The God Who Chooses Failures

James Rochford

Exodus 2:11-4:20

The story of God calling Moses from the burning bush teaches us that God doesn't choose people based on their abilities and in fact He chooses people who are failures by the world's standards. In spite of all of Moses' doubts, fears, past failures and present shortcomings, God had a plan for Moses that was not hindered by his issues. At eighty years of age, Moses' story wasn't over yet, and neither is yours!

Walk as Children of Light

Scott Risley

Ephesians 5:1-14

To walk as children of light begins with a deep change in your identity. We live as children of light because of what God has done for us, forgiving and adopting us as His beloved children. We live as children of light because the old way does not fit anymore. Also, we want to live in a way that pleases God. Finally, we live as children of light for the sake of our witness to others.

Why Would Anyone Want to Follow Christ?

James Rochford

Ephesians 5:1-14

The question is not why would anyone want to follow Christ, but why would anyone not want to follow Him? Do you really want more emptiness, jealousy, and longing in your life? By following Christ, a Christian can be happy with the life they have been given, even in spite of the trials we all experience. If you have trusted Christ with your afterlife, why not trust Him with this life?

When you become a Christian, God gives you a new identity. In Christ, the old has gone and the new has come. But you need to believe and live out that "new you."

Living Out Your New Identity in Christ

Conrad Hilario

Ephesians 4:17-19

Living out your new life in Christ involves not living as the world lives, in the futility of their mind, but knowing that only God gives real meaning in life to anything we do. He gives us significance and value. He ensures that suffering has a purpose. Are you living in such a way that distinguishes you from the world?

Life Without God

Scott Risley

Ephesians 4:17-19

Everyone who rejects God, has made a decision of the will to ignore the evidence God has given people to know He exists. This leads to a darkening of their minds where they cannot understand the significance of their rejection of God. This leads to being cut off from the life God wants to give them. To reject God is to reject the good things He wants to give us. This ultimately leads to living a life of calloused self-indulgence which will never satisfy the deep desire in their hearts that only knowing God can fulfill.
