Things Above (Colossians 3)

Anxious For Tomorrow (Matthew 6:25-34)

In our modern American culture, many of us have the luxury of not needing to worry about the daily needs of life: food, clothing, shelter. We, because of this, end up worrying instead about the future. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us not to worry about today OR tomorrow, but to seek first the Kingdom of God. This sermon was originally given at Island Alliance Church during the “Anxious For Nothing” series.

Anxious For Salvation? (Philippians 2:1-18)

We can easily become anxious about our relationship with Jesus and salvation. We can become overwhelmed with thoughts of “am I good enough?” “what do I need to do to be saved?” “will I actually be with Jesus when I die?” . Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi shows us that we do not need to be anxious about salvation because, ultimately, it is in God’s hands. This sermon was originally given at Island Alliance Church during the “Anxious For Nothing” Series through the book of Philippians.

Things Above (Colossians 3)

We are told to set our minds on things above, but this is hard in a broken world. Paul tells us how to live out of the truth of our identity to move from the “old self” to “the new self”. We can live in light of eternity because we have so much to be grateful for in Jesus. This sermon was originally given an Island Alliance Church during the “In Light Of Eternity” series.

Our Road Map (James 4)

A road map is essential to successful journey. James knows this truth and so he outlines a road map for the spiritual journey in the way of Jesus. Together we take a look at our starting point, goal, hazards, and motivation. This teaching was originally given at Island Alliance Church during the “Genuine Faith” series through the book of James.

Devoted To Prayer (Acts 2:42, James 4:1-3, & Matt. 6:25-34)

Are we fully devoted to a life of prayer? Jesus and the early church lay out a clear model of daily prayer as the lifeblood of our relationship with God. Together, we unpack three key passages that show what it means to be fully devoted to prayer. The sermon was originally given at Island Alliance Church during the “Devoted” series.
