Five Marks of Christian Maturity

Acts 20:17-38

January 15, 2023 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Acts 20:17–38

Give

In this first sermon from the “My Favorite Verse” series, Pastor Phil looks at Paul’s words to the church elders in Acts 20:17-38. In this passage, we see five themes that are marks of Christian maturity: the emphasis on relationships, service, proclamation of the gospel, sacrifice, and concern for not only our own Christian walk, but that of other believers. May we grow in each of these areas this year! From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Faith to Endure

January 29, 2023 • Calvin Hemphill • 2 Corinthians 4:16–18

How do we endure hardship as followers of Jesus? In this final sermon from the “My Favorite Verse” series, Pastor Calvin looks at 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, reminding us not to lose heart because God is renewing us, his plan is glorious, and we can trust in his unseen promises. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

One Thing!

January 22, 2023 • Pastor Neal Hackbarth • Philippians 3:8–16

In this sermon from the “My Favorite Verse” series, Pastor Neal looks at Philippians 3:8-16 to see the “one thing” of the Christian life—the pursuit of knowing and being known by the Lord Jesus Christ. In this pursuit, we are encouraged to pray for a willing heart and spirit, to look at and follow the example of Christ and other godly people, and to never give up!
