Pastor Nate brings the message ""A Perplexing Resurrection" from Luke 24:1-12. Christians all over the world celebrate the reality of the Risen Jesus. We see how the women were perplexed at the tomb, how the angels had a proclamation of truth, and how the disciples had varying responses to the resurrection. Our perplexities come to rest when we lay hold of the Risen Savior.
Pastor Nate brings the message "The King Who Wept” from Luke 19:28-40. This message is the celebration of Jesus coming into Jerusalem just days before His death. He is a King entering the capital city to shouts of praise. Yet, He weeps over the blindness of their hearts. We have a Savior who has power to save and compassion for those who need Him.
Pastor Nate brings the message "The Lord of Peace” from 2nd Thessalonians 3:16-18. Is there peace for the Christian in the midst of the "storm?" Or, can it only be obtained when the good times are rolling? For the Christians who were experiencing afflictions, Paul's prayer at the end of 2 Thessalonians leads us to conclude the following: if you have the Lord in the midst of the storm, peace can be found with Him.
Pastor Nate brings the message "Accountability for the Busybody" from 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15. What do you do with the professing Christian who freeloads because he refuses to work? That was the challenge the Thessalonian church faced. And, it's the passage with significant implications for our lives that we'll cover this Sunday!
Pastor Stephen brings the message “Talking Like Christians” from 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5. In Paul's letters, we often find him encouraging believers with simple truths, praying for them, and asking for prayer. In short, Paul writes like a Christian talking to Christians. But for us, it can often feel awkward or hard to talk casually about faith, grace, or what God's doing in our lives with our Christian friends. Our passage for Sunday will model what uplifting, casual, Christian conversation can look like in our relationships with other believers.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Give Thanks" from 1 Thessalonians 5:12-18. With Thanksgiving coming up next week, we are going to take a Sunday to look at passages in the Bible concerning a thankful heart. Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
