Sermons on Life
Wake up! Jesus is coming.
What if Jesus was coming back today? What would you want to do differently if you knew he’d be here in just a few hours? In Romans 13 Paul encourages us to not live as if it was nighttime, as people of darkness. Instead he says we should live as people of the daytime, as people of light. What personal things would you add under each of these headings from Romans 13 & 14 about how to live in the…
A resolution to live differently
Based on everything we’ve worked through during this Enthusiasm series, what will you resolve to do and be? Switch from grind to grace. Switch from consumerism to community.

Take Action (Putting your faith into action)
Jesus came to open eyes, free captives and bring light to those in darkness. What is our active role in this ministry of Christ? When we see need in the world, what action can we take? How does what we believe impact whether we help or ignore the people around us? Having faith in Jesus naturally leads to a concern for others. Not just others in the church, but all people. The Apostle Paul wrote that we should have the…

What God does in the toughest seasons of your life
The image in Psalm 23 is not about how you are stupid, cantankerous and dumb (like a sheep), but is about how wonderful God is as a shepherd.

How to have everything you need (The Lack Nothing Life)
We often feel like we don’t have enough. “I don’t have enough time.” “I don’t have enough money.” “I don’t have enough friendship.” Despite the fact that we live in a culture with more than anyone has ever had, we feel like we’re missing out. One of the most famous poems in history, Psalm 23, presents us with a different way to live. Imagine going through life thinking, “I actually do have enough. I lack nothing!” It might seem impossible,…
