LIFEGATE DENVER SERMONS

<p>In the book of James we learn to live out our True Faith not by avoiding trials but by walking through them. In this message we hear from Pastor Nirup on what it looks like to be steadfast under trial in order that we would receive the "Crown of life" that God gives us through Jesus.</p>

<p>In the book of James we learn to live out our True Faith not by avoiding trials but by walking through them. While trials may come, we are given the opportunity to ask God for wisdom, but we must ask in faith. The opposite of faith is unbelief and many of us are in a real fight with doubt. In the message, Pastor Nirup talks about our humility in this and that God honors the fight.</p>

<p>James is the brother of Jesus but he is a servant of God. He begins his book by reminding Christians that in this life we will have trials and we will suffer. But even in that God is good and through suffering we can experience the joy of Christ. Every trial has a <a href="http://purpose...and" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">purpose...and</a> that purpose is to strengthen our faith and bring glory to God.</p>

<p>If the Gospel of John ended with the death of Jesus it would simply be, an ordinary biography. But it is no ordinary story. The story of Jesus is the greatest story ever told, about the greatest PERSON who ever lived. On this Easter Sunday, we take a deeper look into the resurrection of Jesus. We see how Jesus had a marvelous encounter with Thomas, and through the kindness of Jesus, we see a man go from being a doubter to a believer!</p>

Though the story doesn't end there, we do live in the hope of Christ's finished work on the cross.</p>

We see from this text that Jesus stands in our place, taking on every accusation so that we who are in Christ never have to.</p>

<p>The Gospel of John is a masterpiece of storytelling. Through out the text we see a marvelous story of God's unfailing love and glorious splendor displayed. In John 18:28-40 Jesus is on trial before Pilate, the Roman Governor. During an exchange with Pilate, Jesus presents to him the choice of two very different kingdoms - the kingdom of this world, and the Kingdom of God. The beauty of this text is that Jesus presents this same choice to you.</p>

Like Peter, the Spirit of God is leading us into obedience.</p>

<p>The Gospel of John is a masterpiece of storytelling. Through out the text we see a marvelous story of God's unfailing love and glorious splendor displayed.

In John 17:1-5, we see that Jesus was not thinking about us when He went to the cross. He was thinking about glorifying God the Father. In our own daily lives, as we move and breath are we thinking about “me” and “us” and our glory or are we thinking about the glory of God?</p>

<p>When someone hurts us we feel a deep wound in our souls that leads us to believe that the person who hurt us, owes us a debt. We are driven by unforgiveness which is a emotional and spiritual choke hold which slowly kills us. In this message we take a close look at forgiveness.</p>

<p>Whether we admit it or not we tend to compare ourselves with others on a daily basis. While this is natural to do it quickly leads to a life of less joy. The reason this is, is because deep down we believe we are owed something from God and others. We believe we have earned something that someone else has. In this series we will look to unpack this idea of "I Deserve It" and see what the Gospel says about what we deserve and remember the generous gift of grace that God has given us.</p>
