EVERYTHING
Remember Everything
October 27, 2019 • Joel Owen
In the final message of this series we are challenged to confirm our faith by examining our lives, confirming our calling and election. We wrap up the series looking at how Peter had a plan for his ministry to outlast his life and asking what our plan is to individually pass along our faith and make disciples of Jesus.
Love
October 20, 2019 • Joel Owen
In the ninth message of this series we discuss how God calls us to add love to our faith. This specific love is agape- the highest expression of love possible from God to His Son and to His people. This is a love we are supposed to learn and then return to God and give away to others- even our enemies!
Perseverance
September 29, 2019 • Joel Owen
In the sixth message of this series we discover how God has called us to add perseverance to our faith. Jesus never promised an easy road to his disciples, so we must learn to persevere in faith irregardless of our circumstances. Saving faith is always enduring faith. In this message we ask the question "If God has given me everything I need for a life of godliness, how do I persevere in faith throughout my life?”
Self-Control
September 22, 2019 • Joel Owen
In the fifth message of this series we discover how God has called us to add self-control to our faith. Self-control allows us to say no to sinful desires, even when it hurts. In this message we look at ways a lack of self-control leaves us defenseless and strategies to add self-control to our faith.
Growing in Knowledge
September 15, 2019 • Bryan Henderson
Peter calls believers (the elect) to be faithful to God and fruitful for others through right knowledge. This knowledge is a gift from God and it is the way we experience God’s grace and peace. It also keeps us productive and growing as followers of Christ. This is a contrast to false knowledge spread by false teachers. We gain this knowledge through God’s word, God’s presence, Observing Creation (Art, Beauty, Nature, Science, etc.) and from other mature believers (The Church) among other ways. This all occurs because we are made by God and for God. He is a self-expressive being who desires to communicate with us and share his love, knowledge and understanding.
Growing in Goodness
September 8, 2019 • Joel Owen
In the third message of this series we discover how God has called us to add goodness to our faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God, so we need to know how to grow in our faith so we can add to it as we mature as followers of Jesus. Faith then manifests itself in the good that we do in the Name of Jesus to bring His salvation to the world.
Add To Your Faith
September 1, 2019 • Joel Owen
In the second message of this series we discover how God has given us faith as the building block for a life of godliness. Without faith it is impossible to please God, so we need to know how to grow in our faith so we can add to it as we mature as followers of Jesus.
Everything We Need
August 25, 2019 • Joel Owen
In the first message of this series we discover how God has given us everything we need to live for Him and have a godly life. We are challenged to put forth effort, after coming into faith in Jesus, to grow as His disciple by adding to our faith characteristics that will allow us to grow in godliness.
