The Heart that Loves Christ

The Hatred of the World

Learning from John 15:18-25, we hear Jesus warn His disciples that the world will hate and persecute them. Jesus explains that this hostility is inevitable because believers no longer belong to the sinful systems of the world, having been chosen by Christ. Ultimately, the world's hatred of Christians is a direct rejection of God Himself.

The Great Love of Christ

This week, we continued through the Vine and Fruit teaching of Jesus, looking closer at verses 9-17 of Chapter 15.   We learned that keeping God's commandments is a mark of our response to His love for us; our response must be unshakable trust and unwavering obedience, which bring joy to us and others. Guest Speaker: Kobe Whitlock

Abide in the True Vine

In this weeks sermon, we hear Jesus declare his final of the seven great I AM statements , "I AM the True Vine." In this passage, Jesus shares the parable of the vine and the branches, explaining that He is the true vine and God the Father is the vinedresser. Christians are the branches and they produce spiritual fruit only by abiding in Him. This leads to Peace, Love and Joy. Guest Speaker: Grant Lunde

The Gift of His Peace

In this week's sermon we hear Jesus' final comforting message to His disciples before going to the cross, offering them the Holy Spirit, eternal peace, and the assurance of His victory over the sin and death. That comfort is also for us as believers in Christ.

The Heart that Loves Christ

In this week's sermon from the Gospel of John, chapter 14, verses 15-24, we hear Jesus and His promises that the disciples genuine love for Him will be shown through obedience to His commands. In return, He promises to send the Holy Spirit to guide and dwell within them forever. This applies to us today as the Church and followers of Christ.
