Obadiah - Does God Have Enemies?

November 17, 2024 - 06:42 PM Sermon SeriesMinor Prophets


Today, we act like everyone is going to heaven. We talk about God's love, but what about God's anger? Does God have enemies where he is committed to their destruction? If he does, what does it take for God to be committed to saving us, not destroying us?

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 - What Do Pastors Need From Their People?

October 27, 2024 - 05:59 PM Sermon Series2 Thessalonians


People have a demanding list of qualities they want in a pastor. He needs to be funny, engaging, hip, and cool. But what does the Bible say people should expect from a pastor? Even more important, what should a pastor expect from his people? Join us as we look at the support every pastor needs from his people to lead an effective church.

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 - Comfort For The Brokenhearted

October 20, 2024 - 05:10 PM Sermon Series2 Thessalonians


What does the Bible say about Christians and sin? Is it possible for a Christian to fall out of grace? Can a significant sin send a Christian to hell after they believe? Does persistent sin nullify the grace of God? Join us as we find the answer.

2 Thessalonians 2:6-12 - The Slaying Of Satan's Superman - Part 2

October 13, 2024 - 06:48 PM Sermon Series2 Thessalonians


How bad will the world get before Jesus returns? What events will take place? When we hear of predictions about Jesus’ return, how do we know if they are true? As we continue our study about the Antichrist, Paul gives us the details we need to be prepared for Jesus’ return and how to avoid being deceived as that day gets closer.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-5 - The Slaying Of Satan's Superman - Part 1

October 06, 2024 - 07:01 PM Sermon Series2 Thessalonians


In my freshman year of college, I met a great friend. Later that year, he would join me on the college wrestling team. He was a great guy who loved Jesus. One thing that was different about him is that after reading a book on end-times prophecy, he was convinced Jesus would return within the year. At Christmas, he left college to give the few short months before Jesus’ return to sharing the good news of Jesus with those who needed to hear. When I was a junior, he returned to college as a disillusioned Christian. When will Jesus return? What things need to take place before Jesus returns? In this study, we look at some of the hardest verses in Paul’s writings about the time of Jesus’ return.

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 - How Should We Pray For Those We Love?

September 29, 2024 - 05:58 PM Sermon Series2 Thessalonians


During World War II, the United States used remote islands in the South Pacific as part of their supply routes. The natives on the islands, who had never experienced modern civilization, were fascinated with the lighters that could instantly make fire, jeeps that could drive, and heavy equipment that could push down trees. When World War II ended, the Americans and their stuff disappeared as fast as it came. Since the Americans and their stuff came from the sky, many natives assumed they were gods and began worshipping them when they left. They prayed that the gods would return from the sky and bring them more stuff. While we find this amusing, that is the way many of us pray. We ask God to bring us more stuff. In 2 Thessalonians, we see how Paul prayed for the Thessalonians and what are the right things to ask God for.

2 Thessalonians 1:6-10 - The Just Judgement Of God

September 15, 2024 - 07:13 PM Sermon Series2 Thessalonians


In 2003, Governor George Ryan set free 160 inmates on death row. Among the criminals he set free was a couple who murdered a pregnant woman, killed her two children, and cut the baby out of her womb. His personal opposition to the death penalty and unilateral decision to abuse his power and set horrifying criminals on death row free left victims’ families outraged that there was no justice for their loved ones. As we continue our study in 2 Thessalonians, we find that this won’t happen with Jesus and that he will carry out just judgment when he returns.

2 Thessalonians 1:1-5 - What Kind Of Church Did Paul Boast About?

September 08, 2024 - 04:33 PM Sermon Series2 Thessalonians


Where are the biggest church buildings in the world located? They are not in America but in Nigeria. The Hand of God Cathedral is under construction. It will hold 120,000 people. The second-largest church building in the world is also under construction in Nigeria. It is known as the Ark and will hold 109,000. The third-largest church building in the world is completed. It is known as the Glory Dome and holds 100,000. You guessed it. It is also in Nigeria. Joel Ostein’s massive Lakewood church is the thirteenth largest church building in the world holding a mere 16,000. Are these the kind of churches that impressed the apostle Paul? Not according to 2 Thessalonians. Join us as we see the kind of church Paul boasted about and how we can become one.

Proverbs - Wisdom For Working With People

August 25, 2024 - 05:27 PM Sermon SeriesProverbs


We live in a conflict-saturated world. Nations are at war. Crime decimates our cities. The evening news features the ugly battle for the next election. While many lean into conflict, others seem to avoid most of it. How do they do that? When ancient Hebrews prepared their sons for leadership positions, they had them study the book of Proverbs to teach them how to work with people skillfully. In this study, we will learn what Proverbs teaches us about how to avoid conflict and successfully work with those different from us.

