June 30, 2019 THE GOOD WORK – WHEN YOU CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE
Each one of us has a good work to do. We may not see it yet, but it’s often right there in front of our eyes. For Nehemiah, it was a crumbled wall. For you, it could be an injustice in the world, or a need you see what no one else does. During this series, we will learn how Nehemiah responded to his own calling and learn how we can change our own world just by leaning into the unique calling that God has put in front of each of us. This four-week series will take a closer look at the good work God called Nehemiah to do and show us how his story can be an example in our own lives. God has called us all to a good work in our world, in our neighborhood, or in our family. This series will challenge us to find our purpose, understand our opposition, and give us the tools and encouragement to live out our calling.
The Good Work:When You Can’t Take it Anymore
Text: Nehemiah 1:2-6, 11; 2:4-5, 18

Our God specializes in using very ordinary, everyday people.
What do you do when you don’t know what to do?

HOW DO YOU BEGIN THE GOOD WORK?

1.You Sit Down to Cry.
We feel so distant from the crisis, what can we do?
•You choose to either push the pain away and settle down in your comfort or you choose to let the pain into your heart to motivate you to action.
What breaks your heart?
2.YOU KNEEL DOWN TO PRAY.
What you pray about really reflects what you believe about God.
3.YOU STAND UP TO ACT.
Tears turn to prayers and prayers drive you to action.
You may not finish alone, and you may not do it alone, but nothing will happen until you start it.

Somebody’s got do something—Might as well be me!Do the GOOD WORK!

May 19, 2019 LFTL Sunday: Don’t Use A Silencer
LFTL SundayDon’t Use a Silencer
2 Peter 3:9
May 19, 2019
Pastor Tom Cogle
Satan has tried and couldn’t kill the author of life, so today he is trying to silence the message about who Jesus is and what He did for us.
Silencing the message is just as effective as killing the author of life!
How Does Satan try to Silence the Message of Life?
I.He will attempt to silence our witness.
II.Satan will try to deaden our compassion by making other things more attractive.
III.Satan will deceive many as to the ultimate destiny of those who die without accepting Jesus as Savior.
IV.Satan will cause confusion among us as to our responsibility.
V.Satan will blind us to the cost of our disobedience.
Will you say “YES” to sharing the message about Jesus?

May 05, 2019 Things Jesus Never Said-“Go, Do What Make You Happy”
Series: Things Jesus Never Said
Message: “Go, Do What Makes Your Happy”
Text: John 8:2-11
Pastor Tom Cogle
Sunday, May 5, 2019
Jesus did not say:
•Go into all the world and preach whatever makes people happy.
•Whoever wants to be my disciple, must affirm themselves, avoid the cross, and follow their own heart.
•Ask and it will be given to you, because God is your Celestial Sugar Daddy.
This is what Jesus did say:
Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
WHY DO WE GIVE IN TO THE TEMPTATION TO SIN?
•It’s fun!
Sin promises satisfaction at the cost of disobedience to God and eventual pain to you.
Why do so many of us end up giving in to temptation?
•Without a belief in absolute truth, then truth is defined by whatever makes me happy.
We tend to look for happiness in all the wrong places.
Holiness isn’t mutually exclusive of happiness, in fact, they are very, very related.
Our God is faithful, and He will always give you a way out.
Every temptation is an invitation to depend on Christ!
Remorse – I got caught, I’m sorry
Repent – Turn to a higher power

April 28, 2019 THINGS JESUS NEVER SAID – “You Don’t Need to Forgive Them”
These days it’s easy to see life the way we want to. We can filter our images, pick the news we want to hear, and listen only to the viewpoints that agree with us. When we do that, we start to distort our view of the world. The same thing can happen to our view of God. We reshape our perception of Him into what we want to believe, or what we want to think about others. Jesus came to bring us the truth about God and His plan for us, and it doesn’t always sound like what you may think. This series cuts through the noise of the world’s perceptions of Jesus and what it means to follow Him, in ways that may be surprising to some people. It plays off the idea of memes as jokes, rhetorical devices, and sources of misinformation to debunk popular misconceptions and bring clear truth.
Series: Things Jesus Never Said
Message: “You Don’t Need To Forgive Them”
Text: Matthews 6:9-15
Sunday, April 28, 2019
Pastor Tom Cogle

Jesus did not say:•“Forgive us our debts even though we are still holding grudges.”•“I’ll forgive you, but you don’t have to forgive what someone else did to you.”
Forgiving others creates lots of emotion and rightly so!“You don’t know what someone did to me.”
Two levels of pain:
1.When someone hurts of abuses you.
2.When someone hurts or abuses someone you love.
How do you forgive something that seems unforgivable?

