The evidence of spiritual maturity is marked in a believer’s life by certain characteristics and actions. Continuing in our series “Galatians: The Power of the Spirit", Pastor Tim teaches a message from Galatians Chapter 6 entitled “Being Spiritually Mature” that helps us see that we are being spiritually mature when we…1) help others mature by helping them deal with sin, 2) help others in their time of need, and 3) rejoice in what God has you doing. We hope this message encourages you to keep growing in your spiritual maturity every day!

As we learned last week about the responsibilities and expectations of men and women in the church, this week we learn about the greater responsibilities that apply to church leaders. Continuing our verse-by-verse series in the book of 1 Timothy called “The Nature & Mission of the Church”, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Chapter 3 entitled “As a Pastor Goes” that breaks down the detailed qualifications of Pastors, Elders, and Deacons in the church. We hope this message helps you understand the important responsibilities of church leadership, so that you can not only pray for them, but hold them accountable.

As Christians, we have access to power that is stronger than anything the world could ever manufacture. Picking up again in the “Red Letter Dilemma” series, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Matthew Chapter 14 entitled “Engaging in the Supernatural” that describes the way we can engage in this power as we stay focused on Jesus. Engaging in the Supernatural…1) begins with prayer, 2) fans the flames of courage, 3) often times affects the natural, and 4) is meant to bring glory and honor to Jesus. We hope this message encourages you to not only see, but experience, the supernatural power of our Almighty God!

Continuing in our Red Letter Dilemma series, Pastor Tim gives a message from John Chapter 6 called “Getting it right.” We know we are getting it right when we seek full hearts, not stomachs, our faith in Jesus fuels our actions, we set our minds on things above, we quit worrying, and we realize God’s in charge, not us.

What is Palm Sunday? Today Pastor Jake discusses how having true faith in God, means we will… 1. Accept the will of God, no matter what 2. Put our faith into practice 3. Proudly worship God 4. See the importance of Bible Prophecy

There has been a rise in false Christianity throughout our culture that appeals to people who want the Bible to conform to their own interests and feelings. Continuing in the “Diligence” series, Pastor Tim teaches a message from 2nd Peter Chapter 2 entitled “The Truth Shall Set You Free” that describes how to tell the difference between false teachers and good, true, sound doctrine. False Teachers will be…1) destroyed, 2) popular, and drag others down with them, 3) able to profit from humanity’s desire for self gratification, and 4) an example of what not to do. We hope this message encourages you to help others avoid false teaching by sharing the absolute truth of God’s Word!

No matter what stage of life you are in, or how far along you are in your walk with Christ, we all have something to learn from the Bible. Continuing in our series “Galatians: The Power of the Spirit", Pastor Tim teaches a message from Galatians Chapter 5 entitled “A Message to the Young and Old”. The young in Christ need to hear that…1) our freedom in Christ isn’t license to sin, 2) self esteem is NOT a virtue, 3) people who practice sin are NOT going to Heaven, and 4) true morality cannot be legislated. And as we grow in our faith we need to avoid becoming conceited, because this kind of attitude…1) is irritating, and 2) will cause you to become jealous. We hope this message encourages you to continue maturing in your faith!

The Word of God has much to say about false teachers, and gives us warnings that help us avoid them. Continuing in the “Diligence” series, Pastor Tim teaches a message from 2nd Peter Chapter 2 entitled “Inside the Wolf” that elaborates on the characteristics of false teachers, referred to as “wolves in sheep’s clothing". Inwardly, wolves (false teachers)…1) are not manly, 2) commit adultery (spiritually), 3) have no spiritual depth to them, and 4) have a repulsive habit when it comes to sin. We hope this message helps you to spot and avoid the wolves!

While on Earth, Jesus devoted much of his time of ministry to healing people. Picking back up in our gospel series called “The Red Letter Dilemma”, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Mark Chapter 7 entitled “The Healing Power of Jesus” that teaches what the Bible has to say about the Lord’s ability to heal. The healing power of Jesus…1) is available to all, 2) is engaged through faith and humility, 3) has no prescribed method, only a prescribed principle, and 4) brings glory to Him. We hope this message encourages you to trust in God, Jehovah Rapha, to be the ultimate healer of any ailment!

We are living in some very interesting times, and people have many different opinions on the meaning of things taking place in our midst. Continuing in our gospel series called “The Red Letter Dilemma”, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Mark Chapter 16 entitled “The Signs of the Times” that teaches what the Bible has to say about understanding the times we are in. Some of the signs of the times we are living in…1) Religious elites are conspiring against the Truth, 2) People are more interested in signs & wonders than the Truth, 3) God has sent prophets (as it were) to call people to repentance, and 4) There is a great separation taking place. We hope this message encourages you to put all of your hope in Jesus, and in the truth found in the Word of God.We are living in some very interesting times, and people have many different opinions on the meaning of things taking place in our midst.

