Identity
Put It All On
November 26, 2023 • Pastor Erik Pluemer
Athletes take the time to put on pads, helmets, and safety gear before practice and sporting events. Why is it then that Christians choose to leave their protection at home? In this message Pastor Erik teaches that God is calling us to put on the full armor of God.
Moonlight Christians
November 19, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Ephesians 4:25—6:9
Most people’s biggest complaint about the church is that it is full of hypocrites. We say we value one thing, but our behavior says otherwise. How is it possible for the church to be a light to the world if it continues to dwell in darkness? In this message Pastor Chris teaches that our actions are a reflection of God’s character.
Made New
November 12, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Ephesians 4:17–24
What are you holding onto from your past? We all have experiences in our life that shape who we are, but God does not just want to fix your brokenness. He wants to give you a brand new life. In this message Pastor Chris teaches in order to embrace the new, you have to let go of the old.
Quitting the Church
November 5, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Ephesians 4
In today’s culture it is easier than ever with a click of a button to watch a sermon, listen to a podcast or have access to the Bible. In fact, many are opting out of attending a church and choosing to grow spiritually on their own. It brings up the question, is it possible to love God and not belong to his church? In this message Pastor Chris teaches that we can’t experience the power of God if we are disconnected from His body.
Emptied and Filled
October 29, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Ephesians 3:1–13
When suffering happens we become discouraged in our faith. It is easy to question whether God is really in control or if he really cares. But maybe God is using our troubles and difficulties for a purpose. In this message Pastor Chris teaches that in order to be filled with God’s power, we must first admit and embrace our weaknesses.
Far But Near
October 22, 2023 • Pastor Erik Pluemer • Ephesians 2:11–22
We all know what it means and most likely have experienced rejection at some point in our life. It is easy when we are rejected by people to begin to believe we are also rejected by God and the church. Past hurts become a dictator of our future beliefs. We begin to wonder if God is far away when we need him. In this message Pastor Erik teaches that God is closer than you think.
Death to Life
October 15, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Ephesians 2:1–10
Many people believe that the more good deeds we do, the more God will bless us. There is a thought process that if my good deeds outweigh my bad deeds, then I will be able to make it into heaven. But how can I do good deeds if I am naturally a bad person? In this message Pastor Chris teaches in order to embrace our identity in Christ, we must first know who we are without Christ.
Your Hidden Power
October 8, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Ephesians 1:15–23
What’s been your experience with church? Paul writes about his excitement of the faith, love, and change the christian’s in Ephesus are experiencing. Many times the church today does not experience that same power because they do not know who God is. In this message Pastor Chris teaches that change does not come from know about God, but from experiencing a relationship with God.
In Christ
October 1, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Ephesians 1:1–14
How would you define your worth? As children of God we are reminded of our blessings, but what about those moments when we don't feel or see them. It’s impossible to experience the blessings of God if we do not first understand our value to God. In this message Pastor Chris emphasizes that our blessings do not come from material possessions, but In Christ alone!
