For the Glory of God

Pastor Nate brings the message, "For the Glory of God” from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. What would you say is your purpose in life?  Do you realize that no matter where you are or what you've done, God still gives you purpose to carry out? In a passage that starts with correction concerning sexual immorality, Paul leads us to the important principle that Christ bought us so that we might live for the glory of God.

Be Who Christ Saved You to Be

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Be Who Christ Saved You to Be” from 1 Corinthians 6:1-11.  Are there ever any disputes between Christians?  Yep!  Disagreements happen.  But, God has a plan that does not include taking your brother to court.  Instead, be who Christ saved you to be: a selfless follower of Him who will humbly get help from those in the church to settle the problem.

Do What's Right, Not What's Easy

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Do What’s Right, Not What’s Easy” from 1 Corinthians 5.  In returning to our study of 1 Corinthians we come to chapter 5 where Paul instructs the church on how to respond to egregious sin from one of its members.  The removal of a church member due to sin is never easy or convenient, but it is necessary in order to pursue purity in the church.

Kissing Jesus

Tom Siefert brings the message, "Kissing Jesus” from Matthew 26:47-49.  The Communion service is intended to be a hallowed moment in our spiritual lives.  It is the way Jesus told us to remember him during his absence from the earth.  Yet it is more than just a ritual we follow once a month, it is an opportunity for us to express our love back to him for all he has done for us.

Grace for the Humble

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Grace for the Humble” from James 4:1-10. The end of a year often gives us time to reflect.  What did you see God doing in your heart this past year?  In what way is He growing you?  What are you praying for concerning the year ahead?  An absolute necessity for God to continue His work of growth and sanctification in our lives is humility.  Good thing He gives grace.  Our year end message will focus on the Biblical path toward humility.

Isaiah
Jesus is Coming - Part 2

As we look towards Christmas we welcome the hope and peace that only Jesus can bring into our hearts.  More than that, we read in Isaiah 9 that His peace will be an eternal reality on the new earth.  That's a promise that will carry us through the week.

Genesis
Jesus is Coming - Part 1

As we move into December, the anticipation of Jesus' arrival wells up within us.  The earliest promise of Jesus' coming is found in Genesis 3:15.  It covers God's sovereign grace, the conflict of sin, and the ultimate victory in which Satan and evil are ultimeately defeated through our Lord an Savior.

Thanksgiving...For the Church

The message comes from 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3.  One of the kindest gifts that God has given us is the local church family.  He has blessed us with spiritual brothers and sisters who, although not perfect, genuinely care and love us for who we are in Christ.  May our hearts be thankful to God for what He has given us.

The Weightiness of Prayer

Ephesians
The Weightiness of Prayer

As Christians, there are many things we find difficult to do. One of those is to pray. Prayer is easily pushed aside because of busy schedules, the results we want don't come, and we simply don't see a need for it. In Ephesians 6:10-18 Paul shows us the weightiness of prayer.

Exodus
A Visit from the Father-in-Law

On the surface of Exodus 18 we see a visit from the ol' father-in-law.  More importantly, there are two essential practices that we need to aim for as Christians/a church that desires to worship God.

Exodus
Water, Bread, and War

A message from Exodus 15-17, "Water, Bread, and War."  Right after God gives His people an amazing victory over Pharaoh they lapse in their faith with grumbling and complaining.  However, God provides everything they (and we) need.

God Makes Himself Known

Wondering how the fires of worship are going to take off in your heart?  We'll be answering that question as we study a rather large section of Scripture (Exodus 7-15) in which God deliberately and mercifully makes Himself known.

After Darkness, Light

The sermon title is, "After Darkness, Light" from Romans 1:16-17.  This week we celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.  Who was this man who started it all and why does it even matter to us today?

Exodus
Discouraged?  God Will...

In Exodus 5-6, Moses has surrendered his will to God and is stepping out in faith.  All is good now, life falls into place, and Pharaoh becomes a friend, right?  Not quite.  Opposition rises up and discouragement sets in.  How does God help the discouraged?

Stop Making Excuses

In Exodus 3-4, we see that as God sees His people suffering in Egypt, He raises up an imperfect, excuse-laden fugitive named Moses.  The wonderful news of the Gospel is that no matter what the circumstances of life may be, God not only calls but also enables us to obey Him in ways we never imagined.

God Keeps His Promises

This message is the beginning of a new series in Exodus.  From Exodus 1-2 we learn that it's a blessing to know that even in the midst of chaos and struggle, God keeps His covenant promises.

The Purpose of the Church

Our last sermon on the church, from Ephesians 1:11-14, is going to answer the question, "What is the Biblical purpose of the church?"  We also intend to see how the answer applies to our lives.

Correction: A Responsibility of the Local Church

We happily remember the times our dads kindly showed us a better way to hold a bat, tie a tie, turn a wrench, or how to read a book.  We needed correction and they gently helped us.  In our walk with God we need correction as well, and we'll look at Galatians 6:1-2 to see how the local church ought to be doing it.

The Perfect Body

For the month of September we will be studying passages about the local church.  This week we will see, from 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, that God has arranged believers for the purpose of "togetherness."  And it doesn't always happen through formal ministry programs.

We learn from the Bible that angels sing and people sing, but did you know God sings?  This week we will learn that God expresses how He feels about us through joyful song.
