LIFEGATE DENVER SERMONS

<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>

<p>Through the Abrahamic covenant, God reveals himself to be faithful and true. This reality sets before us an opportunity to hope in something certain and assured.</p>

<p>When we see the water rising it's often the sign of God's mercy flowing.</p>

<p>Easter is the greatest invitation available for you.</p>

<p>Good Friday is an opportunity to consider anew the cross of Christ. This year we behold the crucified king from the perspective of four unlikely characters.</p>

<p>As we celebrate Palm Sunday we are reminded that in Jesus the Kingdom reality is always better than our earthly expectations.</p>

<p>What our culture says about sex and what it promises isn't working. We need a new way.</p>
