Living in His Spirit | Living the Good Life (Week 2) | Rex Keener by Grace Fellowship Church
Do you still carry guilt for things God has already forgiven? You’re not alone. So many Christians live burdened by past sins—even after repenting and surrendering their lives to Christ.

Explore the profound insights of "The Secret of Contentment" in this concluding sermon of our series, "A Life Worth Living." In a world where discontentment runs rampant, affecting everything from our relationships to our finances, this message provides a much-needed antidote. By fostering a deep, daily connection with Christ, we can learn to be content and even find joy in any situation.This sermon addresses a pervasive issue many of us face: the constant desire for more, whether it's a new car, a larger home, a higher salary, or a different body. Through relatable anecdotes and biblical wisdom, we examine how this "disease" of discontentment infiltrates our lives, causing us to compare, compete, and ultimately, feel unfulfilled.Discover how to break free from this cycle by understanding two common misconceptions about contentment. Learn why it doesn’t mean giving up healthy ambitions or living in a state of perpetual pleasure. Instead, contentment is about appreciating what you have and finding joy in the blessings around you, rather than constantly seeking what’s next.Through the teachings of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:12-13, we uncover the secret of being content in all circumstances. Paul’s life, filled with trials and tribulations, serves as a powerful example of how true contentment isn’t tied to external conditions but is rooted in a spiritual foundation.This sermon also offers practical strategies to cultivate contentment, such as avoiding comparisons and cherishing human relationships over material wealth. These principles are essential for anyone looking to lead a more satisfying and spiritually rich life.Reflect on the wisdom of Proverbs 6:6-11 and 1 Timothy 6:6, and how they guide us towards a life of industry, gratitude, and godliness. Understand the importance of building good relationships, as emphasized by the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which concludes that "the good life is built with good relationships."This message is a powerful reminder that while financial and material goals are important, they should not overshadow our primary ambition as followers of Christ: to live a life of contentment and to bring others along on our journey of faith. Embrace the secrets shared in this sermon to transform your perspective and find lasting peace and happiness in your daily life.——Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/gracefellowshipnyTo give online: https://gracefellowship.com/give/To glorify God by making more and better disciples.

Dive into Philippians 3:1-11 with us as we explore the profound difference between empty religious rituals and a true relationship with Jesus Christ.Our focus is on how symbolic religious acts can overshadow the genuine spiritual substance they are meant to represent. When these symbols become mere rituals, they lose their meaning and spiritual vitality. We delve into the Apostle Paul's journey of losing his religion to gain a deeper relationship with Christ.The sermon will challenge us to reflect on our own lives and the things we may idolize or pursue with zeal. Paul, once a devout follower of the Jewish law, realized that his strict adherence to religious practices was not enough. He had to lose his religion to truly find salvation in Jesus.We'll also discuss the modern parallels of this struggle, where people often believe that performing religious duties or achieving personal success will earn them favor with God. Paul's testimony in Philippians 3 serves as a powerful reminder that true righteousness and fulfillment come from knowing Christ personally, not through our own efforts.Reflect on these questions as we prepare for the sermon:- What are you trusting in for your spiritual fulfillment?- Are there rituals or practices in your life that have lost their true meaning?- How can you deepen your relationship with Christ beyond religious routines?Paul’s radical transformation is a powerful testament to the futility of religion without a personal connection to Christ. He invites us to see that true gain is found in Christ alone. Everything else pales in comparison to the surpassing greatness of knowing Jesus.This sermon is a call to examine our own lives and ensure that our faith is rooted in a genuine relationship with Christ, not in religious rituals or personal achievements. It's about losing our religion to gain something far more valuable: a vibrant, life-giving relationship with our Savior.Join us to discover how you can move from religion to reality in your spiritual journey. Experience the joy, peace, and fulfillment that come from knowing Christ deeply and personally. This could be the most important message you have ever heard. Don’t miss it!

