Colossians: The Gospel at Work - Pastor Marius Mauthe 01.05.2023 33:46

Pastor Marius gives us a strong challenge this week from the book of Colossians, are you seeing the fruit that you hoped for when you started following Christ? Much like the church at Colossae, we are tempted to take shortcuts looking for quick results but God's Kingdom requires consistent and intentional investment to produce good and lasting fruit. When we keep to the real truth of the gospel, i...

Colossians: Secure Hope - Pastor Bronson Duke 24.04.2023 32:18

Because of the finished work of Jesus, we have hope, and this hope enables us to live an abundant life of faith and love. As we realize the reward in his finished work, we are empowered to live with purpose and unity for the kingdom instead of living for ourselves. " Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But...

Colossians: Discovering Orthodoxy - Pastor Bronson Duke 17.04.2023 38:55

As we explore the book of Colossians together we will discuss the importance of our traditions and how we can use them as a guide in our personal walk with God. God has set out a life of faith and practice for us in the library of scripture that, when followed, leads us into a life of internal peace and external fruitfulness. We have all experienced the negative pressures of misguided theology, so...

Easter: The Stories Are True - Pastor Bronson Duke 10.04.2023 40:22

The resurrection of Jesus means peace for our souls, purpose for our lives and hope for our futures. In his parting words to the disciples he told them to go tell all of creation what they had witnessed and learned from their time with him. Through the victory Jesus won on the cross we are all empowered to partner with him in bringing the same refreshing hope of heaven to the world around us. " Th...

Palm Sunday - Pastor Bronson Duke 03.04.2023 33:19

Jesus is the ultimate king who follows through on his promises and is worthy of sacrifice and praise. When we are distracted from that we can lose purpose and end up staying places way too long that we were never supposed to live, only pass through. The message of the Bible – and the focus of Palm Sunday – is that God wants to be our King. And when he is king, everything will be brought to the wa...

Living with a Mission - Pastor Marius Mauthe 27.03.2023 34:40

God has called us to live an intentional life of mission and purpose. In 1 Corinthians we see Paul chooses to lay down his financial, religious, and cultural rights – making himself a SLAVE to people he is not indebted to – so they might see the love of Christ through him. As we lay down our preferences, we help others receive their inheritance. " Though I am free and belong to no one, I have mad...

Standing on God's Promises - Pastor Bronson Duke 20.03.2023 42:25

How many of us have failed over and over and over again as we try to be more holy, patient, kind, caring, gentle, selfless? How do we, when we fail time and time again, actually establish lasting change in our life? We receive the power to change when we rely on the transforming promises of God rather than our own will, wisdom, and self-control to overcome the flaws of our own humanity. "I thank m...

Walking with God Through Pain - Pastor Robert Upshaw 13.03.2023 36:46

We know that in this life we will face pain and trials but God promises to provide for us and cover all of our needs. We are called to live in hope, to stay in the fight and live from a heart and mindset of victory and we can know that joy will come. “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is t...

Humans: Staying in Awe - Pastor Kevin Atkinson 06.03.2023 35:11

It is easy to lose our passion, zeal, and awe for God as we get caught up in life and tangled in its challenges. Today, Pastor Kevin Atkinson challenges us to keep our perspective of reverence for our Lord. The Bible shows us many examples of God’s people thinking they can achieve success, power, and holiness without him. We must be vigilant in keeping Christ as our one King and maintain humility...

Humans: Faith & Cynicism - Pastor Bronson Duke 27.02.2023 38:50

Cynicism is a deadly poison in the well of faith. In Matthew 16, Jesus warns us of the danger of hitching ourselves to a negative culture that will spread through our lives and bloat it with sin and death. The cure for cynicism is to set up altars that point us back to him in the place of the idols that rob us. "I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear. I remember the days of old. I ponder a...

Humans: God Wants a Fruitful Me - Pastor Justin Free 20.02.2023 37:47

The more we give God, the more he has for us. When we start to produce good fruit is when he wants to start pruning us to make our fruit even better. For us to have healthy relationships, strong marriages, it starts with a healthy YOU. We’re asking God today as a church, “What in me needs to go so I can grow?” “...and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.” John...

Humans: Rooted in Relationships - Pastor Duane Clayton 13.02.2023 38:14

Sin and internal conflict leads to conflict with other people dealing with sin & conflict. Dealing with conflict is often the most difficult part of maintaining healthy relationships. All of us have humanity that will cause us to chase our desires even if they are outside of God’s will for our lives. However, if we can engage in healthy conflict, God can use it to change us and others and invi...
