"Forgiveness" is one of those words that is generally assumed that Christians are supposed to do. Are we always supposed to forgive? What are the two levels of forgiveness? Join us as we talk through Christ's example and the parable of the Unmerciful Servant.
Rescuing a Believer in Sin
May 26, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
It should break our hearts to see a brother or sister entrenched in unrepentant sin. But did you know that we as members of a church body have a role in rescuing them from their sin? Come Sunday and hear how we as the church body are held responsible for each other's spiritual health.
Clearing the Stumbling Blocks to Christ
May 19, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
God paid the ultimate price to save His people from their sins by giving His only Son. This Sunday we'll see how to examine our own lives to see if how we live actually puts up barriers between people and the cross of Christ.
The Invaluable Beauty of Womanhood
May 12, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
Womanhood is an invaluable gift, one God created full of beauty and with a specific design and purpose. Pastor Steve looks at the way both men and women together carry out God's purpose in creation to bring glory to Himself.
Who's the Greatest?
May 5, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
Is it a sin to desire greatness? What kind of greatness do we aspire to? Anytime we ask ourselves that kind of question, we must search the motives of our heart. What makes Christ's answer to the question in Matthew 18:1 so surprising?
Citizen of Heaven or Citizen of Earth?
April 28, 2019 • Pastor Aaron Bolduc
As Christians living on this Earth, we deal with dual citizenship. We long to be in Heaven with our Savior, but we are placed here on this Earth. Is it possible to be citizens of both?
Easter Sunday: Just as He Said
April 21, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
There is great power in words, even moreso when they are uttered by Jesus Christ Himself. That Christ conquered death displays immense power, but the fact that He said He would underlines and highlights His power to make and keep incredible promises. Promises for you.
The Essence of Faith
April 14, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
We've heard it said that faith can move mountains. There's an idea out there that if we don't receive what we pray for, our faith isn't great enough. Jesus turns that idea upside down when he heals the demon-possessed boy in Matthew 17. This Sunday we look at three attitudes of faith we must have when we pray.
The Great Exchange
April 7, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
What would someone have to offer you to give up your worldly desires, goals or ambitions? Christ makes that offer. The question is, are willing to exchange our lives for what He offers, and trust Him to be faithful to what He promises. What does it take to make that "Great Exchange." Please take time to check out the amazing testimony of former Michigan State linebacker Chris Norman, and why he said "No" to the NFL.
The Church Triumphant
March 31, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
What is the reason we gather together as a church? Why did Christ set up the "assembly" the way He did, and what does that mean to us today? We will look at three critical truths we all must reconcile in terms of the church.
Pursuing Who You Are
March 24, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
"Know thyself" is a common aphorism that causes us to examine our own lives to determine their value. What danger is there when we attempt to order our lives outside of the context of what God? What suffers when we focus on our own pursuits and desires? Join us Sunday as we talk about our true identity in Christ.
Carrying the Cross
March 17, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
"Who do you say I am?" It's the question we all must reconcile when it comes to what we believe about Jesus. If we say He is our Savior, He tells us to deny ourselves and carry our cross and follow Him. So what does that look like?
Growing Spiritually in God's Sovereignty
March 10, 2019 • Pastor Steve Gibson
"Be careful," Jesus says in Matthew 16. He knew that his disciples walked dangerously close to overlooking their spiritual well-being to focus on their physical needs. Do we really trust the sovereignty of God to take care of us? Why would God want us to be careful in regard to our spiritual growth?
What Jesus Has Time For
March 3, 2019 • Jake Boerman
We're back in the book of Matthew this week with the story of someone who cried out to Jesus in a time of terrible suffering. We will see the way Christ interacts with her and see a couple of fascinating lessons He demonstrates. These lessons serve as an example for how we can make time for others in our lives who need Christ.
Trusting God to Lead
February 24, 2019 • John Klumpp
God is always leading. He is always ahead of us, no matter where we are in the circumstances of life. This Sunday, we will break from our series in Matthew to look at the story of the Israelites in the wilderness, and see three important ways we can know God is actively leading in our lives, in our families, and in our churches.