In this powerful sermon titled "Gravity of the Gospel," Paolino Curto, Communications Specialist, delves into the profound significance of Christianity, drawing inspiration from the timeless words of C.S. Lewis. Lewis, one of the most well-known Christian thinkers of the 20th century, famously stated, “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.” This thought-provoking quote serves as the foundation for exploring why the Christian faith is not just a set of good morals or a comforting belief system but something of utmost, eternal importance.Paolino acknowledges the immense impact Lewis has had on the world and on Christianity. Lewis's insight about the all-or-nothing nature of Christianity resonates deeply with the Apostle Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul emphasizes the centrality of the Gospel: Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.As Paolino wrestles with the question, "What makes Christianity so important?", he concludes that the Gospel is the only answer that adequately addresses the deepest questions of life. In a world filled with division, war, and anxiety, the need for the Gospel is as crucial as ever. Curto breaks down three aspects of the Gospel that underscore its infinite importance, not only for salvation but for living the life God intends for us.The first aspect is that we are saved by a person—Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 declares, “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Curto emphasizes that salvation is not something we can earn through our actions; it is a gift offered by Jesus, who lived a sinless life and gave Himself for us. Drawing from Charles Spurgeon’s analogy, he explains that trying to earn salvation is like dressing a corpse—it’s futile because only God can give life.The second aspect highlights that we are saved powerfully. Many Christians struggle with the idea that their standing with God depends on their daily actions, but Curto reassures that our salvation is secure because it was earned by Jesus, not by us. Ephesians 1:13-14 speaks to the assurance of our salvation: “When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance.” This powerful truth should fill us with confidence and wonder, knowing that no one can snatch us out of God’s hand.Finally, Curto explores how we are saved for a purpose. Christianity is not just about living a quiet, comfortable life; it’s about knowing God intimately and making Him known. Drawing from John 17:3, Curto explains that eternal life is not merely about going to heaven but about having a deep, intimate relationship with God. He challenges listeners to examine their lives and ask if they are truly living out this purpose or if they are merely scratching the surface of what God intends for them.Throughout the sermon, Curto weaves in personal anecdotes and relatable analogies to make complex theological concepts more accessible. He also addresses common struggles Christians face, such as the temptation to punish themselves for sin or the challenge of living out their faith in a world that often sees Christianity as only moderately important.In conclusion, "Gravity of the Gospel" is a compelling call to recognize the infinite importance of Christianity. It challenges believers to move beyond a superficial understanding of their faith and to fully embrace the life-changing power of the Gospel. Whether you’ve been a Christian for decades or are still exploring what you believe, this sermon invites you to consider the true gravity of the Gospel and its impact on your life.Join us in this deep dive into the heart of the Christian faith and discover why the Gospel is not just good news—it’s the best news, infinitely important for every person in every moment of life.
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Rex Keener explores the profound implications of Jesus' famous last words in Acts 1:8. He challenges us to consider our role in fulfilling Christ's commission to be His witnesses, starting from where we are and expanding outward.Pastor Rex delves into the concept of a "new custom" for followers of Jesus - taking the whole gospel to the whole world. He emphasizes that this calling isn't just for professional ministers or missionaries, but for every believer. Drawing fascinating parallels between the outline of Acts and Jesus' instructions, Pastor Rex shows how the early church lived out this commission.But why start at home? The sermon tackles this challenging aspect head-on, acknowledging that it's often harder to share our faith with those who know us best. Using vivid examples from the disciples' lives, Pastor Rex illustrates how God uses flawed people to share His perfect message.The message then expands to consider our "Judea" and "Samaria" - areas beyond our immediate comfort zone where we're called to witness. What does this look like in our modern context? How do we cross cultural, social, and ideological boundaries to share the gospel?Perhaps most provocatively, Pastor Rex compares Acts 1:8 with Acts 8:1, revealing how the early church's initial reluctance to move beyond Jerusalem led to persecution that ultimately drove them to obedience. This serves as a powerful reminder that God often uses discomfort and challenges to propel us into our calling.Ultimately, this sermon is a rallying cry for every believer to embrace their role in God's mission. It's not about waiting for perfect circumstances or relying on professionals - it's about ordinary people allowing God to work through them in extraordinary ways.Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone and join God in His work? Pastor Rex's message will inspire you to look at your daily life with fresh eyes, seeing opportunities to be a witness wherever you are. Don't miss this challenging and encouraging exploration of what it means to truly live out Jesus' famous last words in our modern world.Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/gracefellowshipnyTo give online: https://gracefellowship.com/give/
