Peace Part 2

August 30, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

No matter what's happened in your life, no matter how bad of a past you have, Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was enough for you. God can still forgive you and give you eternal life. In Him, as Pastor Bill's going to show you today, is a hope for salvation and a peace that passes understanding. It's a peace you can have today, and it's a peace that the world and its sorrows and trials can't take away. It's yours if you want it, and all you have to do is come to God in humility, turn from your sins, and accept it.

Peace Part 1

August 29, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

Only God can give true peace that the world can't take away. His peace is forever because He gives true rest for eternity for your soul. Today, Pastor Bill is going to point out that Jesus is The Prince of Peace Himself. To be totally transformed and be saved and to find the strength to keep running the Christian race afterward, you don't have to look any farther than Him. Ask Him to change you. Let Him have control in your life. Spend time in His Word, and let His peace flow over your life.

Community Commandments Part 2

August 28, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

There's never an end to all of the work that can be done for God's Kingdom while you're still here on earth. You can always be growing in your walk with Him by spending time in His Word and doing what it says. You can always be reaching the lost with the same hope for eternity that you have. Today, Pastor Bill's going to remind you that once your life on earth is over, that's when those opportunities will be no more. That's when you'll be judged for all the things you did on earth, both good and bad.

Who you spend time with matters to God. He calls you to live like Jesus and to go into all the world to preach The Kingdom of God. While there are moments you need to be reaching the lost to lead more to Christ, you need to be careful who you spend your other time with. Today, Pastor Bill's going to warn you against other believers who don't live according to what God's Word says. They affect others, but not in a positive way. Be on your guard against those that are close to you that can hurt your faith.

The church serves many different functions. It's a great place to find fellowship with others and has become a community where people can enjoy food together. In today's message, Pastor Bill talks about how we can use our gifts and talents to serve and 'feed' others. Service always involves work. As the scripture says, 'He who won't work, won't eat', and this holds true even in the church. By getting involved in the lives of others, we 'feed' them God's love, which is the most satisfying meal they'll ever have.

A group of people who endured the hardships of the Great Depression and WW II are commonly known as "The Greatest Generation."

Today, Pastor Bill refers to these people as 'slackers' and emphasizes the importance of welcoming them. Through Bible teaching, they can learn to become 'trackers.'

When you learn a martial art you are told to practice through repetitious movements.

That is you, should know what the Bible says so much that when you get in a tough situation “muscle memory” kicks in and you just know what the Word says to do.

August 12, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

Sometimes people will say things so much that you stop believing them. Eventually, they will say something and you respond with a “prove it!” In today’s message, Pastor Bill reminds you that love is not just what you say, but it’s what you do. You may say you love the Lord and believe what the Bible says, but your actions may say something completely different. If you say you are a follower of Christ but you continue to live a life of sin, do you really love Him, or is it just lip service?
