What is God's will for your life in 2024? Healthy plants bear fruit, and healthy Christians and healthy churches bear fruit as well! John 15 challenges us to abide in Christ this year so that we can bear fruit for the glory of His name. Text: John 15:1-11 1. Every branch should produce fruit. John 15:1-2 - “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not...

We are in a Christmas series that asks the question, is it really joy to the world? The gospel is the greatest news that has ever been told, but it’s only good news to those who hear it and respond in belief. In this sermon Pastor Dan explains how the advent of King Jesus is joy to the world and our expectancy should be for His second advent. More joy is coming! Sermon Notes: Scripture: Luke 1:26-...

Jesus came into this world to be a joy to the world. Every follower of Jesus is called to share the good news of Jesus with the nations. We are all called to pray, give, send, and go! A hopeless world is crying out, "come and help us!" Sermon Notes: A Hopeless World Cries, “Come and Help Us!” Series: Joy to the World? Passage: Acts 16:1-10 Did you know? 3.4 Billion people don’t know the...

God calls every disciple of Jesus to take part in bringing about peace on earth by multiplying disciples across the globe. Jesus came to bring peace with God. The way this happens is through disciples multiplying by making more disciples, living like Jesus, and keeping their eyes on the prize. Sermon Notes: Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:1-10 This Christmas we remember that PEACE entered into this world a...

There are three areas of life that we need to be sure we have the right view of: the right view of money and possessions, the right view of eternity, and the right view of the loving Father. This looks like, first, cultivating the right view of money and possessions by avoiding the trappings of worldly wealth. Second, we cultivate a right view of eternity by preparing ourselves for the coming of t...

Pastor Dan Krause continues in our series on the book of James in chapter 4 and unpacks the nature of the battle for our hearts. Who will we submit to? Will Jesus be our Lord and master? Big Idea: We all fight the same battle and the keys to victory are humility and submission to God. 1. There is a battle that rages within us all. When we talk about a battle that rages within us all, we probably t...

Big Idea: If we want to glorify God, we must learn to control our mouths. 1. Pray for the leaders in the Church. 2. Nothing testifies to our fallen nature quite like our tongues 3. We can’t praise God if we are cursing His children. Colossians 4:6 - Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. Ephesians 4:29 - Let no corrupting t...

Spiritual life is not invisible. When you experience new spiritual life through faith in Christ you are given a new heart (2 Cor. 5:17), old things have passed away, all things have become new, you are raised to new life, and you are born again. This new reality of life in Christ WILL WORK ITSELF OUT in your life. This doesn’t look like perfection but it will certainly be reflected in progress in...

Partiality is in complete contradiction to the gospel. No one is able to save themselves – all are sinners, all are enemies of God. If Jesus was willing to die for the lowliest of sinners, the most wretched enemies of godliness, the most perverse, distorted, cruel, self-absorbed – with nothing to gain but pain. Then who am I to select who I’m going to serve or love based on what I think I may gain...

We continue our series in the Book of James and see that we are called to be "battleship Christians." Too often we are just a Christian ammo depot when we God calls us to be Christian battleships. We are called to love, serve one another, and obey by the power of Christ! Don't just be a hearer of the Word, be a doer. Challenge: How can we be different than the world? • Be quick to he...

The Book of James teaches us that trials are not without purpose. Actually, the proper handling of trials will lead to a stronger faith! In the midst of trials and suffering we must be careful of sin. God wants us to resist temptation at the heart level, the level of our desires, and avoid the maturation of sin. We know, that no matter the temptation or circumstance, the Lord gives us everything w...

The church is called to gather! But what should gatherings look like? Do we encourage new believers to assimilate into a local church? Do we tend to just go through the motions when we gather? Do we contribute to the unity of the Church? Is Christ the focus of my heart? October 8, 2023
