SERMONS
At Veritas we are committed to preaching and teaching each week from the Bible about Jesus. Each week we post our sermons online for those of us who are unable to attend our weekly gatherings.
In order to see the kingdom of God, you must be born again, which Jesus says is a work not of our own doing but of the Spirit. Like Nicodemus, many of us are perplexed by the words of Jesus. The grace of God is displayed in that he doesn’t demand us to will ourselves into being ‘born again’. He sees us, meets us in our helplessness, and offers himself as the unfailing object of our faith.

Seeing who Jesus is frees us up to be who we are. Jesus has sent the Holy Spirit to live in us to renew and baptize us daily. He helps us to taste and see that Jesus and His Gospel are good.

Even though we are grieved we cannot worship together in the same space, we are excited for you to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with your families!
This Easter Sunday, we continue in the Gospel of John to see that Jesus is an inexhaustible fountain of grace and truth, and he has come to give himself to us.

In John 1:6-13, we see that John's mission was to put on display the glory and majesty of Jesus so that all might believe in his name. His life was to be a faithful witness and give testimony of our Lord and Savior.

This week we are starting our series in the Gospel of John. In this study, we will be looking at the incarnate life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus verse by verse. He wrote this Gospel so that those who didn't know Jesus would see him and come to know him through the book and find life and salvation in his name. John 1:1-5 shows us that because Jesus is God, he has the power to give us new life in his name. Jesus is fully and truly God.

For the last week of gospel centered community we are putting what we have learned into practice by necessity. Due to recommendations by our governor we cannot meet in groups more than 100 so we are gathering in small groups to worship together through word and song. This week Ryan teaches that in order to carry out the mission of Jesus we must be a friend of sinners.

Real community happens when we walk in God’s light by confessing and repenting of sin to one another. Walking in the light is the way to gospel community and to gospel freedom.

We should humble ourselves for each other and look to the interest of others, because God has humbled himself for us. We humble ourselves by looking to the humility of Jesus and looking to the exaltation of Jesus.

The more we live into the reality of Christ's blessing, the more we will embrace a community that is marked with joy in Jesus. Romans 5 shows us that God has reconciled himself so that we can find our highest joys and deeper pleasures by knowing him.

We are called to love one another in deed and truth. We will never accomplish this how God intends, unless we understand how faith and the work of Christ provides the foundation and motivation for us to love others. Through Jesus, we have received acceptance, forgiveness, adoption and love from God that nothing can separate us from. When we receive God's grace, this is when we are able to love others as God loves us.

The gospel creates community by transforming us to begin treating others in the way that Jesus has treated us. Because of what Jesus has done, we have been given a new identity. Our life has now been hidden in Christ, so that whatever is true of him is now true of us. His life is counted as our life and his death is counted as our death. All that is his has become ours. We need to put to death what remains of our old life. In Colossians 3:12-17, Paul tells us to put on Jesus and his character and to put on Jesus and his gospel.

Community that is produced by the gospel is devoted to God’s word, life together, the Lord’s Supper and prayer. This gospel centered community shapes us deeper in the gospel, develops radical generosity and will display Jesus together.

We have been created for community, but we have also been re-created for community. Jesus died on a cross to bring us together to make a family. He restores and reconciles us not only to God, but also to each other. This is why community centered on the Gospel matters.

This week, speaker Ryan Ross introduces our 10 week series based off of “The Gospel Centered Community”. 1 John 4:7-12 tells us of God’s love and makes 3 distinct points. We should love one another because God is love. We are free to love others because he loved us first. Finally, loving one another shows off God’s redeeming love to the world.

It has become tradition to end the year as one big family. 2019 was no different. We came together, kids and adults, to be reminded of the fact that we’re called to serve others as followers of Jesus, but before we do, we remember all that Jesus has done for us. Out of that overflow of love, we love and serve others. Jesus gave us a reminder of that love when he instituted communion. Sometimes, we simply need to be reminded when we forget.