In this first part of the "Famous Last Words" series, Pastor Rex Keener dives deep into the transformative power of Jesus' final words before His ascension. As we explore Acts 1:4-9, Pastor Keener unpacks the profound significance of Jesus’ promise to His disciples—a promise that offered them a new capacity and a new calling to represent Him well. Pastor Rex begins by reflecting on the intriguing nature of famous last words, sharing memorable examples that range from the humorous to the profound. But none are more impactful than the last words of Jesus Christ. These words, spoken just before He ascended to the right hand of the Father, were not only a farewell but also a commissioning. They provided the disciples with a powerful vision for their future—a future where they would become His witnesses to the ends of the earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit.Throughout the sermon, Pastor Keener highlights how Jesus’ words offered the disciples a new capacity through the Holy Spirit. This capacity wasn't just about human strength or resolve; it was a divine empowerment—"dunamis"—that gave them the courage and power to carry out the mission Jesus entrusted to them. Pastor Rex explains the different names of the Holy Spirit found in Scripture, each representing a unique aspect of His work in our lives. But here, the focus is on the Spirit of Power, who provides the disciples—and us—with the strength to live out our faith boldly and effectively.However, this empowerment doesn’t come without a cost. Pastor Keener challenges us to consider whether we’ve ever been truly broken before the Lord. It’s in our moments of brokenness, when we despair of our own abilities and recognize our need for God, that we are most open to receiving His power. Just as the disciples had to be broken before they could be empowered, we too must reach the end of our own strength before we can fully rely on God’s.In addition to this new capacity, Pastor Rex speaks on the new calling that Jesus gave His disciples—to be His witnesses. This wasn’t just a task to check off a list but a new identity. As Christ-followers, we are called to represent Him in every aspect of our lives. Pastor Rex illustrates this with a personal story about his early ministry days, where he grappled with how our lives can either attract or repel others from Christ. It’s a powerful reminder that our witness is more about who we are than just what we do.As the sermon draws to a close, Pastor Rex encourages us to reflect on our own lives. Are we living as effective witnesses for Christ? Have we truly embraced the new capacity and calling that comes with being a follower of Jesus? He sets the stage for the next sermon, where he will explore the new custom that Jesus outlined for His disciples—a pattern of ever-expanding influence that begins at home and extends to the ends of the earth.Join us for this inspiring and challenging message as we learn what it means to live with a new capacity and calling, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to representing Jesus well in every aspect of our lives. Don't miss the continuation of this series next week, where we’ll dive into the practical outworking of this mission.We pray this message from August 18, 2024 will bless you!!Subscribe to our channel: www.youtube.com/gracefellowshipnyTo give online: gracefellowship.com/give/To glorify God by making more and better disciples.

Here's an extended 6000 character YouTube description for the sermon "INTEGRITY ROCKS":Do you dream of influencing others in a deeply positive way? Of leaving an impactcful legacy that reverberates long after you're gone? Of living a life that genuinely matters? If your answer is yes, this thought-provoking sermon on the paramount importance of integrity is an absolute must-watch.The speaker begins by clearly defining integrity as having honesty and strong moral principles intertwined with living a life of wholeness and consistency – being authentically the same person privately as you are publicly. He drives home the vital point that for anyone aspiring to be a champion for Christ, integrity is not just an admirable trait, but a non-negotiable essential for having real, lasting positive influence.The sermon pivots to providing context around the backdrop against which the apostle Paul was fervently defending his own integrity. In the church at Corinth, false teachers were viciously attacking Paul's character and credibility in an attempt to completely discredit his message. The speaker paints a vivid parallel, likening it to Paul being in Boston while needing to address a severe church issue in Albany (representing Corinth), but first writing a strongly-worded rebuke letter rather than revisiting immediately due to the strained dynamics on his first visit when many sided with his detractors.From this gripping context, two profound principles emerge that radiate relevance into our own lives today:1) A steadfastly consistent life of integrity is our single greatest source of positive impact and influence. The simple truth driven home is that our words, our message, will always be filtered through the lens of our character. Whether you deeply desire to shape your children, your coworkers, your extended family, or any other relationship for the better, integrity is not just an asset but an absolute prerequisite. Even the esteemed Bryan Clay, 2008 Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon, underscored that any definition of true greatness is incomplete if it fails to account for integrity of character.2) No matter your commitment to integrity, it is an inescapable reality that it will be tested – likely repeatedly. Thus, the critical imperative is to carefully consider the long-term ramifications of your decisions in those crucible integrity moments. The speaker shares an extraordinarily gripping story of an 11-year-old boy who, after catching a prized, Monster-sized bass just before the season opened, had his integrity put to the fire by his father insisting he throw the remarkable catch back into the water in accordance with the law. In that singular, fateful moment under the glistening moonlight, the father taught his son a lifelong lesson about choosing to do the right thing even when it costs you.If you make the weighty commitment to live an integrity-driven life, the sermon makes clear you can expect to face similar "integrity checks" that will reveal the true depth of your devotion – akin to Jesus facing theudnerly's temptations in the wilderness immediately after His baptism and committing to His ministry. How you respond when the integrity stakes are highest and no one else is watching will ultimately determine the degree of positive, lasting influence your life can wield.This sermon is a masterclass in making the impassioned, undeniable case that integrity is utterly indispensable for anyone aspiring to make an enduring impact that reverberates long after their time on Earth. It's a potent reminder that the "who"– the person living a life of whole, uncompromising integrity – is every bit as critical as the "what" of your message and actions.

