The Names of God: Week 6
August 20, 2023 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Jeremiah 23:5–6, Matthew 5:17–19, Romans 3:20–25, 2 Corinthians 5:21
This week we continue learning the Names of God. Some of us may question "are we right with God?" This is a very real question that we have more than likely asked at one time. Listen in as we learn another Name of God: Jehovah Tsidkenu - The Lord is our righteousness. Through God's Word, we learn that God sets the standard of what is right and wrong through God being the standard. The word also teaches us how we know if we are right before God. To live a happy and fulfilling life here on Earth, we must live to be Holy, because holiness is what brings true happiness.
The Names of God: Week 5
August 13, 2023 • Pastor Chris Pratt • John 10:27, Psalm 23, Isaiah 53:6
Ever felt lost or unsure? Join us in this eye-opening sermon as we dive into Psalm 23 and the concept of Jehovah Rohi – the Lord as our caring shepherd. Just like sheep need a shepherd, we all need guidance and care. Let's unravel the meaning behind each verse: finding rest in life's 'green pastures', discovering peace in 'still waters', and even facing our fears in the 'valley of shadows'. Learn how God's presence can transform our challenges into triumphs and how His provision is like a comforting feast. This message reminds us that when we follow His lead, goodness and mercy are by our side, and an eternal home awaits. Don't miss this inspiring journey of understanding and hope!
The Names of God: Week 4
August 6, 2023 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Judges 6:11–24, Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 4:6–9, 2 Corinthians 10:5
Do you need peace today? Join us this week as we continue in the series of learning the Names of God. This week we see in the Book of Judges that Jehovah Shalom is The Lord of Peace. We are what God declares us to be, not what our situation is. Peace isn't found when our problems or situations get better, peace is found in the presence of God. Diving into the Word of God teaches us what God says about us and taking our thoughts captive when the enemy try's to destroy our minds.

Lewis, highlighting the significance of forgiving others as God forgave us. Experience the transformative power of Jehovah Rapha's spiritual healing through 1 Peter 2:24 and Psalm 147:3.

July 23, 2023 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Ephesians 6:12, Exodus 17:9–16
Are you in a battle? Are you trying to figure out what to do? This week we dive in and learn Jehovah Nissi fights our battles. We are to look up to God in the valley and on the mountain top! To experience the victory we need the mountain and the valley. Prayer is our greatest weapon because it calls on our greatest warrior. We are not created to fight our battles alone. After listening to this sermon we see what to do when we are in a battle or how we can come along side of others if we are on the mountain top.
