[11/21/2021 PM] Are you Giving Thanks to God in Every Circumstance? (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Speaker: Pastor Joseph Jo

 

One of the things we have learned from the How to Study the Bible Effectively Series is the importance of context. Tonight, as preparation for Thanksgiving, we will look at a very short phrase, “In everything give thanks,” in its historical, literary, and theological contexts to understand the theological depth and practicality of this short command.

Three Reasons We Must Worship God (Psalm 103)

The first commandment is important. God said: “You cannot have any other gods before Me.” This command is the foundation for everything we are as believers. We trust in Christ because we believe that He is God and we worship Him and no one else. The horrible sin of idolatry is replacing God with another god, worshipping something other than Him. Today’s sermon examines a call to worship in the Psalms.

Nothing But the Blood (Genesis 3)

Speaker: David Mayes

Scripture: Genesis 3

God told Adam that he would die if he ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:17). But Adam did eat from it, and he immediately died spiritually, and then later physically. And by this "one man, sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." (Romans 5:12) "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One (Jesus) shall many be made righteous." (Romans 5:19) But not without blood. NOTHING but the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins. Have you been washed? 

[11/7/2021 PM] Who Killed Goliath? (1 Chronicles 20:1-8)

Speaker: Pastor Mattew Walker

Series: How to Study the Bible Effectively

We will take a short detour in our series on How to Study the Bible by looking at an interesting passage from the Old Testament about some of the military victories of David. While it might appear to be a mundane passage of Scripture, this text actually answers a seeming contradiction that many are unaware even exists. Tonight’s sermon: Who Killed Goliath? (1 Chronicles 20:1-8)

[11/07/2021 AM] How to Prosper (Psalm 1)

Speaker: Matthew Walker

Scripture: Psalm 1

Prosperity is something for which most of the world is searching. Some try to find it through get-rich-quick schemes. Others look to education or hard work as the answer. God has a method for prosperity, but it requires a radically different approach than these. God’s method is simple. He tells us that the prosperous man is one who submits to God’s rule over his life. There really is no other way. 

[10/31/2021 PM] Determining to Study the Bible Through a Translation. (2 Timothy 2:15)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Series: How to Study the Bible Effectively

 

God’s word is a beautiful, wonderful book full of principles and precepts for us to follow. How unfortunate it is that we do not have the original autographs (the actual first books that were written)! But what we do have, translations of those original writings, provide us everything we need to see the revelation of God in the pages. Tonight’s sermon builds on this idea of translation by encouraging us to use the translations we have.

[10/31/2021 AM] Living Godly in an Ungodly World (Genesis 33:17 - 35:6)

The world hates our Savior and that puts us into difficulty. We have to live here; there’s no other world in which we can live right now. But those who occupy this world with us hate our Lord Jesus. How should we respond when they wrong us for our faith? Should we treat them like they treat us? Today’s sermon looks at a horrible event in the life of Jacob and then draws out a few principles for how we should live today.

[10/24/2021 PM] Joseph Jo‘s Ordination Service

2 Tim 4:1-4

Joseph Jo's Ordination Service

[10/24/2021 AM] When Satan Attacks Our Obedience (Acts 5:17-42)

Satan attacks in different ways. He can attack us externally using people or events outside our church to discourage or dissuade us from doing God’s will. He can also attack us from within, using disobedient brothers and sisters in Christ to harm our church’s testimony. He sometimes attacks us head-on, trying to throw us off course. Today’s sermon examines a situation where Satan tried to force the apostles off-course by threatening their lives.

[10/17/2021 PM] Don‘t Flee, Have Faith (Psalm 11) Guest Speaker: Chuck Flesher

Speaker: Chuck Flesher

Scripture: Psalm 11

 

Retired Army chaplain Chuck Flesher is our guest speaker tonight. Chuck has been with us in the past. He is a representative of AGC, an endorsing agency for Christian evangelical chaplains in the military. God is using Christians in the chaplain corps to reach service men and women for Christ.
