And generally when we pray we are asking for something that will increase our happiness and joy. How we pray and what we pray for reveals how we view God, ourselves and others around us. A question to ponder: If all your prayers so far in 2010 were answered, would the world be a better place or would you just be more comfortable? In John 16:16-33 Jesus tells his disciples that their path to joy is found in asking the Father in the name of Jesus. In this sermon we find out that effectual prayers are found by those who abide in Jesus, who have the words of Jesus abiding in them and who have their passions in check and renewed by the truths of God. http://www.somaaustin.org/sermon/jesus-changes-everything-ask-well-john-1616-33 http://www.somaaustin.org/mediafiles/jesus-changes-everything-pray-well-john-1616-33.mp3 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:15:12 GMT Jacob Vanhorn Jesus Changes Everything jesus,john,pray,ask,truth,mourn,rejoice,joy,hope,soma_austin,austin 58:55 The Christian life can be hard. Not because of Jesus and the mission of renewal that He calls us to. But because we fight that renewal so hard in our own lives. Instead we stick to old thought and behavior patterns that hurt us, rather than help us, or we think to highly of ourselves while we compare ourselves to someone that we are better than. Jesus knew that would be the case for us, which is why He sends us the Helper to help. The Helper (the Holy Spirit) helps us by 1) making us aware of our bad patterns by convicting us of sin, by 2) showing us the bankruptcy of trusting in our fleeting accomplishments and by 3) defeating the devil which tempts us. Through obedience in hearing and trusting the truth of the Helper we grow in our obedience, in our mission and in our glorifying of God. http://www.somaaustin.org/sermon/jesus-changes-everything-the-helper-helps-john-161-15 http://www.somaaustin.org/mediafiles/jesus-changes-everything-the-helper-helps-john-161-15.mp3 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:15:16 GMT Jacob Vanhorn Jesus Changes Everything jesus,gospel,spirit,holy,help,devil,trust,mission,soma,austin,church,renewal 54:54 Jesus calls us to Himself as the true vine of life and joy that we must abide to in order to produce fruits of effectual prayer, joy, obedience and purpose.

That same Helper, the Holy Spirit, is promised to all those who have faith in Jesus. http://www.somaaustin.org/sermon/jesus-changes-everything-the-promised-helper-john-1415-31 http://www.somaaustin.org/mediafiles/jesus-changes-everything-the-promised-helper-john-1415-31.mp3 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 00:48:43 GMT Jacob Vanhorn Jesus Changes Everything soma_austin,alone,friend,hope,lonely,jesus,helper,john,holy_spirit 83:16 2009 was a pretty awesome year for Soma Austin!! In this sermon we recap some sermon highlights and celebrate evidence of renewal in us, in Austin and around the world that we have been a part of in renewing peoples and communities through declaring and demonstrating the gospel. http://www.somaaustin.org/sermon/remembering-2009 http://www.somaaustin.org/mediafiles/remembering-2009.mp3 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 23:30:22 GMT Jacob Vanhorn Stand Alone Message 2009,new_year,soma,austin,john,renewal,celebrate,community,gospel,jesus 64:17 Jesus' heart for the nations from John 11:45-55. http://www.somaaustin.org/sermon/jesus-changes-everything-jesus-for-the-nations-john-1145-55 http://www.somaaustin.org/mediafiles/jesus-changes-everything-jesus-for-the-nations-john-1145-55.mp3 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 20:25:48 GMT Jacob Vanhorn Jesus Changes Everything jesus,gospel,world,love,hope,nations,john,soma,austin,church 64:05 In this final messianic sign, Jesus shows both his compassion and authority in weeping over the death of Lazarus and resurrecting him after he has been dead four days. Jesus enters our sorrow, grieves with us and gives us life.

In the gospel of John, Jesus continually shows us that God is more complex than we understand. In this sermon we introduce the trinity through several passages throughout scripture, unpack the idea that the Godhead is equal in essence yet distinct in their roles, and how this is modeled in the church and our families. http://www.somaaustin.org/sermon/jesus-changes-everything-jesus-and-the-father-are-one-john-1022-42 http://www.somaaustin.org/mediafiles/gospel-of-john-jesus-and-the-father-are-one-john-1022-42.mp3 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 01:27:03 GMT Jacob Vanhorn Jesus Changes Everything jesus,god,holy_spirit,trinity,communitarian,trinitarian,polytheism,monotheism,godhead,church,family,complementarian 34:21 This sermon covers John 10:1-21 in which Jesus is sharing a parable about a shepherd, his sheep and those who threaten the sheep. In it, we see the difference between religion and the gospel of Jesus. As part of the sermon we discuss 1) the curse test, 2) the circumcision test, 3) the generosity test and 4) the condemnation test. http://www.somaaustin.org/sermon/jesus-changes-everything-jesus-vs-religion-john-101-21-bad-audio http://www.somaaustin.org/mediafiles/gospel-of-john-jesus-vs-religion-john-101-21-bad-audio.mp3 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 01:25:56 GMT Jacob Vanhorn Jesus Changes Everything jesus,gospel_of_john,religion,shepherd,sheep,generosity,condemnation 55:47 Jesus heals a blind man who grows in his understanding and testimony of what happened. In the passage is a growing tension Jesus continues of earthy understanding and spiritual understandings. There is a strong tendency to trust our five senses so strongly that we miss seeing things spiritually. http://www.somaaustin.org/sermon/jesus-changes-everything-open-eyes-closed-hearts-john-9 http://www.somaaustin.org/mediafiles/gospel-of-john-open-eyes-closed-hearts-john-9.mp3 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 01:25:07 GMT Jacob Vanhorn Jesus Changes Everything jesus,blind_man,healing,miracles,spiritual_truth 48:30 Jesus makes his claims of divinity clear to the Jewish leaders and they respond by wanting to stone him.
