A Radical Gospel Community

A Radical Community | Acts 4: 32–37 | Pastor Joey Zorina

What does a community changed by the Gospel look like? Last week we saw in ch. 4, that in the face of opposition, the apostles trusted in God’s sovereignty and the power of prayer. V. 31 says that when they had prayed, the entire place was shaken and they continued to speak the word with boldness. The preaching of the Word was so effective that it radically changed their community. So in our passage, we’ll see:- a) The unity beneath the surface. b) The power to testify of Jesus. c) The grace to share our treasures.

Fasting To Be Seen Only By God

Fasting To Be Seen By God | Matt. 6: 1–6, 16–18 | Pastor Joey

Have you experienced the joy of secret fasting? Our text comes right in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount that Jesus gave in chapters 5-7. Here in ch. 6, Jesus assumes that His followers would live a lifestyle of giving, praying and fasting in secret. So from our passage, here are 3 insights we are going to follow:- a) When you give to be seen. b) When you pray to be seen. c) When you fast to be seen.

The Holy Spirit | The Spirit-Led Jesus

The Holy Spirit | The Spirit-Led Jesus | Luke 4: 1–14 |

In v. 1 Luke says that Jesus is “led by the Spirit in the wilderness”—where He faced many temptations from the devil. How can we follow the Spirit instead of giving in to temptations? To answer that, we see:- a) Jesus is tempted with instant gratification. b) Jesus is tempted with power and glory. c) Jesus is tempted with self-serving identity. How does Jesus overcome His temptations?

The Holy Spirit | The Spirit of Prayer

The Holy Spirit | The Spirit of Prayer | Romans 8: 22–30 |

In this chapter, Paul uses the word ‘Spirit’ twenty-one times. Paul says in v. 26 the Spirit helps us in our weakness and prays for us. How does the Spirit help us? What does He pray for us? From our text, we see that:- a) The Spirit works patience in our groanings. b) The Spirit helps in our weakness and prayer. c) The Spirit shows our future glory with Christ.

Conflict and Redemption in the Family

JESUS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT | Genesis 13: 1-18 | Pastor Joey Zorina

After the Lord rescued Sarai from Pharaoh, Abram, Lot and Sarai left Egypt with great riches. But as they came up from Egypt, their possessions began to create conflict in their family. From our passage, we’re going to see:- a) The struggle for power in the family. b) The pursuit of peace in the family. c) The seed of redemption in the family.

Be The Church Series | Together In Spiritual Warfare

Be The Church Series | Together In Spiritual Warfare | Ephesians 6: 10-20 | Pastor Joey Zorina

In this episode, we turn to Ephesians which shines a bright light on the work of Christ and His love for His church. Here, Paul shows that behind the Roman persecution and imprisonment, there were much darker forces at work. Follow along as we look at:- a) The schemes of evil that come against us. b) The armor of God by which we stand. c) The Word and prayer by which we advance.