Proverbs - Wisdom For Work

August 04, 2024 - 05:24 PM Sermon SeriesProverbs


Outside of sleeping, we spend most of our lives working. Work gives us an identity and a purpose. God created us to work, but one of the ways sin influences our lives is by inducing us to be lazy instead of productive. Join us as we look at how laziness shows up in our lives and the payoff for diligence.

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 - The Power Of A Quiet Life

April 21, 2024 - 10:39 PM Sermon Series1 Thessalonians


Harold Camping of Family Radio predicted that Christ’s return and the world’s end would occur in May 2011. In no surprise, he was wrong. In his enthusiasm for Christ’s return, he provoked people into selling their property, giving him millions of dollars, and making other foolish decisions. In spite of putting up over 5,000 billboards, his preoccupation with Christ’s return did more harm for the cause of Christ than good. How should we prepare for Christ’s return? If Jesus was to return in the next 5 years, what should we do today? In this study, we find the answer.

1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 - A Story of Sadness Or Gladness

March 17, 2024 - 08:04 PM Sermon Series1 Thessalonians


Have you squandered an opportunity? Have you seen someone so close to a good thing but miss it through a foolish decision? As we continue in 1 Thessalonians, Paul contrasts the Thessalonians and the Jews. One makes him glad as they embrace the gospel with limited opportunity, the other makes him sad as they reject it after countless chances to embrace it. Join us as we learn how to choose wisely with the gospel.

1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 - How Can I Be A Good Spiritual Leader

March 10, 2024 - 06:33 PM Sermon Series1 Thessalonians


Today, most men are encouraged to be couch potatoes rather than bold leaders. There are plenty of manipulators, scammers, and those who lack character in positions of power.

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 - How Do I Recognize Genuine Faith?

March 03, 2024 - 08:20 PM Sermon Series1 Thessalonians


Artificial Intelligence makes it harder to distinguish between a deep fake and reality. It generates lifelike videos, where only experts can tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Deep fakes are nothing new when it comes to the Christian faith. Many claim to be saved by Christ but, over time, walk away from Him. How can we tell the difference between genuine faith and fake faith? Join us to learn the difference.

How do we handle the wounds of life? The world tells us to get even. Recently, a man in Colorado shot a dog to death because days earlier, it was in a fight with his dog, so he plotted revenge.

In this study, we look at what the Bible says about the aroma of forgiveness from the life of a Christian introduces people to Jesus.

Acts 17:1-10 - When God Plants A Church

February 18, 2024 - 08:08 PM Sermon Series1 Thessalonians


When life is difficult, it is easy to become discouraged. We long for easier days. As Christians, when society is against us, it is tempting to think our relationship with Jesus will fade and the church will wilt. As we begin the book of 1 Thessalonians, we find the opposite is true. 1 Thessalonians is the story of healthy Christians and a thriving church in a city hostile to the gospel. Join us as we learn that God does some of his best work in us and through us when the world is against us.

2 Samuel 23 - Successful Leaders And Their Team

January 28, 2024 - 05:34 PM Sermon Series2 Samuel


Zvika Greengold was celebrating Yom Kippur at his Israeli kibbutz when he heard the sound of a jet fighter. Realizing there would be no military exercises on a religious holiday, he turned on his radio and learned that Egypt and Syria sprung a surprise attack on Israel. It was October 6, 1973. As a reserve tank commander, Zvika ran to his tank and drove it to the Golan Heights. Force Zvika singlehandedly held back two thousand advancing Syrian tanks, giving the Israeli military enough time to mobilize. After 30 hours of fighting, Zvika emerged from his tank, burned, wounded, and too exhausted to walk after destroying forty tanks and thwarting five Syrian divisions. His sacrifice and courage saved the country. As we continue studying 2 Samuel, we meet the mighty men God put around David. We will learn of their heroic deeds and how God used them to save David and the kingdom. When God raises up a leader, thankfully, he also raises up a team.

2 Samuel 22 - Speaking Of God's Goodness

January 21, 2024 - 08:04 PM Sermon Series2 Samuel


Have you listened to a worship song and found your heart resonating with the song’s words about the goodness of God? Many of us know that experience. As the author of 2 Samuel prepared to draw his book to a close, he shared one of David’s final songs. It is a song where David looks back on his life and worships God for all the goodness shown to him. In the song, he answers the question, “What can we do to put ourselves in a position where we experience the abundant goodness of God?”

2 Samuel 19:40-20:26 - The Corrupted Kingdom

January 07, 2024 - 06:32 PM Sermon Series2 Samuel


Every election season politicians make promises. The promise to lower the debt, solve immigration, and reduce taxes while raising our benefits. What should we expect from our flawed leaders? As David's kingdom is restored after Absalom's coupe, we see the limits of human leaders and why Jesus is the better king we need.
