Pastor Andy brings the message, “Grace for 2023” from John 1:16-18. What do we want to focus on as a church and as individuals this coming year? What will define us? This year, let's be defined by Grace.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Jesus Above All." In Mark 9:1-13, we see the transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain and a voice from heaven declaring Him to be the Beloved Son. Clearly, Jesus' exalted status is being proclaimed, but it's Peter who unknowingly says that Jesus is on par with Elijah and Moses. How often do we fail to see Jesus' glory and then place Him right alongside (or below) other good things?
Pastor Andy brings the message, "Identity and Mission" from Mark 8:27-9:1. Mark 8:29 is the watershed moment of the gospel: Peter confesses Jesus is the Messiah. The disciples finally understand Jesus' identity. Immediately, Jesus begins to reveal his mission. With the disciples, we will begin to see Jesus' identity and mission as inseparable. And his identity and mission have ramifications on the cost of discipleship.
Pastor Luke brings the message, "The Power of the Church" from Acts 12. There are times when it seems like the church will be snuffed out like a struggling flame, or that the oppression and persecution will grow to a point when the darkness will overcome it. Yet, we are reminded in Acts 12 that the power of the church does not rest in the people of the church, but in the object of their faith.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Who is This?" That's the question people asked when Jesus came into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Is he a prophet? A king? Just a good man in the history books? As we anticipate the arrival of Resurrection Sunday, we first need to know who Jesus is. And Matthew answers that question by using the prophecies of the Old Testament to show that He's the Savior whom everyone needs.
The message is taken from Matthew 2:1-12. As Christmas draws near we need to ask ourselves the question, “Who is Jesus?” In our passage we’ll see that Jesus is King and explore the significance of that identity. But then we’ll see that His identity brings two very different responses and will leave us asking the question, “How will we respond to Him as King?”
This message is from Matthew 8:23-27. The same Jesus who stilled the storm on Galilee…who demonstrated that he has complete control over the powers of nature, is the Jesus who never leaves us or forsakes us. He is always in the back of our boat, always ready to intervene when we cry out to the God of heaven for help.
The message is from Matthew 28:18-20. Matthew 28 has long been the hallmark passage of Missions. Jesus’ command to go and make disciples has compelled thousands of people to go and share the Good News to gospel destitute locations. But what is the significance of this passage for us? Why should we make disciples? These are the questions that will be answered in this message.
This sermon is from Matthew 13:44.
