Sycamore Hill Church - Hockessin Campus

Jesus is the proven son of God. 

Jesus is God's powerful son.

Jesus is God's perfect son.

Jesus is God's promised son.

If our struggles are cyclical, there's a good chance the problem resides within. The first step toward breaking the pattern is to honestly confront the depth of our relationship with the Lord.

The Lord can pour out His mercy to stand us up, and yet we can still walk away.

When God calls us into something, we may be afraid. And yet, He goes before us, invites us to follow Him, and remains close to us as we travel through our fear.

False gods cost more than expected and give nothing in return. Jesus has paid the cost of our sin and gives us everything.

Our own sin seeks to blind us to the part we play in the problems we face, but if we we are willing to examine ourselves and allow God to draw near, He can deliver us.

Whether it be ungratefulness in the midst of a gift, pride borne out of success, or simply settling to escape hardship, we must be wary of these phenomena when setting out to do the work God has for us.

Spreading well depends upon the Spirit moving in a growing and maturing community.

What's at work in us that ends up producing the actions that come from us?

There are things to come that we ought not give too much of our attention, while on the other hand there are things to come that will truly test us.

May the Lord give us a humble heart to question the very things we adhere to.

What hope do we have faced with the immovable inevitability of death? For those willing to admit their need for Him, Jesus has already rolled the stone away.

Jesus was spared nothing in His suffering so that we might have a full salvation. He even endured being forsaken by God so that we might never be...

Though Jesus was mocked and rejected, He is ready to accept all who would call upon His name.

May our prayers be ones of boldness and vulnerability, so that when our time of testing comes, others will see that we have been with Jesus.

A true disciple loves the Lord openly and sacrificially, even if their actions are misunderstood or criticized. 

Jesus reveals how all we are rightfully belongs to God, and to love Him with all that we have is the essence of discipleship.   

Jesus is our ultimate authority. When will we let go of our claims to the throne?

The fruit we bear is not merely a measure of our faith, but rather an outworking of our satisfaction in Christ, the object of our faith.

How do we know if we're approaching Jesus in the right way? Can we filter through the noise to dial into what He is truly offering us?

We must be willing to tear down facades we create to see what God is building and what he asks us to be a part of. 

Whether it be expectations, prejudgments of others, or something we've worked so hard to achieve, we are often called to let them go to wholeheartedly follow Jesus.

God has made provision for our hard hearts, but we grow in our faith when we stop asking what's allowed and start pursuing His good design.

We must be willing to be salted by fire, allowing Jesus to preserve us, purify us, and wholly transform us.

Are we prepared to see Jesus for who He has revealed Himself to be? We cannot afford to hold on to an incomplete version of Him.

The way we understand who Jesus is affects our ability to have our lives molded by His.

The Lord is sovereign over all our circumstances, working His lovingkindness into our lives and through us to the world.

When we are far off, there is a Redeemer to rescue us.

When we observe our lives through God's eyes, we can see the ways that he is at work and we can say "Everything is going to be okay."

In milestone-heavy seasons, we need to be all the more spiritually awake so that we cross them well.

When faced with the hardships of this life, Jesus is the one we can cling to, and He is the one who will take us back home.

Increased distance from the Lord is never a solution for the difficulties we face.

A spirit-filled church is not the same as a collective of spirit-filled individuals.

We must be willing to accept that God will allow disruption in our lives to refine us with His Spirit.

Ministry tasks can take on many forms, including things anyone could do, things you are gifted to do, and things you must do. All of them work together for the common good of the church.

When we walk with the Spirit, we can see an outflow of His power through the fruits we bear and the gifts we share.

In the midst of difficulty, can we receive the good through the groaning? Can we walk with the Spirit who advocates for us in perfect alignment with God's will?

How do we KNOW we have received the Spirit? And if we have indeed received Him, why is our spiritual experience seemingly limited?

Christianity is not merely accepting the gift of Jesus' righteousness, but also walking in the Spirit.

Sometimes, ensuring our spiritual house is in order is worth the small discomfort of testing it, lest we be caught asleep.

Compromising our faith is not an option in God's Kingdom.

Let us strive to maintain the faithfulness shown by these churches whom Jesus commends.

Jesus calls the first church to remember and return to their first love.
