Joshua

God's Gifts for the Journey

Pastor Nate brings the message "God’s Gifts for the Journey” from Joshua 1.  This message begins a seven part series through the book of Joshua which is a testimony that God is Faithful to His promises.  For Israel the journey into the land is one that seems overwhelming, even impossible, but God has given them His Word and His Presence. God's gifts enable His people to endure.

God's Authority in the Face of Death

Pastor Stephen brings the message, "God's Authority in the Face of Death."  While there are many stories of Christian heroes who have suffered much for the Faith, many of us wouldn't want to voluntarily sign up for a path like theirs. But what happens when God brings unrequested loss into our lives? How do we think about His power, plans, or authority to act when approaching these difficult seasons? In this message we'll see from Ezekiel 24:15-27 how God uses the grief He's placed in our paths to glorify Him and to serve His grand purposes.

Forgiveness from the Heart

Pastor Nate brings the message "Forgiveness from the Heart” from Matthew 18:21-35.  It’s impossible to live in this world without relational hurt and pain.  The question is this, how do Christians look to Jesus for help when someone sins against you?  This message shows how Jesus explains the important, life-giving practice of forgiveness.

A Perplexing Resurrection

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.

The King Who Wept

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.

Standing in His Strength - Part 1

The message is taken from Ephesians 6:10-13. Knowing that we are in a spiritual battle, Paul concludes Ephesians with the grand finale of helping Christians stand in God’s strength, not their own.

Everyday Work for God - Part 2

The message is, "Everyday Work for God” - Part 2 from Ephesians 6:5-9.  Each Christian is called to render his/her service to the Lord (Ephesians 6:7), meaning that whatever task God has given to you today is to be done unto the Lord.  We’ll look at how everyday work is meaningful to and encouraged by God.

Everyday Work for God - Part 1

This message is taken from Ephesians 6:5-9. Experiencing discontentment with your day-to-day work? Wondering if there is anything significant to the thousands of hours you spend in a lifetime on your daily tasks? Is God using this for a lasting purpose? Why should I even work? We will be answering these question in this two part series on work.

When Surprised, Still Obey God

This message is taken from Matthew 1:18-25. With Christmas right around the corner, we want to focus on the coming of Jesus. Joseph was shocked with a pregnancy he had nothing to do with, yet obediently followed God’s bigger plan to save His people (that’s you and me!) from their sin.

Wayne's World

The message is taken from Romans 15:14-19. As we celebrate the ministry of Pastor Wayne, let’s ask the question - what is the pastor’s job? While many answers are often given to this question, Paul gives the one that is most important and the one Pastor Wayne has pursued with his life.

God has a clear plan for life at home. Both children and fathers are addressed in Ephesians 6:1-4 and what the Bible says to both is worth heeding.

Marriage - Part 2; Husband: Love Your Wife

This message is taken from Ephesians 5:25-33. When it comes to the way they relate to their wives, husbands tend to fall into three categories: resentment, respect, or love. Husband, God has given you a clear path to follow in regards to your marriage: love your wife as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

You Are Light!

The message is taken from Ephesians 5:7-14. Where would you be today if the light of Christ had not shined on your heart and life? Christ is still shining His light through believers into darkness, and it is our prayer that we would see darkness around us become light! Are we faithfully reflecting His light?

Do Not Be Deceived About Sexual Sin

The message is taken from Ephesians 5:1-7. If you were given a chance to exhort Christians (or even the world) concerning the seriousness of sexual immorality, what argument would you give? In this message we see Paul making the most succinct statements; and, they are weighty, attention-getting, and definitely helpful.
