Liar

Brookside Church

Week 1

April 16, 2023 • Eric Dubach

The world refuses to see you as Jesus sees you. In Christ, you are redeemed, you are free, you are made whole, you are new. The world hates that because you are a tangible expression of the truth of the Gospel. So, the world will try to convince you that your story is a lie. When it does, you will either let it put you in bondage to a fake story, or you will remain free in His story.

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

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.
