Bravery and Foolishness

July 6, 2025 • Pastor Dave Blaha

Ever heard that there is a fine line between bravery and foolishness, or being brave or being stupid? Context is important. So is motivation. We will be in Joshua chapter 1. God has promised His people a land, but they must lay hold of it. As children of the Living God, it is no different for us in our own lives.

Surprises and Plot Twists

March 23, 2025 • Pastor Dave Blaha • Matthew 17:1–13

Matthew 17:1-13 - Surprises and Plot Twists How fun are novels or movies without twists and turns? We love an element of the unpredictable! Maybe not too much in our own lives, but they certainly keep life interesting, and can lead us to new understanding and personal growth for sure. What if we lived lives regarding most of what we see as a miracle? I'm not talking about some cheesy Hallmark card set of feel-good phrases, but rather fundamentally changing our view of the vapor that life is here and now. Sound like a heavy lift? Sure it is. Especially when the trials of life seem overwhelming. Tomorrow we will explore the first 13 verses of Matthew chapter 17, and hopefully God will give us a glimpse of the real reality! Pastor Dave

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

June 19, 2024 • Pastor Dave Blaha • 2 Corinthians 6:14–18

"Have you ever been chafed?" - 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Have you ever been chafed? I'm not talking about someone chafing you by something they said or did, or didn't say or do. I'm referring to physically chafed! Yikes! Let it go very long and a person or animal can even bleed and infection can set in. In this teaching we will look at a well-known set of verses in 2 Corinthians chapter 6, and also delve in to see how they might relate to the theme of persecution that God has been leading us through over the past week.

What Jesus Means by "Hating your Family"

June 12, 2024 • Pastor Dave Blaha • Luke 14:25–35, Matthew 10:34–39

Just over 80 years ago, men volunteered to embark on what General Eisenhower called the "Great Crusade." There is a famous photograph, taken on the evening of June 5 1944, of the general speaking with platoon leader Wallace Strobel, age 22, and platoon leader in the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. He was one of many thousands who would jump that night into occupied France ahead of the Normandy beach landings to take place the next morning. General Eisenhower finished his official order with the following: "Let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking." What does this have to do with Matthew 10:34-39? The only way to know is to view this evening and find out! Dave

What Jesus Offers

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Dave Blaha

Have you ever visited a restaurant and enjoyed bottomless fries? If you haven't, it is a must! This is a menu item in which they will bring you all the fries your heart desires. (or until it clogs up) In the book of John, Jesus uses the limited resources of food and water to contrast what the world has to offer as compared to what He has to offer. Do you ever feel that what Jesus has to offer seems to be unreachable? Does it ever seem that others have it better in that regard? If so, Jesus has answers for you. Pastor Dave

The Doctor is ALWAYS In!

April 3, 2024 • Pastor Dave Blaha • Proverbs 2:6

The doctor is ALWAYS in! Did you grow up a fan of Peanuts? Reflections of a simpler time, but I digress... Nowadays, got a question?...just google it. But then where does that information come from? Even "reliable" sources are now corrupted by our modern, sometimes twisted ideologies, not built upon any Godly framework whatsoever. Thankfully, we have a Good Father who loves to give good gifts, including wisdom itself. For the Lord gives wisdom, from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:6 Join your brothers and sisters tonight as we look once again into the practicalities of our daily walk with Jesus, knowing full well that every day He is Risen!

Dealing With Your Conscience

1 John 4

September 24, 2023 • Pastor Dave Blaha

Dave Blaha - Associate Pastor “Knowing and accepting Christ has given me a clarity and peace I never thought was possible and He has transformed my life in many seen and unseen ways. God has always given me a deep desire to teach Truth to older youth, and there is no more fundamental Truth than Christ. Sharing with youth that a person can live a happy and exciting life under Grace, love the Lord and other people, and obey His commandments without being legalistic... there is no greater joy.”

Good Friday 2023

April 7, 2023 • Dave Blaha

Guest Speakers: Associate Pastor Dave Blaha I wish I knew then what I know now. Have you ever uttered those words? Of course you have! There is value in thinking about such things, but does the rearview mirror sometimes seem clearer than what God has for you now and ahead? The Passion walk of Jesus and His closest friends has something to tell us about this. Tonight we will gather together to worship, and in communion remember what is far more important and impactful in your life than wherever you have been or whatever you have done.
