God loves to talk to His children. Too often, we've made our lives so busy that we don't hear or we don't recognize His voice. Glynn Brockway brings this Sunday's message, which gives us insight into hearing the voice of God.
The Holy Spirit is one person in our triune God, along with God the Father and God the Son, Jesus. He was there at creation. Genesis 1:2 tells us, "and the Spirit of God hovered over the waters of the deep. Too many have relegated the Holy Spirit to the collective spirit of God, not a person of the Godhead. That's unfortunate because the Holy Spirit is the power behind the New Testament that Jesus began.
We continue our series, "Abide in Him," with the message, "Find Peace with God." When all is said and done, peace with God is the most outstanding achievement we can reach in life. We came from God, and one day, after we live all our days, we will face Him again. Will we look forward to seeing Him face to face, or will we cower in fear and guilt? In this message, we explore how to have peace with God.
With this message, we begin a series, "Abide in Me". Today's message is Find Strength in Jesus. it addresses our need to stay connected to the vine, Jesus Christ.
Tithing is a biblical concept that is much debated and usually dismissed. Why? Because we don't want to let go of our money, but we also want to be justified in everyone's eyes when we don't tithe. In today's message, we look at three justifications for the tithe. Is there a valid, biblical reason for it? Listen, and learn!
The greatest privilege of being a Christian is the privilege of prayer. The definition of privilege is "a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group." Salvation is the greatest gift we can receive, but it is not earned or deserved. It is given entirely through the grace of God. However, once we are a Christian, once we are part of that special group, we are afforded the privilege of prayer. Prayer is the privilege of having a personal, one-on-one conversation with God, meaning there is no mediator or interpreter. Prayer is vital to our relationship with God; that being the case, we should make sure we have the correct understanding about prayer.
Becoming a Christian is a matter of faith and one's heart. It cannot be seen or proven by another human. God, of course, sees the heart and knows who is His. We should, however, be able to see evidence of someone becoming a Christian. This message shows from scripture some of the changes we should see in ourselves and others. Primary sermon scripture is Galatians 5:13-26.
This message builds on the previous message, "Knowing Christ." In this message, "How Can I Know?" we look at asking ourselves questions about our faith, such as "Do I believe in God?" Do I believe in Jesus? Do I believe Jesus died for my sins? The sermon text for the message is 1 John 5:1-13. Listen as we explore this vital topic and learn just how we can know. The final message in the series is "Evidence That I'm a Christian."
In today's sermon, we explore how God works to bring us into the fold and how we should respond to His bidding. Watch and listen as Pastor Wes shares about our human makeup and how we need to respond to God.
For over ten years, Glynn Brockway has endured multiple myeloma. The journey continues. He has been through several treatment plans to help his body cope with the illness. In this message, he shares that journey and how God has provided, sometimes in miraculous ways, for him and his family. He answers the question, What Does God Want Me to Do?" Listen, and let Glynn's message encourage you as you face your unique challenge.
In Matthew 4:18-20, Jesus bid His disciples to follow Him. In so doing, they would become fishers of men. He was talking to men who were professional fishermen. There are skills from fishing for fish that translate well to becoming fishers of men. Today, a church member who is an avid fisherman and I talk about how to fish and how that relates to sharing the gospel.
Life is filled with difficult choices and requirements. How do we find our way through them? Today, we compare the Israelite's actions against our own when difficult decisions must be made.
God promises His blessings when we believe in Jesus Christ and obey His word. One of those blessings is prayer. As a Christian, we have the Privilege to go to God in prayer, we can tap into the Power of prayer, and we receive the Promises of prayer, but only when we believe and obey.
Today, we pause to give God thanks for our great country. We were founded to be a nation under the leadership of God. We were established as one nation under God, but we're drifting away from God. What is God's response to our disobedience...watch and learn.
The Bible is God's Word to all people. It should be studied and applied to one's life. In this message, we are encouraged to read God's word, believe in faith, and apply the teachings to our lives.
God created man male and female with different characteristics that complement each other to produce the best family life and the best upbringing for a child. God gave man specific attributes to equip him to protect and provide for his family. God also has expectations for the man of God in His service to God. We look at these attributes today in our search to define "The Man of God."
One of the most visible and most important aspects of the church is the worship. Worship of God is very important to Him. The first few commandments deal with worshiping God and God alone. Jesus gave worshiping God as the first and greatest commandment. True uplifting worship helps us to cope, and it picks up our spirits. We must understand what worship is and is not. Watch and contemplate on this subject in the sermon today.
We have a commission to take the gospel to all people. To do that effectively we have to "speak their language" as each culture has their own interests, even those of our same nationality, Our speaker does a great job of explaining how we need to do this.
A church essential is fellowship. The Greek word is Kononia. a healthy fellowshio comprises three parts; Intentionality, Unity, and Mission. Watch and listen as explore these vital components.
