Foundations part 6. What Death Could Not Do

April 28, 2024 19:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MB

On the day of Pentecost Peter preached his first sermon after Jesus died, Rose again and Ascended back up into Heaven. What would that first sermon be about. What foundational truths can we glean from Peter's message? What does the Lord want us to know? This is what we will discuss this morning. 

When the Storm Clouds Gather

April 21, 2024 20:00 - 24 minutes - 16.9 MB

In todays message we look at Jesus crossing the lake to go to the other side. What turned out to be a simple trip across the lake, suddenly took a turn for the worse. A massive storm came up and the wind and the waves nearly flooded the boat. The disciples went to wake Jesus who was asleep at the stern of the boat. What happened next frightened and amazed the disciples, Jesus spoke to the wind and the waves with these words, "Peace be still" and the storm did just that... Jesus just spoke th...

Foundations part 5, A Personal God

April 14, 2024 19:00 - 28 minutes - 19.6 MB

God knows us personally. He created us and has intimate knowledge of how we think and what motivates us and what brings us joy. Today, we look at Psalms 32. We identify four powers that are listed in this short Psalm. God's desire is that we would come to him honestly and in doing so that we would develop a relationship with Jesus that would take us to the very last day of our lives and into the next. 

Is God with You?

April 07, 2024 19:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MB

Ever have trouble in your life? Where it becomes hard to just function? In the story of Joseph we see how a young man with a dream runs into a dream killer moment, after dream killer moment on his way to the top.  Before God could use Joseph, God tested Joseph. Though betrayed, framed and pushed back down over and over again. Joseph persevered. How was he able to accomplish this? In Genesis 29:5 it says, "...for God was with Joseph." That is what we will talking about today.  

Peace be to You

March 31, 2024 19:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MB

On this Resurrection Sunday we begin to examine Luke's gospel in a very unusual place. The Roman soldiers are nailing a sign on the cross where Jesus has been crucified. The sign reads, "King of the Jews"  On either side of Jesus is crucified a criminal sentenced to die. It is here that we discover a microcosm of humanity. One criminal did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. The other may not have started out believing Jesus was the Messiah, but as he neared death his heart softened. God...

Who Is My Neighbor?

March 24, 2024 20:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MB

In the account of the good Samaritan we rarely hear the real reason Jesus replied the way he did to the expert in the Law. Jesus is trying to get us away from looking at our performance and to surrender to Him and the demonstration He would perform on a cruel cross. Researchers and Gallup polls all point to the fact that 90 percent of people believe that they are very loving people. However, what we discover from this narrative is that we do not love as well as we believe we do. This is the ...

Foundations part 4, "Transformed from..."

March 17, 2024 20:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MB

Today, we take another look at being transformed by the renewing of our mind and heart. We examine some of C. S. Lewis's more iconic writings and implement them into this transformational process that all believers experience. God wants to transform us into the image of HIS Son. However, just as God had to transform the nation of Israel through the wilderness, so we see God doing the same to those who have accepted Him as Lord. Moses led former slaves to freedom; God must also lead us out of...

"Just say Yes to Jesus" Missionary Colin Dorsey

March 10, 2024 19:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MB

The old song goes, "I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back." Colin & Cora  Dorsey are young Missionaries who are going to the European Country of Luxembourg. Colin shares his heart and a very good word of encouragement about faith and what God can do; If we will just say, "Yes" to Jesus. 

Foundations part 3 "The Goal"

March 03, 2024 19:00 - 28 minutes - 19.6 MB

Today, we read from Romans 8:28-30. It is there that we see according to the New Century Version an overall view of what the Lord wants us to concentrate on, as we walk toward the Goal of our Faith. God knew them before he made the world, and he chose them to be like his Son so that Jesus would be the firstborn of many brothers and sisters. God planned for them to be like his Son; and those he planned to be like his Son, he also called; and those he called, he also made right with him..."   ...

Foundations part 2

February 25, 2024 23:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MB

Foundations part 1

February 18, 2024 21:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MB

Today is the first installment of a sermon series that we are doing entitled, "Foundations of the Christian Faith." Today, we start at the beginning. What happens when someone gives their life to Jesus Christ? What takes place? How does one explain to others what God does at the very point where someone surrenders their life to Jesus, and accepts the free gift of God. What can we expect when someone surrenders their life to Jesus? 

