1 Thessalonians

Increasing and Abounding in Love

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Increasing and Abounding in Love” from 1 Thessalonians 3:6-13.  What role does your love for others play in your standing before God? That's a question that Paul answers at the end of 1 Thessalonians 3.  When we see love flowing through our lives God is establishing us in holiness.

Affliction, Meet Faith

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Affliction, Meet Faith” from 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:5.  Would it surprise you to hear that in God's wisdom He has so ordered our lives that we would come face to face with affliction?  Paul says that we are "destined for this."  But we are not left without hope.  In our sermon, we will see how faith tethers us to God so that we can remain established in Him.

A Word that Works

Pastor Nate brings the message, "A Word that Works” from 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16.  When Paul defended his ministry in Thessalonica, he did so by pointing out the changes that happened in the lives of these new Christians.  People were changed, not because of Paul's speaking skills, but because they received the Word of God in faith.  As believers we can be thankful and confident that God has given His Word to be at work in our lives.

The Character of a Gospel Witness

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Character of a Gospel Witness” from 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12.  One of the greatest blessings that God gives us is the privilege of sharing the Gospel with non-Christians.  It's a joyful moment knowing that God is very specifically using that moment for His glory.  As we long to practice evangelism more and more, Paul shows us four important lessons for being a Gospel Witness.

Life-Changing - Part 2

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Life-Changing" Part 2 from 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10. In the opening chapter of 1 Thessalonians we are seeing the power of the Gospel in the lives of believers.  Salvation does bring about change.  And, as a church we want to be that change for the glory of God and for encouragement and witness to those around us.

Isaiah

Comfort, Comfort My People

Comfort, Comfort My People

Rich Kolmus brings the message, "Comfort, Comfort My People.”  If you've lived long enough, you know that life isn't always easy.  At one point or another, we will all wrestle with suffering or sickness simply because we are part of Adam's fallen race.  Other times, we face sorrows and pains that are the direct result of sin - our own or someone else's.  Often, the adage "God won't give us more than we can handle" will ring completely hollow as we face difficulties that are well beyond our capacity. 

When you are at the end of yourself, is God still there?  Does He remember you?  Does He care?  Can He help?  Isaiah 40 reminds God's people that the answer is... Yes!

Great Expectations

Great Expectations

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Great Expectations" from Isaiah 11:1-5.  Two thousand years ago the people of God desperately longed for the Messiah to come.  His arrival would mark the beginning of a new era characterized by freedom and peace.  Today, the advent season not only reminds us of Christ's first coming, but also causes us to desperately long for (and expect) His second coming. Oh, how we will be set free!