•Remember, He’s not MY Father, but OUR Father.
•We are His children – It makes God happy when His children get along.
•Unforgiveness hurts His heart!

“But what if I’m not there yet—Still mad—What do I do?”

•Prayer a prayer asking forgiveness
•Your prayer may or may not change others, but it always changes you!

Forgive – “hurl it away”
Forgive because God has forgiven you.

“Holding a grudge doesn’t make you strong. It makes you bitter. Forgiving doesn’t make you weak. It sets you free.”

Forgiveness empowers you to set the prisoner free, and you realize the prisoner was you.

April 14, 2019 Jesus: The Eucharist
Text: 1 Corinthians 11
Sunday, April 14, 2019
Palm Sunday
Pastor Tom Cogle
Three important
questions concerning the Eucharist:
I. IS THE EUCHARIST A
SYMBOL?
When we break bread
during communion, we remember that Christ’s body was broken for us.
Furthermore, the cup
of juice is a symbol of Jesus’ blood that was shed to cover our sins.
II. IS THE EUCHARIST
MORE THAN A SYMBOL?
When we participate in
Eucharist, God is here and present in that moment.
III. WHAT IS OUR PART
IN THE EUCHARIST?
Before we participate
in the Eucharist, Paul tells us in that we are first to examine
ourselves—search our hearts.
Romans 8:32
He who did not spare
His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all.

Series: One Minute After You Die
Message: The Majesty of Heaven
Text: John 14:1-6
Pastor Tom Cogle

WHAT YOU BELIEVE ABOUT

THREE MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT HEAVEN
1. HEAVEN WILL BE BORING.

Heaven is the opposite of boredom.
It’s the absence of evil and the presence of God!

Heaven will be a place of unimaginable beauty.

In heaven, you will see Jesus face to face.

In Heaven, you will have new and perfect bodies.

Heaven is the absence of everything bad, painful, and evil.
It’s the presence of everything good, holy and glorious.

2. THAT THIS WORLD IS OUR HOME

Our life here is but a mist, a vapor.

3. MOST PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HEAVEN.

Good people don’t go to Heaven, forgiven people go to Heaven.

Goals for this series:
1. Relieve Fear – you don’t have to fear death.
2. Increase Urgency – give yourself to the work of the Lord.

Without God”
Text: Luke 16:19-31

WHAT YOU BELIEVE ABOUT
ETERNITY DETERMINES HOW YOU LIVE TODAY.
WHY DOES HELL EXIST?
1. HELL EXISTS FOR GOD
TO DEAL RIGHTEOUSLY WITH
2. HELL EXISTS FOR GOD
TO DEAL RIGHTEOUSLY WITH
If we don’t accept the
reality of hell, we’ll never appreciate the glory of the gospel and the
goodness of Jesus.
FOUR LESSONS FROM THE
OTHER SIDE Luke 16:19-31
1. The rich man was
fully conscious and aware.
2. The rich man’s
eternal destiny was irrevocably fixed.
3. The rich man knew
that his suffering was just and fair.
4. The rich man begged
and pleaded for someone to help his brothers know Jesus.
If you for a moment
stood in front of the holiness of God, you would recognize the depth of your
wickedness.
John MacArthur says,
“You either have Christ pay for your sins on the cross or, if you reject
Christ, you pay for each and every sin in the Lake of Fire.”
John 3:16
16 For God so loved
the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall
not perish but have eternal life.

March 03, 2019 Mastermind: Reframing Your Mind
Series: MASTERMIND
Message: Reframing Your Mind
Text(s): Ephesians 6:10-12 2 Corinthians 10_3-5 Philippians 1:12-14
Pastor Tom Cogle
Sunday, March 3, 2019

Reframing—Creating a different way of looking at a situation, person or relationship by changing its meaning. (Different Filter)

You can’t control what happens to you.
But you can control how you frame it.

The Apostle Paul was in prison, but instead of seeing his bad predicament, he chose to see the good.

How do we live this out when our thoughts can often drift toward the negative, the critical, discouraging thoughts, self-defeating language?

REFRAMING YOUR STORY AND RELATIONSHIPS

1.THANK GOD FOR WHAT DIDN’T HAPPEN. (Bad)
2.PRACTICE PRE-FRAMING.
3.LOOK FOR GOD’S GOODNESS.

You can choose to see the bad and you will see it.
OR: You can choose to see the good and you will see the good!

Instead of interpreting God through our circumstances, may we interpret our circumstances through the goodness of God.