Study in John--The Incarnation

February 11, 2024 22:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MB

There is very few true mysteries as the Incarnation of Christ. As we examine the gospel according to John we come to some very powerful declarations made by John who has had a lifetime to reflect on exactly who Jesus was. By understanding what John is trying to communicate we find ourselves realizing that in our own merits we could never approach a holy God without fear. The good news of the gospel is we do not enter in our own holiness but by the Lord's holiness.

The Perfect Prize

February 04, 2024 19:00 - 25 minutes - 17.4 MB

The Apostle Paul reminds us that the most important task we have is to come to know the Christ. Paul encourages his readers by his example to continue growing in the Lord. To know the Christ and his resurrected power, to share in His sufferings, to die to yourself and to obtain the resurrection of the dead. We also examine the reasons why we don't come closer to the Lord. 

Curious Case of Sowing and Reaping Part 3

January 30, 2024 14:00 - 27 minutes - 18.9 MB

In the conclusion of the series entitled, "The Curious Case of Sowing and Reaping" the Apostle Paul encourages the church and  reminding them that we should never grow weary in doing good--for we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Every Christ follower is in a race, and there will be times when all of us will at some point feel weary...but Paul identifies that time as the time to hang in there and not give up.

Curious Case of Sowing and Reaping Part 2

January 21, 2024 20:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MB

Today, we once again examine the law of sowing and reaping. Jesus spoke and gave examples of this both negative and positive. Talking about harvest is not enough. We must do our part to have an actual harvest. There are similarities between sowing actual seeds and sowing spiritual seed. First, both must be intentional in being planted. The crop desired must be first chosen, the seed must be acquired and then planted. Today, we will demonstrate when to be intentional about sowing for a good h...

Curious Case of Sowing and Reaping

January 14, 2024 21:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MB

We have all read the scripture of God providing seed for the Sower. Early on we read in Genesis the sad story of Cain. In that account we discover the the negative side of sowing and reaping. It seems at times that the person has gotten away with many sins, however, we know that unless they settle accounts with God, they will one day reap a terrible harvest. However, for those who do good things; they too seem as if the good harvest they expect will never come. However, the good harvest will...

This Only Do I Seek

January 08, 2024 16:00 - 53 minutes - 36.7 MB

Ministry from Evangelist Jayme Montero on the topic of why we do or do not seek God. Have you ever wondered why some people seek God and others do not? In this inspirational and challenging message, Jayme Montero opens insights into the topic of how the heart plays such an important role in how a human seeks for what they desire.

A Path Of A Great Life

December 31, 2023 21:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MB

As we close out 2023, we seek a renewal of the adventure that God called each of us to; the leaving of our people and our country to follow God to a land that He will show us. How do we fight the hindrances to our faith?  Today, we look at the great life of Abraham. We not only see how God calls each life of faith to be a great life but how we can overcome those hindrances that challenge our faith. It is a great life that God calls His followers to and we have much in common with the great p...

Characters of Christmas part 2

December 17, 2023 19:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MB

In the first seven verses of Luke chapter 2, two persons are mentioned that is important for our study. One the most powerful man in the known world...the other, a small helpless baby. Both claimed to be the sons of deity...only one was right. 

Characters of Christmas part 1

December 11, 2023 19:00 - 16 minutes - 11.7 MB

We will examine individuals who played a part in the story of the birth of Jesus. Today, we examine a group that were the first to hear the good news. When we look at the shepherds and how they were touched by the good news from the angelic visitors, we are reminded how all of us have been effected by the gospel. 

Glimpse of the Judgement

November 26, 2023 20:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

Today, we come to a confrontation Jesus had with a crowd of people who the night before was fed during the feeding of the 5,000.  Jesus calls out this crowd of people who seek Jesus for the wrong reasons. He attempts to re-calibrate their motivation by making a comparison between food that is temporary and spoils to heavenly food that is eternal and brings life. Underneath the narrative one can see what it will be like on the final day of Judgement as Jesus confronts the true motivation of t...

