The label ‘Christian’ is commonly used as a way to self-identify as a follower of Jesus.

When sin and death have no power over you, you rise. That is why we celebrate Easter—Jesus was able to defeat sin and death and in turn, rise.

It is a gift of God, not a result of work; we were dead in our sins and had no power to overcome them. 

Fasting weakens the flesh, but something also happens when it is weak: it fuels the power of the spirit among God’s people.

With fasting comes tranquility, bravery, or wisdom, but the ultimate goal of fasting is to get in touch with our hunger for God. This is taught to us repeatedly throughout the Bible, directly and indirectly.

It is written that fasting amongst followers of Jesus was as regular as many people’s morning cup of Joe, so what has happened in the better part of 2000 years that caused this practice to become taboo?

In times like these, faith is tested, and the age-old question, “If God is real why do bad things happen to good people?” comes to the forefront of our minds.

To accomplish those teachings, we must first change our perspective from a worldly one to one of eternal life. 

Sermon 2/11/24

This selfless act referenced in the gospel by the sinless Messiah extends his innocence to us.

Sermon 2/04/24

But here is the thing—we will never be able to embrace the gospel’s good news if we are not honest about the bad news.
