In the Face of Jesus: There is Peace

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/06/29

We don’t actually know the nature of the sinful life the woman led, but it was something public. History assumes she was a prostitute. Nobody sets out to become a prostitute. How troubled she must have been inside, how much unsettled turmoil, regret and shame. We long to see peace in the world outside, but even more we long for peace within. Can you imagine Jesus’ face as he looked on her and declared, “Your sins are forgiven! Your faith has saved you! Go in peace”? In the face of Jesus there...

In the Face of Jesus: There is Joy

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/06/22

All of the hopes and longings of the people of God for a Messiah were coming true right before their eyes. All of our hopes and longings come home to Him too. Can you imagine a wry smile on Jesus’ face as he told John’s disciples what to report? Here it all is. The Kingdom of God is breaking out. Jesus enjoyed being Jesus. This is a moment when they could see that in the face of Jesus there is joy. Speaker: Greg Hartnett

In the Face of Jesus: There is Love

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/06/15

Jesus demonstrates his love when he looks face to face with the widow at Nain and says, “Don’t cry.” Her eyes would have been swollen and muddled with tears as she walked along behind her son’s funeral bier. Jesus sees us when we are hurting. Can you imagine the eyes of Jesus looking into yours? It says Jesus’ heart went out to her. This is just one moment when we could see that in the face of Jesus there is love. Speaker: Tim McConnell

In a Spirit of Prayer: In the Battle

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/06/08

You are in the battle. We win the battle on our knees! Pentecost celebrates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the church. That outpouring is here today to arm you in spiritual places to see victory against dark spiritual powers. Put on the full armor of God and be strong in the Lord. Pray for spiritual victories.

In a Spirit of Prayer: Marinated in Holiness

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/06/01

Prayer is sanctifying. Time spent in the presence of the Holy Spirit reveals our frailties and faults. We pray that the power of the Holy Spirit would be at work in us, lending our hearts toward holiness and away from what is profane. Prayer is also meditation on the Word. We allow the Word of God to shape our understanding of right and wrong, sacred and profane. Pray that the Holy Spirit would so infuse your life that His light dispels all darkness in you. Pray for holiness. Speaker: Tim McC...

In a Spirit of Prayer: One in the Spirit

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/05/25

Prayer is an expression of an extraordinarily personal relationship with God in Jesus Christ. As we are made one with God in the Spirit of prayer, we are also made one with each other. Not in a Buddhist or New Age sense of dissolving our individual souls into the “One Soul,” but in genuine and true relationship, knit together supernaturally. The world sees this unity and it is beyond comprehension. Pray for unity, both with God and with one another. Speaker: Tim McConnell

In a Spirit of Prayer: He is Able

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/05/18

Our God is able to more than you could ever ask or imagine. Do you believe that? Do you pray as if that were true? It is actually jarring to know that we have an audience with the same God who spun the universe into being. The power of God is unfathomable. Paul prays that the Ephesians would be strengthened by God’s power simply to attain to this knowledge of who God is and the power God has, and the extraordinary love God has for them. Have you experienced the love that surpasses knowledge. ...

In a Spirit of Prayer: Caught up in Grace

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/05/11

By grace you have been saved. In a Spirit of Prayer the Holy Spirit captures our hearts and raises us up spiritually into the presence of God. We are captured by awe. We are struck with wonder. We are caught up in grace. It can only happen because of what Jesus did for us. Prayer is not an activity, like taking a run or brushing your teeth. Prayer is an encounter with the Living God who loves you and is delighted to be with you! Open your heart to be caught up by the grace of Jesus. Pray for ...

In a Spirit of Prayer: That Great Power

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/05/04

Although we know that we have access to a limitless power in prayer, we do not pray as much as we should. Maybe we are ashamed that we don’t know how, don’t have confidence, or are worried that we might make a fool of ourselves. Maybe we are confident that we have all the help we need; we can handle it on our own. For all his wisdom, experience and capacity, Paul demonstrates openly that he lives a life of constant prayer. In fact, he could not make it without prayer. Prayer is not an add-on ...

Turn Again: Totally Transformed

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/04/27

There may be no more famous conversion than Paul’s. He gets it all! Humbled, directed, washed, eyes opened, life changed, corrected and turned, no wonder Paul said “whoever is in Christ is a new creation” (2 Cor 5:17). If we have experienced conversion, a second turning, a repentance that leads to faith, a rebirth and spiritual regeneration, then we are totally transformed. Death looks different now. Rather than a bitter end to punctuate a lost and disobedient life, it is now but a transfer t...

