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.
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.
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.
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 Andy brings the message, “Divine Destiny” from Acts 8:26-40. Luke records the meeting between Philip and an Ethiopian. And the closer we read, we realize, “This cannot be just coincidence!” This study will help us to better understand God’s divine destiny for Philip and for the Ethiopian. And, for us today.
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 Luke brings the message, "Equipped with the Promises" from Acts 1:6-11. Jesus' last words to His disciples focused on the task of spreading the gospel to the ends of the earth. Yet, in this daunting task, He provides three promises that equip us for what He has called us to. Those promises are the focus of this message.
This message is from Acts 17. What did a Christian witness look like in the 1st Century? And, what might it look like in the 21st Century? Is a Christian witness still able to meet the challenges of our culture? Acts 17 sets the stage for us to see how a Christian witness provides answers to some current cultural philosophies.
The message is from Acts 13:1-12. After the Lord called Barnabas and Saul to missions, they acted upon that call. It wasn’t easy. In fact, they were met with opposition right off the bat. Yet, through their obedience God fulfilled His good purposes. When given an opportunity from the Lord, are you willing to go forward with it…even if it’s hard?
