In the Old Testament, nothing was more central to Israel's way of life than the Land God gave them and the Temple He called them to build, and as with everything in the Old Testament, this all points us to our lives today in Christ. In 1st Corinthians chapter 3 Paul is "echoing" these OT truths and showing how the Church is the fulfillment of the Land Promises and the Temple realities fully experienced! Ultimately in this message, we talk about how important it is that we "Build" with "Quality materials" the Temple of God which is what we are as God's people. How do we make sure we are building on Jesus Christ and build with things like gold instead of straw, that is things that will last to the final Day of Judgement. Blessings!

Church FOR People
October 11, 2020 • Pastor Jack Schull
Jesus is FOR you & He’s FOR people — He longs for His Church to make the same proclamation of Good News - that God is FOR people wherever they are at. This generation is looking for an alternative to simply more hype or more hate. They’re looking for HOPE. Friends, the CHURCH is still the hope FOR the world - we’re to carry forward the very mission of Jesus. (Luke 4:18-21)
Forgiveness As Culture
October 4, 2020 • Pastor David Porter
The closer we grow in relationships and community as a church the more prone we are to have conflict and offenses that can ultimately tear us apart because we feel so deeply. This message is a call to all believers in every church to remember how Jesus paid our debts so we can love each other as Christ loved us. This is a great challenge.
The Hope-Giving Church
September 27, 2020 • Pastor Jack Schull
We are to be a part of a hope-giving church, that impacts the community and shares this hope with a world that needs it – all because we have been given HOPE. We’ve been given a HOPE from Jesus that takes care of our past (gospel), is present in our here & now, and secures our future. We’re infused with this HOPE to now share it with others. We are to become PEZ PEOPLE, (if you will)…God’s HOPE dispensers to the world.
