Sermons

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Cultural Adaptability, Gospel Solidarity” from 1 Corinthians 9:19-27.  How far will love for the unsaved go?  In this passage, Paul shows us what it looked like to reach the lost with the uncompromising truth of the Gospel.  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Loving Way to be Right” - Part 2 from 1 Corinthians 9:1-18.  We've all experienced the know-it-all who has to get his or her way.  You don't find much peaceful unity around that person.  This week God's Word helps us see the right way to be right.  A gospel-driven love and humility will act for the well-being and good of others. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Loving Way to be Right’ from 1 Corinthians 8.  Have you ever been around the kind of person who always has to be right?  Even if he/she is right, they demonstrate the wrong way to be right.  In the end, they are repugnant and people are polarized.  Do Christians ever struggle with the battle to be right?  In our new section of 1 Corinthians, God's Word gives us...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Thriving in Christian Singleness” from 1 Corinthians 7:25-40.  Do we put Christian marriage on a higher pedestal than Christian singleness?  Is that how God thinks of singleness? In this message we finish the section (chapters 5-7) pertaining to marriage and singleness by seeing how God plans for Christian singles to thrive.  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Grow Where You Are” from 1 Corinthians 7:17-24. Is it a challenge to be content with your lot in life?  It is easy to glance side to side, see the prizes that God has given to others, and wish we could have what they have.  In this section of chapter 7, God calls us to realize that we ultimately have the greatest of gifts already so that we can thrive wherever He h...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Single, Married, Divorced…To the Glory of God” from 1 Corinthians 7:8-16.  It's amazing how sufficient the Word of God is concerning each area of life.  As we continue in our study of 1 Corinthians 7, Paul shows us how to live for the glory of God no matter what relationship status we find ourselves in.  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Bible, Sex, and Marriage” from 1 Corinthians 7:1-7. We know that sin has effected everything in creation, including marriage.  But, God has graciously and wisely given us His Word which is sufficient for life and godliness. 

Ryan Fullerton brings the message, "Jesus Builds the Faith of Failures” from Matthew 17:14-27.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "For the Glory of God” from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. What would you say is your purpose in life?  Do you realize that no matter where you are or what you've done, God still gives you purpose to carry out? In a passage that starts with correction concerning sexual immorality, Paul leads us to the important principle that Christ bought us so that we might live for the g...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Be Who Christ Saved You to Be” from 1 Corinthians 6:1-11.  Are there ever any disputes between Christians?  Yep!  Disagreements happen.  But, God has a plan that does not include taking your brother to court.  Instead, be who Christ saved you to be: a selfless follower of Him who will humbly get help from those in the church to settle the problem. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Do What’s Right, Not What’s Easy” from 1 Corinthians 5.  In returning to our study of 1 Corinthians we come to chapter 5 where Paul instructs the church on how to respond to egregious sin from one of its members.  The removal of a church member due to sin is never easy or convenient, but it is necessary in order to pursue purity in the church.

Tom Siefert brings the message, "Kissing Jesus” from Matthew 26:47-49.  The Communion service is intended to be a hallowed moment in our spiritual lives.  It is the way Jesus told us to remember him during his absence from the earth.  Yet it is more than just a ritual we follow once a month, it is an opportunity for us to express our love back to him for all he has done for us.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Grace for the Humble” from James 4:1-10. The end of a year often gives us time to reflect.  What did you see God doing in your heart this past year?  In what way is He growing you?  What are you praying for concerning the year ahead?  An absolute necessity for God to continue His work of growth and sanctification in our lives is humility.  Good thing He gives grace...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christmas Love” from 1 John 4:9-10. This message is a study of God's love to us in the coming of Jesus. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christmas Joy” from Psalm 4 and John 15:1-11.  The season with all of its festivities is ramping up as we get closer and closer to Christmas.  Christmas parties, choir concerts, and gift exchanges are putting smiles on our faces. But, does God give us a joy that goes beyond the thrills of the season? Yes, He does and on Sunday we'll study this theme of Biblical joy...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christmas Peace" from Ephesians 2:11-17.  In our second Christmas sermon, we will cover the theme of Biblical peace that comes down from heaven.  In Isaiah 9:6 we are told that the Son is the Prince of Peace to His people, and since that is the case, shouldn't there be a unique peace that accompanies our lives?  This Sunday w...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christmas Hope” from Romans 5:1-5.  We begin our Christmas series starting with the Biblical theme of Hope.  Christmas truly is a wonderful season that we try to fill with all sorts of celebration and happiness.  But, God has given His people a promise that the future eternal benefits we have through Christ will be so beautiful and glorious that if we could see the...

Pastor Stephen brings the message, "The Wonderfully Uncomfortable Path of Repentance” from 2 Corinthians 6:16b-7:13a.  Pastor Stephen brings the message, "The Wonderfully Uncomfortable Path of Repentance" from 2 Corinthians 6:16b-7:13a.  Acknowledging our sin isn't necessarily fun. Having others acknowledge our sin certainly isn't fun. And then internally dealing with the reality of our sin, and l...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Create in Me a Clean Heart” from Psalm 51.  In our third message concerning repentance we will look at the Biblical response to sin found in Psalm 5.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Seek God and Live” from the book of Amos.  This week we will turn to the book of Amos and do a fly-over of it in one sermon.  Like last week (Joel), the theme of repentance once again comes to the surface.  What does it look like to practice regular repentance?  And, where do I even start?  We'll explore those questions this Sunday.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Rend Your Heart, Not Your Garments” from Joel. We're taking a break from 1 Corinthians until after the holidays and starting a short series in the minor prophets.  This week our sermon will cover the book of Joel where God calls us to practice repentance at the core of who we are: the heart.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "A Powerful Weakness” from 1 Corinthians 4:9-21. The first section of Paul's letter comes to a close with a climactic statement that the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.  In other words, the measure of a person's walk with God is not determined by what he says but by the power of God at work in his life. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Servants and Stewards" from 1 Corinthians 4:1-5.  In our study of 1 Corinthians, we've seen that there have been weird loyalties in the church to leaders like Paul, Apollos, and Peter.  Certainly not helpful to the unity of God's people, then or now!   As he closes out this first section of the letter, Paul shows us what leaders in the church are to be: servants of...

Pastor Andy brings the message, “Take Care How You Build” from 1 Corinthians 3:10-23.  Not all buildings are of the same quality, even though they may be complete. What matters is the material used in construction. Paul uses this metaphor to warn and encourage us as we build the Church for God's glory and with God's resources. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, “Time to Grow Up” from 1 Corinthians 3:1-9.  You've seen the toddler who has to have it his way.  That little guy can disrupt a room full of people. In the church, Christians can act like toddlers and it can cause all kinds of division.  In this first section of 1 Corinthians (chapters 1-4), God's Word continues to lead us away from our sinfulness in order to find u...
