God's holistic peace

November 6, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould

The concept of peace as described by the Hebrew word "shalom" is a very deep concept with much meaning carried by the one word. It describes a holistic peace that comes over someone operating in the Lord's favor. The kind of peace that applies to all parts of their life: familial, relational, bodily, communal, etc. Peace represents ultimate harmony with God's natural order and it is God's will that the Christian would live in it.

Gaining God’s Guidance

November 17, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • 1 Corinthians 13:11–13

As a pastor, the number one prayer request I get is people seeking direction. The Bible is given to us to help guide us by communicating what God's will is. As you get closer to the Word of God, you get closer to God. It is amazing to me how in prayer I am constantly brought back to a verse in the Bible to communicate an insight. My hope in this message is to communicate to you how you can ascertain God's will for you by maturing spiritually.

Your Place, Your Grace

November 10, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • 1 Corinthians 12:18

It's a beautiful thing to find what you're good at. God has a special role for you and you will feel most satisfied when you discover it and adapt to it. Our culture shows us that people are most productive and happy when they have a sense of belonging and purpose. God will enable you to live out his purpose for your life with a special grace on you. He will not just call you to your role but also give you the spiritual tools and mindset to carry it out.

The Main Things

November 3, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Matthew 9:9–13

What are the main things we need to be focused on? What do we need to prioritize? The Bible has answers to these questions, and they are not obscure -- the Bible answers quite plainly. The primary call of the believer is to reach others and answer the Great Commission, to fulfill evangelism. Just as we were once sinners but have been raised to life in Christ, we are called to spread God's word to help bring about this second birth for others.
