Zechariah | One Books Series | 2/23/20 PM Sermon
February 23, 2020 23:00 - 25 minutes - 17.4 MBThe next to the last book of the O.T. is the most difficult of the Minor Prophets. It's also the longest. The difficulty is not in the length but the interpretation of the visions and prophecies regarding God's Holy City and his people. Zechariah is truly messianic, apocalyptic and eschatological. We address these topics briefly and look at the central theme of encouragement in this book.
Don't Limit Your Opportunities | No Limits Evangelism Series | 2/23/20 AM Sermon
February 23, 2020 15:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MBOpportunity is the stuff evangelism is made of- how do we ensure we’re ready for it? In Colossians 4, Paul lays out some ways Christians can be ready to make the most of every opportunity to share Jesus.
Haggai | One Book Series | 2/16/20 PM Sermon
February 16, 2020 23:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MBThe book of Haggai has a very contemporary message: put first things first. Ironically, it was originally given to people a lot like us. There were people who would have agreed God is paramount, but they weren't acting like he was. In this lesson, we observe three ways we can make sure God is really first in our lives.
Don't Limit God | No Limits Evangelism Series | 2/16/20 AM Sermon
February 16, 2020 15:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MBDo we really believe in the God we say we believe in? Based on how we live, it's a fair question. In this lesson, as we kick-off our evangelism series, the goal is to really see God as a God who is amazing, inspiring and immeasurable. It is this God who empowers us to take his message to the lost. Yet, despite what we say we believe, we sometimes limit God by our actions. The challenge is presented to avoid this fear and some examples are given to show how to do overcome this
Zephaniah | One Book Series | 2/9/20 PM Sermon
February 09, 2020 23:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MBThe book of Zephaniah deals with the unpleasant subject of God's judgment. It is specifically mentioned in 1 out of every 3 verses but also the majority of the three short chapters of this book stay on the subject. Yet, a study of Zephaniah is beneficial in that it reveals that God's judgment reveals purification, hope and a promise of a future kingdom where Jesus rules and saves.
The Pathway of Celebration | 2020 Marriage Enrichment Seminar Sermon | 2/9/20
February 09, 2020 15:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBSteve Cloer brings us his final lesson from the 2020 Marriage Enrichment Seminar.
The Pathway of Sexuality | 2020 Marriage Enrichment Seminar Class | 2/9/20
February 09, 2020 14:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MBSteve Cloer brings us his 5th lesson from the 2020 Marriage Enrichment Seminar entitled The Pathway of Sexuality: “How Delightful is Your Love” (Song of Solomon 4:9-15/2:10-13)
I Believe, But... | 02/02/2020 PM Sermon
February 02, 2020 05:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MBBelief always comes with baggage. John’s Gospel helps us navigate those unsure waters and see all levels of belief as a starting place for something more. Scripture - John 10-12
Beautiful Feet | 02/02/2020 AM Sermon
February 02, 2020 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MBPushing back against our tendency to complicate our mission, Paul reminds us of the beauty and the simplicity of the Gospel in Romans 10:1-15.
Habakkuk | One Book Series | 1/26/20 PM Sermon
January 26, 2020 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18.2 MBIf you've ever wanted to ask God some questions about your concerns, you have something in common with the prophet Habakkuk. Amazingly, this prophet has a conversation with God. God hears his questions, answers them and then allows him to be comforted in the reassurance that although it seems like God has lost control of the world, he really hasn't.
Blessed is Best | 1/27/20 AM Sermon
January 26, 2020 05:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MBYou can have a good, comfortable and even successful life without God, but you can't have the "best life" without God. Psalms 112 is a reminder that there are blessings that come with being obedient to God's word and those blessings will make your life the best it can be.
Nahum | One Book Series | 1/19/20 PM Sermon
January 19, 2020 05:00 - 23 minutes - 16 MBIn 100 years a lot can happen. Such was the case for the Assyrian city of Nineveh. The city repented at the preaching of Jonah, but now Nahum spells out her doom because she regressed back into sin. This prophecy is a "consolation" (the meaning of Nahum's name) for Judah to know God remembers his people and punishes his enemies.
Praise the Lord | 1/19/20 AM Sermon
January 19, 2020 05:00 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MBPsalm 111 puts God where he belongs! It reminds us that God deserves our praise. Even though this psalm is poetic, it breaks down nicely into three areas of praise to God, which are highlighted in this lesson.
The Challenge of Our Times | 1/12/20 AM Sermon
January 12, 2020 05:00 - 31 minutes - 22 MB"Man who is born of woman..." - most can complete the verse from Job 14:1 from there. We live in our reality (America) but understand two kingdoms are at odds with each other: the kingdom of Satan and the Kingdom of Christ. In a world with so many pressing problems (which we highlight briefly in this lesson), Christians need to make sure we respond to this problem in a healthy way. The "challenge" of this lesson is to accept that the Gospel changes things one life at a time and that starts w...
