I Don't Wanna Do That /// Part 5

August 4, 2024 • Pastor Marc Neppl • 1 Peter 2:11–20

Common lies believed in society today is, "If my heart wants it then it must be good" or, "follow your heart" or, "do what makes you happy." While this belief may make us feel empowered in it does not live out well in real life scenarios. Work places would be a mess if everyone followed their heart rather than their job description. Road systems all over the world would be absolute mayhem if each driver followed their heart rather than rules of the road. Law enforcement and public servants would be overwhelmed with emergency calls if every person lived for their hearts desires rather than the laws of their land. Scripture teaches how to follow Christ and be able to guide our hearts desires to align with Jesus rather than self.

Just like those players need a solid foundation to stand firm against the elements, we, too, need our spiritual grounding to resist the forces at play around and within us.

God's Leadership Plan /// Part 12

September 22, 2024 • Pastor Marc Neppl • 1 Peter 5:1–5

Who is a leader that has blessed your life? Being honest with ourselves it is not going to be the President of our nation or some celebrity figure we have never met or talked to. Watching a video where a person shares promises for change or steps to attain wealth is not really blessing us. Leaders that have blessed your life have to have an integral part of the world around you. Leadership is a buzzword among Christian circles and in churches but what does God say about leadership?
