Austin Oaks Church

Welcome to our midweek series about all things politics and voting as a believer in Jesus. Here's a little explanation of what to expect over the next 4 weeks.

This week Pastor Brandon shares from 2 Corinthians 5 about our motivation and purpose for loving in all circumstances. Jesus has made us alive in Him and reconciled us to God, making each of us a new creation. His love shows us the value of others and propels us to engage with the world from a posture of love.

We often get entangled in the craziness of life and lose our joy. What does it mean to rejoice in all things? This week Pastor Chad shows us from Philippians 4 how we can anchor our joy on what God has done for us and put our hope in what He's promised to do.

Sometimes life feels like a mess. Like you can't seem to get everything straightened out the way you want. This week Pastor Brandon goes to Romans 8 to see how God untangles our mess through Jesus and what that means for us today.

Pastor Brandon finishes up the book of Ephesians by taking a look at what the Ephesian church would become and what we can learn from them.

This week Pastor Nima teaches from Ephesians 6 on how to stand in the spiritual battles we face using the tools that God has given us, and how our victory is assured because of what Christ has done on our behalf.

This week we're tackling everyone's favorite subject: authority and submission! Looking at Ephesians 5-6, Josh uses the context of Paul's letter to the Ephesians to show how a Christlike life humbly seeks to serve others.

This week Pastor Brandon talks about what it looks like to live as a Christian from Ephesians 5. Spoiler alert: it looks a lot like Jesus.

Continuing through Ephesians 4, Pastor Brandon talks about how the Christian's new life reflects the love of Jesus to a world in need of his salvation.
