Sermon Notes

For many believers, “Jesus is Lord” can remain a theological statement rather than a lived reality. This reflection explores the gap between belief and practice, revealing that true freedom isn’t found in control, options, or self-effort, but in being deeply rooted in Christ. When Jesus is truly Lord, life shifts from striving to fullness, nourished by the only Source that satisfies.

Change meets us at every turn—new seasons, new challenges, new callings. Scripture reminds us that change is not random or accidental; it is ordained by God. Though it can be difficult and uncomfortable, change is necessary for growth, faith, and God’s plan to unfold. Like those in Hebrews 11, we are called to trust God and follow Him faithfully through every season of change.

When life pulls you in a thousand directions, Colossians 1 calls us back to what truly matters. Paul reminds us that Jesus is not just important—He is supreme, holding all things together and deserving first place in everything. In a noisy, crowded world, this chapter offers clarity, grounding our priorities in Christ and the hope of the gospel.

God’s greatest gift was never meant to stop with us. Salvation is personal, but it’s not private—it multiplies when it’s shared. In this message from 2 Corinthians 5, we’re reminded that grace makes us new, reconciles us to God, and invites us into the ministry of reconciliation. The gift is secure. Now it’s time to regift it.
