In this sermon from the book of Ruth, we look at what the lives of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz have to teach us about faith, hope, and redemption. Much as he did with Naomi and Ruth, God uses trials and troubles in our lives to bring us to the end of ourselves and to draw us closer to him. Boaz was the kinsman redeemer who saved Naomi and Ruth from poverty and ruin. Christ, our great Redeemer, rescues us from sin and death. Are you putting your faith and trust in him?

The Evidence of Genuine Love
December 31, 2023 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • 1 John 4:17–21
In the book of 1 John, the apostle explains what genuine love, love that is “perfected,” should look like. In this New Year’s sermon from 1 John 4:17-21, Pastor Phil looks at two evidences of genuine love: a love that lacks fear and one that displays sacrificial love for others. This type of genuine love will only come about by the power of the Spirit as we faithfully abide in Jesus Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
Abigail the Peacemaker
October 29, 2023 • Guest • 1 Samuel 25
In this sermon, author, speaker and biblical counselor Jim Newheiser brings us a message from 1 Samuel 25, where we see Abigail serving as a peacemaker, rescuing her family from death and David from sin. We see in Abigail a model of how to confront someone about their sin, and in David we have an example of how to humbly accept correction and change course when needed. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
From Death to Life
April 9, 2023 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Ephesians 2:1–7
In this Easter sermon, Pastor Phil looks at Ephesians 2:1-7, where we see that without Christ, we are spiritually dead, enslaved, and condemned. If we have placed our faith in Christ, because of his resurrection, we too have the hope and promise of being resurrected, and are made alive, victorious, and exalted through him. From our Easter Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