Listening to God part 4--"Choosing to Hear"

November 19, 2023 21:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MB

Today, we bring our series, "Listening to God" to an end. Choosing to Hear is something that begins when a seeker examines the scriptures and begins the process of investigating the claims of Jesus. However, even the most season follower of Christ also chooses to hear every hour of every day as they walk with Christ. So, what does choosing to hear look like? What causes us to stop that hearing? We examine these questions in todays message. 

Listening to God part 3--"How God Speaks"

November 12, 2023 20:00 - 28 minutes - 19.3 MB

Today, we see from our text just how diverse and numerous are God's ways of speaking to humankind. Our text just so happens to encapsulate a great transformation where God began to reach out to the Gentile population.  We also see in our text how God gives us ears to hear what the Spirit is saying.

Listening to God part 2--"His Sheep Hear and Listen"

November 06, 2023 21:00 - 27 minutes - 18.8 MB

Today, we examine the Lord's Teaching on HIS Sheep, found in John 10:1-6. Many believers overthink and can be anxious about listening to God. However, Jesus promises that HIS Sheep will not only listen to HIS voice, but they will know HIS voice, so much so, that they will recognize the voice of a stranger and flee from him. This has far reaching implications theologically speaking for those believers who find themselves in the last days. True Followers of Christ should expect God to speak, k...

Listening to God part 1: Does God Speak to You?

October 30, 2023 15:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MB

Does God speak today? If God does speak, then the question becomes, "Are we listening?" Today, we begin a mini-series on Listening to God and discover modern cultural hindrances that we may not agree with, but their roots can influence us without our knowledge. We also discover that though we want to hear from God, we may realize that we do not listen to those around us well. Hearing God and listening to God are not necessarily the same thing.

A Deep Oneness

October 09, 2023 01:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MB

According to Ephesians chapter 5, the Apostle Paul instructs us on what an ideal marriage looks like. Making reference to what Timothy Keller calls a deep oneness, we discuss three things we can do to promote that deep oneness in our marriage, and how those truths apply to our relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Give God Yourself

October 01, 2023 19:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MB

In trying to trick Jesus into saying something that the Religious Leaders could use against him, Jesus redirected their question about paying taxes to Rome. What Christ did was draw attention to God the Father's desire to reconcile with humankind. God wants us to give ourselves to Him and that includes our Tithes and offerings. It's the latter that proves we are truly giving ourselves to Him.

Dare to be a Friend of God

September 24, 2023 19:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MB

Today, we examine Abram, Jacob and Moses who all had one thing in common; they reminded God of the promises HE made earlier in their life. What advantage do we have in standing on the promises of God. That is what we look for today.

God's Wrath and God's Wondrous Grace explained

September 17, 2023 15:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MB

We examine both topics today and counter the common belief that God's wrath is typically demonstrated in the Old Testament and God's grace is typically demonstrated in the New Testament. God's grace can be found in the Old Testament and God's warnings of wrath can be found in the New Testament. What we discover to be true is that God wants to gather us together, to heal, and to guide with a helpful hand, but it is us and not Him that refuses to let it happen.

Guilt Free Living

September 11, 2023 19:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MB

Today, more than ever we live by faith. We have faith that God wants to work in us and if that is true; will God not str etch and test us? God wants us to pray; so, will HE not answer our prayers. God is able to do more than we can even ask or imagine. So, why do we doubt that God can change us and our situations? Identifying four learning points that will help you boost your faith in God and believe that God wants to bring you to a place of perfection. 

How to Walk with Purpose

August 28, 2023 01:00 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MB

The human race has expectations of what is like to connect with God. Today, we discover what happens when God chooses a person. That person discovers God in a way that they typical do not expect. They discover looking back at how God had been moving them along a path that would lead them ultimately into a living relationship with their Savior and Lord. We look at three simple lessons in how to walk with purpose.

Rescue 411.Look Upon the Cross

August 20, 2023 22:00 - 30 minutes - 20.8 MB

Today, we look in the book of Numbers and look at a fascinating moment when God reveals a picture of Christ and it is found in a very unlikely place. God instructed Moses to make a brazen serpent and attach it to a pole so that if anyone would be bitten by a snake they would not die if they would gaze upon it.

