Called By Name
have you answered the call?
Who's following you?
May 21, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Matthew 28:16–20
Following God isn’t always easy and leading others to follow him can be even tougher. In order to engage in the mission of God, we are called to make disciples, not just mere converts for the kingdom. In this message Pastor Chris teaches that we are called to be more than just disciples of Jesus,, we are called to be disciple makers!
What are we known for?
May 14, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • John 13:34–35, Colossians 3:12–14
Jesus says that the world will recognize that we are Christians by how we love others. But how do I love those who are difficult to love? How do I show love to those who I personally don’t like? God is not calling us to do certain tasks, but to love certain people. In order to draw others to God, we are being called to be a reflection of God. In this message Pastor Chris teaches how to love the unlovable.
Get out of the boat
May 7, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Matthew 14:22–32
How can we overcome the fears of leaving our comfort zone and taking the first step toward achieving our dreams and goals? You will never know how far you can go until you leave the safety of the boat to walk on water. Taking the first step is always the hardest, but it is the only way to experience everything God has for you. In this message Pastor Chris teaches that if you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat.
Counting the Cost
April 30, 2023 • Pastor Erik Pluemer
Would you ever go on a trip without factoring what the trip is going to cost? Although we may spend more or less than we budgeted, we would do our best to estimate the amount our trip would cost us before we go. Jesus tells us to estimate the cost before making the decision to follow him. In this message Pastor Erik teaches that following Jesus comes at a cost, but the reward is priceless.
Is it worth it
April 23, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis
The call to follow Jesus is a deeply personal decision and it involves sacrificing one's desires and goals for a higher purpose. At the end of the day we are left asking the question, is it really worth it? In this message Pastor Chris will teach that Salvation is free and does not cost you anything, but following Jesus will eventually cost you something!
Calling all sinners
April 16, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Matthew 9:9–12
Have you ever felt judged or had a bad encounter with other Christians? Many times people who have a horrible experience with a church form an opinion about God. They often feel condemned, but does God really feel that way about them? In this message Pastor Chris teaches that being a sinner is not a disqualification, but a prerequisite.
Drop your nets!
April 9, 2023 • Pastor Chris Cassis • Luke 5:1–11
Have you ever chosen to ignore someone when they called you? When we don’t want to speak with someone we normally send them to voicemail. We easily ignore telemarketers and phone numbers we don’t recognize. The numbers of those whom we are closest with and have a relationship with are saved under contacts and favorites. When they call we instantly answer. There is a response when they call, but how many of us respond when Jesus calls? In this message Pastor Chris teaches that many will be called, but few will answer.
