Praying & Knowing

August 11, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Acts 4:18–31

Bottom line: When we pray based on what we know about God's person we can know God's presence and power. What we know about God determines what we pray to God and what we pray for from God. The early church knew God to be all powerful. The prayed and asked God for His power to be upon them so that the could speak the Word of God with boldness. They prayed in unison and unity. They prayed together, and God filled them with His Spirit and power.

First Things First

June 23, 2024 • Tyler Evatt • Genesis 15:1–6

World Winning Witness

June 30, 2024 • Curtis Epnett • Acts 1:8

Bottom line: The world winning witness of Jesus' soul saving gospel goes forth into all the world as those won to Christ win others to Christ.

Sarah's Faith

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Hebrews 11:11

Bottom line: A faith that judges God faithful will grow and experience the fulfilment of God's promise in His timing. Sarah's demonstration of faith teaches us some very important lessons: 1) To live by faith, you must judge God faithful 2) To live by faith, you must overcome your unbelief 3) If you live by faith, you can experience the impossible (i.e. God's possible) Sarah overcame her own unbelief. When she overheard God say that in one year she would have a child, she laughed. She literally laughed at what God said because she didn't believe. However, she overcame her unbelief as she judged God faithful. At the age of 90 she experienced the impossible. She gave birth to her firstborn son, Isaac. Isaac's name means laughter. She went from laughing at the promise to laughing with joy because the promise was fulfilled.

Parents Moved By Faith

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Hebrews 11:7

Bottom line: Parents moved by faith act to "save" their family. Heb. 11:7 shows us that Noah was a believer (a parent) that was moved by his faith to trust God's message about the future, act on what he believed, build an ark and ultimately save his family from future judgement and death and from the wickedness and spiritual dangers of the culture in which he lived. We can learn from Noah's example that we too can by faith "save" our family.

Jesus! He's All We Need

April 28, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Colossians 2:9–15

Bottom line: Jesus meets our deepest needs because Jesus is all we need. When we understand who Jesus is (Lord, Savior, Victorious King) and what He has to offer us (salvation, forgiveness, lordship, victory, etc.), then we don't have to look anywhere else to find what we truly need. In Jesus we have all that we need because Jesus is all we need.

Telling The World Who Jesus Is

April 21, 2024 • Dr. Neal Clark • Matthew 16:13–16

Do you talk to others about Jesus? When was the last time you did? God has called, entrusted, empowered, and enlightened us to tell the world about Jesus, who He is, and what He has done for us by grace. Tell the world about His person, power, promises, and provisions.

Going Public

April 14, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Acts 8:26–38

Bottom line: Believer's baptism is the means by which we go public with our faith in and saving relationship with Jesus. Believer's baptism is a public declaration of our association with Jesus. When new believers are baptized,. they declare that they are with Jesus and Jesus is with them. They declare they are associated with Jesus' message, movement, and mandate. Believer's baptism is a public shout of the believer's new identification in Christ; it's a public affirmation of faith in Christ, and it is a public demonstration of the cross of Christ.

The Sunday After Easter And He's Still Here

April 7, 2024 • Curtis Epnett • Matthew 18:20

It's a week after Easter and Jesus is still here. He is the midst when we gather together in His name.

I Am King!

March 24, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Mark 11:1–11

Bottom line: Jesus is King! But, He is only your saving King if you believe in, trust upon, and yield to Him. On Palm Sunday, Jesus declared Himself to be King not only of Israel but of all the world. He declared Himself King by fulfilling prophecy, cleansing the temple, performing miracles, and receiving the acclamation of men, women, and children. Jesus declared Himself King, but He was ultimately rejected by the Jewish leaders and crucified on a cross. However, He is now the resurrected King and will gladly be your king, if you will believe, trust, and yield to Him.
