What is Jesus looking for when He examines your life? In Mark 11:11-26, we see Jesus confront a fig tree that had leaves but no fruit, a powerful illustration of how God views our spiritual fruitfulness. Just like physical fruit satisfies and nourishes people, spiritual fruit glorifies and satisfies God (John 15:8).In this sermon, “What Is Jesus Looking for in You?” missionary Steve Kern explores what the Bible says about bearing spiritual fruit. Using the parable of the fig tree, he challenges us to live a life of genuine faith, bearing lasting spiritual fruit that glorifies God. Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/ Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Jesus’ command to “Follow Me” is found 21 times in the gospels. Being a disciple means learning to follow Christ. As disciples, we are greatly committed to what God is greatly committed to: the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he answers the question, “What does it mean to be a disciple?” by unpacking the call of a believer. Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/ Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

God promises to renew, reenergize, and revive His people when they have grown weary. Isaiah 40:28-31 uses a similitude to describe the people of God. He says that they shall mount up with “wings like eagles.”To wait upon the Lord means to spread your wings of faith and obedience. And the Holy Spirit, like the wind beneath your wings, will carry you high and far, even above the storms. The abundant life is the spirit-filled life! It’s spreading your wings of faith and obedience, so the Spirit of God completely controls your life. Join Pastor Phil Hopper for a special 25-year anniversary sermon where he teaches us what it means to wait on the Lord and mount up with wings like eagles.Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/ Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

The battle for your mind is waging every day. Do you know how to defend against it?Although we live in the physical world, we must remember that there is a real battle waging in the spiritual realm for our minds. As believers, we are not waging war for victory, but rather from victory. Stand fast on divine facts, and don’t be lured down off the high ground.5 Weapons of Our Spiritual Warfare:UnityWorshipPrayerThanksgivingTruthJoin Pastor Phil Hopper as he concludes the Philippians series by discussing Satan’s tactics in spiritual warfare and the battle for your mind. Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/ Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Living with an eternal perspective changes how you live and how you give. In his letter to the Philippians, the Apostle Paul encouraged the believers to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus and invest in things that will last for eternity. A focus on eternity is reflected in two ways: The way you LIVE and the way you GIVE! Money is necessary, but it is never the ultimate priority when you have an eternal perspective. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he teaches how the abundant life is marked by living purposefully, giving generously, and focusing on eternity. Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/ Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Are you struggling to find hope in suffering? In Philippians, Paul gives us an example of how to rejoice through trials. He tells us that pain is God’s present to help us grow in God’s presence.Three reasons to rejoice in the Lord even when you suffer…It’s through suffering faithfully that we grow in our dependency.It’s through suffering faithfully that we bring God glory.It’s through suffering faithfully that we are being promoted eternally.When you focus on the prize of Jesus, you can rejoice through trials and find the strength and hope to carry on.Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/ Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

How does the Bible define redemption, and is it the same as religion? The A-Life demands a redemption mentality, not a “religion” mentality. Biblical redemption is not the same as religion.We are saved only by Christ’s work for us, and not by our work for Christ. Our work, no matter how righteous or religious, has no power to save us!Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares how biblical redemption leads to faith and prompts us to put our love for Jesus into actionConnect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifelsConnect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?