How many times have you been given the advice to “just follow your heart”?. Continuing in our gospel series called “The Red Letter Dilemma”, Pastor Tim teaches a message from John Chapter 8 entitled “Change of Heart” that illustrates how God’s Word says something completely different about who and what we should follow. The truth is, our hearts…1) can blind us to our own sin, 2) cause us to want to take God’s rightful place, 3) are known by God, and 4) can be changed by God. We hope this message encourages you to follow the Lord more closely than ever, and allow Him to continuously change your heart to be more like His.

False doctrine is rapidly working its way into people’s minds through spiritual leaders that you would expect to be teaching the truth. Continuing our study in 2nd Corinthians, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Chapter 11 entitled “Take Heed, Don’t Be Deceived" that alerts us to this deception and how to avoid it. What you need to know about false teachers is that they…1) practice longhorn preaching, 2) often seek to get rich off the Gospel, 3) need to be exposed for what they are, and 4) will get what they deserve. We hope this message helps you discern the difference between false teachers and true Christian teachers that remain loyal to teaching from the inerrant and infallible Word of God!

As Christians, it should be obvious that we are living in perilous times, which is a sign of being in the last days. Continuing in the “Stirred Up” series, Pastor Tim teaches a message from 2nd Timothy Chapter 3 entitled “In the Last Days” that describes the signs of the times and how we should be viewing them. In the Last Days…1) covert satanism will be the cause of the perilous times, 2) Christians will need to do everything possible to protect their homes, 3) God will deliver His people, and 4) being Biblically literate will be imperative. We hope this message encourages you to trust and obey God and His word as we go through these difficult but very significant times!

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.

Although doubt is the opposite of true faith, we know that as Christians we still experience momentary times of doubt in our life. Continuing in the Red Letter Dilemma series, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Matthew Chapter 11 entitled “Kicking Out the Doubt” that will encourage you in your faith. The Word of God teaches us that moments of doubt about the truth about Jesus…1) are strongest when we are alone, and focused on our circumstances, 2) are removed when we revisit the Word of God, 3) don’t nullify all that God wants to do in you and through you, and 4) are not the same as outright rejecting Him. We hope this message helps you to kick the doubt out of your mind today!

In part 1 of our evangelism class, Elder Craig Brooks teaches us some practical and easy ways to ask questions that spark conversation about our faith.

The Christian church is to be an active body of believers throughout the world, with a specific mission. Beginning a new series in the book of 1 Timothy called “The Nature & Mission of the Church”, Pastor Tim teaches a message with the same title that describes the holy foundation we are to be rooted in. The nature and mission of the Church need to be rooted in…1) true doctrine, 2) true love, and 3) true righteousness. We hope this message helps you to be an effective part of the body of Christ, holy and set apart for Him!

As Christians, we are in a fight…a spiritual fight that is being revealed more clearly than ever. Continuing our verse-by-verse series in the book of 1 Timothy called “The Nature & Mission of the Church”, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Chapter 6 entitled “Run, Fight, Win!” that describes how to stray strong in the victory we have in Christ. Men and Women who are strong in the Lord…1) Run away from wickedness, and toward righteousness, 2) Fight against the ways of the world, and 3) Win in the end. We hope this message encourages you to stay strong in the Lord and trust in His victory that we all get to share in as believers!

Do you know the difference between cultural Christians and biblical Christians? Continuing in our gospel series called “The Red Letter Dilemma”, Pastor Tim teaches a message from John Chapter 8 entitled “The Truth About Christians” that reveals some of the differences of real Christians and those who just "fly the banner" of Christianity. Three unequivocal truths found in God’s Word are…1) not everyone who claims to be a Christian is, 2) true Christians know the voice of God, and 3) true Christians hunger and thirst for righteousness. We hope this message encourages you to live your life daily as a committed, biblical Christian!

Where there is truth there is freedom, although sometimes it hurts to hear it. In a message entitled “The Truth in Love” based on John Chapter 7, Pastor Tim welcomes Chloe Cole who shares her story of the deception that led her to pursue transitioning into becoming a male, but even more importantly - the truth that set her free and why the truth is so important. The word of God teaches us that in speaking the truth in love, Jesus…1) called out the works of the world, 2) wasn’t afraid of what the rulers would say, and 3) revealed the intents of the hearts of people. We hope this message encourages you to lovingly speak the truth louder than the worldly culture speaks lies.

As Christians... Treating other people with love and respect is not just a good old-fashioned value, it is Biblical and is necessary for each of us to remember and apply. Continuing our verse-by-verse series in the book of 1 Timothy called “The Nature & Mission of the Church”, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Chapter 5 entitled “As Christians” that describes how we should treat each other as Christians.. As Christians…1) we show respect for our elders, 2) we treat each other as family, 3) we help the needy, and 4) we take care of the needs of our own family. We hope this message encourages you to treat people according to the instructions the Lord gives us in His Word!