Have you ever felt frustrated when a business cuts corners or skimps on a product you purchased? Whether it's smaller portions, lower quality ingredients, or lack of customer service, it's infuriating when companies under-deliver on their promises. We demand 100% of what was advertised and won't accept anything less. But in this eye-opening message, Mat Saxon flips the script and asks - are we skimping when it comes to one of the Ten Commandments? Specifically, the fifth commandment to honor our father and mother (Exodus 20:12). Mat exposes three selfish ways we tend to skimp on this foundational command:1) By assuming we "age out" of the commandment once we become adults. Using Mark 7:9-12 and Proverbs 23, Mat shows this commandment has no expiration date - we are called to honor aging parents till their last breath.2) By refusing to honor flawed or dysfunctional parents. While no parent is perfect, the Bible is clear in Leviticus 19:3 that we must revere our mother and father period, no exceptions. Just as we are to honor imperfect authorities (1 Peter 2:17), we give honor because it is righteous, not because our parents "earned" it.3) By turning appropriate boundaries into unbiblical blockades. Using examples of Jesus honoring His mother and wisdom from Romans 14:19, we see that while boundaries are wise, completely shutting parents out dishonors them. A Biblical balance is needed.With convicting truths and insightful illustrations, Mat calls us to repent of the ways we skimp on this clear command. We may demand 100% from companies, but do we settle for giving God 70% obedience? Mat exhorts us to honor our parents not just with obedience as children, but with our speech, actions, priorities and care as adults.Whether your parents were amazing or deeply dysfunctional, this message will reshape your perspective on the fifth commandment. You'll be equipped to honor your parents as the Lord intends while still setting healthy boundaries. Prepare to be challenged, encouraged and gain practical handles for living out this often-neglected command.We insist businesses give us their full product, but are we skimping on what God has asked of us? Watch this powerful sermon and realign your heart to honor your father and mother as Scripture instructs. Obedience here unlocks blessing and displays God's character to a watching world.We pray this message from May 26, 2024 will bless you!!Subscribe to our channel: www.youtube.com/gracefellowshipnyTo give online: gracefellowship.com/give/To glorify God by making more and better disciples.

We've all had that friend who seemed supportive on the surface, but deep down you knew something wasn't quite right. We could call this type of person a "frenemy" - someone who pretends to be your friend but is actually working against you behind the scenes. In this eye-opening message, Mat Saxon dives into God's Word to reveal three major red flags that expose a frenemy.We'll learn how frenemies use excessive flattery to manipulate us and get what they want. We'll also see how frenemies enable our self-destructive behaviors by greenlighting bad decisions, unlike true friends who lovingly speak the truth even when it's hard (Proverbs 27:6).Perhaps most insidiously, frenemies view us as temporary - they only stick around as long as the friendship benefits them. True biblical friendship means being "born to help in time of need" (Proverbs 17:17). Jesus himself modeled this sacrificial love by laying down his life for his friends (John 15:13).If you've ever been burned by a frenemy or want to become a better friend yourself, you won't want to miss this convicting and practical teaching. Mat unpacks the signs of a frenemy using vivid examples and razor-sharp truth from Scripture. You'll walk away with a new lens for evaluating the company you keep and Biblical wisdom for cultivating life-giving relationships.We all need friends who will push us toward Christ, not enable our sin. Let's heed God's call in 1 Corinthians to not be misled - "Bad company corrupts good morals." Join us for this powerful revelation on how to identify and deal with frenemies from a Biblical perspective.We pray this message from May 19, 2024 will bless you!!Subscribe to our channel: www.youtube.com/gracefellowshipnyTo give online: gracefellowship.com/give/To glorify God by making more and better disciples.

