Having seen people take the "saved by faith" route to an extreme that says, "I can't sin," Jamin calls people to a life of action.
Adam and Jesus
Jamin gets into all kinds of topics as he revisits Adam and Eden and reframes them in the light of Jesus.
Judgment
Paul had a great concern for the Christian who continues on in sin. Jamin addresses a few take-aways on Paul's message on judgment in Romans 2.
The Wrath of God
Now here's a subject Jamin rarely preaches on. But in attempts to stay faithful to Paul's message, he dives into the theme at the start of the book of Romans in this new series. In doing so, Jamin explains how we all often get wrath wrong in today's day in age.
Adventure
Myisha invites us to chase after God: the greatest adventure of all.
Loving God
Jamin wraps up his message series on 1208's new vision with the greatest commandment of all and the reason everything else in our vision exists: to love God.
Loving People
As Jamin continues his series on 1208's vision, he takes a very specific political turn on what Jesus calls the second greatest commandment: to love people. With the whole world at each other's throats in the election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and all kinds of hot topics being handled with insulting words, Jamin calls everyone to calm down and love each other again and agree on the things that Christians should be in agreement about, regardless of who was elected.
Fostering Growth
In this message on 1208's vision, Jamin explains the importance of discipling ourselves and others. The Christian was not meant to pray the sinner's prayer and be done with everything—they must continue to grow into the new creation Jesus has called them into. The Christian is to always be moving forward into something more.
Creating Space
Jamin kicks off this series on 1208's new vision with an important rule for 1208ers: we create space for others. Churches often keep people who are different from us at a distance, but the Bible shows us time and time again to create space for everyone to come close and experience the goodness of God, regardless of how different or undiscipled they are.
Exmas & Crissmas
Jamin uses one of C.S. Lewis' short stories to address the difference between the ways the Christian and the non-Christian celebrates and understands Christmas. Though now that some time has passed since Lewis wrote this paper, his prophetic words cut a bit to the heart: which holiday do Christians actually celebrate now a' days?
Shekinah
In this short Christmas Eve devotional, Jamin preaches on the concept of the "Shekinah"—something seemingly unrelated to Christmas.
The Wise Men
Jamin throws a new spin on the Christmas story of the Wise Men. We're they really supposed to be a part of the story or were they just party crashers?
Zechariah
Myisha jumps into the Christmas side story of Zechariah and the unexpected pregnancy of John the Baptist.
The Magnificat Moment
Mary's song, "The Magnificat," comes across a bit hilarious. There she is, talking with a relative when all of the sudden she breaks out into song as though she's on broadway. It's odd. Or is it?
The Virgin Birth
The virgin birth is often under scrutiny today, further showing our western enlightened mind's inability to have faith and believe in miracles. Jamin discourses on this subject and tries to give some logic as to why a virgin birth isn't even as weird as we make it out to be.
Self-Control
Myisha preaches on the Spirit's fruit of self-control.
Gentleness
Many of the stories about the church that make the news are stories of downright viciousness. The church is called to be gentle, but rather we often abuse our own and those outside of our churches. This isn't right.
Faithfulness
In a world full of divorce over the most minuscule of things, it becomes evident that the church knows little about faithfulness—especially in comparison to God's faithfulness, who has been faithful to us regardless of every time we have cheated on him with other gods and lovers.
Goodness
How do you preach on the fruit of the Spirit we call goodness? "Be good to people?" "Do good things?" How long does it take to communicate that? Apparently a bit longer than we think, because upon deeper research, it seems what Paul means when he says goodness is actually, "Generosity."
Kindness
Kindness is more contagious than we think it is and it's a mark the church could use more of.
