It’s Not Rocket Science… It’s Just Life Together (We’re IN this Together, Pt.6)

April 23, 2024 17:00 - 51 minutes - 35.6 MB

This sermon = 4 verses, 4 points,  4 stories. It’s not complicated, and according to the Bible, following Jesus and doing life with others isn’t supposed to be either!  Difficult and messy at times? Yes. But there is something divine and supernatural about the beautiful Simplicity of our Faith!   ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Believe For The Impossible! (We’re IN this Together, Pt.5)

April 16, 2024 23:00 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MB

Faith, at its essence, involves some RISK and requires some WAITING on the Lord! We ALL need it and it’s available to us ALL! Wilson Flavius brilliantly illustrates the beauty and power of the believer’s life of faith!  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Are you IN with Jesus? (We’re IN this Together, Pt.4)

April 09, 2024 22:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MB

The parable of the prodigal son is not just about one son, it’s about two - the LOST son and the GOOD son. You may be surprised to learn that BOTH sons have issues! One “LEAVES BEHIND” the love & grace of the Father, while the other “LOSES SIGHT” of His love & grace.  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

All Things New (Easter Sunday)

April 04, 2024 02:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MB

The message of the Cross is simple…God is no longer counting people’s sins against them. He canceled the debt of the self-destructive, the self-righteous and the simply selfish.  Our part? Just BELIEVE that He did it and put your trust in Him! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

A House of Prayer (Palm Sunday)

March 26, 2024 19:00 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MB

On Palm Sunday we celebrate the beginning of Jesus’ journey to the cross, where He would not only COVER the PENALTY of sin, but CANCEL the POWER of sin. To accomplish what He was called to do, Jesus prayed often… He instructs us to do the same and He shows us how. ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

GOD HELP - Because That’s Impossible!?! (We’re IN this Together, Pt.3)

March 19, 2024 18:00 - 1 hour - 42.3 MB

Luke 6 is one of the most difficult teachings of Jesus - loving people is challenging enough, but loving our enemies?? The good news is that’s it’s been done before, and with God, we can keep on moving forward!  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Don’t Lose Your Way On the Way (We’re IN this Together, Pt.2)

March 12, 2024 18:00 - 58 minutes - 40.4 MB

In Mark 8, we see HOW Jesus interacted with 4 types of people - the crowd, the religious, the lost and the misguided. If we can look at what Jesus DID, we can learn what we should DO!  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Don’t Give Up On Me (We’re IN this Together, Pt.1)

March 06, 2024 01:00 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MB

There’s two kinds of “Lost” in this life - Sin and Religion. Those who don’t care that Jesus went to the cross - and those who nailed Jesus to the cross. (Heathens & Pharisees) Thank God - HE doesn’t give up on either!   ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Learning to Breathe (Rest & Run, Pt.5)

February 21, 2024 18:00 - 1 hour - 43.8 MB

Some things in life are not only TAUGHT, they’re CAUGHT. God gives us a “Great-Go” in Scripture - a race to run - and it ISN’T accomplished by merely absorbing information in a classroom or church setting. It happens “on-the-move” and with people!!  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Dare You to Move (Rest & Run, Pt.4)

February 13, 2024 23:00 - 53 minutes - 37 MB

February 08, 2024 23:00 - 50 minutes - 35 MB

In a world where there are no real guarantees, we CAN ALWAYS TRUST that God’s Word is 100% reliable! So… Obey the Word of God - be Strong and Courageous - and Don’t be Afraid or Discouraged.  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

MAYBE We Can Do More Than We Think (Rest & Run, Pt.2)

January 23, 2024 20:00 - 55 minutes - 38.4 MB

How much does your faith in God affect your decisions in life? When we lean on HIM…”maybe” is more than enough!  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Gaining Ground Without Losing Sight (Rest & Run, Pt.1)

January 17, 2024 19:00 - 51 minutes - 35.3 MB

When we follow God, our energy & ability is almost supernatural ~ When we run from God, everything is overwhelming & exhausting! ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

It’s NOT That Complicated

January 09, 2024 19:00 - 47 minutes - 32.4 MB

People (all of us) naturally tend to complicate things, but Jesus doesn’t do that; in fact, He makes it crystal clear in Scripture what God says is MOST important in this life!  Maybe “that” should be our goal for the New Year… ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Angels We Have Heard…

December 19, 2023 23:00 - 53 minutes - 37.1 MB

Ever notice how things aren’t as scary or difficult if someone goes with you!  Well the angels of the Lord made it clear in the OT and the NT that “God is with us!” God WON’T fail you because he’s 100% faithful and He CAN’T fail you because He’s God!!  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

About My Father’s Business…

December 11, 2023 02:00 - 1 hour - 44.4 MB

Bamana Larsen delivers a poignant and pastoral sermon on the absolute necessity for the “fear of the Lord” in our lives as we grow in our walk with God.  God has a plan for our lives and the enemy has a plan for our lives…which plan we choose to follow is entirely up to us!  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Why Be Anxious & Afraid When You Can Be Calm & Bright?!

