Connection Church Sioux Falls

Think of the greatest brother you can imagine. Jesus is greater.

Jesus tasted death so that you could taste life.

Set your sights on the one who set his sights on your redemption.

Jesus is the greater messenger because he is the greater message.

Jesus is our great and true prophet, priest, and king.

Jesus is the greater revelation of God; what God speaks in the person and work of Jesus is greater than any word that has ever been spoken.

God has established a new covenant in Jesus, and it is for you; to receive and deliver to others.

The gospel is for the religious, the broken, and the pagan.

Jesus' death and resurrection are the ultimate sign David prayed for and pointed toward.

Jesus is the glorious king, the gracious groom; and we are his bride, the ones he has made his own.

No shame or condemnation will prevail over us because Jesus, who endured and outlasted betrayal and death, is the compassionate one for those in need forever and ever.

No shame or condemnation will prevail over us because Jesus, who endured and outlasted the weight of our shame and condemnation is our rock, our refuge, and our strong fortress to save.

Through the grace of Christ alone we stand perfectly justified.

From A-to-Z, all praise for all of who God is and what God has done will come from all people and places.

God’s powerful Voice, revealed in nature by moving the unmovable and shaking the unshakable, points us to the power of Jesus voice to change the unchangeable heart.

Jesus pays the penalty in the stead of any who betray him in order to redeem and heal them.

We are prone to want some means of control over things that God has said he is responsible for, so we give time and emotional energy to them, resulting in a restless soul. If we choose to, we can calm and quiet our souls by giving our time and energy to the things God has assigned to us, while resting in his authority and faithfulness to handle the things that are too high for us.

When we are afraid, suffering, or alone, we can trust God's character, believe in God's promises, and place our hope in His Son, Jesus.

In creation we have been given the ability to discern right from wrong or have a sense of it, and in Christ we have been given the perfect standard.

If, for you, the worship of God isn’t marked by a deep and abiding joy or excitement, you haven’t yet fully considered - or been transformed by - the miracle of salvation.

Through prayer God, who has dealt bountifully with us in Jesus, hears us and is near despite how we feel in dire circumstances.

In him we now are a royal priesthood, a kingly people with a priestly intercession for the world, a ministry of reconciliation, a prophetic people with the words of life.

Jesus, the Son of Man, the one who has the power and right to judge your sin was judged in your place. https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?qs_version=ESV&quicksearch=%22son+of+man%22&begin=47&end=47

Jesus is the Son of God, God in the flesh, with divine power and authority to carry out His redemptive plan for His people.

What the children of Israel had by birth you and I have perfectly by faith in Jesus Christ.

How the past, present, and future implications of the gospel affect our lives, today.

Does God really love us? How does he show it to us? What difference does that make in our lives? This week’s message by guest speaker, Pastor Steve Treichler from Hope Community Church in Minneapolis aims to address these questions to encourage you as you begin the next 10 years of Connection Church!

Live your life in light of Gospel love.

We are raised with Christ, made alive to go and tell with Christ.

The resurrection is God's pursuit of runaways and outcasts to welcome them as family.

The death of Jesus bring life and invites the outsiders in.

Jesus is our acceptance through humiliation.

Apart from the work of Jesus coming to seek and save the lost, there is no hope.

Matthew does not want us to be moved that Jesus got beat up. Matthew wants us to be moved that Jesus died to take our place.

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the Son of Man, and the Lamb of God who came for those who would betray, abandon, and deny him.

Jesus came to be fully like us in order to be fully for us.

Our culture tends to try to minimize our pains and weaknesses, but it is when we are weak that Christ's power is perfected.

Jesus dines with weak, sinful people, because that is the only kind of people there are.

Our life of faith is limitless when our desires are strengthened by the power of the spirit, the presence of the love of Christ, and possessing all the fullness of God.

Jesus was the priceless alabaster flask of treasure, the great priceless heirloom of our Heavenly Father, broken and poured out for you and for me.

Wait with readiness, humble and grateful investment, and generous benevolence because Christ is on his way.

Jesus is the one who knows the difficult future, who meets us in it, and will come back to rescue us through it.

What do we do with the inconsistency that we feel between who we think we are and our external reality? Go to the open arms of Jesus.

Jesus is more worthy of trust than anyone or anything. In your weariness, dont turn away but fix your gaxe upon him, consider him, and run to him with abandon.

Since we suffer and die, Jesus suffered and died, so that we would be emancipated from the fear of suffering or dying and greatly helped in our weakness.

Jesus is the redemptive paradox - the son of David and the son of God, the baby in the manger and yet redeemer and ruler of the world.

We have been invited to a feast that we do not deserve to attend, and we have been commanded by the King to invite whomever we find.

Jesus is the Son of God given to us as a cornerstone upon which we will build an abundant life.

We are called by God to repent and bear the fruit of obedience, and to do that, we desperately need Jesus as both our example and our substitute.

Jesus is the coming king to reign, because he came as the humble king to serve.