Turn Again: The Second Turning

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/04/20

Mary turned to see the man she thought was the gardener, but when Jesus pronounced her name, she “turned again” and saw that it was Him! What is this second turning? What happens in her heart and mind to open her eyes to Jesus right there before her face? We often think of Christianity as an offer to take up a set of beliefs, a philosophy of life, or a pattern of habits that lead to healthy living. Those things are secondary. What is on offer is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. When...

Turn Again: Life Changed

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/04/13

Zacchaeus wanted to see the parade, like on Palm Sunday. He wanted to see Jesus. What happened was much more than an entertaining experience. By meeting and receiving Jesus Christ, Zacchaeus’ entire life was transformed. “So, you are talking about lifestyle change; an alteration of one’s moral center and system of ethics.” Yes, but much more. This is an internal change that produces external effects. Conversion transforms your entire life. Speaker: Tim McConnell

Turn Again: Eyes Opened

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/04/06

I once was blind, but now I see. Conversion opens the eyes. You see the entire world differently. When you know the Creator, you see the beauty of the creation with new eyes. The sky is bluer, the grass is greener, the air is sweeter. But seeing is also a metaphor for how we understand everything in our lives. C. S. Lewis said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” From darkness to light, when you c...

Turn Again: Forgiven

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/03/30

The Samaritan Woman at the well is one of the most powerful stories of conversion in the Bible. Jesus demonstrates that He knows her entire past and love her fully. We fear that when we are fully known, we will not be fully loved. “If only you knew…” Jesus knows, and He knows what it will cost, but He offers forgiveness, redemption and new life. The conversion of the woman at the well is a progressive conversion. She grows in understanding as she calls Jesus “a Jew,” “a prophet,” then finally...

Turn Again: Washed

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/03/23

The story of Naaman the Leper is a story of conversion. When you come to Christ, you feel that your old life has been washed away (in baptism) and you have been made entirely new. It is not unlike the picture of Naaman dipping in the water seven times and coming up fresh and new. (cf. Isaiah 1:16; Acts 8:26-38 and the Ethiopian Eunuch.) There is a true change to a life made new in Christ. We, like Naaman, think we must need to do some large and significant ceremony, pass through some magnific...

Turn Again: Directed

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/03/16

Moses recognized the presence of the Lord and hid his face in repentance (verse 6). This is a true acknowledgement of his own sin. But God draws Moses near, promises to walk with him through all his life, and then God directed Moses to move out in His purposes by faith. Conversion leads to new life. A self-interested life is directionless, and often runs out of steam. God gives us a new purpose and a new meaning to life when we experience conversion. Jesus called His disciples saying, “Follow...

Turn Again: Turned

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/03/09

“Turn me and I will be turned” is the old KJV of verse 18. What is conversion? It is a total change in life comprised of repentance and faith. It cannot be an external change of habits or intentions. It is an internal rebirth. Jeremiah knew what would really make a change was when the law was written inside the human heart. The old heart of stone is removed and a new heart of flesh is installed (cf Ezekiel 36:26). To experience conversion is to take God into your heart where He turns your ent...

God's Mission Has A Church: Never Give Up

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/03/02

So, then, never, never, never give up. When our current scenario goes shaky, when wars and rumors of wars rise up, when it looks like the church will die with us and turn to dust in our hands, remember, we are receiving a Kingdom that is already guaranteed, has been inaugurated by Christ, and by the power of God will not fail to come into its full manifestation. The Kingdom of God is coming. Do not give up faith, but worship, regularly, fully, passionately, corporately and individually—worshi...

God's Mission Has A Church: God Sends a People

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/02/23

Just as God revealed His mission to Abraham as a mission for a people, that God was planning to bless all nations through the chosen nation, now we see that the mission of God plays out through the deployment of a church. The ekklesia is the body called and sent by God to be the arms and feet of Jesus, to be the witness to the character of Jesus Christ, to be the instrument of God’s mission to redeem. The church is a priesthood of all believers, conveying God to a fallen world and consecratin...

God's Mission Has A Church: God Sends a Savior

First Pres Colorado Springs Sermons ·

2025/02/16

The mission of God culminates in the sending of His Son Jesus Christ. All that has been promised and foreshadowed is now fully revealed in Him, and for the rest of history, the implications of what has been revealed in Jesus will be ours to explore. He is our Savior. He is our Lord, leading us now, by the Holy Spirit, on the mission of redemption. If Jesus was subject to difficulties and suffering, we will also be. But Jesus scorned the shame of the cross in comparison with the joy of redempt...
