Authentic Conversations: Discussing The Rapture

November 13, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter, Pastor Brittany Potter, Bro. Brad Wilson

In this week’s Authentic Conversations Pastor Jason and Pastor Brittany spend time with Bro. Brad about his lesson “Discussing The Rapture.” He lays out the three main views regarding the timing of the rapture itself, pre-trib, mid-trib, and post-trib. Bro. Brad not only shares information on each, he shares scripture as to why he favors a pre-tribulation rapture. Reminding each of us The Lord’s coming is soon, and that above all else, we must be ready whenever He returns.

First Wednesday: Spiritual Maturity

November 6, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter

This First Wednesday Pastor looks at Romans and Leviticus in discussing “Spiritual Maturity”.  The Lord is calling us to grow in three areas as He prepares us for where He is taking us. First we must grow in our relationship with The Word. This gives us faith and awareness, awareness producing humility.  Second we must always have an understanding of the work that’s been done for us. All of this will affect our ways. In this process we can ask God for wisdom. How we talk to others reflects our wisdom.

When Is It Good?

November 3, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter

In this message Pastor Jason asks the question “When Is It Good?” We know from Romans chapter eight that all things work together for good to those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. This means that every situation we face, no matter the circumstances, will turn out for our good. While that is so encouraging, we also know how it feels to ask in the middle, “When Is It Good?”  We are human, and The Lord understands that. That is why He grants us examples in His Word, such as in creation. In most things of creation God said and it was good, one place He said and it was so. That didn’t mean that creation was not good, but that He reminded us in the pattern, that it will all turn out good when He is finished. 

Authentic Conversations: A Look At Joseph

October 30, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter, Sis. MaKendra Livingston

In this week’s Authentic Conversations, Pastor Jason speaks with Sis MaKendra concerning “A Look At Joseph.” Through her eyes we see see a man who’s work ethic reflected his faith. A man who didn’t just make one or two good choices, but a man who was total gold through his entire life. Through God’s design, Joseph reflected the character of Christ in Egypt, thousands of years before Our Lord walked in Galilee. 

The Journey Of A Disciple Part 6

October 27, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter

In part six of our series “The Journey Of A Disciple” Pastor Jason discusses how discusses both groups and teams. Both will always be centered around the gospel. If we’re not talking about the gospel, we don’t have much to talk about. Groups and teams are both essential to God’s plan for His people. In a group it’s so important that I learn to practice presence. On a team we’ve got to practice progress. Joshua and Israel took time to gather, but when it was time for battle they worked together to achieve a purpose. They had made a decision, as for me and my house we will serve The Lord. 

Authentic Conversations: Our Mission Part 3

October 23, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter, Pastor Brittany Potter

In this week’s Authentic Conversations: “Our Mission Part 3” Pastor Jason and Pastor Brittany look back at the part five of the series “The Journey Of A Disciple.” Two essential points Pastor Jason brought out were membership and groups. Membership deals with both how we gather, and how we group up. One aspect involved in our groups will be leadership, we are all leaders.  This requires communication and humility. Humility is not thinking less about yourself, it’s thinking about yourself less, we must never forget to seek God in everything we do. The Israelites faced a battle with pride before attacking Ai, as a result they didn’t seek The Lord first. They forgot their victory was not in their ability, it was in God which gave them the victory.

The Journey Of A Disciple Part 5

October 20, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter

In part five of Pastor Jason’s series, “In the Journey Of A Disciple”, he discusses both our mission and our methods. We are seeking to understand the discipleship process better. So that our Church can accomplish our mission, which is to make disciples that make a difference. We start with our foundation which is Christ, understanding the gospel of Jesus Christ, we’re here because He showed mercy on us. Our foundation is followed by integration. Each of us must get so good at knowing God’s Word that we actually integrate it into our lives. The best way to do this is in the context of being together, and being the Church. We come together to break this word open, to search it out, and to seek to be pleasing to God. Lastly we look at transformation, which is learning to live in the kingdom, which incorporates both our mission and our methods.

