Turn
The God We Are Meant to Know
Part 9 - Turning to the God Who Refreshes
November 15, 2015 • Pastor Herb Reisig
Business, hurry, and urgency are systemic problems in the workplace and even our culture today. There is little to no patience when it comes to making and receiving things. What Jesus shows us in the story of Mary and Martha is the importance of slowing down, sitting still, and allowing the refreshing of God to come into your life. More often than not nowadays, we are Martha busy at work in the kitchen when Jesus is looking for us to be more like Mary and sit as His feet.
Part 8 - Turning to God's Transforming Power
November 8, 2015 • David Sulcer
Often times we identity ourselves as sinners. The problem is, we wrap our identities around the false narratives we find ourselves believing. The truth is that though Christ, God has transformed us and made us into a new creation, who is alive with Christ.
Part 7 - Turning to God's Self-Giving
November 1, 2015 • Pastor Herb Reisig
We often think that in our Christian walk, we are working our way to God, or to Heaven. This work narrative puts the control of life in our own hands and makes our salvation a matter of work. The fact of the matter is, however, we don't work our way to God, instead, He worked His way to us. The work of reconciliation and salvation was done on the Cross. The only thing required of us is faith, and a life lived out of the reality of His love and His sacrifice.
Part 6 - Turning to God's Holiness
October 25, 2015 • David Sulcer
God's wrath is often one of the most misunderstood parts about Christianity. When we look at His wrath based on what the Bible teaches, we see that it not part of who He is but instead what He does. His wrath is not judgment and death, but instead His righteous and just action against sin, because ultimately, God is for us and wants for none to perish.
Part 5 - Turning to God's Love
October 18, 2015 • Pastor Herb Reisig
Most of us tend to think God will love us if we promise to, and work towards improving our lives. He might us if we truly change our behavior and do the right thing. What Jesus reveals to us is a God that loves us even in our worst times, and whose love is truly unconditional. The God that Jesus reveals loves us, period.
Part 2 - Turning to God's Goodness
September 27, 2015 • David Sulcer
We often hear the phrase that "God is Good", but don't often fully understand or believe that it's true. We believe that God is good, and yet at the same time can still think about a God who curses us when we sin. How do we balance the ideas of God's goodness and bad things that happen?
Part 1 - Turning Toward a Better Life
September 20, 2015 • Pastor Herb Reisig
Have you ever wanted to change? Too many times we rely on our own willpower and knowledge to make meaningful changes in our lives. In this first sermon in our new series "Turn", we talk about how to effect real spiritual change in our lives and the God who will make it happen.
