Celebrate Jesus

Celebrate Jesus: Part 5

April 30, 2023 • Pastor Ken Pounders • Galatians 5, Galatians 2:20

"In order to need a miracle, there has to be a crisis." - We are free from the law: Don't be entangled again in slavery. - We are free in His Spirit: Walk by the Spirit.

Celebrate Jesus: Part 4

April 23, 2023 • Pastor Randy Helms • Luke 2:41–52, Matthew 3:13–17, Matthew 26:36–46

"Jesus' obedience to the Father is a model for our obedience to Him." Before the PROMISE could be fulfilled, Jesus had to go through a PROCESS. Three times that Jesus walked in obedience: 1. In the Temple (His preparation): - Luke 2:41-52 - God is our ultimate authority. We are obedient to Him FIRST, then our earthly authority 2. In the Jordan (His baptism): - Matt. 3:13-17 - Jesus' baptism signified... - one more step of obedience - God' public expression of approval of Jesus - the beginning of His earthly ministry. 3. In the Garden (His surrender): - Matt. 26:36-46 - Jesus wanted His Father to do something different, but ultimately submitted to Him. - Jesus surrendered to God and man that day. How do we find freedom? Trust and obey! How do we find fulfillment? Trust and obey! How do we find forgiveness? Trust and obey!

Celebrate Jesus: Part 3

April 16, 2023 • Pastor Johnny Johnson • John 11:1–16, John 14:4–6, John 20:19–31, Romans 10:9–13, Revelation 22:20–21

"Jesus must be Lord OF all, or He's not Lord AT all!" Jesus must be Lord of our thoughts, words, and actions. Is Jesus your Lord, or is He just your savior? The truth is that He should be both.

Celebrate Jesus: Part 1

April 2, 2023 • Payton Russell • Luke 14, Mark 1:1–4, John 12:12–16

"We celebrate Jesus not because He needs us, but because He wants us!" Just as God chose John the Baptist to prepare the way for the coming Messiah, He has chosen us to prepare the way for His return. When we accept Christ as our personal Savior, we become part of the family and Kingdom of God. At that moment, everything changes. Why do we prepare the way? 1. It's our purpose. 2. They're more likely to say "yes." 3. It could change their life forever.
