A Jesus-Astonishing Faith You've been given a faith that astonishes Jesus, a faith that makes it possible for you to see the glory of God when you look at other Christians and even when you look in the mirror.

What if, when it seems like there's no way to win, there's a new opportunity to see Gods glory?   Dig into Mark 12:13-17 and see Jesus "Level Up."   2.20.22 Message from Fort Atkinson  Pastor Nate Abrahamson

Whoa!   Flipping over tables and benches.....stopping people in their tracks... apparently Jesus was awfully passionate about something happening in the temple!    He's just as passionate about what is happening in our world and our lives today. Mark 11:15-18 clues us into to how we can see God's glory by asking, "What Would Jesus Undo?"   2.13.22  Message from Cottage Gro...

Life's storms - we all have them.     There is no better solution than to place our problems in God's hands and allow Him in His wisdom and love to send the kind of rescue we need.    Mark 6:45-52  2.6.22 Message from Cottage Grove  Pastor Nathan Krause

When the Storm Hits...   Sometimes there's a force against you making it nearly impossible to move forward. Sometimes the wind is so strong it feels like you're going to break. But in these moments you can ask, "What does God, in this storm, want me to see?"   Mark 6:45-52  2.6.22 Message from Fort Atkinson  Pastor Nate Abrahamson

Jesus can be offensive....in the best way! With His words and actions, Jesus can be offensive to us. Through faith, however, we see the beauty of who He is and what He does for us! Mark 6:1-3 1.30.22 Message from Fort Atkinson Pastor Nathan Krause

"Life is one big awkward situation. The more you embrace it, the better it will be." Okay, that may just be a goofy life motto that Pastor A lives by. Yet, Mark 6:1-3 can help us see the beauty of embracing the "Warning: Awkward Moment." 1.30.22 Message from Cottage Grove Pastor Nate Abrahamson

Impossible.... Almost We might feel like we're beyond repair or like we'll never break free, but Jesus came to show us what happens "When Pigs Fly." Mark 5:18-20 1.23.22 Message from Fort Atkinson Pastor Nate Abrahamson

So Merciful!   As amazing as it would be to see Jesus drive out a demon, what is even more amazing is the mercy that He showed and continues to show us today!    Mark 5:18-20 1.23.22 Message from Cottage Grove Pastor Nathan Krause

As we wrestle every day with being sinners in a sinful world, Jesus comes and says "I have the cure and I want to heal you." But it doesn't start with our legs, it starts with our hearts. He came to forgive all of our sins. Mark 2:8-12 1.16.22 Message from Fort Atkinson Pastor Nathan Krause

As good as that was ....what if there's more?   All those special ways that God comes through for us now are little glimpses of the healing that is to come!    Mark 2:8-12  1.16.21 Message from Cottage Grove  Pastor Nate Abrahamson

Jaw Dropping Jesus isn't just any teacher. He's the Key Piece to all the Scriptures. He gives the meaning and purpose to our lives. With that kind of authority comes real power.  This lesson launches our new Epiphany series, "Hidden Glory." It might always be that easy to see, but when we're tuned in, we'll see Jesus' glory again and again. Mark 1:21-28 1.9.22 Message from Fort Atkinson Pasto...

Amazing!  When Jesus teaches, it's absolutely amazing! Pastor Krause takes us to an event recorded in Mark 1:21-28 where everyone is blown away by Jesus as He teaches. This lesson kickstarts our new Epiphany series "Hidden Glory." It may not always be easy to see, but when we're tuned in, we can see the glory of Jesus again and again.

God wants us to grow up and mature, like His own Son did. Humble and willing to submit to the Father's will, growing up spiritually and acknowledging that God gives us comfort and hope today! Luke 2:51-52 1.2.22 Message from Fort Atkinson Pastor Nathan Krause

It's not over yet!  Whether your tree is already down or you’ll still be celebrating for weeks yet, there come times for all of us where it seems like it’s all over. But He is providing. He is preserving. He is giving you life!   1) When you look at Jesus’ life, see that He entered into your story. Through faith, now your story is connected to His!  2) The evil powers in this world...

We've been here before! Pastor Krause compares the history of God's chosen people, Israel, and the life of His Son. We see how God protects them from the slaughter of innocents by sending them to Egypt and how we can trust Him today to protect us. 12.26.21 Message from Cottage Grove Pastor Nathan Krause

Merry Christmas Eve!  Pastor A shares a message from Colossians 1:15-20 to help us see clearly what took place when Jesus was born!   12.24.21 Christmas Eve Message from Fort Atkinson  Pastor Nate Abrahamson
