2020 has been an overwhelming year. A year of uncertainty, struggle and pain. A pandemic, masks, hand sanitizer, and many lives lost. Millions of jobs lost, businesses have shut down and even churches forced to close their doors. We’ve witnessed division and violence. And we’ve felt the sting of racism…the deep heartache of hate. All of these things and more have left us feeling overwhelmed. Yeshua (Jesus) makes a promise in John 16:32-33 that in the midst of an overwhelming world He can give us PEACE. This series will focus on how we can receive the promise of PEACE when we are OVERWHELMED.

What matters to you? What is or who is most important to you? Jesus when asked this question repeatedly answers that the most important thing, the thing that matters most is Love.

Normal vision is measured as 20/20 vision. This means the person with 20/20 vision is able to see with clarity objects around them. In the event a person’s vision drops below 20/20 vision, there are a number of corrective actions that can be taken to bring the person’s vision back to 20/20 vision.

Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 that God has a vision for us that is greater than anything we can humanly see, hear, or conceive, and the only way we can see this vision is by having 20/20 Spiritual Vision. 2020 will be the year when Uplift focuses on correcting our Spiritual Vision to 20/20 so we can see the Grace of God in everything.

Every start of the new year we set resolutions that are intended to help us manage the sins and weakness that reign over us. However, this is not what God intended for us when He gave us Salvation through His Grace. Paul explains in Romans 5, that God’s Grace “Reigns” over our sins, weaknesses, circumstances, even the law.

Through God’s Grace you have the ability to “reign” over everything life throws at you. This series will help us understand God’s Grace and instead of setting New Year’s resolutions, allow God’s Grace to Reign, and resolve all our sins, weaknesses, and circumstances.

In I Thessalonians 5: 16-18, Paul gives the church a benedictory command.

This series will focus on strengthening believers as we continue our spiritual journey in a world that is at times unforgiving, uncertain and ungrateful!

In John 15:11, Jesus promises us as believers that we can experience a life that is full of joy regardless of our circumstances. Not only is joy a promise of Jesus, but once we accepted Christ into our hearts, joy became a fruit of our spirit. Paul even goes as far as commanding us to be joyful always in multiple books of the new testament. If all this is true, and it is, why do we go through periods of time when our joy feels empty. This series will focus on the principles we need to follow to keep our Joy FULL!

In Genesis 1:28 God gives man his first commandment, be fruitful. Every since the day God gave man this commandment the enemy has been busy trying to stop man from bearing Godly fruit. Jesus says in John 15:5, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” Are you bearing much fruit? This series will focus on defining what it means to be fruitful, and how we can get to the place where we bear much fruit.

Christmas is the season we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Isaiah says in chapter 9, For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace, there will be no end. Jesus even says in John 14:27, “ I am leaving you with a gift–peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” If this is true, why do we as believers go through periods where our peace is missing? This series will focus on understanding the biblical meaning of peace, and learning how to overcome things in our lives that take the gift of Peace away from us.

We have altar calls, and we are told to bring our offerings, prayers, and even burdens to the altar. But what is the altar, and what does its many mentions in scripture tell us today? This sermon series will focus on the stories that altered the lives of key people in the Bible, and what led them to build altars.

Christmas has become a season of doing. It is a time when we focus on spending, decorating, and doing Christmas. The purpose of Christmas was never for us to just Do Christmas, but to Be Christmas. In light of what God has done by sending His Son, our response is to Be Christmas by worshiping fully, spending less, giving more, and loving all. This series will focus on moving from just doing Christmas, to being Christmas.

Everyday we are faced with hundreds of decisions–what to buy, where to go, who to vote for. All of these decisions promise a better life, increased happiness and added security, but in reality, the only decision that can meet our needs, is the decision to follow Jesus Christ.

Sometimes in our battles we try to fight the enemy on his terms and in his territory. Eventually we get beat down or defeated. God never intended for us to fight this way.

God created each of us for worship. That is why we become FANatical about sport teams, jobs, hobbies, and even other people. God does not mind if we enjoy other things, as long as we don’t put those things above Him.

True change of your life begins with true worship of Jesus Christ.
