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.
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.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Life-Defining" from 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5. This message begins a new sermon series in 1 Thessalonians where the opening verses present defining marks of God's salvation in our lives. When we come to believe the Gospel, God empowers us to live changed lives that please and glorify Him.
Tom Siefert brings the message, "The Triumph of God" from Colossians 2:13-15. In our world where it appears evil is in control, we need to keep our focus on God, remembering He is the triumphant ruler over all things. Our hope rests on that truth!
Pastor Nate brings this message from 1 Peter 1:6-12. We see a paragraph that is very true to reality: Christians (or as we’ve learned from our study, “exiles”) can have both joy and grief at the same time. Grief comes from our trials. Joy comes from God’s salvation. And, Peter’s instruction helps us see that one leads the other.
Pastor Nate brings this message from 1 Peter 1:3-5. Under the inspiration of the Spirit, Peter begins his letter by praising God and rejoicing in salvation. It's an interesting way to address "exiles" who are suffering under the pressures of a pagan culture. Yet, keeping God's saving mercy in the forefront of our thinking will encourage us through the challenges of another day.
This message is from 1 Peter 2:18-25. Resurrection Sunday, the day that we especially celebrate the empty tomb and Jesus’ victory over death, is fast approaching. In this message we will study the impact of Jesus’ life for both Christians and non-Christians. Next week is the death of Jesus, and the following week (Easter) is the resurrection of Jesus.
How do I know if I'm saved? What if I don't feel saved? Satan will often tempt us with lies, and sometimes it's the lie that we aren't saved. In this sermon we look at truths from three passages (Philippians 1:6, Romans 8, 1 Peter 1) that remind those of us who have placed our faith in Christ, that we can have confidence in our eternal security.
