Idaho Grace Sermon Podcast

We live in a culture obsessed with beauty. Yet, no matter how much beauty we surround ourselves with, the human heart remains restless because worldly beauty is only temporary and was never meant to satisfy the deepest longing of the soul. Turn to John 1 as Lester Villatoro shares how true beauty is revealed in Jesus and why the invitation is not simply to learn about or admire Him, but to behold Him.

Being a child of God is not just an emotional or religious title; it is a profound spiritual reality that transforms the believer's identity, purpose, and way of life. However, this incredible privilege also comes with responsibilities. Join Pastor Edgar Nunez as he breaks this down and launches a new sermon series titled If I Had One Message.

Walking by the Spirit and abiding in Christ aren’t identical phrases, but they describe the same Spirit-empowered life from two complementary angles. Turn to John 15 with Keith Waggoner as he concludes the Summer Series and breaks down how these concepts relate and bring about the growth God desires in every believer.

The Spirit’s conviction is not evidence that God has rejected you. It is evidence that God is still working in you. The Spirit does not convict you to crush you. He convicts you to restore you, to grow you, to lead you into the blessed life that Jesus promised. Rejoin Pr. Keith in Galatians 5 and Ephesians 5, as he addresses the pressing questions introduced last week.

What is influencing your desires, your decisions, your words, your reactions, your relationships, and your obedience? Paul says, “Walk by the Spirit.” He says, “Be filled with the Spirit.” Let the Spirit of God become the One who shapes what comes out of you before it ever comes out of you. Whatever fills you will eventually form you. Follow along as Keith Waggoner looks at what it means to be filled with the Spirit and how that changes the way our lives look.

Before Jesus went to the cross, He promised His disciples they would not be left alone. The Holy Spirit would come to dwell with them and in them. Our hope for change is not found in trying harder, pretending better, or becoming more disciplined by sheer willpower. Join Matt Ritchey in discovering the hope that lives with us and in us!

The flesh may still pull, but it no longer has to lead. You belong to Jesus.  His Spirit lives within you. He will lead you into a life you could never produce on your own. Join Keith Waggoner in Galatians 5, looking at the internal battle between the flesh and the Spirit.

Christ has set us free.  We do not have to stay trapped in guilt, shame, performance, legalism, selfishness, or the flesh.  But knowing we are free is not the same as living free. 

Rest in the King who can cleanse you, keep you, complete you, and bring you home with joy!  Trust Him.  Fight sin with hope.  Contend for the faith with confidence.  And worship the King who is able. 

You are called to become the real thing.  Not knock-off Christianity or something that only looks real for a while. No, you and I have been called to a faith that lasts. Follow along in Jude 1 as Keith Waggoner addresses this passage’s call on Christians and the steps to becoming a built-to-last believer.
