Connection Church Sioux Falls

As we dissect the anatomy of a praise song, we see how praise can be a response to a command - one that all peoples will one day participate in, and how praise includes standing in awe of a powerful God who is in control and loves His people.

Believing the Gospel is believing you're accepted in full by the God of the universe and now belong to an eternal family from whom you will never leave.

Obedience and love for the church are practical evidences of our blood-bought position before God.

God loves you; there's no person who can discredit you. God loves you; there's no problem that can defeat you. God loves you; there's no past that can discourage you. God loves you; there's no power can destroy you.

Safety is often sought in the confines of the boat but actually the safest place to be is in the presence of Jesus. Even if that means taking a step out on faith, walking on the water towards the Savior is the safest place to be.

God is a loving father and our response to Him is joyful praise.

Sin is toxic and confession is required. If we have been given freedom from being slaves to sin; what then is our fighting strategy? It is to confess.

If you've ever struggled with addiction, made the same mistakes repeatedly, blew up at your kids - apologized - and then blew up at them again. This message can help you.

​Jesus uses the things we cling to in order to expose what we truly value and show us a greater joy that can be found only in him.

Like a true friend of the groom at a wedding; we serve Him, honor Him, and celebrate with Him.

The Spirit of God works like the wind to give us new life in order that we might look to the Exalted Christ.

The old way of being was defined by natural birth. The new way of being in the New Kingdom, the New Creation, is by supernatural birth.

Jesus exposes the difference between a Worshiper and a Consumer.

Just as Jesus transformed a wedding by turning water into wine, He took the old system and washing with water and made a new one in his body and blood.

Jesus is who you have been looking for. Jesus calls us to be His disciples, and as we follow Him, we bring others to Jesus.

John was sent by God to expose sin and point to Jesus. So are we. We are sent by God to expose sin for what it is and point to Jesus for who He is: Our means of new birth as sons and daughters of God.

There is a logos, a reason, an existential purpose. It is not a philosophy. It is a person named Jesus.