In this thought-provoking message titled "Catalytic Grandparents," part of the "Life-Giving Relationships" sermon series, Pastor Rex Keener delves into the profound impact that grandparents have on their grandchildren. Though this message pertains to grandparents, the principles are applicable and universal for relationships in the Christian life.Drawing from the profound impact of Timothy's grandmother Lois, as well as the first appearance of Grandparental blessing in Genesis 48, Pastor Rex concludes that Christian grandparents should remember the importance of their presence in the lives of their grandchildren, that they should share their spiritual values and faith, and finally, seek to finish the race called life well.We are deeply grateful for your time and attention to this message from May 5, 2024. We pray that it will bless you and inspire you in your journey as Christian grandparents and members of our church community.
In this insightful message titled "Nurturing Parents," part of the "Life-Giving Relationships" series, Pastor Rex Keener dives into the profound impact and immense challenges of parenting, exploring the biblical blueprint for raising children to love God and love people.Drawing from the Old Testament account of Moses' parents, Amram and Jochebed, Pastor Rex highlights the paradox that while children are a tremendous blessing from God, successfully nurturing them is one of life's greatest challenges – a truth that resonates deeply in the 21st century.Through this powerful narrative, Pastor Rex unpacks three key lessons that every parent can glean from the exceptional example of Moses' mother and father.First, he emphasizes the importance of being discerning about your child's aptitudes, temperaments, passions, and gifts. Just as Jochebed recognized something special in young Moses, nurturing parents must intentionally observe and "aim" their children toward the unique callings God has placed within them.Secondly, Pastor Rex explores the need for innovation in dealing with the pressures of parenting. Jochebed's bold and creative plan to protect Moses from Pharaoh's decree serves as a poignant reminder that in a world hostile to spiritual values, parents must be innovatively involved in their children's lives to help them survive and thrive.The third lesson delves into the importance of being sensible to the different seasons of parenting. Drawing from the framework of discipline, training, coaching, and ultimately friendship, Pastor Rex underscores the need for parents to patiently navigate each stage, avoiding the temptation to skip ahead or reverse the order – a common pitfall that can lead to disastrous consequences.Woven throughout the message are real-life anecdotes, insightful research, and practical suggestions, such as the profound impact of regular family meals and intentional conversations. Pastor Rex's candid approach acknowledges the complexities of parenting, reminding listeners that even in the midst of imperfections, the gospel offers redemption and hope.With compassion and wisdom, Pastor Rex addresses the concerns of those who feel they have missed opportunities in their parenting journey, offering an encouraging perspective: Scripture portrays no perfect families, only broken individuals in need of God's grace and redemption.This message is a must-watch for parents at every stage, from those with young children at home to empty-nesters and grandparents. It serves as a timely reminder of the eternal significance of nurturing the next generation and the invaluable role that parents play in shaping the trajectory of their children's lives for good or ill.We pray this message from May 12, 2024 will bless you!!

