Creation Patterns: Walking in the Spirit (Romans 8)

Core Values: Love God

In the next four weeks, we will be exploring the four core values of our church. This week, Pastor Will taught about the foundational core value: love God. Loving God is foundational to the rest of Christian living. In this sermon, Pastor Will talks about the first commandment, how obedience and love work together, and how God relates to us as a loving Father. You won't look at obedience the same!

Creation Patterns: All Things Made New (Revelation 21-22)

The end of the Bible looks remarkably similar to the beginning. In the end, God wins, humanity is restored, and creation is made new again. In this sermon, Pastor Will works through Revelation 21 and 22, showing that humanity's greatest desire and need is fulfilled by God's plans in the end: we will experience the presence of God in the kingdom.

Creation Patterns: Walking in the Spirit (Romans 8)

The apostle Paul tells us in Romans that we have the ability to walk in newness of life. We are to be slaves to righteousness instead of slaves to sin. But how do we do this? For Paul, we need more than knowledge and more than the Law, we need the spirit. In this sermon, Pastor Will walks through the first portion of Romans 8, showing that we should identify with Christ and cooperate with the work of the spirit in our lives. This is the way to truly live.

Creation Patterns: Buried and Raised (Romans 6)

The Christian conversion experience is a powerful thing. Conversion takes us from the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of light and love. In this sermon, Jason Carter walks through Romans 6, showing that Christians trace the path of the exodus from slavery to sin into freedom in Christ. We can walk in newness of life because of what Jesus accomplished!

Creation Patterns: New Creation in Christ (Colossians 1)

Genesis 1 and 2 aren't the only places we find creation patterns in scripture. In this sermon, we begin the second half of this sermon series by looking at new creation. In this sermon, Pastor Will walks through Colossians 1, showing us that life has been changed because of the coming of Christ. We have been redeemed, set free, and brought into the kingdom of God. And now Jesus is exalted above all of the powers. When we follow Jesus, we are living up to the image of God we were created to be. Our life can represent new creation.
