God's Grace Seen Through Their Eyes
Today, we examine Paul's teaching about Works vs Grace in Romans chapter 4. Paul speaks of how people come to saving faith. Paul points to Abraham and to David and then finally to himself in an explanation of righteousness, acceptance and salvation. This is important as we will discover that in a religious system based on works, everything is based on the sinner to prove their goodness. Whereas, a…
Today, we examine the moment that sin entered the human race. We can notice the tactics used by the enemy of our souls. These tactics can be clearly seen, and because of that we can counter them. These three strategies are effective, so effective that the devil continues to use them. In this message we discover what they are and how to combat them.
Today, as we continue our study in the gospel according to Mark we come to the transfiguration of Jesus. We examine what this event means for us today. Understanding that Jesus is enough is at the heart of this message.
As humans we have the great privilege according to the Bible of being created in the image of God. That in and of itself is amazing enough, but we also have the promise of living for eternity if we except the free gift of God. Salvation and redemption add even more context for how blessed we are as followers of the Lord's. Today, we look at a great miracle and how its ramifications are still…
Today, Evangelist Jayme Montera brings a special message to our congregation. There are times where it is all to easy to get comfortable living for the Lord. Comfort brings a relaxation that can lead us to let down our guard. There are moments when God would like us to stay alert for we do not know when the Lord is coming for us. Jayme challenges us to be prepared and always have a fresh supply of…
One of the hardest teachings for us to hear from the Lord is about the subject of Hell. Not because we don't understand it, but rather we don't want to think about it. Jesus spoke more about Hell than any other writer. The most information about hell is found in the four gospels. So, what do we need to know about this place from the Lord's perspective?
Today, we examine the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:48, when He set the New Testament standard for how His followers should follow God. Jesus said, we are to, "...be perfect even as our heavenly father is perfect." Does God require perfection from us? How can we be perfect in an imperfect world? How do we reconcile what appears to be a contrary statement? Pastor Wade discusses these questions along…
Jesus spoke to a man who for 38 years had been waiting to be healed. The man was asked if he would like to be healed...but all he gave Jesus was excuses why he couldn't get to where he needed to go to be healed. Associate Youth Pastor Taylor Murphy asks the question, "Do You Want this?" How many excuses do you offer the Lord for why you cannot change, why you cannot be delivered out of terrible…
Today, we look at another hard teaching from the Lord taught. What is the Unpardonable Sin all about? Is there actually something that we can do that negates the grace and forgiveness of God? Let's visit this topic and weigh it by what we know about God's wonderful grace and forgiveness and our text found in Mark chapter 3 and verse 22.
Hard Sayings of Jesus--Lay their hand to the plow...
Jesus said, " No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62, NIV) Today, we look at Hard Sayings of Jesus, these are verses that seem to be misconstrued or wrongly interpreted, or do not mean what they seem to be. What does Jesus mean? Is this about Obedience? Is this about a false start or something else? We will answer these questions…
Today, we examine John 14:1-3, where we now face the subject of the Lord's coming. We examine the early church Father's and what they taught, to see if there is any credence to the idea that the Rapture of the Church is a recent teaching coming out of the United States in 1833 as some believe. This message was preached in October 17th 2021.
