Overcoming the Opposition

Baptism

In this message, we'll look at the first recorded sermon preached after Jesus' resurrection and consider the question asked in response to that message, "What must I do to be saved?" Centuries later, that remains as life's most important question. This message will examine how that question is answered in Scripture and the role baptism plays in that process.

Radical Obedience: The Path to Revival

In this series finale, we arrive at Ezra 10 and the powerful theme of radical obedience. When conviction over sin becomes contagious, it doesn't just produce tears—it demands a plan of action and real sacrifice. Drawing upon revivals from history, this message challenges us to move beyond a temporary emotional response (spiritual high) and toward the sustained spiritual disciplines that fuel lasting transformation.

The Pain of Holiness

The focus of this message is the pain of holiness. Let’s explore together not only the reality of pain and suffering, the causes of pain and suffering, but also God's plan to even use our pain and suffering for good, especially those enduring the cost of pain and suffering for following Jesus.

The Posture of Prayer

What are some types of prayer? How does God answer prayer? What is a good pattern for prayer? Let's dive into God’s Word and learn more about the posture of prayer!

The Portrait of a Spiritual Leader

In this message from Ezra chapter 7, the narrative shifts from building the physical Temple to the spiritual formation that needed to take place in the hearts of the people. God sent a man named Ezra to lead this work. In this message, we'll consider three qualities that made Ezra an effective spiritual leader and apply those qualities to our roles as spiritual leaders in the church and in our homes.
