Faith Stories 2023

If Acts is the continuation of Jesus' work, that means his earthly ministry was not just a prelude to the cross, but was the pattern for his rule – graciously healing, restoring, and saving as a preview of Jesus’ ultimate victory over sin and evil. In this sermon we look at "The Kingdom" from Acts 1:6-11.

Pastor Joey unpacks everything he had to cut from Sunday's sermon, the Introduction of our study on the Book of Acts.

This series is our study of the origin story of the church—the book of Acts! In this series we are exploring how the gospel spreads throughout the ancient world, and how it continues to spread around our world today. The whole time, we’ll keep asking ourselves this one question: who and where is the gospel sending me today?

Pastor Jeff shares practical application for "Overcoming the World" in our daily lives.

The Bible pictures us living in a sinful world that tempts us and battles against the Father's work and will and life. John encourages us that as God's children we really can have victory in that fight. Join us this Sunday as we look at what it means to "Overcome the World" from 1 John 2:12-17 & 5:4-5.

Pastor Joey interviews Pastor Nathan and they dig through the passage 1 John 2:18-25 on the topic of Maintaining Your Confession.

"Hold on!" John says to encourage the churches in their faith in Jesus in the midst of an uncertain world. "But how?" Let the truth that Jesus is the true Messiah abide in you. And remember the promise of life with our Father. The joy of eternal life outweighs any uncertainties we face in this life. This sermon "Maintain Your Confession" is from 1 John 2:18-25.

Pastor Joey let's us know what he had to cut from his sermon and answers two questions submitted from listeners.

Light and darkness, sin and righteousness, truth and lies--John uses all of these great contrasts to exhort us to "Walk in the Light". His argument is clear: God is light, so his followers should reflect that light. if instead we reflect darkness, are we truly his followers? In this sermon we'll tackle this question and more as we explore 1st John 1:5-10!

Pastor Joey shares a few great resources and books to read around the idea of small practices of sacrificial love.

"Love"--it's a great word, a wonderful idea, a heavy burden, and a huge responsibility. If God has loved us, John writes, then we ought to love each other. But how exactly has God loved us? And how do we love others like how God loved us? We'll explore all that and more in "Live in God's Love" from 1 John 4:7-11!

Pastor Jeff reflects on the message he preached on Sunday and how it relates to what he's walking through with the passing of his brother, Brad.

More than any other letter, 1 John talks about believers as “children of God,” often with affection and care. If we’ve come to know and share in Jesus’ resurrection life, what difference does it make in us? How do we live as children of God? In this sermon we explore what it means to “Share in God’s Life” from 1 John 1:1-4.

Guest teacher, Bruce Dick, preaches from Mark 5:1-20.

He is risen! This weekend we celebrate that the Way of the Cross does not end at the Cross, but continues through the grave and into new life! But Jesus's new life doesn't erase the suffering of the cross; to walk the Way of the Cross is to walk both in the suffering of Jesus and in his resurrection victory. Join us for "Jesus Alive!" from Matthew 28:1-20 as we rejoice in his victorious resurrection!

We have a new host this week for Cut for Time, Dan Breitwieser, interviews Pastor Nathan following his sermon on Sunday!

As Jesus is crucified, he is mocked and reviled by those around him. In his most vulnerable moments before death he is ridiculed by the crowd and even the robbers on the crosses next to him. A week before, crowds were shouting Hosanna, and now all Jesus hears is the taunts of the crowd. Join us this Sunday as we study Matthew 27: 38-44 and remind ourselves at the start of Holy Week that Jesus chose the Way of the Cross which includes mocking and humiliation.

Pastor Joey fields questions we had submitted and gives us some info on Simon of Cyrene.
