Catalyst Church Sermons

From Acts chapter 10 we hear the story of two conversions; both of Cornelius and Peter.

You may have heard the story of Gideon as a child but now it's time to hear his story again as an adult.

This week Pastor Jeff explores the story of a woman not even named but her generous spirit has caused her story to live forever. 

What if Kingdom hospitality and generosity had more to do with our heart and courage to share our lives then our wealth and personality... how would we grow personally and how would the kingdom grow? This week Lisa Olson speaks about the dynamic ministry couple of Priscilla and Aquilla. 

This week we look at Jethro, the Father in Law to Moses, and the key role he plays in mentoring Moses and guiding him in leadership.  Pastor Jeff pushes us to think about the people we are allowing to guide and shape us, and how are we sharing what we have to build the next generation.  We begin with the scripture reading form Exodus and Pastor Jeff prays for Fathers and the events of the last week in our region and around the world.  Take a listen

This week Pastor Jeff looks at the conclusion of Esther’s story and we celebrate the redemption of God’s people. We also struggle together with this text that describes the murder and genocide of the enemies of the Jewish people. If you have ever wondered why the Old Testament has stories that don’t seem to fit with our New Testament story of love and redemption this is a great sermon for you. 

This week we examine chapter 3 and 6 of Esther and look at the story of Haman. In this message we look at what is pride, what it does and what steps can we learn from this chapter in how to move away from it. 

This week we examined chapter 4 of Esther and looked at Esther's power, problem and perspective. How might we be empowered by God even in times of deep fear and what might God be calling us to even if it means risking something for that call?
