Yvonne Biel joins us with a message from Matthew 8, titled “Jesus is in your Boat.” Storms of life happen to even the bravest of disciples, but it often takes us until we hit a point of desperation before we realize the presence and power of Jesus available to us. As we study Matthew chapter 8, we will remember who Jesus is and what he can do for us in the midst of the storm.

Pastor Rob Byker joins us with a message from Matthew 25:1-13, titled “Keeping Your Love Real.” The foolish bridesmaids do not bring reserve oil to welcome the groom with lamps to light His path. The groom comes when they least expect it and they are not prepared for him. Jesus says that He is the groom and we must always be ready for His return. We will be wise to prepare for His coming by keeping our love for Him real, warm and vital!

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Luke 6:37-42, titled “Judging Others.” You’re not allowed to judge,” many will say as they defend their immoral actions. That’s what Jesus seems to say in Luke 6:37-42. But we’re also told by Jesus and in other parts of Scripture that we must judge immoral behavior. As we look at this passage, it will help us to understand the Sermon on the Plain as wisdom literature. We will also find ourselves thinking about Australia!

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Luke 6:17-26, titled “How Are You Really?” How are you really? Jesus answers that for us in his “sermon on the plain,” similar to his “sermon on the mount.” As we start this series, we see in Luke 6:20-26 that our true situation may be different that we’re going through right now. If we follow Jesus, we are blessed.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Job 19:25-27, titled “My Redeemer Lives.” Is it OK to desire honor? To be well-thought-of in the community and respected by family, classmates, coworkers, and others? But there are times in our lives when we lose our honor: rejection by family or friends, failure in a school or work project, false rumors spread, loss of dignity when aging or getting dementia. In Job 19:25-27 we see that someone is there to restore our honor.
