Luke 18.1

Pastor Steve Nichols

John 4:3-35

Pastor Jim Galvin

Matthew 28:16-20

Pastor Bill Abernathy

Last week we studied Matthew 16 and saw that the Church has been called out by God. Now, as the Gospel of Matthew closes, we see that we are also sent out.

Matthew 16:13-19

Pastor Bill Abernathy

Many people today don’t think the Church is very important, but Jesus does. The word “church” occurs for the first time in Matthew 16. The Greek word means “called out ones.” This passage shows us a little of what that means and helps us see what the Church is and why it matters.

1 Chronicles 29:10-19

Pastor Bill Abernathy

David wanted to build God’s temple, but God said “no.” David didn’t become bitter. Instead he prepared for Solomon to build it. In 1 Chronicles 28-29 David’s heart for God is revealed. Let’s just examine a small piece of those chapters and notice what David teaches us about eternal investments.

Joshua 24:28-33

Pastor Bill Abernathy

If Joshua wrote the book that bears his name, he did not write these last verses of it. Here the author reflects on the impact of the life of Joshua – even in the words God guides him to use about Joshua. Let’s think about how Joshua left a legacy and how we can, too.

1 Corinthians 3:5-15

Pastor Josh Greiner

1 Peter 5:1-7

Pastor Bill Abernathy

Everything rises and falls on leadership. Thus, this question is critical for all of us, and Peter, while not giving us a specific name, does help us see who he MUST be. Three terms are used for him. These are NOT different offices, but three roles of a pastor.

Matthew 25:14-30

Pastor Ryan Bump
