The Marks Of True Ministry – Part 1
April 29, 2015 • Pastor John Miller
Paul the Apostle defends his character and the ministry. True ministry will preach the Gospel of Christ, God’s grace and the Spirit of God through salvation. Believers enjoy liberty following sincere obedience and love of the Lord. Hope, faith and glory in God is a true mark of such holy vocation.

The Marks Of True Ministry – Part 2
May 6, 2015 • Pastor John Miller
Just as the Apostles, God calls believers to ministry. This kind of ministry is the Gospel of God’s grace through Jesus Christ. When Christians preach the Gospel, we may come up against opposition however, Paul the Apostle says in the book of Second Corinthians that without fear he has come to preach God’s message in clear view, which gives the best picture of God!

Our Future Hope
May 13, 2015 • Pastor John Miller

The Bible and the Spirit of God is gracious to give us a glimpse of heaven and puts a bit of eternity in our hearts and minds. We are in good cheer to see what is in store for those who know salvation!

Hardships Of The Ministry
May 27, 2015 • Pastor John Miller
Paul the Apostle is inspiring the believers in Corinth. He encourages them to take heart and asks each one to enter the great life of true ministry. He says to the Christians, “…although you may come up against tough times and feel beaten up do not forget that God is with you and he recognizes you.” “Remember when you are blamed, slandered ignored and immersed in tears we know that we have deep joy and abundant lives knowing the joy of the Lord!” Pastor John Miller continues our study through the Book of 2 Corinthians with an expository message titled “Hardships Of The Ministry” using 2 Corinthians 6:1-10 as his text.
The Call To Separation
June 10, 2015 • Pastor John Miller
Christians are the temple of God and the Lord says he will dwell and move in our heart and lives. The Lord promises to be our Father and he wants each believer to cling to Him. We in turn will separate ourselves and break from anything that defiles or distracts us from living a fit and holy life in the service and worship of God. Pastor John Miller continues our study through the Book of 2 Corinthians with an expository message titled “The Call To Separation” using 2 Corinthians 6:11-7:1 as his text.
Real Repentance
June 17, 2015 • Pastor John Miller
Paul the Apostle wrote a letter to the community in Macedonia and admonished their behavior. The townspeople listened and came to repentance and changed their ways. The people let distress bring them to a new beginning in Christ and Paul says, Godly sorrow that drives us to God turns us around and brings us back to Jesus and true repentance. This is something saved souls will not regret it. Pastor John Miller continues our study through the Book of 2 Corinthians with an expository message titled “Real Repentance” using 2 Corinthians 7:2-16 as his text.
Grace Giving – Part 1
June 24, 2015 • Pastor John Miller
In the first verses of Chapter 8 of the Second book of Corinthians, we read of a church community that although they were in fierce troubles they were eager to give their gift to help in the ministry. It was as though the pressure of their hardship pushed them closer to a generous heart. This family of God gave more than they could afford and continued to help with the relief of underprivileged Believers. Pastor John Miller continues our study through the Book of 2 Corinthians with an expository message titled “Grace Giving” using 2 Corinthians 8:1-9 as his text.
Grace Giving – Part 2
July 8, 2015 • Pastor John Miller
Paul encourages the believers to give to those who are in need. It is better to give than to receive and the Bible teaches this type of blessing. God wants to bring the best out of us and instructs us accordingly. We know the life of Christ who had everything as He willingly gave it all away for you and I. Paul the Apostle teaches to follow through in the ministry and give from your heart to the Glory of God! Pastor John Miller continues our study through the Book of 2 Corinthians with an expository message titled “Grace Giving part 2” using 2 Corinthians 8:10-24 as his text.
Grace Giving – Part 3
July 15, 2015 • Pastor John Miller
Paul describes the three men that served the Lord beside him and how they handled the money given to them for the ministry of the Gospel of Christ. These men loved the people of God and their character was solid and trustworthy. They proved their dependability and good reputation with God and his people. These men are Paul, Titus and another man who the Bible does not name but the churches choose him to carry out this important humble duty. Pastor John Miller continues our study through the Book of 2 Corinthians with an expository message titled “Grace Giving part 3” using 2 Corinthians 8:16-24 as his text.
Grace Giving – Part 4
July 22, 2015 • Pastor John Miller
John the Apostle says that if a Christian is a stingy giver then this is what he or she will get back in return which is not much. However if a believer is lavish in their giving then they will return a bountiful crop! We should give with love and grace as Christ and then we will know that we can stir up the Agape love of God! Pastor John Miller continues our study through the Book of 2 Corinthians with an expository message titled “Grace Giving part 4” using 2 Corinthians 9 as his text.
Victory In The Battle
July 29, 2015 • Pastor John Miller
As a servant of the Lord, we know we can use God’s powerful tools for tearing down anything that will come up against the Lord and the truth of God. Although we may be in the battle and service of the Lord and will come up against opposition, we can by the Authority of God build up lives of obedience and truth. Pastor John Miller continues our study through the Book of 2 Corinthians with an expository message titled “Victory In The Battle” using 2 Corinthians 10 as his text.
