Tripping Up

What Gym?

July 16, 2023 • Scott Klaudt

Pastor Scott wraps up the series with giving concrete ways for continued spiritual growth. Just like our muscles must be worked out, pushed, broken down, our spiritual muscles are the same. Just like physical workouts, there is a lot of advice on how to work out our spirits, however there are time-tested ways given to us by the ancient Christians that have proved fruitful for thousands of years.

What Pit?

July 9, 2023 • Scott Klaudt

Everyone falls, everyone stumbles, everyone gets into a pit. Sometimes it’s a pit others have dug, but often it’s a pit we have dug. Our choice is to stay in the pit and keep digging deeper, or turn and look to the Lord to pull us out.

Who's the Adult?

June 25, 2023 • Scott Klaudt

There is a misconception in our culture that getting older automatically makes you wiser. Or, take that one step further, that age has to do with maturity. The New Testament talks a lot about becoming mature Christians but, unfortunately, we have made maturity simply morality. However, maturity is more of a spiritual place of being rather than what you do or don’t do. The main thing mature Christians do is see the spiritual side of things, the real things, and not get distracted by the ways of the world only dealing in the flesh.

Which Jesus?

June 11, 2023 • Scott Klaudt

There are many names for Jesus, and there are many different characteristics to Jesus, but there’s one that we don’t think about enough: Friend. Jesus told his disciples before he went to the cross, which was going to be one of the most traumatic experiences of their lives, that "I no longer call you slaves but friends." Oftentimes we think so much about Jesus’ Divinity, we forget about his humanity, and that he is also the perfect friend. What we know about humanity is that it is in our low points, our struggles, when we are lost, that we need a friend the most. Jesus is our most important friend.

Who's Saved?

June 4, 2023 • Scott Klaudt

Pastor Scott kicks off his summer series, "Tripping Up", with the most important question anyone can ask: "Who is saved?" It seems like a simple answer -- Jesus. But the interesting thing is, most dominations don't even agree on how or who is saved. Scott breaks this down to show the God of love and mercy saves all, but we work out our salvation after the cross.
