Protecting Unity with the Lord's Supper - Part 1

Pastor Nate brings the message, “Protecting Unity with the Lord’s Supper” - Part 1, from 1 Corinthians 11:17-22.  We are returning back to chapter 11 for the next two weeks and studying the unity of the local church around the Lord's Table.  The problem was that the Corinthians were so wrongfully divided that their practice of the Lord's Supper was actually invalidated.  There are crucial lessons to learn and practices to apply within this important passage so that our church reflects Biblical, God-honoring unity.

The Importance of Love

Pastor Stephen brings the message, "The Importance of Love" from 1 Corinthians 12:28-13:1-8a.  Scripture is filled with many beautiful passages that seem to be made for coffee mugs and decorative posters, and 1 Corinthians 13 could certainly fit into that category. But within this wonderful passage about love is also a difficult call - to live a life that models that beauty consistently in the world around us. So on Sunday, we'll not only talk about the beauty of biblical love, but also about the high calling this love places on our lives.

Grow Where You Are

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Grow Where You Are” from 1 Corinthians 7:17-24. Is it a challenge to be content with your lot in life?  It is easy to glance side to side, see the prizes that God has given to others, and wish we could have what they have.  In this section of chapter 7, God calls us to realize that we ultimately have the greatest of gifts already so that we can thrive wherever He has placed us.

Single, Married, Divorced...To the Glory of God

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Single, Married, Divorced…To the Glory of God” from 1 Corinthians 7:8-16.  It's amazing how sufficient the Word of God is concerning each area of life.  As we continue in our study of 1 Corinthians 7, Paul shows us how to live for the glory of God no matter what relationship status we find ourselves in.

The Bible, Sex, and Marriage

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Bible, Sex, and Marriage” from 1 Corinthians 7:1-7. We know that sin has effected everything in creation, including marriage.  But, God has graciously and wisely given us His Word which is sufficient for life and godliness.

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.

In this passage of Ephesians, we see another practice of Godliness: being gracious. When you gaze a the Gospel you can’t help but see God’s grace to each one of us.
