In this first week of Advent, we focus on Hope. In the context of Hope, we will also look at commitment, and covenant, and promise and see how they have been realized for us in Christ, and how they are connected to other relationships.
God give us prophecies concerning the last times not to scare us but to warn us that there will be things that come that will challenge our faith. There will be a rebellion against God’s law. God has given us the truth so we can stand firm and faithful.
It really matters what you believe, what you put your faith in. The Bible articulates very clearly who Jesus is and what He has done. Thank You God for the words. Yet, we also thank God for the person of Jesus Christ, Himself.
We keep our heads up, eyes focused on the cross, and in this we can see the redemption Christ won for us.
As Martin Luther did 500 years ago, we stand on the Word of God that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone.
All Saints' Day reminds us of those who have gone before us in the faith. All Saints' Day also reminds us that we who believe in Christ are also counted as saints.
Jesus teaches us not to give up when we pray, but be persistent and patient. God talks to us in His Word. We talk to God in prayer. Let’s review a little bit about what our conversation with our Heavenly Father looks like and does.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, we can be thankful for the kinsman redeemer that came into Ruth's life, which ultimately led to Christ our Redeemer coming into ours.
As you read the Parable of the Lost Sheep, do you see yourself as the shepherd, the lost sheep, or the 99 sheep who are not lost?
A brief recap on the National Youth Gathering Sunday, as we spoke with those who were in attendance about what they learned.
God is at work in the world preparing people’s hearts to believe in Him and His Son Jesus Christ for the salvation of their souls. They just need someone who knows and loves Jesus to come an speak to them about His love. Who will that be? This is the mission of the Church.
Jesus uses this parable to teach us to use our wealth wisely. One way to do that is by being generous to, and making friends with, those in need especially those who do not yet believe, in the hope that we will see them in heaven.
Salvation is something God does for you. Discipleship is something you do with God. Salvation occurs in a moment. Discipleship takes a lifetime. Our relationship with Jesus is in a category above all other relationships. No matter how difficult following Jesus may get, do not quit. He will see us through to the end.
What are your biggest fears in life? What are you most afraid of? And is it possible for us to be set free from fear?
Life is hard. The struggle is real. It's a good thing we have God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who make it all better.
Sometimes when people get really passionate about something there is usually conflict not far behind. Jesus speaks passionately and urgently about His mission and warns His followers that as they too share that passion and urgency they will experience opposition. How do we maintain a passion and urgency for the Gospel?
What do you do and where do you go in time of worry, fear, anxiety, and doubt?
The things we put our time, effort, and even money into, are the things that we treasure the most, but can also be the things that become our master. Who is your master?
“The Shameless Neighbour” Luke 11:5-8 - Pastor Brad
Jesus calls us to unequivocally follow Him. But some things get in the way. Oddly enough, sometimes its something in the past. We can’t plow a straight line forward if we are constantly looking back. Why on earth would we look back when we have such a glorious future? This is part III of our study of Luke 9:51-62
The Parable of the Good Samaritan is a story that we can easily learn the lesson that we should be like the Good Samaritan. Is that the only thing that we can learn, or is there something even great that we can learn, not about ourselves, but about God and who He is and what He's done for us. - Pastor Glenn
In Luke 9:51-62 Jesus challenges us to put Him before our tribe, our comfort, our security, and our past. In this episode we’ll deal with security. This is Part 2 of 3.
In Luke 9:51-62 Jesus challenges us to put Him before our tribe, our comfort, our security, and our past. Can we? We’ll deal with tribe and comfort in this episode. This is part 1 of 3. - Pastor Brad
In the Gospel of Luke, two men give Jesus excuses as to why they cannot follow Him immediately. Do we give Jesus the same kinds of excuses, and can we even follow Him on our own? - Pastor Glenn
If Jesus can save a man possessed by many many demons and use him, He can certainly use us. The fascinating story of the healing of the demon possessed man in Luke 8:26-39 - Pastor Brad
We take a look at who God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, has called us to be, specifically the men, as we celebrate Father's Day. - Pastor Glenn
The people of Babel wanted to make a name for themselves and you might know how that turned out. At Pentecost the people proclaim the name that is above every other name. - Pastor Glenn
When we read about heaven at the end of the Bible, we see that God spared no expense. Its fabulous! Typical of a God who gave His one and only Son to suffer and die for us. - Pastor Brad
We all long for a better day and the Bible says its coming. We can’t fix the world’s problems, but God can and He will. - Pastor Brad
How do we get from here to heaven? God has His Word preached to us which creates and sustains faith in us. - Pastor Brad