Micah | One Book Series | 1/12/20 PM Sermon
January 12, 2020 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBIsaiah and Micah were contemporaries who preached and prophesied to Judah, the southern kingdom. While being a "country prophet" Micah argued God's case like a big city lawyer. Three sermons make up the seven chapters of this book. In each sermon, there is "judgment" and "hope." We also highlight the well-know Micah 6:8 passage and explain how it fits into the context of the overall book.
Jonah | One Book Series | 1/5/20 PM Sermon
January 05, 2020 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MBJonah is really a book about God! While Jonah is often considered a "hero" in children's literature, he really was the reluctant prophet. The greatness of this story is how God does great things despite Jonah. God is willing to save even when we don't think people are worth saving.
20/20 Vision of Newness | 1/5/20 AM Sermon
January 05, 2020 05:00 - 27 minutes - 18.6 MBOut with the old and in with the new is a popular New Year resolution. That very description could be given to Paul's instructions in Eph. 4:17-32. According to Paul, the only way to start over is to change the way you think. When we do that we will change how we act.
Three Timezones | 12/29/19 AM Sermon
December 29, 2019 05:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MBWhile God lives in eternity, he drops us into measured time. God has given us three timezones in which we live our lives. We live in the past this is fraught with regret. But the other extreme is a future we depend on. Yet, the only zone in which we can do what God wants is the smallest one—today.
Obadiah | One Book Series | 12/22/19 PM Sermon
December 22, 2019 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MBObadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament. Yet, its 21 verses contain an important message. The descendants of Esau, the Edomites, made a number of blunders. This book is the judgment of the Lord concerning them and a reminder for us today to learn from them.
Joy in Christ | Joy to the World Series | 12/22/19 AM Sermon
December 22, 2019 05:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MBAt the heart of Philippians is the message "Rejoice in the Lord." Philippians chapter three is really a reminder that Jesus is enough. If you have less than Jesus you don't have enough. If you have more than Jesus you have too much.
Amos | One Book Series | 12/15/19 PM Sermon
December 15, 2019 05:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MBAmos was no prophet or son of a prophet (Amos 7:14) until he was called by God. Then the shepherd and farmer became the country prophet. His mission was to carry a message of judgment and prophecy to Israel, the northern tribe. He served God faithfully and provides valuable insights for our modern lives today.
Joy in Loving | Joy to the World Series | 12/15/19 AM Sermon
December 15, 2019 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18.2 MBIt's good to hear a spiritual principle explained, but it's better to see it lived out. That is basically what Phil. 2:1-8 entails. The philosophy of "Joy in Loving" is explained but then Paul adds a face to the teaching in showing them Jesus practicing "Joy in Loving."
The Joy of Serving | Joy to the World Series | 12/8/19 AM Sermon
December 08, 2019 05:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MBIn this service, we highlight the special nature of serving as a deacon. In Philippians 1:1, Paul names "deacons" as part of God's plan for the church. In the verses that follow, Paul thanks the Christians for their work and remembers their service in the Lord together, which we connect to "joy."
Joel | One Book Series | 12/8/19 PM Sermon
December 08, 2019 05:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBThe book of Joel is a prophecy in the backdrop of a terrible locust storm that ravaged the land. The prophet Joel uses this natural disaster to discuss the Lord's judgment on sin. In this lesson, we highlight themes of natural disaster, judgment, repentance and eventual hope for those who turn to the Lord.
The Garage | Appreciating My Place in God's House | 12/1/19 AM Sermon
December 01, 2019 05:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBConsidering the church is God's household (Eph. 2:19), in the book of Ephesians we might compare Eph. 6 to "The Garage." It's a place to get prepared or geared up to go into the world to face the enemy. Eph. 6:10-24 is like an intelligence briefing for successfully engaging in this conflict.
Daniel | One Book Series | 11/24/19 PM Sermon
November 24, 2019 05:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBDaniel is a book about dreams and prophecies. But at the heart of the story we find how God’s people must always stand up and stand out for what they believe no matter the circumstances. This lesson focuses on the events of chapter three and the three young men who stayed cool under fire.
The Bedroom | Appreciating My Place in God's House Series | 11/24/19 AM Sermon
November 24, 2019 05:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBIn Ephesians chapter five Paul takes us inside of the bedroom in God’s house. Of course there are lessons to learn about marriage here, but the deeper message is about the relationship between Christ and the church. This lesson explores this beautiful relationship.
The Kitchen | Appreciating My Place in God's House Series | 11/17/19 AM Sermon
November 17, 2019 05:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBIn our tour of God’s house from the book of Ephesians we come to the kitchen. If you are a part of a family you know disagreements happen. The best place to settle disagreements is around the kitchen table. Ephesians chapter four is Paul’s appeal for unity. You might call it Paul’s recipe for unity.
When Grief Comes to the Cross | 11/17/19 PM Sermon
November 17, 2019 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MBChristians are invited to bring all of our burdens to the foot of the cross- including the burden of grief. When we do, the cross responds in three powerful and transformative ways.
Ezekiel | One Book Series | 11/10/19 PM Sermon
November 10, 2019 05:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBEzekiel was a priest and prophet taken away into Babylonian captivity. After witnessing a great vision of God's presence removed from the temple, Ezekiel brings the prophecy of God's destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. Yet, even with this destruction and despair, there is still hope that is envisioned in the valley of dry bones where God brings Israel's hopes back to life.
