Covenant Life Church - That's My King

04/20/25 • 40 min

When Jesus Christ walked out of the tomb on Easter morning, He walked out in a resurrected physical body. When He was on the earth, He was in a physical body. He was — and IS — a real person. He’s not a mythical figure or a philosophical construct; there is a real Jesus this morning who not only lived, died and rose again but also Who is alive and well this morning and will live forever! From almost every church on Easter, an invitation will go out to follow Jesus, but not everyone who claims to be a Christian is one. However, not every pulpit is preaching the real Jesus revealed in His Word. The goal of following Jesus isn’t fame or fortune. It is forgiveness of sin, relationship with Him and a commitment to His Kingdom. It’s the ability to say with confidence, “That’s my King.”

Covenant Life Church - Serpent, Servant, and Savior

There is much to be learned in the four gospels by reading about the crucifixion of Jesus, but what often gets lost in the sensory overload of the events described is the perspective that only time and distance can offer. If you just read the accounts, you’ll get the impression that it was a power play, a political assassination or a religious feud. However, the Bible tells us that Jesus was sent for this. The crucifixion didn’t happen by accident. It was the plan all along because He loves the world that much. It wasn’t an assassination; Jesus willingly laid down His life. In fact, when Jesus talks about the cross in John 3, He refers to an event from Moses’s life that happened 1,800 years before He was even born. This week, we’re going outside the crucifixion accounts to find new depth and insight.

Covenant Life Church - The Greater Plan

05/18/25 • 42 min

In Jeremiah 29:11-14, God is speaking to the exiles in Babylon. His message to the Jewish people who had been deported from Jerusalem was one of hope and a future; He wanted them to know that He had plans for them despite their hardship. While graduating isn’t the same as being deported, it is a huge accomplishment reflecting hard work and dedication, and it is a move the rest of the students’ lives. For Graduation Recognition Sunday, Matt Carlisle — a member of our high school ministry team — encourages young people to build their lives on the firm foundation of God’s Word. By pointing out five common things we’re all likely to face, he illustrates that the things from our childhood can follow us through adulthood, but he also reminds us that Jesus can help us change and overcome the challenges of life.

Covenant Life Church - Present Tents

Present Tents

Covenant Life Church

play

04/27/25 • 48 min

The tent of meeting, which we read about in Exodus 33, was a tent that Moses set up outside the camp of the Israelites. He would go into the tent and meet with God about the decisions he needed to make and directions he needed to take in leading Israel toward the will of God. It was a place where Moses could be in the manifested presence of God. As a matter of fact, some translations called it the Tent of the Lord’s Presence. When we think of talking to or hearing from God, we often think it may happen at some point in the future or that we missed opportunity sometime in the past. However, the Bible refers to our bodies as temporary tents and says they are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. We don’t have to worry that we’ve missed our chance or wait until the future; we can enter into God’s presence any place and time — right here in the present tense.

Covenant Life Church - The Ups and Downs of Fatherhood
play

06/16/24 • 39 min

Throughout history, the role of the father has been vital to the stability of their children. Fathers have been the cornerstones of their families and the communities. In modern times, the role of the father has been diminished as part of an intentional spiritual attack designed to weaken our families and the fabric of our nation. In honor of Father’s Day, we’re talking about the investment that we make in our kids. There are thousands of dollars and thousands of hours spent raising a kid to 18, but this week, we’re looking at a different kind of investment: what fathers say, display and pray. These three areas naturally define a child — whether positively or negatively.

Covenant Life Church - Defeating Fear

Defeating Fear

Covenant Life Church

play

06/02/24 • 47 min

In John 14:27, Jesus said that He was giving His followers a gift of peace that we can’t get anywhere else. Rather than being a peace that requires a solution to every problem or the silencing of every storm, it’s an internal piece that holds, keeps and sustains us. It is His peace, and it is able to bring us calm in every circumstance and courage and strength for every challenge. If this is a gift we can freely receive, it begs the question: what keeps us from being peaceful? A lot of people would say worry, but that’s actually an effect instead of the cause. Others might say that anxiety or busyness steal their peace, but the root cause behind many of these issues is fear. This week, we’re talking more about peace and how can we obtain it by defeating fear.

Covenant Life Church - The Mother Load: Relational Uncertainty
play

05/12/24 • 40 min

Mothers wear many hats and fill countless roles for their families, including alarm clock, short order cook, accountant, toxic waste disposer, wardrobe consultants, hair stylist, editor, referee, chauffeur and more. According to Galatians 6:2, we're called to carry each other's burdens, but sometimes, it can get out of balance, which can lead to uncertainty in our relationships. This week, Pastor Jay Mann walks us through some of life's "loading zones," situations and circumstances that cause us to take on more than we can reasonably bear. Afterward, he shares four biblical principles we can use to overcome the cynicism, burnout and tiredness we feel, relieving uncertainty and allowing us to live in peace with God and other people.

Covenant Life Church - The Power of Community

The Power of Community

06/09/24 • 41 min

At Covenant Life Church, we’re devoted to making disciples who are real, relational and reaching. That is our mission and vision statement, and it’s derived from what we read in Acts 2:41-47. The early church established a discipleship system designed to fulfill the Great Commission — one that revolved around meeting, ministering, praying, worshipping, serving and giving together in community. This week, we’re talking about the power of community and how being an active part of the body helps people become better disciples of Jesus. To do this properly, we must KNOW Jesus, GROW in faith and fellowship and GO into the mission field. The challenge following this message is to get involved by finding ways to serve and using your gifts at Covenant Life or any church you call home.

Covenant Life Church - Healing for Moms

Healing for Moms

Covenant Life Church

play

05/11/25 • 33 min

Motherhood is a double-edged sword. We do not deny that children are a gift from God, but it is equally true that being a mother is a sword that will pierce your soul — as it says in Luke 2:35. Although that verse is about Mary seeing Jesus suffer on the cross, what mother hasn’t felt the slice of that sword as they have watched their own children suffer through the trials of life. Motherhood is messy. It’s difficult and leaves you with emotional baggage that you are too often too busy, too religious, too polite, too numb or too wounded to deal with, but Jesus is a Healer. If we truly believe our church is in a season of healing, it would make no sense to spend Mother’s Day glossing over things that cause pain. This week, we’re trying to help moms find healing.
