[02/05/2023 AM] Our Fitness Report (Mark 6:6b-12)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Series: The Gospel of Mark

 

When I was in the Marines, I went through a yearly fitness report. My platoon sergeant would sit down with me and go through an evaluation he made of my service the previous year. Then he would show me my score. Of course, God does not sit us down as a church and go over a checksheet to see how we are doing as a church. But there are places in Scripture where we can work through the text and self-evaluate to see how we are doing. Today’s sermon: Our Fitness Report. (Mark 6:6b-12)

[01/29/2023 PM] Rethinking Worldliness (1 Kings 11:3-4a)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Series: The Collapse of Solomon

The author of 1 Kings writes, sadly, that Solomon gave his heart to his wives. He loved them so much that he stopped loving the Lord with his whole heart. This allowed those pagan women to turn his heart away from God to idols. Tonight, we dig into the reason why Solomon was willing to give up his heart to these women.

[01/29/2023 AM] Believing in Jesus (Mark 6:1-6a)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Series: The Gospel of Mark

How do we know what we know? Philosophers call this epistemology. I believe in the existence of Indonesia, though I have not been there and do not know anyone from there. How do I know it exists? These types of questions plague Christianity. Unbelievers ask: “How do you know the Bible is God’s word?” “How do you know Jesus was the Son of God?” These kinds of questions not only challenge our faith, they force us to reaffirm the most important things about it. 

 

[01/22/2023 PM] The Danger of Ungodly Affections (1 Kings 11:2b)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Series: The Collapse of Solomon

 

Solomon, the wisest of men, still did a lot of foolish things. Marrying hundreds of women was one of them. God had specifically told him not to do it, and he did it anyway. Doesn’t that sound familiar? One of the reasons God did not want kings to have many wives (other than the obvious departure from His original intent for marriage) is that He knew the wives would turn the hearts of the kings against Him. Solomon was no different. Tonight’s sermon: The Danger of Ungodly Affections. (1 Kings 11:2b)

[01/22/2023 AM] Helpless Isn’t Hopeless (Mark 5:21-43)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Series: The Gospel of Mark

Feeling helpless is a common human emotion. It is easy for life to go spinning out of control and leave us feeling as if we have very few options. That feeling of helplessness often leads to feeling hopeless. As Christians, we are never hopeless. God’s word teaches us that we have an unlimited supply of grace. Life might be out of our control, but it is never out of His.

[01/15/2023 PM] Paul’s Missionary Work before the First Missionary Journey from Antioch

Speaker: Pastor Joseph Jo

While the Book of Acts highlights Paul’s three major missionary journeys and his deportation to Rome (Acts 13-28), it is important to understand that his missionary work began right after his conversion; it was many years before his first missionary journey started from Antioch in Acts 13. Tonight, we will study how Paul spent those years between his conversion and ministry in Antioch as the apostle to the Gentiles.
