Marks of Maturity

The importance of spiritual maturity

How do you know if you're mature? It can't just be age, as we have all seen people who are older but have failed to mature along the way. Life is not always predictable, but how we handle and adapt to situations can be a great indicator of what maturing we have accomplished and what is still lacking. Spiritual maturity is a very important topic emphasized by scripture that I hope to expound on for you in this message.

Loving God

October 23, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Psalm 91:14–16

It's important to understand what the term Christian means. We are not simplify talking about someone who follows a creed or code of conduct, but rather someone who loves God. Love of God and his love to his children is central to the Christian faith. God has done so much for us, whether saving us from eternal damnation or placing us into his kingdom. All he asks in return is that we love him and follow his commandments.

Go in the Strength You Have

October 20, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Judges 6

Judges 6 describes the calling of Gideon by God. Gideon was a seemingly ordinary man called to lead Israel against overwhelming odds. Despite Gideon's fears and feelings of inadequacy, God assures him that He will be with him, empowering him to accomplish what seems impossible. This message reminds us that God doesn’t expect us to have all the strength or resources; rather, He calls us to trust Him with what we do have. Through Gideon’s story, we learn that God can work mightily through our weaknesses when we step forward in faith.

God Our Healer

October 9, 2024 • Adolph Fisher • Proverbs 4:20–22

Tonight I'd like to share about healing and some testimonies of it. Over the past 44 years I have had a journey of faith in seeing God's constant provision for us and others we know. The Bible is full of scriptures that if spoken in faith are applicable to us and the health ailments we may be facing. God's desire is not that we would live our lives sick and unwhole but rather be strong and healthy in his power.
