Come & See Week 2

September 8, 2024 • Pastor Trey Harper • Romans 12:1–2

“Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2 CSB)

1. The structures and systems of the past are the catalyst for our submission in the present.

2. A living sacrifice is a series of starts and stops.

(Romans 12:2a) Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind

3. Conformity paints the walls while transformation guts the house.

(Romans 12:2b) so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.”

"Look No Further"

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Mason Harris • Hebrews 10:19–25

Hebrews 10:19-25 - 19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus — 20 he has inaugurated for us a new and living way through the curtain (that is, through his flesh) — 21 and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water. 23 Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, 25 not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching. 1. WE CAN HAVE A NEW LIFE BECAUSE JESUS CREATED A NEW WAY 2. WHEN WE DRAW NEAR WE FIND HOPE FOR OUR DESPERATION 3. THE SECURITY AND SUPPORT WE LONG FOR IS OFTEN FOUND IN THE COMMUNITY WE NEGLECT

Come & See "But God"

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Mason Harris • Ephesians 2:1–10

https://linktr.ee/virtualvh Ephesians 2:1-10 - 1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins 2 in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit now working in the disobedient. 3 We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, 5 made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace! 6 He also raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might display the immeasurable riches of his grace through his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift — 9 not from works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do. SERMON TITLE: “BUT GOD,” WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME? Ephesians 2:1 - 1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins 1. OUR DECISIONS DETERMINED OUR CONDITION Ephesians 2:4 - 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, 5 made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace! 2. HIS DECISION CHANGED OUR POSITION Ephesians 2:6 - 6 He also raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, 3. GOD CREATED YOU FOR MORE Ephesians 2:10 - 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do. John 10:10 - 10 A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance. Ephesians 2:8-9 - 8 For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift — 9 not from works so that no one can boast.

John 1:43-49 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip and told him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.” 46 Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Nathanael asked him. “Come and see,” Philip answered.47 Then Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.” 48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,” Jesus answered. 49 “Rabbi,” Nathanael replied, “You are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel!” John 1:43 - The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee.
