This week Pastor Micah started a new series call "You Belong Here". Throughout this series we will discuss the importance and significance of gathering together. Each week we will look at a different topic from scripture that describes the importance of gathering together as a part of a local church body!  In week 1 we focus on "gathering for encouragement". By looking at Hebre...

This past Sunday we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ. On Easter Sunday Pastor Micah finished our current series called "From the Ashes: Embracing the Full Life of God." Our lives can sometimes feel like they are a disappointing pile of ashes. We can be broken, shattered, and destroyed.  However, the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection is that we can experience ne...

Pastor Micah finishes up our current series 'How Does God Speak to Us?' with part 3 "God's Voice vs Satan's Voice." This week we focused on how to discern the difference between the voice of God and all of the rest of the noise in our lives. Scripture is full of examples of God's nature, especially as it relates to how God communicates with us. Based on the promi...

Pastor Micah continues on in our current series "How Does God Speak to Us?" In week 2 we focused on how God speaks to us through His "Still Small Voice.' God is still currently speaking to us today, the question is, are we listening? By looking at a story from Elijah's life in 1 Kings 19 we see that God often speaks to us in a quiet whisper. Elijah became so scared, anxiou...

Pastor Micah started a new series this week, "How Does God Speak to Us?" Through this series our goal is to help you realize it takes everyone time to learn how to hear and discern the voice of God. Each week will have a different focus and for week 1 we look at how we can better 'understand God's will for our lives.'  This week we discussed 4 different lenses that God use...

Pastor Micah looked at Mark 8:11-18 to see how 2 groups of people, the Pharisees and the Disciples, reacted following Jesus miraculous feeding of 4,000 people with just 7 loaves of bread. Neither the Pharisees or the Disciples could see what Jesus had just done right in front of their eyes. Specifically, the Pharisees were unwilling to see what Jesus was doing. While the Disciples were inattentive...

Pastor Micah answers one of the most frequently asked questions he is asked as a pastor, "What is my purpose in life?" Pastor Micah shares about how we're all created with a purpose, but we're often hit with the tension between what God calls us to do and what we would rather do. Following Jesus involves risk & tension. By looking at 2 Peter chapter 1 we find Paul encouragi...

Chisholm Assembly of God observed this week as 'Sanctity of Human Life' Sunday. Pastor Micah took time to examine the most important issue of our day, and what our Biblical world view should be about life. The view that we have about life intertwines with virtually every other issue we face today. The world view that most people have been taught within our secular culture says that life...

Pastor Micah helped us kick off our corporate 15 days of prayer and fasting by sharing a message entitled "Why Do We Fast?" In this message Pastor Micah looked at 8 different stories from scripture that helped us realize 9 different reasons why we fast. This is by no means an exhaustive list of why we fast, but gives a very clear introduction to why we fast. Pastor Micah also shared vari...

Pastor Micah shared a messaged entitled "Can I Ask You A..." In this message he challenged us to confidently and boldly approach God in His throne room of grace in our prayer lives! Not to come before God sheepishly or with disbelief, but to have full faith, belief, and trust that God can do what He tells us He is able to do in His Word. Our main verse for this message is found in Hebrew...

Pastor Micah started 2022 off by sharing a message entitled "New Year Same Gospel"! In this message he used passages from the book of Galatians to share what the gospel really is, what it's not, and what we should do with it. While everything in our world in constantly changing, there is one thing which remains the same, the Gospel message.  While there are many versions of a false...

We had our "Christmas at Home" online only service on Christmas Weekend. Throughout this service we joined together for a time of worship, and reflection on the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Pastor Micah Reed and Youth Pastors Bethani & Brad Monson discussed two main questions for the message portion of the service: What is your favorite part of the Christmas story, or...

Pastor Micah shared a Christmas Eve message entitled "What's In A Name?" Throughout our Christmas Eve service we focused on the 4 different names that Isaiah prophesied over the coming Messiah in Isaiah 9:6, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. In his message, Pastor Micah focused on how Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God, and what t...

We had a great time this year at our Christmas Family Service as we focused on the topic of Jesus being our "Prince of Peace." Our kids performed 'The 12 Days of Christmas in Minnesota' and 'Happy Birthday Jesus.' Pastor Laura shared a kid's lesson explaining how Jesus is our 'Prince of Peace' just like Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 9:6. Pastor Micah look...

Pastor Micah shared a Christmas message that he believes to be perfectly timed for this year! Christmas can be a time of fear? It certainly was for Joseph! Matthew 1:18-25 looks at Joseph's response to Mary's pregnancy. We can learn that through Joseph’s story that even in their fear, uncertainty, and difficult decisions that they can trust God and find hope in Him to save them and to be...

Pastor Micah finished our current series called "Joshua: Be Strong & Courageous." The book of Joshua is an exciting looking at ancient Israelite history; a pivotal era when the chosen people finally begin claiming the Promised Land after centuries of waiting, slavery, and wandering in the wilderness. Joshua was an intimidated new leader, replacing the legendary Moses, in a book that...

Pastor Micah (Woody from 'Toy Story') shared a message entitled "Monster in Me." He took time to discuss a battle that each and every person faces. We're constantly in a battle which starts in our mind, a battle of our sinful nature (our flesh) against the Spirit of God that lives within us. By looking at Paul's teaching in Romans chapter 7 and 8 we learn how 'to...

Pastor Micah shared a message entitled "Outcast" as we continue on in our Mission's Month at Chisholm Assembly of God. Statistics say that only 17% of people 'enjoy hanging out with people not like them.' That's a sad statistic when we think about how Jesus taught us to treat people that are not like us. By looking at Mark 2:13-17 we can pull out 3 different perspecti...
