Faith Stories Summer 2023 - Mom in the Marketplace

And now the action begins! The apostles, with their number newly refilled, are anxious to start the mission of the kingdom of God. But they can’t do this on their own. As Jesus promised, they need power—and now the power comes, and the results are astonishing. Join us for “The Power” from Acts 2:1-13!

Pastor Joey takes us verse by verse to give us some more insight to the passage and answers a few of Claire's questions. This is a long episode, we hope that you'll stick with us!

What a story! But why is it in our Bibles? Just for the shock value of what happened to Judas? Or is there more to the story? Join us for “The Twelve” from Acts 1:12-26, as we explore the connection this story has with Israel in the past and the kingdom of God in the future!

Tom Waltz Faith Story 2023 - "In the Early Days"

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.
