Where Did The Bible Come From?

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Mike Towner • Matthew 4:4, Luke 24:44, Proverbs 14:12, Hebrews 4:12, Colossians 3:16

Hebrews 4:12 (ESV): "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." The Bible is the living, breathing Word of God, given to us so that we would draw near to Him.

Revealing Jesus

October 27, 2024 • Pastor Mike Towner • Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8, Romans 10:9, Romans 10:13

As we close out our "Greater Than Gold" Fall Focus series, isn't it amazing to reflect on how great the Word of God is! The more we reflect on the scriptures, the more Jesus reveals Himself to us, and the more we ultimately understand about his purpose, power, and will for our lives.

Using Scripture To Save Lives

October 20, 2024 • Pastor Mike Towner • 1 John 4:20–21, Ephesians 4:29, Mark 2:23–28, Matthew 15:3–9, Matthew 19:3–9

The scriptures are FULL of God's Word; transformative and life giving wisdom to all who seek it. As disciples, we are called to dive into scripture, let it transform us from the inside out, and use it to bring transformation to others. Embrace the living Word, let it shape your life, and watch how God uses it to impact the world through you!

Defeating Temptation Like Jesus

October 13, 2024 • Pastor Mike Towner • Psalm 119:11, James 1:14–15, Matthew 4:1–10, James 4:6

Scripture exposes how bad sin is and reveals how good God’s way is. Defeating temptation relies on 3 steps: 1.) Identify your temptation 2.) Find a Bible verse to fight with 3.) Commit it to memory As Christians, we fight temptation on our knees, armed with the Word of God in our hearts!
