God's Word Changes Hearts - 2 Corinthians 4:1-6; Romans 10:1-17; Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 - PG

Using the LASSIE method from Everyone His Witness, we find that being a witness means we Listen, Ask, Seek, Share, Invite, and Encourage. As we look at what it means to be a witness in our world, we see that it happens in the context of relationships. Relationships built on communication. We've already heard about the listening, asking, and seeking parts, and now we hear about sharing: sharing what can change people's hearts - God's Word. We are called to be the beautiful feet that share the Wor...

The unknown made unknown - Acts 17:16-31 - Pastor Glenn - Everyone His Witness

Using the LASSIE method from Everyone His Witness, we find that being a witness means we Listen, Ask, Seek, Share, Invite, and Encourage. As we look at what it means to be a witness in our world, we see that it happens in the context of relationships. Relationships built on communication. We've already heard about the listening and asking parts, and now we hear about seeking: seeking points of connection. As we read from Acts 17, we see Paul connect to the people of Athens using the altar to the...

What is Truth? - John 18:28-38a - Everyone His Witness - Pastor Glenn

Using the LASSIE method from Everyone His Witness, we find that being a witness means we Listen, Ask, Seek, Share, Invite, and Encourage. As we look at what it means to be a witness in our world, we see that it happens in the context of relationships. Relationships built on communication. We've already heard about the listening part, and now we hear about asking: asking questions that encourage discussion. As we read the Gospel of John, we see a question asked of Jesus (by Pilate), that may very...

Everyone His Witness - Jesus Listens - Luke 2:40-52 - Pastor Glenn

Using the LASSIE method from Everyone His Witness, we find that being a witness means we Listen, Ask, Seek, Share, Invite, and Encourage. As we look at what it means to be a witness in our world, we have to go where witnessing begins and ends: with Jesus. As a 12-year-old boy Jesus, what did Jesus do? He listened. He sat and listened to the religious leaders in the temple, He asked questions, and answered some. And He grew is wisdom and stature with God and man.

God's Ways Are Different - Pastor Brad

Sometimes we value efficiency over people. It happens to all of us. Jesus values people and enjoys them. “He came eating and drinking. . .” In loving us, He showed us how to be a friend and love others.

What About Jesus? - John 21:20-25 - Pastor Glenn - Jesus by the Sea

John's Gospel concludes with him mentioning that if you took all the things that Jesus did that aren't recorded, and write them down, the world does not have enough room for all those books. We can speculate all day about what kinds of things those books would contain. What matters for us, though, is that what God's Word, His book, the Bible, does contain all we NEED to know about who Jesus is and what He's done for us.

Peter's Restoration - John 21:1-19 - Jesus by the Sea - Pastor Glenn

After His resurrection from the dead, and another fish miracle by the Sea, Jesus shares a meal with some disciples and has an important conversation with Peter. As we think about Peter’s denial of and his love for, Jesus, we’ll see what we can learn from this story and what it means for our own lives.

Feeding of the 4,000 - Jesus by the Sea - Matthew 15:29-39 - Pastor Glenn

What makes this miracle any different than the Feeding of the 5,000. We'll take a look at those differences and what it meant for the people who received the miracle, how Jesus had compassion on the crowd, and what it means for us today, and the compassion He has for us.

The Sower's Seeds - Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 - Pastor Glenn

The Parable of the Sower is more about the Sower's seeds and what happens after they land than it is about the actual Sower. The seed is the Word of God and in the four different seed fallings and their subsequent reactions, we can see how we, and the world around us, respond to the Word of God. In the Sower, we can learn something about sharing the Word of God with others.

Laughing at God - Mark 5:21-43 - Jesus by the Sea - Pastor Glenn

As we journey with Jesus by the Sea, a man by the name of Jairus asks Jesus to heal his daughter. On the way to the house, the little girl dies and when Jesus tells those gathered at the house that she is not dead, but asleep, they laugh at Him. This is not the first time someone has laughed at God, and maybe we have done it ourselves. But God's response to being laughed at/mocked might not be what we expect.

The Woman Who Touched Jesus - Mark 5:21-43 - Jesus by the Sea - Pastor Glenn

As we journey with Jesus by the Sea, He gets out of the boat and we see Him surrounded by a great crowd of people. Amidst the multitude, a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years reached out and touched Jesus' clothes and was healed. As we journey in our lives, do we recognize who Jesus is, do we see the power of what He has done for us, and do we come to dwell with Him, be in His presence, and do we look to Him for healing in all that we go through, or is He just another face in the crowd?...

“A Man Named Many” - Mark 5:1-20 - Jesus by the Sea - Pastor Brad

Jesus casts out thousands of demons from one man. What does that have to do with us? Often we feel conflicted or troubled or tormented from within or without. We might not see it as being possessed but quite often we are not happy with ourselves for lots of reasons. The reasons don’t matter. What matters is that if Jesus has the power over demons, then He can help us in torments and troubles and put us back in a ‘right frame of mind’.

Come, Follow Me - Mark 2:13-17 - Pastor Glenn

As we journey with Jesus by the Sea, we see Him call Levi (Matthew), the tax collector, to come and follow Him. He joins the other disciples and begins ministry with them and Jesus, we don't hear about the history of who they are and where they come from. Not that it doesn't matter, but what matters most is the mission of Christ, and what He has called them to.

The Calling of Peter - Luke 5 - Pastor Brad

Jesus wants all people to be saved. He calls Peter, an ordinary Charlie Brown-type businessman, from catching fish to catching people. If you’d ever wonder if God can use you, then listen to this story.

Is Life Fair? - Ecclesiastes 10:1-19 - Pastor Glenn - Book of Ecclesiastes

Ever find yourself saying "life's not fair"? When you look at the lives of others compared to your own, do you feel this way? Do you feel this way given the current state of things in our world? As we look at Ecclesiastes we see that sometimes life doesn't seem fair, especially for those who are wise compared to those who are foolish. Is this who God intends life to be for us? And if not, where and when do we see the fairness in our life?
