coleman

Knowing that his time is short. Jesus urges his disciples to stay awake and to remain focused on those things that are most important. If we are going to follow Christ in today’s world we must keep watch and be vigilant as we wait for his return and continue serving him

Follow Me: Week 4

Mark 12:28-34
Jeff Coleman

Jesus is giving us a final exam. It’s open book and you have all the questions. In so doing, Christ draws a distinction between our head knowledge and our heart knowledge. The essence of Christian faith is summarized with the call to love God and love our neighbor.

Follow Me: Week 3

Mark 12:1-12
Jeff Coleman

Following Jesus Christ means that we are called to faithfully steward our everyday lives in such a way so that we reflect God’s goodness, grace, and greatness to a watching world. We are the living presence of God to those around us.

Lyn Cantrell

In this sermon anchored in Mark 10:46-52, we explore the profound connection between Jesus' passion prediction, his servant-hearted mission, and the healing encounter with blind Bartimaeus.

Follow Me: Week 1

Mark 10:17-31
Brian Butcher

Jesus made a common invitation to many people: “Follow me.” That same invitation is extended towards us today. Through the story of a man’s response to following Jesus, we look at what that means for us, whether we call ourselves Christians or not. Jesus will work so that we all come to a key realization: if we have Jesus, we lack nothing.

We believe the church isn’t a building—it’s people. And when each of those people knows who they are, what they believe, and why they believe it they can achieve incredible things together. Scripture describes the Church as a body. A human body is made up of many parts and each one of us has a unique part to play. The Church is made up of all kinds of people with unique gifts and skills that God wants to use for His kingdom. Start the New Year with our new teaching series, We Are the Church.

Worship is a Lifestyle

Mark 8:27-9:8
Brian Butcher

Jesus takes his three closest disciples on to a mountain, where they experience the full identity of Jesus: man and Messiah. The story informs us how we are to respond to Jesus, with one key idea: worship is a lifestyle.

Transformation is Greater Than Information

Mark 6:1-13
Jeff Coleman

A profound change can happen in our lives when we’re open to the ways God’s Spirit uses the Scripture, and we willingly consent to God’s transformative work. Practical, biblical teaching through the Word of God can bring about a genuine encounter with Jesus, leading to personal, internal, and spiritual transformation. When this occurs we experience the truth that transformation is greater than information.

Serving Together

Mark 2:1-12
Brian Butcher

We all have a mixed relationship with authority figures in our lives. Some we trust, others we can’t stand. Jesus’ actions in Mark’s Gospel show who he is and what he does with the authority given to him. And it begs the question: What will you do with the authority given to you?

We're Better Together

Mark 3:20-35
Jeff Coleman

Jesus is giving us a new understanding of what family means so that when others turn against us, misunderstand us, and otherwise try to dismiss us there are others around who can support us, walk alongside us, and be there to enable us to continue pursuing the will of God. This new family is called the church.

Love Makes Room

Mark 1:40-45
Jeff Coleman

Through the transformative power of compassion and unconditional acceptance, the church can become a place where genuine hospitality breaks barrier, embraces diversity, and creates a welcoming space where everyone can experience the love of God found in Jesus Christ.

Following Jesus

Mark 1:16-20
Jeff Coleman

There is a gap between what it means to follow Jesus and how we practically do it. Jesus is still calling people who experience the gaps, inconsistencies, and feel like dropouts to follow Him. Following Jesus isn’t about religious rules, but rather about living a transformed life.

This Is The Good News

Mark 1:1-20
Jeff Coleman

Regardless of the year you have had, God has been and will always be with you. The life of faith at the New Year (or at any time of year) must be grounded on the central idea that our lives – at all times, and all places – are to reflect the Good News about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.

Christmas Eve

John 1:1-14
Jeff Coleman

God came to earth to end the estrangement between humanity and Himself. The choice we all face is whether we will accept the means – Jesus Christ – that God has chosen to bring us back into a loving, shame-free, hopeful relationship with Himself.
