Pastor Nate brings the message, "Increasing and Abounding in Love” from 1 Thessalonians 3:6-13. What role does your love for others play in your standing before God? That's a question that Paul answers at the end of 1 Thessalonians 3. When we see love flowing through our lives God is establishing us in holiness.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Affliction, Meet Faith” from 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:5. Would it surprise you to hear that in God's wisdom He has so ordered our lives that we would come face to face with affliction? Paul says that we are "destined for this." But we are not left without hope. In our sermon, we will see how faith tethers us to God so that we can remain established in Him.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "A Word that Works” from 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16. When Paul defended his ministry in Thessalonica, he did so by pointing out the changes that happened in the lives of these new Christians. People were changed, not because of Paul's speaking skills, but because they received the Word of God in faith. As believers we can be thankful and confident that God has given His Word to be at work in our lives.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Character of a Gospel Witness” from 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12. One of the greatest blessings that God gives us is the privilege of sharing the Gospel with non-Christians. It's a joyful moment knowing that God is very specifically using that moment for His glory. As we long to practice evangelism more and more, Paul shows us four important lessons for being a Gospel Witness.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Life-Changing" Part 2 from 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10. In the opening chapter of 1 Thessalonians we are seeing the power of the Gospel in the lives of believers. Salvation does bring about change. And, as a church we want to be that change for the glory of God and for encouragement and witness to those around us.
The message is taken from Hebrews 9:23-28. Don't you love to see sin in society silenced? It seems to hardly ever happen (which is why we love to see it!). Well, at the end of Hebrews 9, we see that Jesus has dealt with sin in us. Sin has been silenced, put away, defeated...sin got the smack-down. Enjoy Jesus' work!
The message is taken from Hebrews 5:11-6:8. Every wise parent cautions his/her children about dangerous pitfalls in life. The author of Hebrews does the same for his audience by presenting the pitfall of spiritual immaturity. As any good parent, he also shares the truth that will avoid this disaster.
This message is taken from Colossians 1:15-20. In a culture where so many urgent matters press in on us, we need to be reminded of this staggering truth. This is why the Apostle sought to exalt in the most compelling way possible the majesty, the sovereignty, the glorious eternality of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Messiah, the Savior, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
The message is taken from Matthew 2:1-12. As Christmas draws near we need to ask ourselves the question, “Who is Jesus?” In our passage we’ll see that Jesus is King and explore the significance of that identity. But then we’ll see that His identity brings two very different responses and will leave us asking the question, “How will we respond to Him as King?”
The message is taken from Romans 3:21-26. Many people ask the following question when it comes to the justice of God: "How is God just when He wipes out whole groups of people in the Old Testament? How is He just when He floods the whole earth and leaves only 8 survivors? Or even pictures in the book of Revelation? Sheesh...seems harsh!" In our study on the justice of God we will see how He demonstrates justice in both punishing and forgiving sin.
