The Threefold Impact of Spiritual Compromise / Eric Phillips

Judges 1

In this sermon, Eric uses the book of Judges to teach that compromise will always cost you something. Spiritual compromise is the willful decision of a believer to allow sin to remain. Is there sin that you’re allowing to thrive in your life? You must trust God to kill it or it will cost you everything.

The Acts of the Apostles: Where Honor Is Due

The Acts of the Apostles: Where Honor Is Due

Acts 14:8-20

On the heels of being kicked out of Iconium, Paul engages the people of Lystra. In the series of strange events that follow, we learn about where to put our faith and where to direct our praise. It is easy to misdefine faith, placing it in abstract and superstitious religious notions. It is easy to receive honor and accolades from people to the neglect of God. We discover in this message how the mature minister elevates faith and honor toward God.

The Acts of the Apostles: Establishing a Pattern of Ministry pt.2

The Acts of the Apostles: Establishing a Pattern of Ministry pt.2

Acts 14:1-7

Identifying ourself as a Christian is one thing, but identifying ourself with Christ’s mission is a whole other thing. If we are going to identify or reflect God’s heart for the lost world, it will require establishing patterns in our ministry. Paul sets an amazing example for us in Acts 14 as he provides us with a clear template for his ministry, a pattern of ministry that continues throughout the remainder of the book. Do you have a pattern for ministry? Does your personal life conform to the urgency of that work?

A very encouraging and challenging message for all those who desire to grow in their ministry leadership.

The Acts of the Apostles: When We Face Rejection pt. 1

Acts 13:13

For all those who follow Christ and live his mission to share the gospel, we will face heartache. There will be rejection and often it will come from among those you considered your friends, your co-laborers. Why does this happen and how do we stand strong when we feel betrayed? Todays message tells a story of John Mark and how he left his friends high and dry on the shores of Perga.

The Acts of the Apostles: When Preaching Meets Prevention

The Acts of the Apostles: When Preaching Meets Prevention

Acts 13:3-12

We are studying the first missionary journey of Paul & Barnabas, learning from their faith and their works. In this sermon we find they have just arrived at Cyprus when their preaching is soon met with enemy resistance. What do we do when our gospel voice is met with voices of dissent? What does it mean to stand against the “wiles of the devil” when discouragement is often our natural response?

Set Us Free: A Character Study of Jonah 4:10-11

Set Us Free: A Character Study of Jonah 4:10-11

Jonah 4:10-11

In this final week of our study, we focus on how to trade the worship of our feelings and thoughts to find pleasure in knowing, feeling and acting according to God’s heart.

Jonah is often referred to as the “Missionary Prophet” and yet his thought life was so out of sync with God’s will that he rebels at every turn. In his best moments, he is reluctant and in his worst moments, he is faithless, consumed by his emotions, obsessed with his circumstances and full of fear. As a ministry of missions-minded young people, how do we avoid falling prey to a thought life that hinders fellowship with God and stunts fruitfulness in our lives?
