Pastor Eric Jones begins a 3-week journey through the unique Gospel of John that brings us face-to-face with Jesus and helps us find our identity in Him. Sermon Title: "Who Is Jesus?"1. JESUS IS ETERNAL2. JESUS IS FULLY HUMAN & FULLY DIVINE3. JESUS IS SAVIOR: The Way, The Truth, The LifeSermon Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/v...…

This overview of 2 Peter reminds us that the Christian life is not stagnant. It’s not a “One-and-Done” transaction. If we aren’t moving forward in our faith, then we're falling backwards. Living for Jesus is always forward momentum. But we must beware of bad theology (aka, theological vomit). Bad theology will trip up our forward momentum in Christ…

Peter doesn’t tell Christians how to escape persecution; rather, how to endure it.Sermon Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/v...Pastor Eric JonesEric Jones

As you read the Gospel of Mark, look for the Kingdom of God and catch a vision for how God wants you to live in His ways and how He wants you to minister His kingdom to others. We will see and experience God-stuff when we follow Jesus, when we get close to Him, when we seek Him. The Gospel of Mark depicts an urgency to sharing Jesus with others. It…

From slave to brother. In this world, people use people for their own gain. In God’s kingdom we become useful to God and to others. Christians must do hard things. Jesus crushes evil from the inside/out.Pastor ERIC JONESOverview of the Book of PhilemonEric Jones

The power-packed book of Titus reminds us (1) EVERYTHING RISES & FALLS ON LEADERSHIP, (2) WE AE CALLED TO BE BILLBOARDS FOR JESUS, (3) EMBRACE FULL GRACE CHRISTIANITY, and (4) WE ARE SAVED TO DO GOOD. "A Christian that looks like the world makes Jesus appear weak & unnecessary." - Pastor Eric JonesEric Jones

An overview of 2 Timothy.1. DON’T BE ASHAMED OF JESUS: A life lived for Jesus is a life lived sharing Jesus with others: unashamed! 2.

Are you struggling to find and maintain joy? The Book of Philippians reminds us that we can find joy in all things because we find joy in Jesus. Are you living your life for yourself or for Jesus? If you lack joy, then chances are you are living for yourself. Philippians 4:4Eric Jones

The Bible helps us discover that being Full of The Spirit (Greek: plérés) is a result of (1) repentance which brings fruit and (2) pursuit which releases power. It's making a statement about someone’s character. They have the character or you could say that they resemble the Holy Spirit.Eric Jones

"FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT." It seems like people use this term to describe many different things - from being synonymous with being baptized in the Holy Spirit, to being empowered by the Holy Spirit, or simply feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit with you. So, which is it? All the above or something more specific?…

In Galatians, Paul reveals that there’s something worth arguing and fighting for within the church: THE GOSPEL!In Galatians, Paul defends the Gospel against those who are seeking to add to it, change it, pervert it, redefine it… DILUTE IT! And God’s covenant is for all people who through faith would come to Him.https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/v…

The letter of 2 Corinthians is a reminder that we are weak, but God is strong. It's a reminder to trust in His power and not our own. - The cross reveals God’s way: self-giving, self-sacrificing, and suffering. - Our generosity is tangible evidence that we’ve truly embraced the Gospel.- Our warfare is spiritual. And we win because God always wins.…

A line-by-line walk through 1 Corinthians chapter 14 beings clarity that orderly worship is never about excluding spiritual gifts; rather, it’s about making room for them. The gifts of the Holy Spirit do not need to be controversial because the Bible speaks clearly on this topic. Each spiritual gift is important but they each have their purpose and…

A review of the letter of 1 Corinthians “How do we keep the church IN the world, while keeping the world OUT of the church.” We need to address the problems in the world and in the church. Woke ignores the problems while love addresses the problems. - Pastor Eric JonesEric Jones

This overview of Romans is part 1 of 3 and will help us discover and understand the "WHY" behind this important New Testament letter. The Theme of Romans is found in Romans 1:16-17 and reveals that the gospel really is for everyone - for all who believe. In Romans, we discover that we’re all in the same boat. We’re all separated from God because of…

God has given us the Book of Acts so that we can know how to be the church. Three primary messages to the church are (1) The Kingdom of God, (2) the Name of Jesus, and (3) the power of the Holy Spirit. But don't romanticize the church and expect opposition. In the end, God wants His Church to grow!Eric Jones