In this thought-provoking message titled "Meaningful Friendships," part of the "Life-Giving Relationships" sermon series, Pastor Rex Keener delves into the profound impact of godly friendships through the lens of the iconic bond between David and Jonathan from the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel. Drawing wisdom from the research of renowned psychologists John and Julie Gottman, Pastor Rex underscores the vital role of friendship as a "marriage protector" – a truth that extends beyond marital bonds to encompass all spheres of life. He challenges the notion that exotic trips or grand romantic gestures are the key to lasting relationships, asserting instead that cultivating genuine friendship is paramount.As the biblical narrative unfolds, Pastor Rex highlights three defining characteristics of the friendship between David and Jonathan, qualities that serve as a blueprint for nurturing meaningful connections in our own lives. First, he explores the sacrificial spirit that undergirded their bond, exemplified by Jonathan's selfless act of yielding his royal inheritance to David, recognizing God's sovereign choice. This willingness to sacrifice personal ambitions for the sake of a friend is a profound lesson in humility and prioritizing others above oneself.Secondly, Pastor Rex examines the ability of true friends to celebrate each other's victories and mourn losses together. Drawing from Romans 12:15, he emphasizes the challenge of genuinely rejoicing with those who rejoice, even when their successes may stir envy or resentment within us. Yet, a great friend transcends such pettiness, choosing instead to support and uplift their companion wholeheartedly. Finally, the enduring loyalty that Jonathan exhibited towards David, even in the face of life-threatening circumstances, is highlighted as a hallmark of meaningful friendship. Pastor Rex underscores the rarity and preciousness of a friend who will steadfastly stand by your side through adversity, speaking up for you when you cannot defend yourself.Woven throughout the message are poignant real-life stories and anecdotes that bring these timeless principles to life, reminding us of the invaluable role that genuine friends play in our spiritual growth, personal survival, and overall well-being.As Pastor Rex concludes, he points to the ultimate example of friendship found in Jesus Christ – the One who sacrificed Himself to knit His soul to ours, clothe us in righteousness, and ensure that we need never be alone. This powerful message challenges us to embrace the blessings of godly friendships and to embody the selfless, unwavering love that Christ modeled for us.We pray this message from April 28, 2024 will bless you!!Subscribe to our channel: www.youtube.com/gracefellowshipnyTo give online: gracefellowship.com/give/To glorify God by making more and better disciples.

In this sermon titled "Status Check", our Director of Central Operations, Tim Kong, kicks off a new sermon series called "Life-Giving Relationships". He emphasizes the vital role relationships play in our lives, from our earliest days as infants needing our parents or caregivers, to our school years with teachers and classmates, to our workplaces with co-workers, and beyond into potential marriage, parenthood, grandparenthood, and friendships.Drawing from Philippians 2:1-11, Pastor Tim highlights that the foundation for cultivating meaningful, life-giving relationships is Christ-like humility. Just as Jesus humbled Himself and made the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation, we are called to emulate His mindset of selflessness, valuing others above ourselves, prioritizing the interests of others, and embracing a servant's heart.Through personal anecdotes and relatable illustrations, Pastor Tim unpacks practical ways we can demonstrate humility in our various relationships, countering the natural human tendencies toward selfishness, self-interest, and a desire to be served. He reminds us that every person we encounter is created in God's image and deserves to be valued and respected.Ultimately, Tim emphasizes that our relationship with Jesus Christ must be the bedrock upon which all other relationships are built. When we pursue a vibrant, growing relationship with our Savior, His love compels us to lay down our lives for others, just as He did for us.This thought-provoking message challenges us to take a "status check" on our relationships, examining areas where Christ-like humility may be lacking and committing to cultivating life-giving bonds with those around us. As Pastor Tim reminds us, relationships can be messy and challenging, but the payoff of thriving, God-honoring connections is well worth the effort.Whether you're single, married, a parent, a co-worker, or simply desiring healthier relationships in your life, this message offers biblical wisdom and practical encouragement for building a solid foundation of humility, rooted in our relationship with Christ.We pray this message from April 21, 2024 will bless you!!Subscribe to our channel: www.youtube.com/gracefellowshipnyTo give online: gracefellowship.com/give/To glorify God by making more and better disciples.

Are you spiritually parched? If so, this revelatory sermon could be the spiritual kickstart you need. Drawing from Jesus' powerful vineyard teachings in John 15, Pastor Rex guides you on an imagination-sparking journey toward abundant life and Christlike character.Forget surface-level Christianity - the pastor dynamically redefines "fruitfulness" as the full, moment-by-moment expression of Jesus' nature through your thoughts, attitudes and actions. It's an eye-opening new paradigm that could reset your spiritual compass.From this robust foundation, you'll explore the four key scenarios Jesus outlined regarding spiritual growth and productivity:No Fruit FruitMore FruitMuch Fruit Which one most resonates with your walk today? Pastor Rex paints a breathtaking picture of the "much fruit" life exemplified by love, joy, peace and purpose spilling from every area.But how do you escape stagnation and venture into those lush vineyards of abundant fruitfulness? Get ready to be realigned as the pastor unpacks three essential principles:1) How God's uncomfortable DISCIPLINE rouses you from seasons of fruitlessness through striking vineyard illustrations.2) When you're bearing some fruit already, how the Vinedresser's PURPOSEFUL PRUNING ushers fresh intimacy and spiritual impact.3) For the fruitful, how God beckons you into ever DEEPER awakenings of abiding in Christ's presence and power.From convicting personal accounts of God's pruning...to startling revelations about what "fruit" truly involves...to uplifting visions of overflowing spiritual passion - this sermon will shake up your ideas about flourishing as a branch.Whether you've grown disillusioned by fruitless patterns after decades of church...or you're a new believer sensing God's pruning hand in recent trials...this message could mark your pivotal turn back toward flourishing in Christ in powerful new ways.After all, a withered, anemic spiritual life was never your created purpose. Yet vines often lie choked and drained by lesser priorities or lack of deep soul-abiding with the Vinedresser. This sermon is a summons away from spiritual shriveling toward bearing glorious fruit that shines a beacon to Christ's splendor. So if your soul's crying yes to new awakenings, fresh nourishment, and blossoming transformation - or if you simply need re-centered on the True Vine - then don't miss this landmark message. It could catalyze you into unprecedented domains of abundant fruitfulness.We pray this message from April 14, 2024 will bless you!!Subscribe to our channel: www.youtube.com/gracefellowshipnyTo give online: gracefellowship.com/give/To glorify God by making more and better disciples.

