Assurance of Hope
December 09, 2018 02:59 - 58 minutes - 57.6 MBJoin us in celebrating Advent this year starting today, Sunday December 2, 2018. Advent means the coming of Christ. We set aside four weeks (Hope, Love, Joy & Peace) to meditate, celebrate and examine our hearts in preparation of Christmas Day, the birth of our Savior. In order to see our need for a beautiful Savior, we need to see the depth of our darkest night.

Friendship With the World is Hatred For God
November 19, 2018 19:05 - 43 minutes - 58.6 MBJames 4:1-6 "What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world mak...

November 16, 2018 14:55 - 31 minutes - 43.2 MBJames 3:13-18 "Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to re...
Don’t Play With Fire!
November 09, 2018 19:53 - 37 minutes - 49.2 MB11/04/18 - Pastor Kevin We all need boundaries and to know how to use our speech for good and to please God.

"Speech that is not tied to our faith is deadly." Call To Worship Isaiah 6:5–7 “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have ...

This section of scripture answers these big questions. How do I love God? Who is my Neighbor? How Do I Love My Neighbor? Other text used in ...
Look To God Not To Gold
September 10, 2018 18:04 - 47 minutes - 63.3 MB9/9/18 - Pastor Kevin Our true hope and treasure is in Christ Jesus Alone.

Trust God In All Things
August 27, 2018 10:04 - 43 minutes - 57.8 MBJames continues to teach Christians wisdom during suffering. We must not believe the lie that God is not good. God is good. He is for you, those who have saving faith and trust in Jesus. 8/26/18 - James 1:16-18 (ESV) "Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Love Jesus Hate Sin!
August 24, 2018 21:24 - 46 minutes - 62.2 MBJames 1:12-15 "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death...
Where Does Your Hope Lie?
August 24, 2018 19:43 - 43 minutes - 58.1 MBJames 1:9-11 "Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits."

Wisdom for People in Trouble
August 24, 2018 19:15 - 29 minutes - 38.8 MBJames 1:5-8 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."
Introduction: A Message for Troubled People
August 23, 2018 19:25 - 21 minutes - 28.5 MBIntroduction to new sermon series on the Book of James. This sermon outlines the context of the Book of James and overviews the epistle before diving into verses 1-4.

Repent, The Kingdom of God is at Hand!
July 08, 2018 11:55 - 40 minutes - 61.8 MBWhat we would call the second coming; meaning that it has yet to happen. God speaks to his enemies and ours and says, “get ready for war.” Get ready for judgment; sanctify and prepare yourself to the best of your ability because you’re going to war with God. On one hand this is scary to think of; there’s a sense in which God is mocking the very people He’ll will one day judge. No one goes to war with God, He’s God! Also, wrapped up in this message of coming judgment is the sliver of hope t...
GOD IS A GOD OF GRACE & JUSTICE
July 08, 2018 11:44 - 56 minutes - 54.9 MBThis Passage highlights God’s character as a righteous judge. In comparison to previous parts of Joel, we see God as: “gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster." (Joel 2:13) Today, we’ll see that those who unrepentantly abuse God’s people, then and now, are those who incur God’s perfect justice. We also see that to sin against God’s people is to sin against God Himself. This is wonderful news for God’s people, and a sobering truth...
From Great to Unimaginable
July 08, 2018 11:35 - 41 minutes - 40.1 MBIn Joel 2:28-32, we see God’s Grace go from great to unbelievable! Joel prophecies of the day that will come when God will “pour out His Spirit on all flesh” culminating in a promise that “everyone who calls upon The Lord” will be saved! During this time God had only (mostly) made Himself known to the Hebrew people. Today, we live in the age where Joel’s prophecy is being fulfilled. Praise God indeed! "From Great to Unimaginable" Joel 2:28-32 Vs. 28-29 - God’s Spirit Spille...

One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.

From Fear to Rejoicing
June 13, 2018 18:09 - 48 minutes - 46.5 MBWe’ve turned the corner from the swarming locusts destroying the land, the people and everything else; to watching God not only relent but restoring to His people what they’d lost. “Fear not” and “be glad” convey the mood of this passage. This shows us that God is indeed “merciful” and “steadfast” when anyone turns away from sin and turns toward God’s in faith. For those who repent; the over arching message is that everything’s going to be restored and reconciled. Of course; we’ll only see t...
Return to the Lord for He is Gracious & Merciful
June 13, 2018 18:01 - 46 minutes - 45.6 MBThe entire Book of Joel has been building up to this segment. The plague of locusts as they’re swallowing up the people of God and destroying the nation; just when they were at the point of being crushed . . . we read verses 12-13. “Yet even now," declares the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments." Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in stea...

May 21, 2018 16:46 - 51 minutes - 49.8 MBJoel 2:1-6 God commands Joel to blast the alarm in order to strick fear in the hearts of the people of the nation; in order that they would return to God and God would relent of His all consuming plague. The overall theme of this segment is: be afraid, be stirred up, be shocked at the horror that ravages the land and threatens to destroy the people of God. The purpose for fear is so that the people then and now would reverence and honor God as we always should. Vs. 1-2 - Wake Up!...
Cry Out To The Lord Together
May 17, 2018 16:37 - 54 minutes - 52.3 MBJoel 1:13-20 God takes sin seriously, and God takes repentance seriously; so should we. In this passage Joel teaches the Israelites why they should repent; (us too). Namely because the wrath of God looms over the souls of all people, even God’s people (though not the ultimate wrath of Hell). In this segment Joel recounts how bad things are for the Israelites; and then gives voice to their need for God’s rescue in the midst of their circumstances. Vs. 13–14 - Take Seriously God’s Call...

May 04, 2018 13:43 - 28 minutes - 26.6 MB5/6/18 - Joel 1:1-4 As we begin in Joel 1:1-4, we learn that Joel is a book of prophecy given by God to His chosen servant during for a specific time to Israel then and to the His Church now and for all time. God displays His infinite loving-kindness by speaking to His people, calling them to turn from their dark ways and turn to Him in humble repentance. Just like any good parent, God is gracious even in His judgement and in His discipline. He provides a way of escape from the de...
