Christmas at Sanctus: Light of the World - The Father
Monday Dec 23, 2019
Monday Dec 23, 2019
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: Genesis 2, Revelation 21, Colossians 1
Sermon Description:
When we look up at the stars, we can’t help but feel a sense of wonder. The cosmos were designed to reveal God’s glory—to point us back to the Creator of it all.
Yet God is more than just the author of light. He is light. What does this reveal about His nature and character?
When we circle back to the beginning, we see how the stories of both Creation and Christmas reveal the goodness of God's heart.
It's there from the start: eternal and unwavering holiness. In Jesus, we see what happens when the light of the world invades the darkness. His life, death, and resurrection destroyed darkness and replaced it with everlasting light. From throne to cradle, God entered our story so that we may have salvation and eternal life.
This light now shines in our hearts. The Holy Spirit empowers us live out a story of re-creation and victory. By walking in and with the light, we become children of light—and glorify the Father by showing the world what it looks like to finally see.

Galatians - Week ELEVEN
Sunday Dec 08, 2019
Sunday Dec 08, 2019
Speaker: Jon Thompson
Scripture: Galatians 6
Summary:Welcome to the eleventh and final week in our series on the book of Galatians. To conclude this incredible journey, we turn our attention to Paul's highly practical conclusion.
Paul demonstrates his wisdom by translating knowledge into action; he preemptively answers the most likely question in the minds of his audience at this point: Now what?
Paul crafts a series of verses to explain not only what Gospel freedom look like in action, but how we maintain our freedom in the real world while continuing to build our lives on the firm foundation that true freedom comes from a promise, not performance—and Jesus is the promised one.
God set us free for a reason. Let's find out what it really means to be a new creation.

Galatians - Week TEN
Sunday Dec 01, 2019
Sunday Dec 01, 2019
Speaker: Joel Penney
Scripture: Galatians 5:16-26
Summary:
Welcome to Week Ten in our series on Galatians.
There is a war inside each of us between the Spirit and our sinful nature. The Spirit wants us to be more like Christ and our flesh wants us back into slavery. According to Paul, to win this battle we must choose, every day, to be led by the Spirit.
The way of the flesh (world) is a trap: living your own way looks like freedom, but it’s a lie. It’s actually slavery. Paul provides us with a hopeful list of all that we can experience when we choose a life in the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
