Our relationship with Jesus will only be as deep as our commitment to His mission. But many of us are as resistant to sacrificing our comfort for his mission as we are in sacrificing our pride for his grace. In this sermon we look at our need to be converted to mission. http://www.charischurch.com/sermon/converted-to-mission http://www.charischurch.com/mediafiles/soma-converted-to-mission.mp3 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:39:16 GMT Jon Bricker soma mission,converted,concert,soma 38:37 Often times Christians have a limited view of their need for the gospel. They know that they once had a need for Jesus in their life, but they forget that they still have a need for Jesus in their life. We need a daily encounter with Jesus in order to live in the good of knowing Him. In this sermon, we look at our need for an encounter with Jesus. http://www.charischurch.com/sermon/encountering-jesus http://www.charischurch.com/mediafiles/soma-encountering-jesus.mp3 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:40:16 GMT Jon Bricker soma jesus,encountering,soma 42:32 One of the most important things Christians can do for the world is to show what the death and resurrection of Jesus has to do with people's real lives.

The gospel tells us that all of our efforts to make ourselves right fall short, but that God, out of sheer grace and love for us, has done all that we need through Jesus Christ to make us right. In this sermon, we see the vastly different effect the gospel has on both the proud and on the humble. We also look at what must take place in our hearts in order to receive the good news of the gospel and be forever changed by it. http://www.charischurch.com/sermon/seeing-glory http://www.charischurch.com/mediafiles/soma-seeing-glory.mp3 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 05:46:38 GMT Jon Bricker soma glory,seeing 40:29 In this sermon, we look to the presence of Jesus as the power and grace we need to live everyday life. The good news is that Jesus is Immanuel, "God with us". God is always and forever with His people, those who have trusted in the Savior. God has promised never to leave us nor forsake us. He does not intend for His children to live alone apart from Him. He has given us His presence. His power, love, and joy is constantly ours through faith to aid us as we encounter all of the joys, sorrows, and pains that come from living in a world awaiting final redemption. http://www.charischurch.com/sermon/the-presence-of-jesus http://www.charischurch.com/mediafiles/the-presence-of-jesus.mp3 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 01:48:48 GMT Jon Bricker soma jesus,presence,soma 37:44 Many Christians know that it is through faith we are saved by Jesus. However, many Christians do not know that it is through faith that we are kept by Jesus. It is through faith that we become and live as God's children. Faith through the word of Jesus is primary to living fruitful lives that bring joy to us, blessings to others, and glory to God over a lifetime. http://www.charischurch.com/sermon/finishing-through-faith http://www.charischurch.com/mediafiles/finishing-through-faith.mp3 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 22:21:49 GMT Jon Bricker Many Christians know that it is through faith we are saved by Jesus.

To draw us near to Jesus this Advent, Charis is studying Luke 15 and the parable Jesus told about a father and his love for his two sons. The father in the story reveals what God is like, while the two sons in the story help us see what we are like. In today's sermon, we examine how the older brother responds to the father's unconditional forgiveness of his repentant son. http://www.charischurch.com/sermon/the-older-brother http://www.charischurch.com/mediafiles/reckless-the-older-brother.mp3 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 02:58:38 GMT Jon Bricker Reckless: The Love of the Father reckless,older,brother,prodigal 36:07 Advent is a season where Christians all over the world celebrate the long-awaited promise given by God and kept in Jesus Christ.
