Higher Calling

Living on Mission

November 17, 2024 • Pastor Brent Warkentin

Pastor Brent concluded the "Higher Calling" series by discussing the importance of living an intentional Christian life, outlining five key principles. He emphasized that while intentions alone aren't enough, Christians need God's Word, Spirit, and people to live intentionally, with Jesus serving as the perfect example of an intentional life focused on His mission.

Four Keys to Financial Freedom

November 10, 2024 • Pastor Brent Warkentin

Money has both a light side (enjoyment, security, generosity) and a dark side (greed, hoarding, overspending, debt). This week Pastor Brent presents four key principles for financial stewardship: give more, save more, spend less, and get out of debt. Self-control--supported by prayer and accountability--is essential for achieving financial freedom and making a positive impact.

Angels, Dinner Parties, & A Big, Big House

November 3, 2024 • Matt Ehresman

Jesus calls Christians to practice radical hospitality and humility in their relationships. While the world prioritizes status and selective inclusion, God's kingdom welcomes all who accept His invitation. Living out this higher calling means taking the lower seat and actively inviting those typically overlooked into God's family.

Finding Your Place

October 27, 2024 • Pastor Brent Warkentin • Ephesians 2:8–10

God calls Christians to make a difference in the world through their unique spiritual gifts. While finding and using these gifts requires intentional effort, it leads to a life of purpose and impact. Following God's plan to serve others brings both personal fulfillment and advances His kingdom.

More Than A Song

October 20, 2024 • Pastor Brent Warkentin

While most of us associate the word "worship" with singing, the Higher Calling of worship is much more. True worship is ultimately a life bowed down, a daily expression of our devotion to God.

Jesus > Politics

October 13, 2024 • Pastor Brent Warkentin

In anticipation of the upcoming presidential election, Pastor Brent reminds us that our love and allegiance to Jesus should always outweigh our political opinions. In a culture so divided by politics, we need to remember to be kind, to pray for our leaders, and to trust in God's sovereignty.

Raising the Bar

October 6, 2024 • Pastor Brent Warkentin • Matthew 5:21–44

God calls Christians to live under a higher standard. And while this higher bar is admittedly challenging, this way of life is also good and achievable with His help. Pursuing God's plans for us leads to a life that is good and satisfying and impactful.
