"How Does God Speak?"

God is Personal

June 2, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • Matthew 6:5–8, 1 Kings 19

We often want and expect God to speak loudly and with great might. However, due to God's personal nature with humanity, he chooses to speak with a whisper more than we realize. The question is, "Are we quiet enough to hear what is being said?"

"True Rest"

September 8, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • Genesis 1:31, Genesis 2:1–3, Exodus 20:8–11

From the beginning, God has given us a pattern of how to do life. Man was intended to work six days and rest for one day. What does this mean for us? -We are to work hard at all we do. Christians should be marked by the excellence of our work. Laziness has no place in our lives. -We are to work from our rest, not work so we can rest. Christians are not called to be workaholics. We must enjoy the blessings of God by taking a true break from work to worship. Rest means we enjoy God. We lean into His goodness and take delight in all that He has done for us. In our fast-paced, loud world, this means we must unplug and just be with Him. True rest can happen if we walk in the pattern God laid for us.

"A New Way to Carry Life"

September 1, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • Matthew 11:25–30

"The Authority of Scripture"

August 25, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • Mark 12:28–34

Knowing scripture and doing scripture are two separate things. Our head knowledge must move to our heart, which then moves our hands and feet. Our willingness to be open to this hinges upon whether or not we believe God's word to be authoritative in our lives. God's authority is love. It is foundational in His desire for us to have salvation, forgiveness, and a life of meaning.