Has this ever happened to you? You're having a spiritual conversation and someone hits you with "Well, all religions basically lead to the same God anyway, right?" Or maybe you've wondered that yourself when considering the vast array of world religions and beliefs about God that exist. If so, then you'll want to watch this thought-provoking sermon from Pastor Rex as he tackles one of Jesus' most controversial statements head-on: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).Right off the bat, Pastor Rex shares an explosive encounter he had with an angry student who vehemently objected to the idea that Jesus is the only path to salvation. You'll be captivated as the pastor re-enacts this hostile back-and-forth over the "fairness" of an exclusive truth claim like Jesus'. As he dives into unpacking this verse, you'll quickly realize this is no shallow Sunday speech. Pastor Rex goes to profound depths, answering some of the most vexing questions surrounding Jesus' declaration:• If Jesus is the only way, what about all the people who lived before Christ? How were they saved? (You'll be amazed by the biblical solution)• What about young children and those with mental disabilities who can't comprehend the gospel? Do they have a chance? (Prepare to have your assumptions challenged)• But what about the unreached peoples who have never even heard about Jesus? Is God unfair to those who simply never had the opportunity? (You may be surprised by the answer)With gripping real-life examples and rock-solid scriptural support, Pastor Rex carefully yet decisively dismantles the popular notion that all spiritual paths lead to the same destination. You'll come to understand why sincerely believing something doesn't make it true, no matter how noble it may seem.At the same time, you'll be deeply assured that God's ways really are higher, perfectly just and drenched in unmatched mercy. Even if you've wrestled with doubts, you'll walk away with a fresh confidence that the difficult truths Jesus spoke are trustworthy and good.But more than just clarifying thorny controversies, this sermon lands a powerful challenge: Will you respond to the light you have? Because Jesus left no room for complacency. He is the only legitimate way, truth, and life. All other paths ultimately lead nowhere in relation to knowing the Father.If you've ever sensed a nudging to seek the one true God more fully...if you're unsatisfied with safe, shallow faith...if you're hungry to encounter Jesus in a newer, richer way - then don't miss this sermon. It could very well re-spark or re-orient your spiritual journey onto the one path that leads to abundant life.In a world of countless counterfeits and dead-ends, here is a timely reminder that there is indeed one way that is true, trustworthy, and able to lead any sincere heart into eternal relationship with the Father. Prepare to be realigned, re-centered, and re-awakened to the exclusivity of Jesus Christ.We pray this message from April 7, 2024 will bless you!!Subscribe to our channel: www.youtube.com/gracefellowshipnyTo give online: gracefellowship.com/give/To glorify God by making more and better disciples.