December 06, 2023 06:00 - 50 minutes - 35 MB

Take heart! Today is the tomorrow you were so worried about! The default of life is anxious and afraid, but with God, we have another option… 🙂 God is always more than enough! So, maybe the issue is NOT needing more of Him, but just needing LESS of ourselves. #GetEmpty ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Who’s Gonna Save Me Now?

November 20, 2023 18:00 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MB

Do you ever say you’re going to do something - but then you don’t? You’re not alone. Peter lied to Jesus and the apostle Paul admits that he talks about doing one thing but then ends up doing the exact opposite …and he can’t stop! Maybe we can all relate with his frustration when he asks, “Is there anyone who can do anything for me?”  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

The Secret to Peace & Power

Get Out of Your Head

November 08, 2023 00:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MB

Get Out of the Boat… IF You Wanna Walk on Water

October 18, 2023 00:00 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MB

When you follow God, you win in life.  When you go through the struggle, look to God. When you’re ready for more, get out of the boat.  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Get Out of Your Tent

October 10, 2023 17:00 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MB

In life, we can only see what we can see.  #deep  You can’t really know something until you’ve learned it and you can’t begin to recognize a thing until you’ve seen it. God wants to show you the plan He has for your life…but to see it, you’re going to have to get out of your tent.  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Get Out of God’s Way

October 03, 2023 18:00 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MB

It’s difficult to hear God’s voice when we’ve already decided what we want Him to say! But if we can take the time to hear and find the courage to listen, God will guide us through the stormy seas and the calm waters of life.  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

Food for Thought (You’ve Got THIS & God’s Got YOU! - Pt. 8)

Because of That… Do This! (You’ve Got THIS & God’s Got YOU! - Pt. 6)

September 06, 2023 15:00 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MB

Psalms 34 PROMISES that God hears us, rescues us and is close to us. Ecclesiastes 9 INSTRUCTS us to go ALL-IN with what is right in front of us.  Because of THAT - Do THIS!  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

God’s Plan (You’ve Got THIS & God’s Got YOU! - Pt. 5)

August 22, 2023 22:00 - 53 minutes - 37 MB

God has a plan for your life (not merely a nice thought, but a promise and a fact)!  So, WHAT is OUR PART (personally, relationally & spiritually) in God’s plan for our lives?  This sermon answers that question straight from Scripture.  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

God is Still with You… Just Open Your Eyes (You’ve Got THIS & God’s Got YOU! - Pt. 4)

August 15, 2023 20:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MB

Faith is Always a “Win-Win” Situation (You’ve Got THIS & God’s Got YOU! - Pt. 2)

July 18, 2023 17:00 - 48 minutes - 33 MB

Faith is not a guarantee that you won’t fall or fail… Faith is a guarantee that God won’t fail you!  We get to choose whether we’re pulled through life by the pain of our problems OR we’re pushed through life by the purpose of God.  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook

You’ve Got THIS and God’s Got YOU!

July 11, 2023 18:00 - 46 minutes - 31.9 MB

We could all use some ENCOURAGEMENT - this sermon delivers just that!  Every inspirational story includes adversity, so don’t get discouraged in the struggle - the struggle leads to the miracle!

I’m Dying Here, I’m Trying Here (Perfect Peace, Pt. 4)

June 13, 2023 18:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MB

If Peace Had A Formula… (Perfect Peace, Pt.3)

June 06, 2023 18:00 - 51 minutes - 35.7 MB

February 21, 2023 22:00 - 53 minutes - 36.4 MB

Troubling times in life have a way of finding us — BUT have you ever found them? There wasn’t a problem until you got involved and found a problem! Don’t worry - you’re not alone: the psalmist in chapter 116 confessed, “…I FOUND distress and sorrow.”  We all run FROM God at some point and we can always run back TO God at any point. But when we’re running WITH God, even in the raging “storms of life” our hearts are filled with hope and even Joy!  ----- Official Website Instagram Twitter Face...
