In this message, we begin a new series titled, "He Gave Gifts." In this new series, Pastor Jeff Sheeks looks to Romans 5 to show us six precious gifts we receive as Christians. As we look to Romans 5:1, the first gift we reflect upon is peace with God. In receiving salvation, we have been justified by faith, and we now have peace with God. The barrier that has separated God from man has been broken down, and those who trust in him are made new.

On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Jeff Sheeks walks through the resurrection story to show that Jesus is alive and he has given us access to God. The veil has been torn, death has been defeated, and we have the promise of eternal life. With this promise, we also have the warning of eternal judgement to this who don't believe, so we must be faithful to share the gospel with those around us.

On this Palm Sunday, Pastor Jeff Sheeks prepares us for Easter by looking to multiple stories in the Gospel of Luke to show how Jesus demonstrates his power over death. Before Jesus is crucified and rises three days later, he shows that he already had the power to bring life. In these two stories from Luke, Jesus raises from the dead and shows that he is the one who not only brings physical resurrection but also spiritual resurrection to those who follow him.

In this final message in our series, "On This Rock", Pastor Jeff Sheeks reminds us of one final commitment we make as Christians. Through this series, we have been reminded of the importance of committing to a local church, participating in the body, and looking to God's Word as the ultimate authority. Finally, we commit ourselves to both giving faithfully and cheerfully and to serving sacrificially. The money and the resources we have already belong to God, so we give back to him as an act of worship and gratitude of the work he's done in our lives.

In this message, Pastor Jeff Sheeks looks to multiple passages of Scripture to answer the question, "How should we discipline?" Church discipline is an important biblical concept, yet it is often avoided when needed. This sermon seeks to answer the questions of when it is necessary, how it fits into the regular gatherings of the church, and how its intention is for the health and purity of the church.

In this message, Pastor Jeff Sheeks continues our Series, "On This Rock", discussing the importance of unity in the life of the church. Looking to Ephesians 4, Scripture shows us that unity is vital if we are to live in the gospel together. Here, we learn that disunity and uniformity should not mark the church but genuine unity.

As we continue our series, "On this Rock", Pastor Jeff Sheeks looks to an array of biblical passages to explain how Christians ought to be different from the world around them. This sermon works as part two of the previous message titled, "Who Has the Final Word?", and gives us six promises we make as believers. As Christians, we submit to the authority of Scripture, pursue holiness as our worship, avoid sinful entanglements, discipline ourselves toward holiness, commit to sexual purity and loyalty, and lastly, commit to obey the biblical ordinances: baptism by immersion and communion.
