Pastor Nate brings the message, "The God Who Sanctifies, Keeps, and Calls” from 1 Thessalonians 5:23-28. In this last section of 1 Thessalonians, Paul gives strong, absolute assurance that God will see His children all the way home! Our eternal security rests in His faithfulness.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "God-Honoring Relationships” -Part 2 from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22. Jesus is coming back someday, and it is our privileged task to be ready to meet Him when He returns. In our second-to-last sermon in 1 Thessalonians, we will see how the Bible guides us into an honorable relationship with God that prepares us to meet Him.
Our Men’s BUILD Conference speaker, Matt Emadi, brings the message, “The Meaning, Message, and Motive for Evangelism” from Romans 1:1-6.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "God-Honoring Relationships” from 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15. Relationships can be hard. Yet, they are rewarding when we follow God's word. In our study this week we will look at God's plan for 2 unique relationships in the church: 1) the relationship between pastors and congregation; and, 2) the relationship between members and... members.
Sunday Morning...Pastor Nate brings the message, "Great Expectation" from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. Christians live with the expectation that God will complete both a final judgment for those who oppose Him and a final salvation for those who believe in Him. This event will be the ultimate Day of the Lord. In light of that day, live with both anticipation and encouragement that God will save His people through it.
"Jesus Tasted Death for Everyone" from Hebrews 2:5-9. In each section of Hebrews, the author gives us a different perspective of Jesus' greatness. Up to this point in our study the focus has been on Jesus' deity, but this week we begin to look at the implication of his humanity, the side of him that we can really relate to.
This message is from Hebrews 2:1-4. There are warning signs on the highways that guide you toward safety and away from catastrophe. There are also warning signs from God that guide us as Christians. We will study the first warning in Hebrews 2 and see how it points us forward to our final destination.
This message is from Romans 8:26-30. The Apostle Paul addressed the despair of living in a fallen world under the curse of sin, then offered two glorious encouragements that every believer should wrap himself in a protective cloak: the Spirit of God carries our burdens to the throne room of God, and God is working good in our lives continually. Expect to be inspired and uplifted by this message.
The message title is "Assurance - Part 3: The Spirit of Adoption" from Romans 8:12-17. The Spirit of God has the unique ministry of indwelling Christians and affirming our relationship to God as our heavenly Father. The privilege of assurance in these moments is once again based on what God has done, not on what we do.
This message is from Romans 8:5-13. In this next section of Romans 8, Paul describes the effectual work of the Spirit versus the work of the flesh. We absolutely need the Spirit because those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But if we have the Spirit, we can put sin to death and experience union with Christ.
This message is from Matthew 8:23-27. The same Jesus who stilled the storm on Galilee…who demonstrated that he has complete control over the powers of nature, is the Jesus who never leaves us or forsakes us. He is always in the back of our boat, always ready to intervene when we cry out to the God of heaven for help.
This message is from Philemon 8-25. Conflict is a real part of life. Because of sin, there will always be need for reconciliation in our marriages, in our families, and in our church. In Part 2 we’ll consider the conflict between Onesimus and Philemon and seek to answer the question, “How does the gospel lead to reconciliation?”
This message is from Philemon 1-25. In Paul’s New Testament letters we read about the gospel; he defines it, explains it, and applies it. However, in the letter to Philemon he doesn’t do any of that. Instead he shows us how the gospel is lived. In particular, he shows us how the gospel is lived out in relationships with others and especially in situations of conflict.
This message is from Leviticus 16. The mountain peak to the book of Leviticus is chapter 16 which outlines the day of atonement. Aaron sacrifices a goat and sends another out into the wilderness to symbolically carry away the sins of the people. As we follow the Biblical trail of sacrifice we arrive at Hebrews 9-10 where we see the better, once-and-for-all sacrifice given to us from God.
This message is from Leviticus 11-15. Why did God institute certain rules about food and bodily cleaning for the Jews? What’s the point of eating animals that split the hoof and chew the cud, examining leprosy with a priest, and dealing with discharges in Leviticus? It all points back to the holiness of God. We’ll once again get the big picture idea and see how it applies to us who are in the New Covenant.
This message is from Leviticus 8-10. As the book of Leviticus unfolds, the worshiper realizes that God must be “sanctified (set apart) and glorified” in every area of life. We could say it this way: “All of who I am, from head to toe, is to be given over to the Lord.” That is more easily said than done. Thankfully, there is a Man who has been perfect for us.
