Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Esther 2:19 – 3:15, titled “Two World Views”. What is a worldview? How we look at reality and live it out affects the way we respond to God and how we treat others. In Esther 2:19 – 3:15 we will see very different worldviews and how they clash.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Esther 1:1 – 2:18, titled “A New Queen.” We may wonder at times if there are any true Christians in government. Are there Christians in leadership of educational institutions, the entertainment industry, or large corporations? As we begin going through Esther (1:1 - 2:18) we see that God does plant his people in influential positions and has special plans for them.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Philippians 4:14-20, titled “Offerings.” Why do we give offerings and financial gifts at church and elsewhere? Why does God tell us to give financially? As we conclude our series in Philippians (4:14-20) we see the value of our giving. Not only are causes we give to helped. But we ourselves also receive a benefit. And giving is a way to show our love for God.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Philippians 4:8-9, titled “Noble Thoughts.” How do we manage our thoughts so they are God-honoring? And how do we cultivate healthy thought patterns? The Bible has a lot to say about our thought life. This includes Philippians 4:8-9, which we will carefully review Sunday morning.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Philippians 4:4-7, titled “Rejoice in the Lord.” How can we rejoice when there is little to be happy about? Christians turn to the loving heavenly Father. In this passage we see that God does something better than take away our problems and heartaches.

Pastor Rob Byker joins us with a message from Psalm 16, titled “Taking Christ as Your Portion and Your Cup.” Sometimes evangelists sharing Christ on the street will cry out, "Have you taken Christ as your personal Savior?" It's an unsettling question and a blunt approach. And yet, it is also a key question every heart must wrestle with. But there is second question every Christian must ask, "Have I taken Christ as my Portion and my Cup?" That's the question we will explore this morning.

David says in Psalm 16:5 "LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup". This means David ranks the LORD as his top joy and his great hope. David's choice inspires his worship, informs his service and secures his heart amid the troubles and threats he faces. Every Christian who takes Christ as their Portion and Cup will experience a similar blessing.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Philippians 3:1-11, titled “Losing, Gaining.” Have you ever bragged on how religious you are? Have you ever wanted to? In Philippians 3:1-11 we see how this kind of religion sucks out our joy. We’re reminded how Christ alone makes us good and gives us his joy.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Proverbs 6:6-11, titled “Call to Work.” Where does our work ethic come from? Christians derive their work ethic from the Bible. We will scan Scripture to see what God is telling us about our approach to work.
