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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This message is taken from Ephesians 6:10-18. Satan is full of nasty deception, using countless schemes of attack in spiritual warfare. He’s going after the jugular vein of our faith in Christ. In this passage we learn how to stand firm and how to fight back in battle with the victory-giving armor God provides.
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.
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.
Pastor Nate and Jim Murphy, recently returned from a visit to Phil Hunt (Zambia) and Doug Frye (Portugal), recap their visit, ministry, and impressions of God’s work through Lakeshore Baptist’s missionaries.
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.
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?
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.
