Living Hope Fellowship Sermon Archive

In the opening Sermon of our series through the book of Ephesians, Pastor Chris Rieber looks at the fact that all the good we have in salvation is provided through Christ and secured in Christ.

In this message, Pastor Chris Rieber begins a series walking through the Book of Ephesians. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week which carried Christ from the praise of the Triumphal Entry to the humiliation of the Cross and the glory of His resurrection. This message focuses on the importance and urgency of Christ's redemptive work on the cross. Without an occupied cross, there could be no empty tomb.

In this message, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at Jesus' miraculous healing of the Blind Man at the Pool of Siloam. This man was healed by his faith to obey Christ's commands, and his view of Christ clarified from thinking Jesus was just a man to being the Son of God worthy of His worship. The Pharisees, however, chose to remain blind even though all the evidence of Christ was right in front of them.

In this message from the Changed Series, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at the scene from John 8 where the Pharisees used a woman who was busted while cheating on her husband in order to trip Jesus up. Christ's compassionate defense of this woman is a stark contrast to the Pharisees judgmental and merciless treatment of her. In this scene, we see just how Christ chooses to deal with our sin, and how it should challenge us all to be a little less critical of others.

When Jesus touches a life, He changes is completely and forever. When Jesus healed the lame man at the pool of Bethesda, it was an announcement to the world that Jesus is the only true hope for the healing of sin and our powerlessness over it.

In the final message in this series, Pastor Chris Reiber looks at the importance of giving the Holy Spirit first place in your life in order to move on to spiritual maturity.