Have you ever wondered if there's life after death? Or questioned whether Jesus really rose from the grave? This powerful Easter sermon tackles those questions head-on with shocking evidence that will reshape how you view life, death, and the authority of Jesus Christ.Pastor Rex dives deep into John 11:25-26 where Jesus boldly declares "I am the resurrection and the life." You'll discover two profound reasons why the resurrection is one of history's most pivotal events:1. To Manifest the Reality of Life After Death. From the beginning of time, humanity has grappled with the ultimate question - "If someone dies, will they live again?" Modern science is even researching far-fetched ideas like head transplants to extend life. But as you'll learn, Jesus' resurrection provides conclusive proof that life continues beyond the grave. The pastor shares a gripping illustration that demonstrates why Jesus' return from death is undeniable evidence we can stake our hope upon.2. To Establish Jesus' Authority Over All.Jesus made the outrageous claim to be God Himself. But His resurrection validated that He is indeed the King of kings and Lord of lords with total authority over heaven and earth. You'll be captivated by the account of "Doubting Thomas" who refused to believe...until he came face-to-face with the risen Christ. It's a reality check on whether you've surrendered your life to Jesus' lordship.This sermon doesn't just analyze a Biblical narrative - it impacts the core of your beliefs about life, death, and who Jesus really is. Whether you're a skeptic or believer, you'll encounter profound truths that could radically reshape your perspective and eternal destiny.Get ready to be gripped by the shocking proof of Jesus' resurrection and its power to offer hope, meaning, and new life available in no other person.

Have you ever felt unknown, uncared for, or just like a number lost in this vast world? If so, this powerful sermon on Jesus as the Good Shepherd from John 10 is for you. Pastor Rex dives deep into the intimate, sacrificial love with which Jesus knows and cares for His sheep. You'll discover three profound truths about the heart of the Good Shepherd toward you:1) Jesus Knows You FullyDespite our hyper-impersonal society, Jesus calls you by name and knows the depths of your soul - every struggle, fear, hope and dream you carry. Prepare to be comforted by the reality that you are never just a number to your Savior.2) Jesus Made the Ultimate Sacrifice for You As the Good Shepherd, Jesus didn't just know His sheep, but willingly laid down His life for them. This sermon unpacks the unfathomable, committed love that led Christ to the cross for you. You'll be moved by the stark contrast between the Good Shepherd and the "hired hand."3) Jesus Wants You to Know Him FullyWhile Jesus intimately knows you, He also deeply desires for you to know Him - to recognize His voice and follow His faithful guidance. You'll learn how to abide in Christ's word and listen in prayer to experience the abundant life only the Good Shepherd can provide.Grounded in powerful Old Testament imagery and Jesus' teachings, this sermon paints a beautiful picture of the Good Shepherd who left the 99 to find you. If you've felt lost or alone, be reminded that you are fully known and cherished by the One who tenderly calls you into intimate relationship with Himself. Come and experience the safety, security and purpose found in the loving arms of the Good Shepherd.We pray this message from March 24, 2024 will bless you!!Subscribe to our channel: www.youtube.com/gracefellowshipnyTo give online: gracefellowship.com/give/To glorify God by making more and better disciples.

Join us for the next installment in our "I Am" series with the powerful message, "I Am the Light of the World." Grounded in John 8:12, John 9:5, and 1 John 1:5-7, this sermon explores the profound implications of Jesus being the Light.The central idea is clear: when we walk in the light as He is in the light, we experience fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus purifies us from all unrighteousness. The exploration begins by shedding light on the stark contrast between light and darkness in spiritual understanding.Consider the image painted by Proverbs 4:18-19, revealing the path of the righteous as a dawn that shines ever brighter until the full light of day, while the way of the wicked is shrouded in deep darkness. This imagery sets the stage for understanding the transformative power of Jesus as the Light.In 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, we're reminded that the god of this world can blind minds to the light of the gospel, underscoring the spiritual discernment required to comprehend the profound truths offered by Christ.The exploration then delves into the foundational question: What does it mean that Jesus is the Light? Drawing insights from Isaiah 60:19-20 and Revelation 21:23-25, we grasp the profound impact of Jesus as our everlasting light, bringing an end to days of sorrow and eliminating the need for external sources of light.Moving forward, the sermon examines what it looks like to live in the light, emphasizing vital fellowship with God and refreshing fellowship with one another. The message unpacks the truth that walking in the light involves confessing sins and experiencing the purifying work of Jesus, resulting in fellowship with one another and, most importantly, with God.Finally, we are challenged to let our light shine, as Matthew 5:16 encourages us to showcase our good deeds for the glory of our heavenly Father. This practical application emphasizes the transformative power of living in the light of Christ, radiating His love, grace, and truth in a world hungry for genuine goodness.Don't miss this enlightening message that explores the transformative power of living in the light of Christ.
