Wake Up
Micah Reaves preaches from Romans 13:11-12 on the urgency of waking out of spiritual sleep, using an alarm clock and the snooze button to picture how believers put off the work God has given them. He points to 1 Thessalonians 5, 1 Corinthians 15:34, and 1 Corinthians 11 to show that Christians are children of the day who ought to be watching, sober, and examining themselves rather than assuming someone else will do their job. He closes by reminding hearers that the lost are dying every second, that God is not willing that any should perish, and that every believer has a work to do until Christ returns.
Romans 8:12-27
Micah Reaves continues his verse-by-verse study of Romans 8, picking up at verse 11 and working through verse 27. He covers what it means to be debtors not to the flesh but to the Spirit, being led by the Spirit, adoption into the family of God, being joint heirs with Christ, the groaning of creation under sin, and the Spirit making intercession for us when we do not know how to pray. Along the way he draws in Romans 6, 1 Corinthians 6, 2 Corinthians 4, and Jeremiah 12, and urges believers to treat one another as a family and to keep waiting patiently for the redemption of the body.
Walk In The Spirit
Micah Reaves preaches through the opening verses of Romans 8, contrasting a life lived after the flesh with a life lived after the Spirit. He explains that the believer's righteousness and security rest in Christ, not in personal performance, and works through cross references in Galatians 5 and 6, 1 John 1, 1 Corinthians 2, and James 4 to show what sowing to the Spirit looks like day by day. He shares his own experience of backsliding at college and losing fellowship with godly friends, and urges hearers to keep fighting, to ask God for strength when weary, and to choose friendships that build them up in Christ.
Put off the Old Man
Micah Reaves preaches through Ephesians 4 beginning in verse 22, walking verse by verse through what it means to put off the old man, be renewed in the spirit of the mind, and put on the new man. He deals with anger, malice, lying, filthy communication, stealing, and complaining, warns against making provision for the flesh or giving the devil a place at the table of your life, and stresses knowing the Word of God well enough to use it against the devil's deceptions. He closes on being sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption, urging believers not to grieve or quench the Spirit and not to treat eternal security as a license to sin.
To Be Like Jesus
Micah Reaves preaches a topical message from Romans 8:29 on what it means for a believer to be conformed to the image of Christ, walking through ten attributes of Jesus drawn from passages in John, Philippians, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Colossians. He covers unconditional sacrificial love, humility, compassion and tender mercy, obedience to the Father, a dependent prayer life, forgiveness of offenders, holiness and separation from sin, bold proclamation of truth, servant leadership, and faith in God. He closes with Luke 9:23, reminding hearers that these traits are not a checklist but the fruit of a born again Christian yielded to the Holy Spirit.
Drive Them Out
Preaching from Judges 1, Micah Reaves shows how Israel repeatedly failed to drive out the nations God commanded them to conquer, making deals and compromises that left those enemies as a snare in their sides. He applies this to the Christian life, urging believers not to make allowances for sin but to fight it and put it away, warning that unconquered sin always resurfaces and leaves us worse off. Pastor Pierucki adds a note on ecclesiastical separation, calling for believers to stay separate from those who teach a works salvation.
Romans 8
Micah Reaves preaches verse by verse through Romans 8, continuing the theme of the inner battle between the flesh and the spirit and showing that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. He explains that Christ's righteousness is placed on the believer's account, urges Christians to walk in the spirit rather than feed the flesh, and points to the assurance of adoption as children and joint heirs with Christ. The message closes on the comfort that the Holy Spirit and Christ make intercession for us and that nothing can separate the believer from the love of God.
We Are Not Our Own
Micah Reaves preaches from 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, reminding believers that we are not our own but were bought with a price. Using an illustration of buying a car on the marketplace, he shows that we have no value in ourselves because of our sin, yet God places incalculable worth on us because He created us for His glory and purchased us with the blood of His Son. The message closes with a call to reject the world's lies about self and to glorify God in both body and spirit.
Romans Chapter 7
Micah Reaves teaches through Romans chapter 7 verse by verse, explaining how the believer is dead to the law through the body of Christ and now belongs to Him to bring forth fruit unto God. He walks through the ongoing struggle between the flesh and the spirit, using personal testimony to warn how small compromises lead to bigger ones, and stresses that we must keep fighting sin because we lose when we stop fighting. The message closes by pointing to Jesus Christ as the only deliverance from the body of this death.
Don't hide the gospel
Preaching from 2 Corinthians 4, Micah Reaves reminds believers that every Christian has a ministry to share the gospel and must not faint in the day of adversity. He warns against handling the word of God deceitfully, against work salvation and the prosperity gospel, and calls Christians to let their light shine rather than hide the gospel from a lost world. The message closes with the reminder that true belief leads to action and that we live for the eternal, not the temporal.
Jesus is knocking
Preaching from the account of Christ's birth in Luke 2, Micah Reaves points to the phrase that there was no room and applies it to our own hearts. He shows how Jesus was despised and rejected during His earthly life, yet still stands and knocks, asking to be let into every area of our lives. The message calls believers to stop telling the Lord no room, to surrender the areas they hold back, and to live a surrendered life with Christ as first priority.
