This week Pastor Howard concludes our series "To My Friend Who Left the Faith..." he focuses on grief and suffering. We cannot truly appreciate the resurrection of Jesus if we don’t spend some time at the looking at the cross and watching Mary witness the cruel death of her son. “Sometimes, it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.” But then, in t…

Thomas followed Jesus faithfully. He was there for Jesus’ teachings, and he witnessed amazing miracles. But I want you to see it is absolutely possible to faithfully walk with Jesus for years and still walk through a season of doubt. Pastor Austin brings us this message on doubt and questions.Di Rosewood Church

Lindsey Burkey preaches a sermon entitled To My Friend Who Left the Faith: Because of Moralism. We can sometimes think of our Christian faith as a system: a series of inputs and outcomes. The more good you put in, the more God that comes out. We bring our kids to church, pray before dinner, and avoid using any four-letter words in their presence. W…

Pastor Austin starts a new series called "To My Friend Who Left The Faith." So all that said, to my friend who left the faith because of other believers, I believe you left your church for good reasons, but what if you left faith unnecessarily? What if you’re right about all your critiques but wrong about what you did with them? If you could redisc…

Pastor Austin continues his series in James this week. You can receive from God, enjoy what God has given you, and still love the God who gives more than what he gives. But the only way for this to be possible is through the discipline of generosity.

Pastor Austin continues his sermon series on James. God loves people, so you can’t hate that which God loves and claim to be okay with God. Everyone is someone Jesus died for. Your love for God is affirmed and authenticated by your love for others, and the greatest test of our corporate sincerity of this truth is through the test of conflict. Confl…

So given how important and common words are to us, it’s shouldn’t be surprising that God’s word has something to say about your words. And James has already touched on this back in chapter 1 when he said we should be quick to listen and slow to speak, but now in chapter three he devotes a good deal of time addressing God’s design for our words. Wor…

Maybe you’ve been convinced that you could pull yourself up to God by your own human effort. The bad news for you is that you can’t. You can’t ever reach high enough to get to God on your own. But the good news for you is that right here, right now, the Lord is reaching out to you. The good news for you is that Jesus’ work on the cross is the only …

Pastor Austin continues his sermon series on James. He brings us his message from chapter 3 verses 13-18. Spiritual knowledge without the love of Christ is dangerous. Spiritual knowledge without the love of Christ is how we have ended up with Christian endorsements of things counter to the kingdom.

A moralistic faith is wisdom detached from Jesus – advice without sovereignty. Works without faith. I do believe the Bible has a great deal of good advice that would make your life better whether you’re a believer or not, but if you miss Jesus you miss the whole point of the Bible

This week Pastor Austin starts a new series on the book of James. James says trials will come. And other Biblical authors like Paul and Peter echo James’ claim, and Jesus says it all before they do. Trials will come. Sorry for the delay, there were technical problems this week.Di Rosewood Church

Don’t fall into one of the many lesser versions of life with God, many of which we named today. Live a fully surrendered life. And what is a fully surrendered life? Not a Sunday Christian. Not a convenience driven Christian. But fully given over to the redemptive plan of God in you and in the world.Di Rosewood Church

Christmas brings a thrill of hope that the help you’re seeking has been born. Your hope has been born. But that hope remains outside of you until you surrender to the will and presence of Christ.

It’s a season spent with the people we love, but what if this year it was about the people who were hardest to love?

Jonah could not escape his own prejudice toward the Ninevites. Or one other way – as one of the core truths of Scripture reminds us that we too are prone to wander, prone to leave the God we love. We are the runaways. Pastor Howard continues our Runaway series on Jonah with Jonah chapter 2.Di Rosewood Church

We carry a light burden because we are free from the weight of performance religion and through Christ are given the gospel of grace that we are saved by the work of Jesus rather than our own. Pastor Austin continues his sermon series "Weird".

When the Bible speaks of an honoring love towards God, it is not about passionless worship or just some vague preference for God over other love alternatives. It is an encounter with a living God who so faithfully loves that that he was willing to die in your place so you could have a place with him. Love and fear are not opposites. Fear of God is,…
