Sunday Sermon | Key Elements in Spiritual Warfare | 2 Corinthians | Part 15
Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 10:1-18. Paul introduces the idea that the Christian life and ministry is a type of warfare. Spiritual warfare is a battle of the mind, so the spiritual weapons have to do with the mind. Don’t be drawn into innovations in spiritual warfare. We don’t need innovation with the things of God; we need conviction. Do you believe God? Do you believe what God said? Heart change is brought about through the mind. Prayer is a profound weapon of spiritual warfare. We see that God generally helps those who ask for it. Ask for God’s help. Spiritual warfare is raging. We fight these battles by continuing to submit to the authority of the truth and by knowing God.

Sunday Sermon | The Unexpected Purpose in Giving | 2 Corinthians | Part 14
Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 8:16-9:15. This passage of scripture has an overarching phrase in 9:11, “You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way…” When Paul talks about giving, he brings it into the category of the graces of God; often considered to be the last grace. The chief end of man is not compliance to God’s law. It’s to glorify and enjoy God; it has to do with communion. The Christian life is about communing with the Father. It is the enjoyment of a real, interactive, loving relationship with God. Giving isn’t ultimately about money. It is possible to give much in a stingy way and little in a bountiful way. Coinage isn’t the only variable in the equation. John 3:16 tells us that the defining action of love is giving. If our giving isn’t right, then our loving isn’t right. The disposition or characterization of our gifts is directly related to the disposition of our hearts. The heart savingly touched by a savior, persuaded of His care for us, will transition the experience of giving from something compulsory to something about enjoying communion with God. And as we express this last grace of financial giving, God will make all graces abound. Do we value communion with God? This passage is primarily about enjoying a loving relationship with the Heavenly Father.

Sunday Sermon | The Foundational Principle in Giving | 2 Corinthians | Part 13
Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 8:1-15. In 2 Corinthians 8, the Apostle Paul talks about the tender subject of giving. The main idea in this passage is to be released from the bondages of the things we depend on, except for the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul talks about giving not as money but as a grace and considers the main idea from three perspectives: 1) the example of the Macedonians, 2) the example of the Lord, and 3) the method by which God estimates gospel generosity. The underlining message in this passage is much larger than giving, it simply has to do with this question: Can we trust a warm, loving Father to take care of us?

Sunday Sermon | The Stubborn Joy of Paul in the Corinthian's Repentance | 2 Corinthians | Part 12
Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 7:2-16. What we have here is a look into the apostolic ministry and the corresponding need of the church. Apostolic ministry was unique and had a unique authority. Were the Corinthian church to reject Paul, they would reject Christ. What the apostle Paul is doing with the Corinthian church is applicable to our churches today. As we involve ourselves in the concept of relational ministry, we grow in our love, intimacy, and friendship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Corinthians needed to repent. If at any point they stopped repenting, they would have ceased to exist as a church. A churches vitality depends upon repentance, which is only made possible through union with Christ. We cannot rightly repent until we are made alive in the Lord Jesus. When the recognition of my sin causes me horror in that I have grieved a holy God and fallen away from His friendship, this is repentance.

Sunday Sermon | Holiness and the Promises of God | 2 Corinthians | Part 11
Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1. In this passage, we see a very important image, this idea of a temple. We know the location of the temple has changed as well as its realities - now the temple is living. Believers are described as the temple of God. There is a relationship between holiness in our own lives and a delight in the Lord as our God. It seems, because of our sinful flesh, most believers struggle for long periods to distinguish between the realities of our justification and our pursuit of holiness. One of the most challenging concepts of the Christian life is the recognition of this overwhelming joy that is at our fingertips, but it involves our own holiness and real righteousness. Paul asks five questions in this passage to which the answer to all is “None”. These things he compares, beginning with righteousness and lawlessness, have nothing to do with one another. Paul isn’t telling us to remove ourselves from the world but to remove worldliness from ourselves, the temple of the living God. There is a direct proportion to our own earnestness in casting off the old man and the joy that we have in Christ.

Sunday Sermon | The Inner Life of a Disciple: The Life God Uses | The Beatitudes | Part 2
Please join us as Pastor Preston Hoffman concludes this sermon series on the Beatitudes. Matthew 5:7-12. Jesus Himself embodied the beatitudes before He would ever command them of His people. The first four beatitudes describe the root of the Christian life. Today, Jesus moves to the fruit; from the heart that God blesses to the life that God uses. The kingdom of God is not only internal transformation, it’s external demonstration. These final four beatitudes describe the public life of a disciple, the visible evidence of the invisible work of God. The outward life of Jesus’ disciples is not optional - it’s our faith made visible. The inward life gives rise to the outer life. Does your life display what your heart claims? Last week we asked what kind of heart does God bless; this week we ask what kind of life does God use? Jesus will show us what that life looks like lived out.