Rescue 411.The Tale of Two Goats

August 14, 2023 13:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MB

Looking through the Old Testament we come to Leviticus, a book that one would not think to find a picture of our Savior among all the rules and regulations handed down by God to Moses. Yet, we see the imagery painted by the Lord of the Lamb of God who took on Himself the role of a goat. Jesus, the Lamb of God became what He was not, so that we could become what we were not.

Bless and do not Curse

July 30, 2023 19:00 - 30 minutes - 20.8 MB

Proverbs 18:21 tells us that the tongue can speak life or death. The writer of Romans instructs his readers to bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse. Why is this important? The way we speak has more power than we realize. We as Christ followers should be conduits of blessing and grace, not darkness and death. Today, we examine the instructions that Jesus gave his disciples as he sent them out to minister to the surrounding countryside, to towns and villages. We would do well ...

The Anxiety Trap. C.S. Lewis Perspective

July 23, 2023 19:00 - 24 minutes - 17 MB

Today, we come to our second installment of our mini-series on Anxiety and Worry. We look at the words of Jesus on the subject of worry and then we look at C. S. Lewis and his book entitled, "The Screwtape letters"  A fictional series that Lewis publish each week during the darkest hours of Britain's history during World War II.  We glean from the words of our Lord Jesus and then look at C. S. Lewis who was addressing the fears, of uncertainty, and the fear that was so prevalent in Britain a...

The Anxiety Trap.Trials and Judgements

July 16, 2023 20:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MB

One of the number one mental illness in America is Anxiety disorder. A whopping 40 million American adults from 18 on up have been diagnosed. These are the chronic cases, but when you think about those who feel stressed, worry and suffer with a lighter case of anxiety it becomes a very big problem. As Christ followers we need to worship God and not worry. When we worry we are opening up ourselves to the enemy of our soul. Today, we give some practical reasons why we suffer, how we should not...

The Insignificant boy named David

July 09, 2023 22:00 - 1 hour - 45.3 MB

Today's message is from Evangelist Jayme Montera. God does not choose those of noble birth, or the wise of this world. God looks at the heart. When a man or woman partners with God they can become a great and useful vessel that can change the unchangeable.  

The Blood Makes the Difference

July 02, 2023 23:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MB

Today, we continue looking for the crimson thread that runs throughout the Old Testament. We look for God's intentional desire to rescue, redeem and deliver mankind. Therefore, we stop in Leviticus and come to an important prohibition that God places on His people Israel. It's from this prohibition that we walk away with the sacredness and truth that God the Father places on the Blood and what it means for us today. 

"God Planted a Vineyard" Special Speaker David Cordel

July 02, 2023 22:00 - 49 minutes - 33.9 MB

David Cordel shares from Isaiah in a message entitled, "God Planted a Vineyard" In this message we discover that doing the will of God for our life is something that God is working out day by day. It is more about Him than us.

Rescue 411.The Redemptive Distinction

June 12, 2023 19:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MB

Looking at the narrative of Moses' interactions with Pharoah, we notice a distinction that God makes between HIS people and Pharoah's people. Is that distinction still in play all of these thousands of years later? Do Christ-followers have a God recognized distinction today? If so, what does that look like for today and what does the Bible say that it looks like in the future?

Rescue 411--Promise of Redemption

June 04, 2023 19:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

We revisit a popular Sermon Series entitled, "Rescue 911" and today's message is "Promise of Redemption"  In today's study we see another example how God is intentionally weaving the message of how committed HE is to delivering and rescuing HIS people.  Today, we see God promise Moses and HIS people to Rest, Rescue and Redemption. What is so glorious, God is actively doing this today for anyone who will call on Jesus.

Jericho Stands in Our Way

May 07, 2023 19:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MB

Everyone has a Jericho that stands in front of our advancement to our dreams, our God led destination. It is no different today as it was back in the time of this narrative. If the Lord had a plan back then, we must assume HE certainly has a plan today for our Jericho's.
