Woodbury Church of Christ Sermons

Home | Part One - Redefining Home

Jesus redefined family. He called everyone who was working toward Him his brothers and sisters. The church isn't just singing or teaching or reading Scripture, it's our home. Our faith is personal, but without the faith community, we are left wanting.

Imago Dei | Part Three - Jesus & Justice

The conversation around race centers around justice. We tend to assume justice equals fairness. But real, Biblical justice includes an element that we typically overlook. Without it, there will never be true justice.

Imago Dei | Part Two - Belief & Belonging

Humans naturally tend toward exclusion and division. We have to fight for inclusion and to keep expanding the circle of who belongs, especially in the church.  

Imago Dei | Pt. 1 - Idea & Image

(Watch Online) What if we believed that WE were the Image of God? What would happen if we actually treated OTHERS as if they were the Image of God?

The Holy Spirit | SPIRITual

(Watch Online) What is the ONE thing we need to take away from the study of the Holy Spirit? 

The Holy Spirit | Spirit & Spirits

The claim of Scripture is that the Spirit is trying to create human well being and wholeness. But the Bible also talks about another influence that works to undo what The Holy Spirit is trying to accomplish.

The Holy Spirit | Spirit-fueled Philosophy of Life

(Watch Online) The Holy Spirit impacts not only what we think but HOW we think! Join us as Paul the Apostle walks us through a philosophy of the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit | The Priorities of Jesus

​Jesus is our best example of being filled with the Spirit. We need the Spirit's filling. We receive it by prioritizing the same things as Jesus.

The Holy Spirit | Life in the Spirit

​We have all had different experiences of the Spirit. Sometimes everything seems clear other times this Spirit seems confusing or even silent. How do we make sense of all that?

The Holy Spirit | Spirit & Prayer (Romans 8:26)

If you’ve ever felt like prayer was difficult, confusing and maybe even pointless, you’re not alone. Prayer is the way we can live our fullest, God-given potential and it IS possible for you to “get” prayer...and it is ALL about the Spirit!

Easter Sunday - God Deeply Loves You!

(Watch Online) It's true and Easter Sunday reminds us...God deeply loves you. How do we know? Jesus died and then he wasn't dead. And because of that reality, we'll be with God forever, which is exactly what He wants, because He deeply loves us.

The Holy Spirit | Death & Sin (Rom 8)

(Watch Online) Scripture consistently makes a strange claim - somehow sin introduces destruction, decay and death in our lives. But Scripture also provides the solution...by the Spirit we can put sin to death and live!

The Holy Spirit | Listen and Live! (Rom 8)

(Watch Online) Most of us don't expect to hear from God...so we don't. What if we were open to the life God is trying to produce in us comes when we listen to the voice of God?

The Holy Spirit | Creating Space (Gal 5)

(Watch Online) Too often we get stuck thinking about the Holy Spirit as an idea or a theology. Instead, the Holy Spirit is a person of God and a relationship we need to pursue. How do we do that? By creating space for the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit | Pays NotTo Be Old School (2 Cor. 3)

(Watch Online) Do we realize the New Covenant was NOT a written code? It is a changed heart by the power of the Spirit. What characteristics is a church known for if it is living a life filled with the Spirit?

The Holy Spirit | Filled (Eph. 5)

If you have desired to experience more of the Spirit you've likely asked the question, "How?" How do we hear the Spirit more clearly? How do we experience the Spirit more powerful? The answer might be a little surprising.

The Holy Spirit | Power (Eph. 3)

It's easy to think of the Holy Spirit as incredibly important but we're less clear what his job description actually us. What if the power you're looking for is exactly what the Spirit was given to us to do? 

The Holy Spirit | Open Our Eyes (Eph. 1)

When you read the stories of the Spirit in the New Testament, they're amazing and inspirational. We're told that the Spirit "talked" or "led" people to do and say specific things. Is that still something we can expect? Is that still something we should look for? 

The Holy Spirit | The Gifts (Part Two - Rom 12)

We all have experienced strange moments in our lives that we didn't know how to categorize. Was it the supernatural, was it coincidence? How we interpret these types of events often speaks to the ways we think the Spirit can or can't work today. What should we expect from the Spirit when it comes to the the miraculous gifts of the Spirit? 

The Holy Spirit | The Gifts (Part One)

(Watch Online) What's going on? Some Christians believe the Spirit does supernatural, miraculous things through believers just like we see in the book of Acts. Other Christians feel like those were special gifts for a special time and have since faded away. What should we be seeking for the Spirit to do in and through us?
