Pastor Jason is a guess from Tulsa, with a great message about facing your fears.

We must remember that the Word is our offensive weapon and is given to us so we can defeat the enemy. Did you know that 62% of the population doesn’t believe the devil exists? As we conclude this portion of our series on Ephesians dealing with spiritual warfare, I want to make sure we know he’s real and he’s nasty. However, we don’t need to be scared. We only need to pray in Jesus’ name and take a...

Message from Pastor Bruno Ponce, on Prov 16:1-3 Follow God.

Every piece of the armor of God is chosen in such a way as to protect us from Satan's attacks. Remember that Satan accuses, tempts us, and deceives us. As we prepare for the battle, we must be dressed for spiritual victory, protected from the enemy's fiery arrows. And to tie this back into relationships, do not let Satan destroy the relationships that have been built. It is through these r...

There is no magic pill. There is no easy way out. When it comes to spiritual warfare, it's real and we must be ready for the fight. There is a battle for your soul and God is giving you all you need to stand firm and fight the enemy. We don't have to do it all by ourselves, but we must do it. It's no mistake that this teaching comes on the heals of Paul's teaching on relationships....

The Apostle Paul's teachings on family and work relationships are just as relevant today as they were when he wrote them. As we seek to live out our Christian faith in our daily lives, we must learn to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Whether we are children honoring our parents or employers treating our employees with kindness, we must remember we are serving each other. God...

Message from Sunday morning, with Ceresa Callender, a recap about the weekend conference.

If you think people aren't looking at our marriages, you're crazy. Marriage is a glimpse into the relationship between Christ and the church. Are we loving each other, being faithful to each other, submitting to one another? Let's pray that God would make our marriage relationships strong so we can Be an accurate representation of the love that exists between Christ and the church.

We should always strive for the attitude of the disciples on that first Palm Sunday: willing to do as Jesus commands and easily point to him as king. There is a warning for us in the attitudes of the others. We need to be cautious with having the attitude of the crowd: caught up in emotions and always trying to force what we think is God’s agenda. We should also avoid the pharisaical attitude. Don...

The cross is not foolishness, it is our salvation. There may be a lot of things that we don’t understand, but remember, God accomplished that which was impossible when He went to the cross and died for our sins and was raised to life again. He did for us what we couldn’t do for ourselves. If we are to sum up the message of Easter, it is so much more than the fact that Jesus died on the cross for o...

We live in a world that is full of busyness and clatter. People are distracted and unable to hear the still, small voice of God as he speaks to them. What about you? Are you tuned in to God’s voice? Do you hear him when he speaks to you? Are you listening? Are you connected to the Holy Spirit in such a way that you have learned true Godly wisdom?

We have to accept and embrace the truth about God's calling.

Everything within the earth that is ordinary atomic matter lives in what is called a tardyon realm. No matter how hard we try, we can never achieve the speed of light. The reason is, according to Einstein, that the faster we travel, the more dense in mass we become and therefore it would take an infinite amount of energy to move an infinitely increasing mass. This has been scientifically proven. O...

Are we beginning to see how the life of a believer is simply lived different? CS Lewis said, “We may give our human loves the unconditional allegiance which we owe only to God. Then they become gods: then they become demons. Then they will destroy us, and also destroy themselves. For natural loves that are allowed to become gods do not remain loves. They are still called so, but can become in fact...

How hard are we willing to hold on to the unforgiveness? Are you willing to acknowledge your need for forgiveness and in turn forgive those who have wronged you? Will you take another step closer to Jesus today and allow the Holy Spirit to change your heart to be more like His?

A life lived in Christ is exemplified by honesty, integrity, and proper speech. When we let Christ have control of our lives, the way we live will be a life governed by truth and righteousness. It's not that these things make you a good Christian, they are simply the fruits of a life lived in Christ. Won't you turn your life over to Jesus today?

Mission focus this sunday morning, what a great opportunity to know what the church of the Nazarene does as a mission capability.

A life lived in Christ is exemplified by truth and righteousness. We must be careful not to misunderstand that we are saved through these things, or that by doing them we are automatically considered Christ followers. When we let Christ have control of our lives, the way we live will be a life governed by truth and righteousness. A life where we don't quarrel and recognize who our fight is with. W...

Once you have received Christ, truly received him, and grasped the glory of the gospel, your life will be changed. Paul reminds us that we should not go back to the old way of doing things. We can't go back to our old habits and hang-ups. We must take off the "old self" and put on the "new self." The call of Jesus is to leave our old, sinful ways behind and cling to the new life he is offering us....

We are all part of the unified body of believers, each serving their part in spreading the gospel message. Will you examine your own heart today? What part has God asked you to be in this body?

Pastor Mark Ramsey gave a awesome word about the Love of God.

We are wrapping up our fifth year of ministry here. When we moved here, the kids were 11, 8, and 6. Fast forward 5 years and Morgan is a sophomore in high school, Mati is in 8th grade and Cayden started middle school! There's something bittersweet about the independence that comes with age. I want to look back over the last year and remember where we have been and how much God has moved us in 2022...

As we look at the new year, what will our priorities be in 2023? In this new year, we must continue to press on in our relationship with Christ. This can happen if we are disciplined and don't grow complacent. May we approach every day of 2023 hungry for a deeper relationship with our Lord and savior, Jesus.

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, may we let the message of His coming infiltrate every area of our lives in such a way that it impacts the world around us. As we rejoice this Christmas day may we celebrate this perfect gift of Christ’s birth, and look forward with eager anticipation to His return!

Jesus came to earth 2,000 years ago and someday will come again. As Christ-followers we are to proclaim the amazing truth that Christ came to earth to be the Savior and will come again to reign as King.
