For Us, For Others #6 - Clean for a Purpose

In the 6th sermon of our "For Us, For Others" series, Pastor Daniel takes us to Titus 2:11-14. In this passage, we discover that God has shown us the grace, mercy and love through the gospel for a reason. God has saved (cleaned) us "ON PURPOSE." What is the point of salvation for all of us? He didn't just "clean us" to have a bunch of "clean" people running around. What is that purpose? Let's listen to what God has to tell us through His Word.

For Us, For Others #5 - There is no ”I” in TEAM

In the 5th sermon of our "For Us, For Others" series, Pastor Anthony shares out of Acts 6. In this passage, the early church has "exploded" and thousands of people are becoming disciples of Jesus Christ. They are meeting daily in people's homes, breaking bread and experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit to work miracles. These are truly awesome times! But, as usual, when things are going so well, the newly formed "church" reaches its first hurdle. The apostles are confronted with their first "complaint." Now, what do they do? How should they respond to this concern by the Hellenistic Jews? And, what can we learn from their actions and response? Let's listen to Pastor Anthony as he shares what the Lord has laid on his heart for us as the church of today...

For Us, For Others #4 - Are You Greedy?

In our 4th sermon of the "For Us, For Others" series, Pastor Anthony takes us to Luke 12:13-21, in which Jesus deal with covetousness and greed. In our society today, we look down on certain types of sin, while justifying or making little of others. But the fact is, greed is a big problem with us as human beings, whether we have a little or have a lot. Jesus, in this passage, let's us know that God is concerned with our heart, and what we do with what He has given us (little or much). It's all God's, anyways. So, the question is, "What will we do with what He has blessed you with?" Will you big bigger barns, or give away what you have? Let's listen to this important topic and see what His Word says to us all...

For Us, For Others #3 - Choose Jesus

In the third sermon of our "For Us, For Others" series, Pastor Daniel encourages us to stop trying to mix the ideologies of the world and of God. They will never mix, but will only cause confusion and strife in our lives. God has given us a message and we are meant to be an example of what it means to "be like Jesus." Let's listen to this powerful sermon, and then let's all CHOOSE JESUS!!!!

For Us, For Others #2 - Be Salt and Light

In the second sermon of our new series, "For Us, For Others," Pastor Anthony reminds and encourages us to do what Jesus says in Matthew 5 - be the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world." Not so that we can draw attention to ourselves, but to draw attention to Jesus and give Him glory. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is reminding us of the characteristics that true followers of Him should have, what we should be like. So, the question is, are we being the true salt and light that we need to be to a world lost in darkness and without flavor? Let's examine ourselves and listen to this powerful sermon.

Fresh Start #4 - Partnership

In the last sermon of our "Fresh Start" series, Pastor Daniel discusses our roles as the body of Christ together in the local church. In 1 Thessalonians 5:9-14, we are instructed to "encourage one another and build one another up." Why? Verse 9 says God has destined us obtain salvation. It's for the sake of the gospel that God has put us together. We all have a role to play, a purpose, and we need to all be about that for Him and for each other. We need to partner together and stay "on mission" for Him. Let's listen to this powerful message on partnership.

Fresh Start #3 - ”How do we Grow? - Read Your Bible”

In the third sermon of our "Fresh Start" series, Pastor Daniel encourages us to simply "Read Your Bible." Do you want to grow? Then the answer can be as simple, or complex, as that. Whether you are a brand-new believer, or a long-follower of Jesus, there are some steps that anyone can take to grow in their relationship with God. They are,

1a) Read your Bible for yourself daily (1 chapter)

1b) Read your Bible with your family (1 chapter)

2) Think about what the Bible is saying for you and those around you

3) Memorize the Bible so the Holy Spirit has something to remind you about when you need it.

4) Study the Bible (using Commentaries, Studies, etc.)

5) Disciple/Teach/Encourage others to do the same thing

Fresh Start #2 - ”Are You Alive?”

In our second sermon of our "Fresh Start" series, Pastor Daniel asks the simple (or seemingly simple) question, "What does it mean to be alive?" What signs or evidences are you exhibiting to show that you are truly alive? What does the Bible have to say about that? In many cases, the Word of God tells us that in order to be truly alive, we have to be willing to "lay our lives down," or "offer our bodies as living sacrifices." How does that play out for each of us? What about you? Are you really alive? Or do you just exist? Let's listen to Pastor Daniel as he shares with us from God's Word.

Fresh Start #1 - ”The Battle Is Not Yours”

In the first sermon of our annual series called "Fresh Start," Pastor Anthony shares with us from 2 Chronicles 20 and the story of King Jehoshaphat. In life, we all are going to face battles, and many times it may seem like we are facing an enemy that we could never defeat. In those moments, like King Jehoshaphat, may we each turn our faces to the Lord and seek Him. He will tell us the same thing that He said through the prophet to the King in verses 15 and 17, "Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's. You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you...Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you."

HEY CHURCH! THE LORD IS STILL WITH YOU!!!

God is Love - (Advent 4 - Love Candle)

In this last week before Christmas, we come to the candle of Love. If you listed all of God's characteristics, and tried to determine which one was the most dominant and truest of God, it would be His love. His love is the driving force behind all of God's interactions with mankind. Therefore, as God's beloved children, there are 3 things that we have as a direct result of His love for us.

1) Because of His love, we have been made friends of God.

2) As His friends, His plans and purposes are made known to us.

3) Part of God's great plans for us, we are supposed to be His ambassadors of love to               others.
