412Temecula

God, Not Mammon

Peoples lives are only going to be changed by faith in God and Romans 10:17 tells us “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Continuing in the “Stirred Up” series, Pastor Tim teaches a message from 2nd Timothy Chapter 2 entitled “Sharing the Word” that describes why it is so important for each of us to not only be constantly in God’s word but also to be sharing God’s word with the people in our lives. When we are stirred to share God’s word, we will… 1) keep the Word of God preeminent, 2) diligently study the Word yourself, 3) avoid worldly wisdom and stick to the Word of God, 4) strive towards personal holiness, and 5) have a pure and humble heart of true love for people. We hope this message reminds you why there is a need for us to always be in God’s word and encourages you to go out and win your friends, win your family and win your neighbors by sharing God’s word with them.

Learning from others is key to growing in the Christian faith. Continuing our series in the book of Galatians, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Galatians Chapter 1 entitled “Learning From Others” that shows us what we can learn from the Apostle Paul. We learn from the Apostle Paul that he 1) didn’t let his past define him, and neither should we, 2) took time to get to know the Truth, and so should we, and 3) became known for sharing his faith, and that should be the reputation we are developing. We hope this message helps you learn and grow in your faith, and to be someone who others can learn from as well!

When you are a committed follower of Christ, you come across plenty of situations in which you need to defend your faith. Continuing our study in 2nd Corinthians, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Chapter 1 entitled “Defending Your Faith” that shows the importance of being very purposeful in the message you communicate to others. Your message to the world…1) should be simple & Biblical, 2) should be direct & have no hidden agenda, 3) should reflect the weightiness of your character, 4) should reflect the weightiness of God’s character, and 5) should invite others to join you in ministry. We hope this message encourages you to defend your faith well at every opportunity!

Are your relationships genuine and transparent enough that your friends can be real with you and vice versa? Continuing our study in 2nd Corinthians, Pastor Tim Thompson teaches a message from Chapter 7 entitled “Faithful Wounds” that describes what can happen when someone cares enough about us to speak truth into our lives, even when the truth hurts. The faithful wounds of a friend…1) bring restoration, not condemnation, 2) bring God’s comfort into our lives, because we know someone cares, 3) bring abundant, everlasting life, and 4) show how important the relationship is. We hope this message encourages you to welcome the “wounds" that will lead you closer to Christ!

There is much that we can give to God and to people, but more than anything God wants our hearts. Continuing our study in 2nd Corinthians, Pastor Jake Porter teaches a message from Chapter 8 entitled “The Heart of a Mature Believer” that describes the spiritual maturity of a believer who has truly surrendered their heart to Him. A mature believer should have 1) a joyful heart, 2) a willing and generous heart, 3) an obedient heart, and 4) an intentional heart. We hope this message encourages you to continually submit your heart to the Lord!

When you are traveling, you want to be 100% sure that the map you are using is reliable. Continuing in the “Diligence” series, a verse-by-verse study through 2nd Peter, Pastor Tim teaches a message entitled “The Certainty of God’s Word” that elaborates on the fact he reminds us of every Sunday - the Bible is the infallible and inerrant Word of God. How can we be certain? 1) People have willingly died for it, 2) It can be seen & heard, and 3) We have the fulfillment of prophecy. We hope this message encourages you to walk through life with complete confidence in the Word of God!

When we became Christians, God did not ask us to be partially holy or even mostly holy, He requires much more than that. Continuing in our gospel series called “The Red Letter Dilemma”, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Matthew Chapter 18 entitled “Our Complete Holiness” that focuses on our personal holiness. The takeaways from this message about our complete holiness are…1) we play a major role in attaining it, 2) we have help in the process, and 3) it is important to God that we attain it. We hope this message encourages and equips you to live in complete holiness today, and every day.

When we walk closely with Jesus, filled and led by the Holy Spirit, we see things in a way that we never could before. In this last part of our current gospel series called “The Red Letter Dilemma”, Pastor Tim teaches a message from John Chapter 9 entitled “Seeing Clearly" that describes the importance of seeing clearly in the spiritual sense. Seeing clearly…1) happens when you acknowledge God’s Word, 2) helps you grow in your understanding, 3) leaves little room for ambiguity, 4) enables you to exercise a wisdom not your own, and 5) will cause divisions in your life. We hope this message encourages you to see more clearly as you keep your focus on the Lord!

The best way that we can give guidance and wise counsel to other people is by speaking the truth found in the Bible. Continuing in the “Stirred Up” series, Pastor Tim teaches a message from 2nd Timothy Chapter 4 entitled “Preach the Word” that describes the importance of Christians, not just Pastors, preaching the Word of God on a regular basis. Preach the Word…1) even when it seems like it isn’t bearing fruit, 2) with very specific results in mind, and 3) with an ever-growing dedication. We hope this message encourages you to regularly study and preach God's Word, and to learn from Bible teachers who are dedicated to preaching it with integrity.

Manifestation is a sin because…1) it attempts to replace God with people, 2) it causes people to seek after the wrong things, 3) it causes people to meditate on the wrong things, and 4) it causes people to forget what their life is all about. We hope this message encourages you in the truth of God’s word today! GIVE HERE: https://www.412murrieta.com/give

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. When people are offended at Jesus…1) they try to attack His credibility, 2) they don’t care what He has to say, (even though He’s right), and 3) they limit God’s ability to perform miracles. As believers in Jesus, we are changed for the better by His offense as it only brings us closer to Him!

When you are called by God to do something, you need to know that He will provide everything you need to complete it. Continuing in our gospel series called “The Red Letter Dilemma”, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Luke Chapter 10 entitled “The Call of the Shepherd” that focuses on the importance of responding to God’s call on our lives with the proper expectations. The takeaways from today’s message are…1) The reason - time was running out, 2) The manner - an expectation of trouble and persecution, 3) The guidelines - undistracted by materialistic concerns, 4) The gravity - people’s eternity was at stake, and 5) The warning - not to get drunk on ‘spiritual power’. We hope this message encourages you to continuously recognize and answer your calling to serve the Lord with faith, obedience, and joy!

God’s word gives very specific instructions for structure and behavior within the home, and in the church. 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 2 entitled “Embracing God’s Structure” that elaborates on the roles of men and women in the church. Embracing God’s Structure acknowledges…1) men are to be ministers of prayer, 2) women are to exhibit modesty, and 3) men are the ones to take on the role of pastor. We hope this message helps solidify your understanding of these Biblical principles and encourages you to embrace them!

Fighting the Good Fight - 1st Timothy 1

Sometimes mature believers need to have conversations with young believers that are hard, but necessary for their own sake. Continuing in our series “Galatians: The Power of the Spirit", Pastor Tim teaches a message from Galatians Chapter 4 entitled “Hard Conversations”, in which we learn that hard conversations with young Believers…1) should include reminding them they are known by God, 2) aren’t about you, 3) are often misunderstood by the young Believer, and 4) need to happen for the sake of the young Believer. We hope this message helps you to speak, and receive, the truth in love when you have these conversations!

The social, cultural, and political battles going on around us are only a reflection of the bigger spiritual battle that is taking place. Continuing our study in 2nd Corinthians, Pastor Tim teaches a message from Chapter 10 entitled “Changing our Weapons" that describes how important it is that we rely on God’s power and the spiritual weapons He provides, rather than in our own flesh. Changing our weapons…1) helps us see the battle clearly, 2) opens us up to true wisdom, 3) makes us healthier spiritually, mentally, & emotionally, and 4) allows God to change our hearts. We hope this message helps equip you for the spiritual battle - fighting from a place of victory that has already been established.
