Romans VIII: Act Like Children (Romans 8:14-17)
Declaration Church
This past Sunday, we looked at what it means to live as children of God through the Spirit. Because we have received the Spirit of adoption, we are no longer slaves, but sons and daughters who can approach God with confidence, knowing He is our Father. The Spirit assures us of our identity in Christ and helps us live as His children. Are you living with a slave mentality or a son’s confidence? Want to watch a version of this message?

Romans VIII: Debtors, Deeds, and Death (Romans 8:12-13)
Declaration Church
This past Sunday, we looked at what it means to put to death the deeds of the body by the Spirit. We don’t fight sin in our own strength or simply try to manage it. Instead, by the power of the Spirit, we put sin to death, deny its desires, and starve its cravings. Are you killing sin, or is sin killing you? Want to watch a version of this message?

Romans VIII: New Mindset (Romans 8: 5-8)
Declaration Church
This Sunday, Tyler Wilhelm, our Youth Director, walked us through what it means to have a new mindset. The way we live is shaped by what our minds are set on. The flesh is anything minus God, and when our minds are set on the flesh, it leads to death. But when our minds are set on the Spirit, there is life and peace. What is your mind set on?

Encounter: Law + Prophets Point to Me! (Luke 24)
Declaration Church
This Sunday we walked through Luke 24 and were reminded that the burdens the Lord puts on our hearts can be pure evidence that He desires to answer and redeem them. Sometimes He asks us to keep praying, keep pressing in, and even "sweat a little" so that when He moves, we know it could only have been Him. From the beginning, His desire has been to give grace so that we would praise the Glory of His grace. Want to watch a version of this message?

info_outlineOur College Director, Cam Tovias, continued our Encounter series this Sunday and looked at the story of Jacob Wrestling with God. As we read through this story we see Jacob refused to let go until he received a blessing. We are encouraged to cling to God when life is difficult, uncertain, or painful. God often does some of His deepest work in us through seasons of wrestling, shaping our identity and teaching us to wrestle with Him.
