The impact of community is accumulative. It’s not what you do. It’s not what I do. It’s not what the person next to us does. The impact is when you add up all those things together that the gospel ball gets moved forward. That’s the impact of community!

The Impact of Community

Jesus is the best king and obeying Jesus leads to the best life. To the life that stands when storms come. To the life that isn’t barren and empty and meaningless. To the life that isn’t demolished, the life that doesn’t have nothing to show for it, the life that has nothing left that remains. Jesus came to give us life and that more abundantly.

The Impact of the Kingdom of God Part Two

The good news of the kingdom is that all who believe in Jesus and place their trust in him are freed from Satan’s grip, delivered from his dark, miserable, hellish domain, and transferred to the kingdom of the Son God loves.

The Impact of the Kingdom of God

Gospel impact isn’t just something God works through us, gospel impact is also something God works in us. Impact needs to flow outwardly and inwardly if we’re going to be healthy believers.

Bracing to Be Impacted

Impact is defined as the act or force of one thing hitting another, or a powerful influence or effect. The book of Acts is all about impact! In fact the impact of the gospel, and the Spirit, working through the church is so great that even their enemies had to admit they were turning the world upside down!

Praying for Impact

The trajectory of our lives have been affected so much more than we can even imagine by the impact others have had on us, and we have affected the trajectory of others in ways we may not even realize.

Bracing for Impact

Jesus took our sin upon himself, and he gave us his precious Holy Spirit to empower us say no to sin and to live unto God. Jesus lived a scandal-filled life so that we might live a Spirit-filled life.

The Christmas Story and the Scandal-Filled Life of Jesus

Jesus came not only to save our souls, he came to save our stories. Let’s believe Jesus, ask God to fill us with the Holy Spirit, and live our stories to the glory of God!

The Christmas Story and Our Story

Those who believe in the promise of God to do what we couldn’t do, who trust in Jesus to save us from our sin and for eternity, those are children of promise.

The Christmas Story and the Promises of God

As we eagerly desire the manifestations of the Holy Spirit, let’s remember that His passion is to lift up and glorify Christ in our midst – so that believers draw nearer to Christ and unbelievers might come to know Jesus and be saved.

Striving for the Work of the Spirit While Avoiding Weird Stuff

The Holy Spirit gives believers gifts, but if we don’t know what those gifts are or what to do with them, they might sit unused in our lives. As we consider the gifts of the Spirit, my hope is that this message inspires us to use our gifts for the glory of God.

The Gifts of the Spirit

Through Christ we have been made children of God and citizens of the kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit is working in us every day to empower us to be who we are and live life, not out of the flesh but out of the new nature the Spirit has given us.

The Fruit of the Spirit

We want to pursue the gifts and cultivate the fruit of the Spirit. It’s the Spirit that gives us the gifts, it’s the Spirit that bears the fruit in us. But the Bible – and Paul – makes it clear that we are to pursue eagerly the gifts and allow the Holy Spirit to work on our character, cultivating love, patience, gentleness, joy, and other fruits of the Spirit.

Thank You, Jesus!
