The Benefit (Fruit) of Being Alive in Christ

Romans 6:20-23 Sunday Service / Paul contrasts the benefits and outcomes of the believer’s past slavery to sin with the believer’s present slavery to God to remind them that they have received the free gift of God which is eternal life. So, live like it now.

Rest for a Noisy Soul

Matthew 11:28-30 Sunday Service / Do you desire rest from a noisy soul? Jesus alone provides rest and peace for the weary and heavy laden. Jesus calls us into initial rest and an ongoing experience of rest because He is gentle and humble of heart.

1 Corinthians 3 Sunday Service / Brothers and sisters in the local church are called to serve God in unity through humility for the the furtherance of the gospel.

Resisting Temptation

James 1:12-16 Sunday Service / God allows trials in our lives to test our faith for endurance. Those same trials that God means to prove our faith can also be used as a temptation to sin. James provides a way of escape from allowing trials to take us captive to temptation and sin.

The Trap of Self-Righteousness

Luke 18:9-14 Sunday Service / If you died today where would you go, Heaven or Hell? When you say Heaven, we ask on what basis? Jesus teaches us to not fall into the trap of self-righteousness. We dare not approach the throne of God based on our own merits. Instead we approach in humility where we are not trusting in ourselves but in Christ’s righteousness alone.

Discipling With Our Union in Christ

Midweek Service Rom 7:4 / We are all called in the fellowship to disciple one another. You are capable and competent to disciple in the Word calling believers to biblical change through their union with Christ.