Sunday Sermon | The Inner Life of a Disciple: The Heart God Blesses | The Beatitudes | Part 1
Please join us as Pastor Preston Hoffman discusses the Beatitudes. Matthew 5:1-6. At the beginning of His sermon, Jesus answers the question: What kind of heart does God bless? The kingdom of God and the role you play in it does not begin with what you do but begins with what you are. The Sermon on the Mount is a portrait of those who have been transformed by the true gospel. The kingdom life begins with a transformed heart - humbled, broken, surrendered, and hungry for God. These qualities are not natural; they are the spirit-wrought foundations of true discipleship. The Sermon on the Mount is not a path to earn salvation, it is the life of those already saved by the King. In His portrait, Jesus describes the inner posture of every true citizen of His kingdom. This sermon explores the first four Beatitudes - poverty of spirit, mourning over sin, meekness, and hunger for righteousness - as the inner life of a true disciple. It is a call to examine the heart, embrace Christ’s sufficiency, and pursue the righteousness only He can give.

Sunday Sermon | The Authority of Apostolic Ministry | 2 Corinthians | Part 10
Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 6:1-13. Paul has been defending his apostleship and is drawing attention to the unique connection between apostle and the authority of the apostle as he proclaims the gospel. It’s the nature of mankind that necessitates continuous authoritative preaching and ministry. We require a continual proclamation of the gospel. We need the encouragement, the revelation of truth, the urgency by the power of the Holy Spirit to probe oneself such that we can see and repent of our sinfulness and truly enjoy this life God has given us. Redemption doesn’t make ministry unnecessary or optional. One of the themes in these verses is the concept of authority. Every molecule in creation works within the paradigm of authority. The same is true of sin; it’s commanded in a way that it’s removed by the power and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our sinful flesh is resistant to authoritative biblical ministry. Paul has to contend not just for his authority but for authority itself.

Sunday Sermon | The Ministry of Reconciliation | 2 Corinthians | Part 9
Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 5:11-21. Our attention may be drawn to three primary themes in this passage. First is the fear of the Lord; the centerpiece of what compels Paul to confidently go forward in Christ. The fear of God must have more to do with God’s people than simply that He doesn’t care what we do and loves us no matter what. The reality is that redemption in Christ results in a new creation, a noticeable change. Are we concerned about the Father’s displeasure of our own sinfulness even though we are redeemed? If we feel a sense of freedom in our sinfulness, then we have misunderstood and diminished the love of Christ and the fear of the Lord because it is not acting as a counterbalance for a holy life. Second, Christ’s love for the redeemed. Paul’s understanding of Christ’s love for him enables Paul to holdfast, stay on task, and to endure all things. The Lord’s joy in His people is our strength. Paul recognized that the Lord Jesus died for him. He died for you. We become inclined to diminish the gift and life of Christ if we think of our redemption in unbiblical terms, as an abstract mass of people; but redemption is very personal. If we don’t view the love of Christ in a personal way, it could never counterbalance a life of faithfulness. The love of Christ compels us. It changes us. We are a new creation. We no longer look at people according to the flesh and a right understanding of this will change the way we act. Thirdly, the glory of new life through being reconciled to Christ. When one becomes a new creation in Christ, everything around them will also change. A life in Christ is a constant source of blessing and encouragement. God is pleading for us to come to Christ and freely receive new life.

Sunday Sermon | Why the Apostle had Good Courage: A Confident Longing for His Heavenly Home | 2 Corinthians | Part 8
Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 5:1-11. Heaven is a place of holiness, happiness, and humility. If we would be ready for heaven, these are the things the apostle Paul would encourage us to recognize. Light, momentary afflictions are integrated into our lives by God’s design for spiritual growth in ourselves and for encouraging others. The Christian life isn’t about avoiding difficulty, the Christian life is shaped by difficulty. In our temporal bodies, we groan as we drag along remnants of our sinful flesh. The point isn’t a discouraging look at redemption but to see there is a profound difference between our earthly tent and the building in heaven. One of the challenges of our lives is spiritual self awareness. What is it that you are really hoping? Paul is helping us to understand the importance of continually having our affections shaped. If we have a wrong perception of the Christian life then we will not realize that we should be encouraged at the way the Spirit is working, that our experiences can be explained spiritually and we can press on and be joyful, not being hampered by temporal, fleeting hindrances to faithfulness. The weight of the normal, Christian life has as its only counterbalance the day of the lord. The redeemed should be fanatically joyful about a future in heaven, but the urgency of the last day should absolutely impact every moment of our lives as we aim to please the Lord.
