The Spirit-Shaped Life >> Joy

The Spirit-Shaped Life >> Joy

Some days it’s difficult to find joy. But we’re called to rejoice in the Lord. Even in trials, the joy of the Lord will stop a descent into despair…

Pray hopefully

What does God ask of us: Pray hopefully (Micah 7:1-20)

The closer you get to situations that seem hopeless, the harder it is to hold on to any sense that God can do something to change things.

What has grieved God: Worship has become idolatry (Micah 1:1-9)

The first sermon in our series ‘Hearing God’s Heartbeat’, looking through the book of Micah.

Are we living for the mission of God?

I wrote this song with the question “Am I living for the mission of God or for myself?” in mind.

Faith (Mark 16:9-20)

Faith in the Easter story.

Faith filled prayer (Mark 11:1-25)

What did Jesus say about praying with faith?

Faith on desperate days (Mark 5:21 – 43)

We read the story of Jairus and the woman losing blood, and see ourselves in them.

But what was Jesus trying to do?

And what does the way Jesus acted mean for our church life together?

Faith on stormy days (Mark 4:35 – 41)

When the storm hit the boat the disciples were in, they were afraid and thought Jesus didn’t care.
When the storm was stilled, they were terrified and wondered who this Jesus was.

Living practically (1 Thessalonians 5:12 – 5:28)

What does the Christian life look like in practice? What are the foundations on which we make decisions and develop a Christ-formed lifestyle?

Living right (1 Thessalonians 4:1-12)

The three areas that Paul addresses here as arenas for holiness are sex, relationships, and work – the creation ordinances.

Living in the storm (1 Thessalonians 2:17 – 3:13)

How do you hold on to faith when the storms of life hit you?

Living Straight (1 Thessalonians 2:1-12)

Paul lived without spin – he was aware that he could manipulate people and situations – but he wanted to live holy and whole – his calling was to the church.
