This sermon teaches that answering Jesus's question, "Who do you say that I am?" with the truth of his identity as the Christ of God is the foundation for a transformed life. The message explains that a true confession of faith leads to a new priority to follow Jesus above all else, a new identity found in losing one's life for his sake, and a new vitality that comes from understanding his sacrificial love on the cross.

This sermon argues that true purpose is found not in worldly success, but in knowing God, becoming like Him, and multiplying His grace in the world. This is achieved by remembering our cleansing from sin, resting in God's promises, and receiving His provision through Jesus Christ.

This sermon explains that the early Christians, though ordinary, revolutionized the world by living and dying with an extraordinary purpose. Their radical lives were a result of being "cut to the heart" by the gospel—specifically, by the conviction of Christ's death and resurrection—which led them to submit to His Lordship and live lives marked by a freedom from sin's power.

This sermon uses the Day of Pentecost from Acts 2 to discuss what it means to be "filled with the Holy Spirit" and how this spiritual filling can lead to revival. It draws a parallel between the first Pentecost (when God gave the law on Mount Sinai) and the second Pentecost (when God gave the Holy Spirit), arguing that Christians today live in an ongoing "Pentecost" where they are called to live daily by the power of the Spirit.

This sermon emphasizies that a secure identity is found not in worldly achievements but in a relationship with Jesus, who transforms our past and secures our future. The message encourages the congregation to find their purpose by remaining faithful to God's calling and continuing His mission of spreading the gospel.

This sermon argues that effectively sharing the gospel requires three "batteries": a gospel burden, a gospel identity, and a gospel circle. The message emphasizes that by understanding our true identity in Christ's righteousness, we can be freed from shame to actively and lovingly share the precious gospel message with those in our lives who need to hear it.

This sermon celebrates Resonate's nine-year anniversary by presenting seven prayers for its future, focusing on the importance of glorifying God, prioritizing mercy over judgment, and making obedience a joyful desire rather than a burdensome chore. It ultimately argues that a true relationship with God is not about obtaining external blessings but about finding ultimate satisfaction and purpose in Jesus himself, which in turn leads to a life of authentic worship and good works.

This sermon argues that serving Jesus is a radical commitment to His mission, not an attempt to use His power for personal gain or to balance faith with other earthly priorities. It emphasizes that true service is a joyful response to God's grace, rooted in the identity of being saved, rather than a means of earning His favor.

Pastor Ryan's sermon explores the purpose and identity of the church. The main point is that a biblical church is not defined by cultural ideas of self-interest or consumerism but is instead a redeemed community called to live out the gospel by proclaiming it, spreading it, and committing to one another in local fellowship for the glory of Christ.
