REVEALED
The Work of the Gospel
"I Have A Dream"
November 22, 2015 • Josh Tovey
In this final message of our REVEALED series and also the message that was preached before our first ever baptism service, we are reminded of how awesome and able our God is. He can do anything. He has shown Himself to be so powerful through these first 3 chapters of Ephesians and as we celebrated testimonies of how Jesus has changed people's lives, we were reminded that God truly is able to do far more than we could possibly imagine.
"Growing In Surrender"
November 15, 2015 • Josh Tovey
Growing in Jesus demands our surrender to Jesus... If we desire to grow in Jesus it means we must abandon all that we were. We must leave behind all that we were and submit to all that we have in Him. When we surrender we experience the riches of all that God has for us...
"The Immeasurable Riches Of Jesus"
November 8, 2015 • Matt Thompson
As we are introduced to the church in these verses, we see that Paul, a humble servant of the gospel, is boldly announcing the glorious truth of the gospel, and gladly suffering for the sake of the gospel! These verses unpack many of the incredible riches that we have in Christ and in the Church.
"Christ-Centered Life"
November 1, 2015 • Josh Tovey
To live a cross-centered life ultimately is a Christ-Centered life. In this message, we unpack what it looks like to have a Christ-centered view of suffering, grace and the Church. Which means that the gospel is not about me but what the gospel can do through me. We encourage you as you listen to this to evaluate whether you are just a "Sunday morning taker" of the gospel of a giver of the gospel to those you are in contact every day.
"Good News, Bad News"
October 25, 2015 • Josh Tovey
The gospel reveals bad news but rescues with good news. The Gospel requires us to embrace the bad http://news...that we are strangers, aliens, etc. to all that God is. But the Gospel rescues with the best news. We can now be saved, have peace and reconciliation and more. We pray you are encouraged by this text from Ephesians 2.
"Grave Diggers To Grace Receivers"
October 18, 2015 • Josh Tovey
Who we are determines what we do... Ever part of our being says what we do determines who we are... This road always leads to an identity crisis because we forget the freedom of finding our identity in the work of Jesus on our behalf and privilege we have to live from the position that he so graciously provides us.
"Gospel Informed Prayers"
October 11, 2015 • Matt Thompson
It's in these final verses of Ephesians 1 that we are encouraged to pray the great gospel truths of verses 3-14 over the lives of those around us! This section of verses specifically challenges us in this way: that the gospel would grow a prayerful pleading for the gospel to be embraced and celebrated!
"Knowing Your Worth"
October 4, 2015 • Josh Tovey
Knowing what you are worth influences what you value. In Ephesians 1:11-14 we unpacked that we are worth creating, worth redeeming and worth indwelling. God the Father has chosen you, God the Son has redeemed you and God the Spirit has assured you... What are you worth? You are worth what someone is willing to pay. Its through the Gospel we find our worth!
"Because Of Jesus...I am"
September 27, 2015
Before we can "do" anything for Jesus, we must be grounded and rooted in what has already been "done" by Jesus. Our identity is no longer determined by what we do, what we've done, how we fall short, how we http://fail....but our identity, if we've surrendered to Christ, is firmly rooted in our Savior. It's because of all that HE has done that we now have a new identity. Be encouraged as you listen to this. Share it with your friends and those who need to be reminded of all that Jesus is and all that He has done. We pray this message stirs your heart and your affections for Jesus.
"The Results Of Exalting Jesus"
September 13, 2015 • Josh Tovey
In this first message of our fall series in Ephesians, we get a glimpse of how the work of the Gospel started in Ephesus. We see that those who exalt Jesus love Jesus. We finished in Revelation 2 as Jesus challenged the church in Ephesus to get back to there first love. Jesus called them out and told them to get back to what they were first about when they embraced the truth of the Gospel.
