Sermon Summary

More and more, our generation cries out for more freedom and more liberties. It is within our human nature to want to be free creatures with the autonomy to chase our own dreams and pursue whatever our hearts desire. However, the bible has some ideas of what it means to be “love-slaves” of Jesus. The early church apostles and many others in church history understood something about the nature of slavery that is lost on us today. In the worldly sense, slavery to earthly masters is seen as detestable and cruel. However, slavery to Jesus is ultimate freedom! How is this, and why is it important to yield to God all of our rights and allow Him to be our master as we walk with Him?

Fill the city with Jesus. This is the vision not just for our church, but for our people. The city is not just a physical location, but a collection of our family members, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances. How can you bring Jesus to your city?

Sermon Summary

Life is indeed a journey that seems long, but we are reminded in Scripture that it is short compared to eternity and that eternity in our hearts is exactly how we should live this life on earth. Without vision, we tend to die a little on the inside; we lose hope, become discouraged, and our hearts dull a bit. No matter the detours, delays, and the beautiful mountain top experiences your journey has taken you on, a heart that is on fire for Jesus is what the journey is really all about. On the Road to Emmaus, two men have this experience. With some disappointment over their expectations, they are saddened, but they encounter Jesus, who opens the scriptures, and they find later that their hearts had been burning. Does your heart burn, is it flickering, or is it just down to an ember? Let's journey to find out how we can awaken our first love again, to have our hearts set ablaze with the love of God.

Sermon Summary

We call Jesus “Lord, Lord” but often still live like we’re in charge. We make our own plans, chase our own dreams, and ask God to bless our will instead of submitting to His. We treat Jesus like a great Rabbi with helpful advice, but not as KYRIOS—Master, Owner, Supreme Authority. Jesus taught that many will be surprised on judgement day because they picked and chose good works without full obedience to Him. We build on sand when we do what initially feels good, avoid hard obedience, and stay in control—but the storm always comes. We find unshakable joy, peace, and freedom when we build on the rock and do what He says, even when it’s hard. We follow Jesus as LORD when we repent, deny ourselves, obey immediately, and make disciples—before the storm hits.
