Episodes
Pure Religion
August 26, 2018 22:39 - 40 minutes - 23 MBPastor John Dobritch 08/19/2018 We should pay close attention to the words that flow from our mouths. Day-to-day, many of us do not pay much attention to what we say. We just let the words flow without regard to the detriment they bring.
The Nature of God
August 26, 2018 22:29 - 41 minutes - 24 MBPastor John Dobritch 08/12/2018 Without the Word of God, there is no way we can understand the nature of God. There are some things that we can learn from the creation of God but it would be very difficult to see His nature by observation of the world.
Do Christians Sin
August 26, 2018 00:01 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MBPastor John Dobritch 08/05/2018 Once you become Christian, God begins to change you. If you are saved, you will sin from time to time but will not practice it as a way of life. There will be a difference from the old life you once lived to your new life.
Church Leadership
August 25, 2018 23:45 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MBPastor John Dobritch 07/29/2018 Leadership in the Church is something that is very important. It is not there for itself. The leaders that God provides in the Church are servants of the Church and God. We are here for the benefit of the congregation, the people of God.
Trials and Temptations
August 25, 2018 23:11 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MBPastor Dave Frye July 22, 2018 We all experience trials and temptations in this world. How do we respond to them when they interrupt our lives? Do we get angry or frustrated? Do we try to escape them as quickly as possible? Do we give in and go with the flow then deal with the fallout later? Do we just give up and have pity on ourselves? Do we complain to others around us in despair?
Forgetting the Past
July 15, 2018 20:29 - 35 minutes - 20.1 MBPastor John Dobritch 07/15/2018 God has given us a different perspective on our lives. God has done away with our past and has given us a new life. To forget does not mean to wipe something from your memory.
The Man of Lawlessness
July 08, 2018 19:32 - 43 minutes - 30 MBPastor John Dobritch The Five Characteristics of those who are Antichrists. 1. They deny that God became man. 2. They deny God the Father (1 John 2:22) 3. They do not have the Father (1 John 2:23) 4. They are liars and deceivers (1 John 2:22) 5. Those who departed the Church (1 John 2:19) The man of lawlessness is defiant of all law, is doomed to destruction, exalts himself over everything that is called God, and will demand to be worshiped.
Do You Build Bridges or Walls
July 07, 2018 22:03 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBWe have been called to be bridge builders as God's people. We need to build bridges with people. We need to reach out to people around us. God built a bridge to reconcile men and God to be restored. He took the first step. He is the Reconciler.
The Great I Am
July 07, 2018 20:55 - 43 minutes - 59.6 MBPastor Dave Frye The Great I AM From the very beginning, God wanted mankind to know who He was. He consistently revealed Himself and His nature throughout the Scriptures in word and deed. God told Moses to tell the children of Israel that "I Am" sent him. When he said, "Before Abraham was, I Am" infuriated the Jewish leaders because they knew that He just made the claim that He was God.
One Thing You Lack
July 07, 2018 20:20 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MBPastor John Dobritch The Rich Young Man If Jesus was looking for a new recruit for His team, this seems to be one of the best candidates for the job. By comparison of the woman at the well, he seems much more qualified and sincere.
First Fruit
July 04, 2018 18:45 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBPastor John Dobritch 06/10/2018 Exodus 23:19 We get fruit all winter from different places. But there is nothing as good as the home-grown fruits and vegetables. In Old Testament times, God enjoyed what is called first-fruits. God laid claim to the first-fruits of what was grown. God has called us to bring the BEST of the first fruits to the house of the Lord your God. The first ripe fruit was representative of the entire harvest. This was an acknowledgment that the harvest was p...
A Pattern for the Church
July 04, 2018 17:55 - 40 minutes - 39.2 MBPastor John Dobritch 06/03/2018 2 Timothy 3:16-17 The focus of the Church is God’s work, the Bible. It is impossible for Christians to mature in faith, hope, and love without God’s word in their daily lives. Some churches do not even open the Bible during their services. Thankfully, our church is one that gets into the Scriptures weekly and digs deeply into its teaching.
Pray
June 10, 2018 21:59 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBPastor John Dobritch 5/27/2018 Communication is so vital to any relationship. It can lead to a deep and loving relationship with people and God. Jesus teaches us to pray. P-R-A-Y P-Praise R-Remember A-Ask Y-Yield Our prayers should always be for the will of God to be accomplished. Our prayer should not be for the purpose of our own will. Too many times this is the case. How often do you come before God with your will and purpose in mind with no consideration to His will for y...
The Work of the Spirit
June 10, 2018 19:37 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MBPastor Dave Frye 05/20/2018 This moment was a turning point in the history of God's Kingdom. For the first time, God's Spirit was poured out on all believers. His Spirit collectively empowers the Church in a way that God's people haven't experienced up to this time.