Authentic Conversations: Our Mission Part 2

October 16, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter, Pastor Brittany Potter

In this week’s Authentic Conversations: “Our Mission Part 2” Pastor Jason and Pastor Brittany look back at the part four of the series “The Journey Of A Disciple.” They discuss the perspective and practices of a disciple. It’s one thing to say that God is with us, but are we practicing things that give us a greater awareness of His Presence in our lives? It’s not ritualistic but it needs to be routine! We should approach everything with a constant posture of prayer. When we intentionally maintain a consistent connection with God we are more aware of His Presence, including how we meditate on God’s Word.  The more we do the deeper our understanding, as we continue to grow, we can receive more of Him.

The Journey Of A Disciple Part 4

October 13, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter

In part four of “The Journey Of A Disciple” Pastor Jason looks at both perspective and practice. Discipleship encompasses three parts, evangelism, conversion, and maturity. The word disciple means student, no matter at what stage we are, each of us will always be a student of Christ. We must remember we are all disciples on this journey, and that everyone will not always be on the same phase we are on. However each of us are called to reach others, we are not called to save them, Christ will accomplish that. We are called to share the Gospel through evangelism. There are three steps to evangelism, to engage, empower, and equip. To do this we must maintain our perspective and our practice through prayer, meditation on His word, our worship, and being still or abiding in His Presence.

Authentic Conversations: Our Mission Part 1

October 9, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter, Pastor Brittany Potter

In this week’s Authentic Conversations: “Our Mission Part 1” Pastor Jason and Pastor Brittany look back at the first three messages in “The Journey Of A Disciple.” Our mission is We Make Disciples That Make A Difference. We must make sure the activities support the mission. To do this we must number one talk about it through a Biblical lens. This involves our commitment, which is to God, family, and the needs of others.  Our commitment and mission are connected. God wants to show how we belong to Him by how we belong to each other. For this to be successful we must have three pivotal processes in the Church, discipleship, membership, and leadership. Leadership is both how we are becoming who God has called us to be. As well as how we are helping others to become what God has called them to be.

The Journey Of A Disciple Part 3

October 6, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter

In part three of “The Journey Of A Disciple” Pastor Jason looks at phase three transformation. Becoming what God has called us to be is an ongoing process, every believer should continually be growing. Transformation isn’t a one time event, but an ongoing process. The Church are in covenant with Christ and with each other as the body of Christ. It’s not about us, it’s about the Kingdom. In Numbers thirteen we see that sending the spies was the people’s idea not God’s command. We must be careful not to try to assess what God has told us to possess. The 10 spies doubt not only cost themselves, but that generation their promised land except for Joshua and Caleb. They knew that there were giants, but they also knew that God was bigger than any of them. They had been transformed by The One Who brought both them, and ourselves into His kingdom.

First Wednesday: The Depths Of The Sea

October 2, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter

This First Wednesday coincided with the beginning of Rosh Hashanah or the Feast Of Trumpets. During this festival the Jews throw bread on the waters. They do this to symbolize what Micah spoke of, The Lord casting our sins into “The Depths Of The Sea.” Pastor Jason reminds us no matter what we face, God is in control. The Church must trust in Christ alone. When we trust in other things we make Christ secondary, and He is second to no one. We have put our trust in God because He has been faithful, even when we don’t understand, He is working for our good. Christ has redeemed us, and will keep us until He comes to take us home.

The Journey Of A Disciple Part 2

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Jason Potter

In this message Pastor Jason continues our series, “The Journey Of A Disciple”, with a look at phase two of the journey integration. Last week we looked at the foundation, today in Exodus 15-40 we see a pattern of integration. Israel has crossed the Red Sea, and on the way to Mount Sinai. In between they face three tests. God was testing Israel to see if they would do what God says.  God was saying to Israel He would give them words to keep, and if they would do what God had said, everything would work out for them. We start by reading, we grow in understanding, then we begin to do what God’s called us to do. The Bible has to be integrated in our lives. God wants us to live our lives according to His Word. It teaches us how we’re supposed to live, and how we’re supposed to treat each other.
