Ignite Church Sermon Audio

Heaven is a place that most of our culture and society are totally ok with. The problem with Heaven is not whether or not people would like to go there, but rather the perception of why would we want to go, or what it even is.Let's talk about Heaven today with Pastor Jason.

The tomb is empty and the King is risen! Resurrection was not only something Christ did, but something He continues to do in the hearts of his sons and daughters.

How does Jesus handle emotions? How does he react when we bring our emotions to him? In week 2 of our series on resurrection, Pastor Chris shares the well known story of Lazarus. There are so many things you can pull from this story, but we guarantee you haven't looked at it from this way before!

We serve a God of Resurrection! No matter who He encounters and no matter how dead the situation seems, He is Lord over death!Join Pastor Jason as he dives into week one of our Easter series of 2024 as we dive into the miraculous power of Jesus.

It's always a special treat to have Pastor David Nelms in the house to share with our church the latest updates on The Timothy Initiative. This past year we have been a partner with this ministry to see churches planted all over the globe.This week Pastor David shares an update of how we are helping plant churches far from us in Easter NC.

In week two of our series "Here, Near, and Far" we are talking about how God has called our church to reach people near us in the state of NC. We have special guest speaker, Chris Hankins, join us for a powerful message and sharing about Ignite's ministry partner, Carolina Movement. We are partnering with them to see a church planted in every county of NC (100 churches).

The mission of Ignite is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ, and our Vision to accomplish that mission is to plant gospel centered church's here, near and far.Pastor Jason explains the first part of our vision in this message: Here. God has called us to impact the community immediately around us in Greenville/Winterville, NC.

There is perhaps no other part of the Christian faith that has more mystery than the person of the Holy Spirit. Who is he/it? What do they do? There are often more questions than answers, but the one thing we can't ignore is the reality that He is God, and Jesus told us it was good for Him to leave so the Holy Spirit could come. Join Pastor Jason in week 3 of Oil Change to discuss who the Holy Spirit is and how do we have a relationship with Him!

What do you really control in your life? Are our lives completely predestined and mapped out before we even act, or do we have complete control over our destiny?It's time to tune up this part of our theology and pay attention to the things that we are responsible for and are in control of. Here's week 2 of Oil Change with Pastor Jason.

We all need a tune up every once in a while when our engine has so many miles on it. We also need to revisit parts of our theology that we haven't looked at in a while to see where we have strayed.In week one we look at the concept of salvation. There is almost nothing more core to what it means to be a Christian, but this theological topic is one that can become too familiar if we aren't careful.

Daniel and the lion's den is the story we have heard over and over, but when is the last time you really read that story with fresh eyes? Daniel's heart was devotion to God, and prayer in the face of death. Do we approach prayer with that level of devotion?Let's dive into the last week of our series Desperate!

Do you follow the crowd or do you follow your own path? Do you speak up when something is not right, or are you more passive in your convictions? These are hard questions that many times we don't even have to confront, but that was not the case in this weeks story from the book of Daniel. What can we learn from the desperation shown by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego?Join us for week 3 of Desperate!

It's one thing to struggle with control issues, it's another thing to come face to face with God and realize you are utterly and completely out of control. That's what happens in this weeks passage from the book of Daniel. Join Pastor Jason to dive into this amazing passage and what we can learn about our own control issues.

Starting 2024 with a desperation for God is the best thing we can do. To seek Him above anything else will only make 2024 the best year we have ever lived. Join Pastor Jason as he talks about a few men who were in a place of intense persecution but were desperate to follow God no matter what!

Celebrate Christmas with us in God's word! The wise men were such an interesting group of individuals and there is a lot to learn from them!

The Shepards are often glossed over in the Christmas story and in some ways, rightfully so! They were the common people with jobs that no one else wanted. But in typical fashion God revealed his plan to those who least expected it and in many ways didn't deserve it. God is pursuing us in so many of the same ways! Dive into week 2 of "Here Comes Heaven" with Pastor Jason and learn about the story of the Shepards!

Mary undoubtedly has one of the most unique human experiences we have on record. Heaven was a part of her life in a way that no one else ever encountered. How did she respond and how should we respond when we encounter Heaven in this way?

How God speaks to us is through his word. It's really that simple.The Bible can be difficult to understand, but that should never keep us from reading and consuming it every day. It is truly one of the biggest components to the secret sauce of being a Christian.

Prayer is communication with the God of the universe. Sometimes we take that pretty lightly or miss the point entirely.Join Pastor Jason (Sporting his Star Wars apron) as we dive into the topic of prayer!

Without the right ingredients a Christian just doesn't seem like a Christian.Why does this matter? We aren't working for our salvation, but we are representing Christ on Earth and that does matter!
