In this second message in his series on the spiritual disciplines, Mike Osborne says that Christians should celebrate more often. In a culture that is already plenty hedonistic, why should followers of Christ be encouraged to “rejoice with those who rejoice”? How does Biblical celebration differ from office parties and club-hopping? Find out in this message from Romans 12:9-16.
This passage of Romans is one of the most-loved passages in all the Bible. In this conclusion to his Easter sermon series, Mike Osborne explains that believers are the object of God’s affection. The security that comes from knowing we are precious to God and Christ has risen can propel you to come out of hiding and live boldly for God’s glory.

This is the third in Mike Osborne’s Easter series on Romans 8. In the first part of this great chapter, the Apostle Paul lays out the benefits of our justification and sanctification. Now, in verses 12-17, he tells us about our adoption. What’s it like for you to think of God as your Father? Do you live from day to day with a consciousness that you are his dearly loved child? This message will help you understand three reasons you can rejoice in your adoption.
In this message Mike Osborne explains the difference between justification and sanctification, and gives two reasons why Christians should pursue their sanctification with joy. Perhaps you’ve grown discouraged in your fight for holiness. Find out why you shouldn’t give up.
With this message on Romans 8:1-4, Pastor Mike Osborne begins a new series called Finding Easter in Your Basket of Disappointment. The series is a 6-part study of Romans 8. The opening verses of the chapter teach that we have been justified, not by works we have done but by the work of Jesus Christ. If you struggle with unresolved guilt, listen to Mike’s explanation of what justification means, and begin again to preach the gospel to yourself everyday.
