Unity in the Community

Connecting with Christians in your community

July 17, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould, Reverend Mark Borseth • Psalm 133

I and many others feel there is a common sense of community in Yukon. Our Ministerial Alliance group here is no exception and is a wonderful collection of pastors in the community that gets together and shares support and news with one another. Tonight I am joined by a good friend of mine from that group, Reverend Mark Borseth. He is a testament to the importance of ecumenical connection in a local community among Bible-believing Christians. The denominational differences that separate us should not distract from the mutual sense of brother and sisterhood that we share.

You Are Needed

July 21, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Luke 19:28–40

The most important desire of my heart is to help the Lord fulfill his plans on the earth. Although God is omnipotent, he has always honored free will and works with man. It is for this reason that Jesus remarked that, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few." God needs us to live in a way that honors him and shuts every door on sin in our lives. It is imperative that we are fully dedicated toward service to God and possess willingness to submit to his will. To put this all simply -- God needs you, as a laborer and as a Christian.

How Paul Overcame Discouragement

July 14, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Acts 20:17–24

If you live very long, you'll receive bad news at some point. Life is full of discouragement. The various events of life are guaranteed to leave you with at least a few scars. Therefore, the importance is not what happens to us but how we respond. The discouraging thoughts that come to us, do not have to go through us. We have talked about Joshua in the Old Testament and his response to discouragement, but I'd like to talk to you now about how Paul is our example in the Church Age of dealing with discouragement. We are never alone in our battle to stay encouraged.

Characteristics of a Spirit-filled Life

July 10, 2024 • Pastor Tom Arnould • Ephesians 5:16–21

I want to speak to you out of Ephesians 5, about characteristics of a spirit-filled life. When someone says they believe in a spirit-filled life, they are not referring to an abstract concept. The Bible describes specific signs that follow a life heavily influenced by the Holy Spirit's presence. It is not God's will that only some would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. It is a second baptism that all believers are invited to partake of.
