Welcome to Connections Church Online!

Pastor Sheri Admiraal, from Hope Fellowship CRC, has a message from Matthew 15:21-28, “The Stacked Deck of Grace”. God’s grace is something that far exceeds our human understanding. We have our own standards of inclusion vs. exclusion, restriction vs. freedom, judgment vs. grace. The cards of life that we are dealt often are stacked one way – either in favor or against us – according to societal or cultural standards. But no matter what cards in life we are dealt, God showers his grace upon us, through faith, by the working of the Holy Spirit. If God has showered his grace upon us, so are we called to receive God’s grace in our own lives and extend it to others.

Pastor Evan Kim has a message from Ephesians, titled “The Armor of God”. His message, The Armor of God, is a well-known passage in which Paul compares Christian living to warfare. In Ephesians 6:10-18, Paul provides a threefold map to fighting the spiritual battle: knowing our enemy, knowing our equipment, and knowing our engagement. Ultimately, we may rest in the truth that it is Jesus who is fighting with us and who has already secured our victory.

Yvonne Biel has a message in preparation for Pentecost from Acts 1-2, titled "Day 50". This week we learn that there are too many Christians living defeated lives, losing the battle, and settling for a painful tormented life of discouragement and despair. Resurrection seems to be a far-off reality and Christians are walking around powerless letting the enemy take the upper hand. Why does it feel like Christians are losing the battle when the victory has already been won? How come we feel powerless? Perhaps Christians are getting stuck between Resurrection and Pentecost. Let's look at Pentecost and the keys it gives us to Kingdom victory.

Pastor Paul Jorden joins us with a message from John 1:35-42, titled “What it Takes to Do the Introductions.” Jesus instructed his disciples in the art of making more disciples, emphasizing reliance on God. Today, we follow this model by actively seeking opportunities to share His message, trusting in God to guide the outcomes.

Connections Church welcomes back Pastor Rob Byker with a message from Jeremiah 13:1-11, titled “A Belt for God’s Glorious Reputation.”Join us as we learn how sometimes the Prophets teach through object lessons. God instructs Jeremiah to buy a linen belt and then bury it in a river bank. Jeremiah returns months later to retrieve the belt and finds it completely ruined. Jeremiah shows the people his ruined belt and says, “You have become like this useless belt.” How do Christian’s become corrupt? Even more, what steps do we need to take to become the people God desires us to be? We will explore such questions in the message: A Belt for God’s Glorious Reputation.

Connections Church welcomes back Pastor Rob Byker with a message from Proverbs 24:13-14, titled “Savor the Sweetness!”. Just as honey is sweet to the taste buds, wisdom is sweet to our souls. While Christianity does contain some difficult duties, it is also a pleasurable thing which yields many blessings. It is no wonder Proverbs encourages us to savor the sweetness of knowing wisdom!

Connections Church welcomes back Pastor Rob Byker for our second Advent message with a message, "God With Us: Peace", from Isaiah 57:14-21. This Advent we remember that God desires to be with us! Some think of peace as the absence of conflict but the Bible pictures peace in a fuller way. Peace is also the presence of harmony in our relationship with Him. He does everything necessary for peace but calls us to honest tears over our sin.
