Coastway Church

In our third and final sermon on the first Fruit of the Spirit, Love, Britt reveals how in our love for neighbor God cares more about our heart and the motives behind why we love our neighbor then what we do to love our neighbor.  

Today in our series in the Fruit of the Spirit we look at Mark 12:28-34 and how everything should be motivated by our love for God

Today Pastor Britt began to unpack the first of three sermons on the pivotal role that love plays in enabling us to bear the fruit of the Spirit. We detour from Galatians over to 1 John 4:7-13 where we see how God's love for us is delivered to us through the Gospel and by the Spirit.

In the final sermon before we dive into the individual Fruit of the Spirit, Britt reveals how we need to depend on the Holy Spirit and watch out for ways we can grieve the Spirit.

Today begins our new mini series in Galatians where we will focus in on the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:16-24.

Continuing in our series in Acts titled "Still Pictures", guest preacher Dr. Jeff Gaskins looks at Acts 5:1-16 and the story of Ananias and Sapphira and how important purity is to the church.

As we kickoff our series looking at the “Still Pictures” found in the book of Acts, we find an example to follow in the unified, gospel fueled, and generous church as it thrives in the midst of persecution and uncertainty.

Jesus' Sermon on the Mount reminds us in Matthew 5:13-16 that the church is already salt and light and that by pressing into that reality we can prevent the decay of the world, and illuminate the way of Jesus to the world.

In Titus 3, we learn about three ways to deploy good works that are empowered by the Gospel of Christ and serve to reveal it to a world in need.

As we continue our study in Haggai, we see how God explains the mystery of holiness to an unholy people bringing hope that can only come by His grace.

In Haggai 2:1-9, we are learn that healthy churches make peace with the past and work toward His vision for the future.

Today guest preacher Will Renfrow reminded the church of the importance of holiness in our response to the grace we've received from Christ, and for the power we need to be effective in our witness. He also encouraged those that do not know Christ that it is not holiness that saves, but that is made possible when we are saved as we repent and believe on Jesus for salvation!

This morning we saw how Haggai's call to prioritize the building of God's house applies to the Church. From this we learned that believers are to rearrange our priorities and return the work of God's house to first place in our lives.

As we embark on our journey through the Old Testament prophet Haggai, we're going to make an equipment stop in Ephesians 2, where we see that the finished work of Christ reconciles enemies and forms the church, which is a spiritual temple where God dwells.

NOTE: We apologize for the errant audio in the first 2:45 of the sermon. Everything clears up after that! Paul's timeless treatment of the Lordship of Christ is applied to the family in Colossians 3:18-21, where we find that a family ordered God's way is best fit to thrive in this confusing and broken world.

In the midst of our hustle, on days like this we slow down and drink in an extended time of scripture reading and focused prayer. Enjoy listening to the singing and reading, and join us in our focused time of prayer through the Psalms!
