THIS WEEK'S SERMON

I am Empowered

April 21, 2024

Burdens, responsibilities, relationships, work - we are all carrying a lot. And so often these burdens can make us feel overwhelmed with life. But we weren't meant to carry these things alone, in our own strength.

In Jesus, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit. A power to make a way through life, an energy to sustain you, strength to be victorious, and the might to defeat sin and shame. We can have freedom and power to walk in the hope of Jesus. Join us through the end of Ephesians 1 as we learn to tap into the Spirit and form identity by His power.

We magnify and we glorify Him above all else. We exalt You, we extol You, we adore You. Such a remarkable reminder of who He is and who He says He is to us! This new song blew us out of the water.

  • Every human being has, at one point, gazed into the stars and wondered about the meaning of it all. The Bible is God’s compelling, compassionate answer. The human soul gasps for truth. God exhaled Scripture to fill our longing for answers. What a precious jewel Scripture is! It makes visible the invisible God. It pulls back the veil between Heaven and Earth. It divides soul and spirit. We aren’t left to speculation because Scripture is revelation. We aren’t abandoned to conjecture because we’ve received the Holy Scriptures. Therefore we as a church are shaped, formed, led, and surrendered to the Word. The Word is how we know the Gospel. The Word is what guides the Church and transforms its people. The Word is what reveals to us the goodness and glory of Jesus. So every time we gather, we open the Word. Each time we make a decision, it’s in submission to the Word. All that we are is founded upon the flawless, beautiful, and life-giving Word of Jesus.
  • We asked a few team members to tell us what team they serve on without actually telling us. These were the results.😂 We have so many places to plug into at Rise! Whether you like kids, being more behind the scenes or if you like to use your unique gifts in music or art! There are so many places for you to serve. Serving is just one of the ways to get connected into community! If you are interested in learning more about a team, comment “SERVE” and we will send you the link to connect with our leaders!
  • New series starts TOMORROW! 🤩 And it’s all on identity! And who we are in Christ! We are all created uniquely.

You won’t want to miss it! 💪 Join us at 9, 10:30 and 4pm! Share this and invite your people! We want to see them there. 😍
  • In a world filled with noise, opinions, and expectations, how do we find our true selves? This Sunday, we will begin an epic journey of self-discovery and revelation in our newest sermon series: Identity. Over the next four weeks, we’ll explore the stark contrast between the world’s perception of us and our true identity in Christ. We’ll witness the masterpiece of our lives as God’s workmanship, and behold the transformative beauty of Jesus. Join us this Sunday at 9, 10:45 and 4pm as we dive deep into who our identity is in Christ!
