Identity

Week 4

May 7, 2023 • Eric Dubach

Discovering the Offensive Nature of the Gospel and How It Affects Our Identity in Jesus. While our beliefs may be offensive to some, we can still share the grace and hope of the Gospel. Learn how to represent the truths of the Gospel and share them with others in a world that may not be accepted.

Guilty

May 21, 2023 • Eric Dubach

If you've ever felt like you're not measuring up to other Christians who seem to have a greater impact, take heart. You are not alone. It's easy to compare ourselves to others, but God sees us all as valuable and invites everyone to come to Him. Remembering God's word and purpose is key to overcoming feelings of insignificance. Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy of a new covenant, and we can trust in His promises that we are loved and valued by God. So, don't let comparison steal your joy. Focus on God's purpose for your life and trust that He has a plan for you. You are a spiritual somebody in God's eyes, and that is what truly matters.

Demonic

May 14, 2023 • Eric Dubach

We are invited to take a closer look at our reactions to insults and anger, and how we can respond positively despite negativity. Pastor Eric encourages us to find our confidence in our identity in Jesus and respond calmly and confidently using biblical truth. In this message, we explore how injustices and shame can try to tear us down and how surrendering can become an act of worship. The story of Samaritans is examined, and how accusations can be used to challenge our faith in God's goodness. Finally, Pastor Eric invites us to avoid being held back by insults and negativity, and instead walk around the world completely unhindered in our purpose to serve God.

Crazy

April 30, 2023 • Brian Clay

We discuss why it's important to question God and seek answers through prayer and His Word. We explore how doubts can actually deepen our understanding and relationship with Jesus, and how the book of Habakkuk teaches us to trust in God's good nature and character, even when we don't have all the answers.
