Is Your Roof Leaking?

Pastor Gray examines Ephesians 4:30–32, 5:1–2 as he makes a metaphorical comparison to repairs needed on Hosanna Christian School.

When we accept Christ as our Savior, we are sealed by the Holy Spirit. That is, we are marked with a seal that shows who we belong to. The devil doesn’t want believers to know that position in Christ. But we are in Christ, hidden with Christ, and Christ is in us.

But do we have bitterness, wrath, or anger within us?

Allow the Holy Spirit to cleanse you and repair the leaks in your roof.

Be Ready

Pastor Gray exhorts us to be ready for Christ’s return.

He examines the Rapture and events of the End Times. While we do not know the exact hour, we can still be prepared and not be caught unaware when Christ returns.

Are you watching for it?

Our Benefits in God

Pastor continues his journey through Romans 8 by discussing the benefits we have in our salvation.

Our salvation comes with many benefits, but if we don’t know them, we can’t walk in them. Coming boldly before God’s throne, our own prayer language, and healing are just a few.

Listen in as Pastor Gray outlines what they are and leads us in prayer to claim our healing.

Our Benefits

Pastor Gray continues his series on Romans 8, covering verses 26 through 31.

The Holy Spirit is continually making intercession for us according to the will of God. Likewise, Hebrews 7:25 tells us Jesus lives to make intercession for us.

God foreknew us and has a predestined plan for us. But He has much more. Our salvation comes with many benefits.

Do you know what those benefits are?

Enter the Sabbath Rest

Pastor Gray examines the gospel of the kingdom, the sabbath rest of God, and enduring hard times.

Jesus is the sabbath rest of God, and when He lives within us as believers, we enter into that rest of God. Are you living in His rest?

How does that rest impact us during hard times? Listen in to learn more.

A Better Covenant

Pastor Gray continues his series on Romans 8 by looking at the the better covenant Jesus established.

Many born again believers try to live by the Old Testament Law, but Jesus established a better covenant.

There is power in

  • the cross,
  • the blood, and
  • the resurrection.

Jesus made the way for us to leave our sins behind. When we choose to accept Him we become children of God and joint-heirs with Christ.

Are you living a life that shows that reality?

Walk in the Spirit

Pastor Gray continues his sermon on Romans 8:4-11 about walking according to the flesh or according to the Spirit.

If your mind is set on the things of the earth, you will seek earthly pleasures. But if your mind is set on the Spirit, you seek the things of the Spirit. When Christ dwells within you, you don’t want to sin. But if you do, we have an advocate, that is, Christ Jesus.

Walking in the Spirit is not about living a perfect life. It’s about being led by the Spirit as you walk.

The Law or the Blood?

Pastor Gray expounds on Romans 8: being delivered from the Law.

We should read Romans 6, 7, and 8 as one chapter. They lay out…

  • how to die to sin,
  • the struggle in the flesh with sin, and
  • how to be delivered.

The blood of Christ frees us from sin! But in the first century church, the Judaizers insisted that born-again believers still follow the Mosaic Law. Many believers today still try to live that way. But it only covered sin for a year; the blood of Christ takes away your sin.

Are you trying to keep the Law or are you resting in the shed blood of Jesus Christ?

Abide

Pastor Gray continues his message from last week from John 15, focusing on verse 7.

God wants us to abide in Him as He abides in us. To abide is to remain, and we cannot bear fruit apart from Him. And fruit is the life of Jesus in us–doing the same works Christ did: healing, delivering, and leading people to salvation.

Are you abiding in Christ? Are you bearing fruit?

Listen in for more.

Pruned for Fruitfulness

Pastor Gray preaches from John 15, abiding in the vine and being pruned. Every believer has giftings, and we will stand before Christ to give account of how we used them.

As we abide in the vine, we will bear fruit, and God, as the vinedresser, will prune us as needed in order that we may bear more fruit.

God expects us to use our gifting and to bear fruit. Are you?
