The Assurances Of The Christian Life
November 11, 2018 • Pastor Scott Kircher
The Christian life can be hard sometimes - Persecution, sacrifice, dying to self – can be challenging. Sometimes we may wonder if it is worth it. Well, it is! Because even in spite of the challenges, the Christian has many assurances that can be relied on and can bring great peace into our lives, even during the challenging times. What are the things we can be assured of as a Christian living for Christ?
The Truth About Jesus
November 4, 2018 • Pastor Scott Kircher
False teachers were teaching heresy about Jesus. John is seeking to refute these things and teach the truth about Jesus. He tells of 3 things that testify to the truth of who Jesus is and what He had done. What do these 3 things represent and testify to?
Living In The Light Of A God Who Is Love
October 28, 2018 • Pastor Scott Kircher
Truly loving others requires that we have the right view of God and who He is and what He has secured for us. Understanding that God is Love helps us to love when we keep focused on Him. How has God demonstrated that He is love and what transformations should we see in our lives when we live in light of that reality?
A Child Of God
October 7, 2018 • Pastor Scott Kircher
Have you ever thought what it would be like to be born into a different family or in a different country or to be a prince or princess in a royal family? Well, while we can’t dictate what family or were we are born in this world, we can be born again as a child of God and experience the blessings that come with God as our Father. What are those blessings that we can live in and enjoy even as we wait for this ultimate fulfillment?
Be Honest
September 16, 2018 • Pastor Scott Kircher
Often in this life, people tend to now want to talk about the bad things we have done in our life. We like to forget about them and pretend they never happened. While we do want to put those behind us, we need to be honest about them if we are going to truly be free to move forward.
Getting Real
September 9, 2018 • Pastor Scott Kircher
In life sometimes, we find people who seem to be pretenders to put it nicely. They live in a way that does not match what they say. There is no authenticity to their lives. There are even those who claim Jesus was a pretender, not really being who He claimed to be. Today we begin a new series on the book of 1st John. John begins his letter with a view to getting real about who Jesus is and the reality of the Christian life.
