LIFEGATE DENVER SERMONS

<p>We face death everyday. There are temptations calling us in every which direction. Voices leading us astray, telling us lies about what we believe. A Life of Vitality is required to live a life like Jesus.</p>

<p>Today, as we study John 11 we see both Jesus' miraculous power to raise the dead and his tendency to confront the agreements we hold most dear.</p>

<p>Genuine faith requires great testing.</p>

<p>Two words. One call. Everything changes.</p>

<p>The secret to life is to live upside-down.</p>

<p>Discipleship begins with Jesus asking us what we are looking for.</p>

<p>Peter's first letter concludes with the mention of three unseen powers. Today we unpack the significance each has on our life and the role they play to lead us to our eternal destiny with Christ.</p>

<p>Everyone hates being subject to authority, but when we humbly submit ourselves to a caring king, we will be lifted up to places only God can take us.</p>

<p>The greatest calling of your life is to connect your heart with God's.</p>

<p>Suffering can be expected on this side of heaven, but as believers we have a choice: will we trust a good God, or take our life into our own hands?</p>

<p>The reputation of the church matters.</p>

<p>There is no greater passion than living for the glory of Christ.</p>

<p>Jesus taught his disciples, "love your neighbor and pray for those who persecute you." In 1 Peter 3:8-17, the Apostle seeks to pass on this teaching to his audience in an attempt to significantly improve the effectiveness of the church.</p>

<p>Marriage is a momentary gift with eternal significance.</p>

<p>The tension between personal rights and a greater glory.</p>

<p>Chosen and Rejected: A life of exile is a reality of being chosen by God and rejected by men. Though sometimes difficult to embrace, we can be encouraged because Jesus too was chosen and rejected.</p>

<p>God has a purpose for your life and He guarantees to bring you into it.</p>

<p>The time of exile is not merely a time of waiting, it is a time of engagement. In 1 Peter 1:13-21 the apostle shows that as exiles, we are called to engage in the behavior and character of God.</p>

<p>The Trials you're facing are not the end when God is still present.</p>

<p>The New Covenant is more than an additional covenant. It is the fulfillment of all preceding covenants that reveal the God of Glory.</p>

<p>The gift of grace is the invitation to reject a life of striving for God and instead rest in the presence of God.</p>

<p>The third biblical covenant is called the "Mosaic Covenant." Through Moses God calls His people a holy nation of priests in the Kingdom as a demonstration of His divine power.</p>

<p>God's design for our spiritual formation is found in families. God-fearing families help prepare you for the call God has on your life.</p>
