Sign Me Up
November 12, 2023 • Pastor Carl • Isaiah 6:1–8
Most people have heard something so good or so moving that they said "Sign me up"! However, most people do not volunteer without hearing the details, thinking through the implications, schedule, and more. Isaiah, however, said to the Lord "sign me up" without even knowing any details. The result was a life filled with impact and meaning for multiple nations, leaders and people--of which we are still blessed today.
How do we become like Isaiah and tell the Lord "sign me up"--without creating obstacles that delay or even prevent us from actually working for the Lord?
In the this message, Pastor Carl shares what Isaiah saw that changed everything. If we can see what Isaiah saw, that will change everything for us too.
You're not the Boss of Me
November 5, 2023 • Pastor Carl • Acts 4:18–20
Many of us have said at one time, "you're not the boss of me". Usually it is towards someone whose authority we don't respect--whether it was legitimate or not. In Acts 4, Peter and John, in essence told the religious leaders "you're not the boss of us" and prioritized the commands of the Lord Jesus than the religious and cultural leaders.
Today, believing followers of Christ, experience challenges with the cultural authorities, governmental authorities, and event religious trends and the majority-based, social media influenced authority it conveys. But like Peter and John, believers today need to have a mindset of (and perhaps even say) "you're not the boss of me" and prioritize what the Lord has already said and is saying.
In this message, Pastor Carl shares how that mindset looks and how to grow into it so to be better representatives for the Lord.

September 17, 2023 • Pastor Carl • Joshua 1
