It's About Relationship, Not Religion

Part 2

October 9, 2022 • Mason Adair • Romans 6:12–14, Colossians 3:1–11, Matthew 6:24, 1 Timothy 6:10

A common misconception people have about God and religion is that “for God to love me I have to be good.” The truth of the matter is that God loves you just as you are BUT, loves you too much to leave you how you are. When you say yes to Jesus, YOU CHANGE! This sermon looks at how Jesus changes us - not religion.

Jesus is Making All Things New

October 30, 2022 • Mason Adair • Revelation 21:1–8

No matter how much evil, brokenness and suffering we see and experience, Jesus will make all things new! He will mend every broken thing and overturn every injustice.

Carnival Mirrors Distort Your Identity

October 23, 2022 • Mason Adair

Carnival mirrors give us a distorted view of who we are. And a lie believed as truth will affect you as if it were true. You don’t have to accept everything deemed as “true” by the world and culture. Your identity is shaped by the words God Himself speaks about you. There is no higher truth than God’s truth. While the narratives of the world may try to pull you in a hundred different directions, His truth provides a firm foundation you can stand on.

Jesus Will Never Leave You

October 16, 2022 • Mason Adair • John 16:5–15, Ephesians 1:13, Hebrews 13:5

There are situations that leave us alone and abandoned all the time. At some point, we all have heard it in some form or another… “we’re through,” “I don’t love you anymore,” “we can’t be friends anymore,” “we’re going to have to let you go,” “I’m sorry, you’re loved one didn’t make it.” Hearing any of those words can rock our world and leave gaping holes of loneliness, abandonment and pain. Yet, we have a promise from God that He will never leave us nor forsake us.
