2nd Corinthians Chapter 5 // Evaluating a Ministry
To expect perfection in Christians or the church is unrealistic, but there are some standards that we should be looking for. Continuing our study in 2nd Corinthians, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Chapter 5 entitled “Evaluating a Ministry” that describes the way we should view ministries as well as individual Christians. When evaluating a ministry…1) never judge a book by it’s cover, 2) make sure there's a little crazy, 3) our approach to the ministry needs to change just like our approach to Jesus has changed, and 4) remember, none of them are perfect. We hope this message encourages you to focus on the right things when evaluating the ministries and Christians you cross paths with!

We were reminded last week about God’s comfort in the midst of our sufferings. Continuing our study in 2nd Corinthians, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Chapter 1 entitled “Agents of Comfort” that exhorts us to comfort others in their difficult times. In order to be agents of God’s comfort we need to…1) pay attention to what’s happening outside our bubble, 2) always be pointing people to Jesus, and 3) give others an opportunity to join in. To bring even more light to the reality of these verses, our special guest Marzena Pawlowski, wife of Canadian Pastor Artur Pawlowski shares the testimony of the persecution that Artur and his family have suffered at the hands of the Canadian government, all for the sake of the Gospel.

Mark Chapter 6 entitled “Offended at Jesus”
Jesus has caused offense to people throughout history, but in a necessary way. Continuing in “The Red Letter Dilemma” series, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Mark Chapter 6 entitled “Offended at Jesus” that explains the effect His offensiveness has on some people.

As believers in Jesus, we are changed for the better by His offense as it only brings us closer to Him!

Happy Mother's Day // Matthew Chapter 12-The Problem with Unbelief
As part of the Christian life, we all occasionally deal with unbelief at some level.
