Friends, we are not struggling against flesh and blood: our government, elected leaders, media, etc. We are fighting spiritual forces that are determined to destroy not only our nation but our heritage and our churches! Join us in unpacking what Scripture says that we, as believers, need to do about the battle in front of us.
As we swing into a New Year, let us not forget the basics needed to walk out our faith daily!
We will all inevitably encounter a day that brings the worst life has to throw at us. What will you do? How will you respond? The book of Acts reveals how the new Church responded in their darkest days....we should strive to follow their example.
While this is not the traditional "baby in the manger" Christmas sermon - it's a relevant one for this time of year. As Pastor Randy tells the story of a stuttering choir boy, the reality of the story rings true for us during this holiday season - and for any season in life: "Keep your focus on Jesus...."
The birth of a baby can do wonders. The birth of a Savior can do miracles. Come hear how Jesus changed the world!
We've heard stories most of our lives about His 1st Advent: coming as a baby in Bethlehem. Have you received Him into your life (2nd Advent)? And, are you preparing for His 3rd Advent - His physical 2nd coming? Make room for Jesus in your life - your eternity depends on it.
The one time a year the Congregation "preaches"! Join the celebration of what God has done in 2020....in spite of a pandemic and national turmoil.
In this last installment of teachings on the Holy Spirit, we'll take a look at the expectations that rest on believers if we desire the Holy Spirit to work in our lives.
Part 3 of the Holy Spirit series helps us understand the power we receive when the Holy Spirit is active in our lives. With that power comes conviction - but, it also brings liberty and freedom!
Part 2 of this series helps us understand the things the Holy Spirit will give us...wisdom, counsel, recollection, etc. These things are VITAL in the believer's walk: How will we know what to say to that person? What words can we offer in that situation? The Holy Spirit will give us those things, and more, when we seek Him.
The Holy Spirit....part of the Triune God. Why do we not talk about Him much? Come with us on this 3 part journey of discovering Who He is, how He functions, the gifts He gives, and the fruit He can bear in our lives if we allow Him to.
We, like football refs, have authority given to us by a Book and a Higher Power than ourselves! Are we acknowledging when Biblical standards are upheld? (Touchdown!) Do we engage when non-Biblical standards are ignored? (throw the penalty flag!) God has an expectation that believers will acknowledge and play by His Book - when we don't, nothing but chaos on the field unfolds.....
Continuing our study in Matthew (chapter 24), Pastor Randy takes a look at what Jesus Himself said about His return and the last days.
We don't just attend church for the sake of attending church. According to Scripture, now more than ever, we need to assemble together as the Body for strength, encouragement, and discipleship!
Jesus had a real problem with the Pharisees. Spiritual leaders motivated by their own selfish desire to be great and noticed by people. Preference and imposed "rules" on top of scripture should never be a litmus test as to whether something is truly righteous or not - the standard is His Word...period. We need to be sure we aren't being condescending and unloving towards our brothers and sisters based on preference or experience.
Trying to trip up Jesus by asking questions they thought He couldn't answer without pinning Himself to the wall didn't work out for the Pharisees, Sadducees, or the Scribes. We show our selfish nature and pride when we think we can "trap" Jesus....we need to simply trust His Word and trust that He is Who He says He is! Don't be so "smart" spiritually that you're not.....
Are you trying to get to the Wedding Feast without putting on the wedding garments for dinner? There is only ONE way to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb - His way...through the blood of Jesus.
God took a Saul and made him a Paul - do we believe He can still do that today?
Does God still speak in visions - would we obey if He did?
