Pastor Stephen brings the message, "Why Church Membership Matters.” Is church membership a modern practice, or a Biblical one? Is it more like being a family member, or a Costco member? Many of us have questions about just how essential this practice is. Many of us may question what it is. This Sunday, we'll look at what Scripture has to say about the believers responsibility to the local church.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Practice of Giving." For the next three weeks we will turn to the Bible to look at healthy practices for a local church. This week we are looking at the practice of giving; next week is the practice of membership and serving. The last week we will cover the practice of Biblical discipline. Ask God to use this series in your own life and for His glory in the church.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Waiting for the Lord” from Psalm 27. Pastor Nate brings the message, "Waiting for the Lord" from Psalm 27. What can you do when fear threatens the security of your life? In Psalm 27 God gives us a way for fear to be defeated by a Biblically driven faith that waits for the Lord. What does that faith look like? Let's study Psalm 27 together to find out.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "God, Test Me” from Psalm 26. We gathered together as a church family around the communion table and celebrated the victorious work of Christ over sin and death. Paul says that as we approach this gathering we ought to examine ourselves for unrepentant sin. The passage and sermon of Psalm 26 helps us to confidently examine our lives under God's steadfast love...love that changes our lives.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "God’s Plan for Shame” from Psalm 25. Shame occasionally shows up and is the unwanted guest in our hearts. People's words, their hurtful actions, or even our own sins can open the door to this intruder, and he can stick around for years. In Psalm 25 David helps us voice our hurt and plead with the Lord for help.
Two weeks ago, we saw Jesus moving us from the religious celebration of the Passover meal to a new meal we call "communion." On Sunday we will be studying this important ordinance and seeing how God uses this meal in our lives. Following the sermon we will, like a family, participate in the communion meal together.
Pastor Tom Siefert brings the message, "God Only Wise." We live in a world that often appears chaotic, so even the experiences of our personal lives can seem pointless and random. The reality is that everything in the world and our lives is being guided by the wisdom of God. This gives us hope when things are confusing. Despite how it looks, God is working everything toward the design He has ordained.
