In Christ, we are not simply improved—we are made new.

In this message from **2 Corinthians 5:14–17** and **Revelation 21:5**, we consider what it means to live the Spirit-empowered life as a new creation. Because Jesus died and was raised, those who belong to Him have been given new life by the Spirit. The old has passed away, and the new has begun.

But this new life does not always appear all at once. The Spirit continues His work in us, shaping our desires, renewing our minds, and teaching us to live by repentance and faith.

**Big Question:** Jesus has given us a new life by the Spirit. Will you live in accord with that new life?

**The Spirit Makes All Things New**
*The Spirit Empowered Life*

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:14–17; Revelation 21:5

What does it really mean that the Holy Spirit lives in you?

Before Jesus went to the cross, He gave His disciples an incredible promise: He would not leave them as orphans. He would send another Helper—the Spirit of truth—to be with them forever and to dwell within them.

And that same Spirit is in every believer.

In the first message of our new series, The Spirit Empowered Life, we begin with this incredible truth: The Spirit of Christ is in you.

We’ll look at the Holy Spirit as:
• The Spirit of Help
• The Spirit of the Resurrection
• The Spirit who empowered prophets, priests, and kings—the very Spirit Christ had

The Christian life was never meant to be lived in our own strength. God has given His people His Spirit.

🎥 Watch “The Spirit of Christ Is in You” and join us as we begin this new series through the Spirit-empowered life.

The Holy Spirit is not a distant idea or simply something we read about in the book of Acts. He is alive and at work in the Church and in the lives of God’s people today.

Who is the Holy Spirit? What does He do? And why does His work matter in the everyday life of a Christian?

In this message from Acts 2, we look at the Spirit as the Revealer—the One who brings order and beauty, transforms His people, and works ultimately for the glory of God and the good of His people.

Get to know Him, that you might live in His power.

Can someone go so far into sin that they are beyond the reach of God’s grace?

King Manasseh’s life gives us a remarkable answer.

Manasseh led Judah into terrible sin and rebellion against God. He ignored the Lord’s warnings until God brought severe discipline into his life. Yet when Manasseh finally humbled himself and cried out to the Lord, God heard his prayer, forgave him, and restored him.

His story is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace.

In this sermon from 2 Chronicles 33:1–17, we’ll see what Manasseh’s life teaches us about repentance, discipline, forgiveness, and the transforming grace of God.
How should we respond to such extraordinary grace?
• Respect your spiritual heritage
• Listen to rebuke
• Accept discipline
• Honor God’s grace through your character

Whether you’ve walked with Christ for years or wonder if you’ve simply gone too far, Manasseh’s story points us to this hope: the grace of God is greater than our sin.

What are you really trusting in?

King Hezekiah was a faithful reformer who tore down idols, stood against powerful enemies, and trusted in the Lord. Yet his story also gives us a sobering warning: even good things—religious practice, worldly strength, and God’s blessings—can become places we put our trust instead of God Himself.
In this sermon from 2 Kings 18–20, we look at the life of Hezekiah and the greater hope behind his story: God is working an eternal redemption for His people.

- Don’t trust in religious practice—trust in the Lord.
- Don’t trust in worldly powers—trust in the Lord.
- Don’t trust in blessing—trust in the Lord.

When everything else proves temporary, our confidence remains in the Lord and His unfailing purposes.

Who are you trusting?**

It's easy to place our hope in politicians, pastors, leaders, or even ourselves. But Scripture reminds us that every human ruler is flawed and temporary.

The story of **King Joash** in **2 Chronicles 24** is a sobering reminder that our confidence must never rest in princes, personalities, or earthly power. There is only one King who is perfectly faithful, perfectly righteous, and worthy of our complete trust—Jesus Christ.

Join us as we open God's Word and consider what it means to live with our hope anchored in Christ alone.

Watch now and be encouraged by the unchanging faithfulness of our sovereign King.

In this sermon from the series Put Not Your Trust in Princes, we examine the life and reign of “King” Athaliah—a woman driven by idolatry, entitlement, and self-preservation. Her story warns us of the temptation to center the world around ourselves, feel entitled to what we desire, and act hypocritically.

Yet Scripture directs our eyes beyond corrupt earthly rulers to the true King. Because the Lord has graciously given us redemption in Christ, we are called to serve Him rather than ourselves.

Why do good men sometimes make foolish decisions?

King Jehoshaphat loved the Lord and desired to do what was right, yet he allowed kinship, personality, and pride to cloud his judgment. His story reminds us that even faithful people can be led astray when they fail to fully heed God’s Word.

Listen to “King Jehoshaphat: Good Men Do Foolish Things,” from our sermon series Put Not Your Trust in Princes, and consider where you may need the Lord to give you greater wisdom and discernment.

What do you believe about God when life feels uncertain, your plans fail, or success tempts you to rely on yourself?

King Asa’s life reminds us that even a heart committed to the Lord can drift toward self-reliance. Yet Scripture gives us this powerful promise: “The eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.”

In this sermon, we explore what we believe about God in everyday life, success, failure, and discipline—and why we can trust that the Lord is seeking us out to help us, no matter our circumstances.
Watch “King Asa: A Heart Fully Committed to the Lord,” from our sermon series, “Put Not Your Trust in Princes.”