Promise of the Holy Spirit Part 2
May 26, 2018 21:22 - 38 minutes - 35.8 MBPastor John Dobritch 04/22/2018
Jesus Heals the Demon-possessed Man
March 10, 2018 00:15 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBPastor John Dobritch Jesus has greater power than any evil spirit that is in the world. Satan has his followers that are spirit and they have power over those who do not know God. We should never pursue evil spirits. We have been called out of this way of life and should avoid it. Just as Jesus rescued this demon-possessed man, he has rescued us. We all know our individual backgrounds and we know how he has brought us out of our sinfulness. Though we still sin and fall short of His glory...
Living As Children of Light
January 14, 2018 14:19 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MBPastor Dave Frye Salvation is not simply an improvement of what previously existed. It is a total transformation of who we are. When we become believers, we have a new mind, a new heart, a new will, a new inheritance, a new relationship, new power, new knowledge, and wisdom. Everything is new.
The Incarnation
January 06, 2018 22:59 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MBPastor John Dobritch This is a personal message to you and me and everyone. He is entering a personal relationship with all believers. He will knock but will not enter until you open the door and let Him in. He is seeking a relationship with us but it is our decision. He will not force himself upon us. Is our relationship with Him ongoing and growing deeper or are we stagnant in our faithfulness toward Him. Are we listening to Him and talking with Him. Are we letting Him closer with us?...
The Return of Jesus
December 11, 2017 02:07 - 31 minutes - 22.1 MBPastor John Dobritch Keep doing the work that God has given you to do until the day that Jesus returns. He will return and will come suddenly and will not be expected. What is our responsibility as a Christian? We should live holy and Godly lives. One day we will live in the home of righteousness. Do not be deceived and keep the faith and remain confident in the promises of God. In this world, there is no happily ever after. We will face difficulties, trials, and death. But the time is ...
Grace of Giving
December 10, 2017 22:46 - 42 minutes - 29.2 MBPastor Nora Smith When we think of Jesus giving His life, we think of the crucifixion. But we must remember that He temporarily gave up his prerogatives and privileges of His deity. This was another part of His giving to us.
A New Creation
October 29, 2017 19:08 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MBPastor John Dobritch 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 If we are in Christ, we are a new creation. The old creation is gone and the new one has arrived on the scene. There is a miracle that happens in each person’s life who becomes Christian because we are transformed into something brand new. We are now born into a lifelong relationship with God and our Savior Jesus Christ.
God's Rest
October 22, 2017 00:05 - 43 minutes - 49.5 MBPastor Dave Frye God has given every Christian rest in their souls. What does that mean for us? What is our complete rest going to look like? What shall we do as we wait for His rest? Hebrews 4:7 Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: “Today, if you hear his voice, Do not harden your hearts.”
Gossiping
October 21, 2017 23:24 - 37 minutes - 17.4 MBPastor John Dobritch Proverbs 18:8 Gossip is like choice morsels and goes down the man’s inmost parts. Lies spread quickly and gossip and lies travel fast. When gossip is spread it gets further and further from the truth than when it was first told. Gossip hurts the person that is being lied about.
Lying
October 21, 2017 23:06 - 39 minutes - 27.6 MBPastor John Dobritch Ephesians 4:21-25 As a Christian, we should always tell the truth. We should be careful of the words that we speak. We will be held accountable for what we say and do in this world. When we lie, we are entering the domain of Satan. Lying is not a casual thing. I am not sure there are levels of lying.
Criticizing
October 21, 2017 22:38 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MBPastor John Dobritch When we complain, we are not complaining to people, we are complaining to God. He has done greater things for us than he did for the Israelites. When we complain, God takes it personally. We need to take our eyes off of ourselves and keep them on God.
True Worshipers
September 10, 2017 18:57 - 41 minutes - 47.8 MBPastor John Dobritch John 4:23 How, when and where do we worship? Jesus said the time is already here when true worshipers will worship the Father in truth and spirit. There are those who are false worshipers but God is seeking true worshipers. We want to be the kind of true worshipers that God is seeking.
A Different Perspective on Persecution
September 10, 2017 18:49 - 37 minutes - 42.9 MBPastor John Dobritch Spiritually speaking, if you are on Jesus’ team and are not engaged in the game and boldly going out to serve him or lifting people in prayer. Are you really a threat to Satan? Are you a Christian in name only? Are you only sitting on the bench with the jersey on? You can make a difference and you know it but you do not get involved. Therefore, the enemy doesn’t bother you because you are not a threat.
A Different Calling
September 10, 2017 18:41 - 40 minutes - 46.2 MBPastor John Dobritch Three different types of calling Our eternal call to Jesus Christ for our salvation. A temporary call to an assignment (maybe ministry, mission work) A daily call by God to us to a different standard When you know who you are, you will know what to do? If the who isn’t right, the do will never be right.
A Different Perspective in an Unholy Culture
September 10, 2017 18:31 - 39 minutes - 44.9 MBPastor John Dobritch We are holy, set apart and different. We are pure in the sight of God. He wants us to live pure and holy lives. If you are not different from the world, you are not following Jesus Christ. The biggest obstacle of following Jesus Christ is the attempt to fit in. It is not God’s desire to remove us from this earth but God wants us to live a certain way.