The Trophy Room | Appreciating My Place in God's House | 11/10/19 AM Sermon
November 10, 2019 05:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBThe six chapters in Ephesians can be compared to rooms in God's house, the church. In Ephesians 3, we compare this to a "trophy room" where something prized or valuable is displayed. In Ephesians, that's the church. We are reminded in this lesson that the church is God's plan to reach the world, amaze the angels and bring glory to God.
How to Live Like an Exile | 11/3/19 PM Sermon
November 03, 2019 04:00 - 27 minutes - 18.9 MBEvery church has its characters. In 3 John, we meet three. Which are you? Which do you want to be?
What do you see? | 11/3/19 AM Sermon
November 03, 2019 04:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MBIn a world that Satan has blinded to a larger view, Jesus opens our eyes in different ways, ways to see what God wants and needs us to see. What do you see?
Lamentations | One Book Series | 10/27/19 PM Sermon
October 27, 2019 04:00 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MBLamentations is a short book of five poems arranged around the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. We might say Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, laments the destruction of Jerusalem from A to Z. In these five poems, we learn some things about God and some things about ourselves.
The Family Room | Appreciating My Place in God's House Series | 10/27/19 AM Sermon
October 27, 2019 04:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MBIn the second chapter of Ephesians, we enter the family room. Imagine sitting around a room with family and remembering the past like we often do in family gatherings. For God's family, we need to remember what sin did to us and then remember what great things God has done for us.
Jeremiah | One Book Series | 10/20/19 PM Sermon
October 20, 2019 04:00 - 23 minutes - 15.9 MBIn our One Book series we examine the book of Jeremiah. After giving a brief outline and overview, we take a look at the life of Jeremiah as a prophet and we learn we have a lot in common with him.
The Entry Room | Appreciating My Place in God's House Series | 10/20/19 AM Sermon
October 20, 2019 04:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MBThe book of Ephesians is about the church of Christ, which is called God's household or family! It's about Christians living like they are rich rather than poor. In this series, each chapter will represent a different room in God's house. In chapter one, it is as if we are walking into "the entry room" and there we are introduced to God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit. How blessed we are to be in this family!
The Pleasant Offering for Our Triune God | 10/13/19 AM Sermon
October 13, 2019 04:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBAt the heart of missions is the nature of God. God first loved us. God first gave to us. When we follow him by faith we want to give what is pleasing to him. In this lesson, Lenin Munguia offers us encouragement for giving toward our annual Great Commission Sunday with a reminder of these principles from 2 Samuel 24:18-25, Phil. 2:5-11 and Rom. 15:16.
Isaiah | One Book Series | 10/6/19 PM Sermon
October 06, 2019 04:00 - 23 minutes - 16.3 MBAfter a brief overview and explanation that Isaiah is the gospel in miniature form, we focus on the encounter that Isaiah has with God in Isaiah 6:1-9. This encounter changed him and it should change us!
Lesson from Evan Todachine | 9/29/19 AM Sermon
September 29, 2019 04:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MBEvan Todachine delivered our lesson this morning about having our faith principles prepared for when we encounter situations that will test our faith.
Song of Solomon | One Book Series | 9/22/19 PM Sermon
September 23, 2019 00:00 - 23 minutes - 16 MBAs we continue our "One Book" series, Song of Solomon present a story about a man and woman who are in love. While the content of this book is sometimes difficult to study in mixed company, ultimately, it is the story of the meeting, marriage and struggle involved in the marriage relationship. From this story, we learn three key things that keep our marriages healthy.
The Christians Impact on the World - Part 2 | 9/22/19 AM Sermon
September 22, 2019 04:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBThe call of Christianity is to live a life set apart from the world. And when Christians do this it really does make a difference. This was apparently something that was out of order on the island of Crete when Paul wrote to Titus. In Titus 3:1-8, Paul gives Titus reminders about the need to truly make an impact on their world.
The Christian's Impact on the World - Part 1 | 9/15/19 AM Sermon
September 15, 2019 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBPerhaps the greatest compliment God ever gave Christians is wrapped in the statement "You are the salt/light of the world." An evaluation of Matt. 5:13-16 demands that we fulfill our role to make a difference in this world.
Ecclesiastes | One Book Series 9/15/19 PM Sermon
September 15, 2019 04:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MB"What's the meaning of life?" Not long after man inhabited this globe humans began to ask that question. The book of Ecclesiastes expected that question and gives us answers. In this lesson we examine how life must never be lived "apart from God" and we look at three practical ways to deal with the frustrations that are common to life (key passages: Ecc. 3:1-15, Ecc. 12:13-14)

What the Bible Means to Us | 9/1/19 PM Sermon
September 01, 2019 04:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MBThe Bible is full of interesting stories, whether about wars, love, giants, giant fish or miraculous events; there are a host of stories that will catch your attention. But these stories aren’t just interesting; they’re important! As we presented our first graders with Bibles, we discussed the significance of reading the Bible; and how reading the Bible can change you!
