Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Micah 5:1-5a, titled “The Savior in Bethlehem.” Where do we look to find someone to make things better? We all live by the hope that someone somewhere will fix life for us. This Sunday we start an Advent series seeing how God prepared for the birth of his son. Micah 5:1-5a points to where we are to look.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Esther 8:3 – 10:3, titled “Let’s Celebrate!” How do we celebrate the holidays as Christians? We do enjoy the food, people, and festivities as others do. But we especially direct our joyful hearts and gratitude to God, the source of all our blessings. In these final chapters of Esther (8-10) we see how God’s people celebrated God’s goodness and saving power.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Esther 6:1 – 8:2, titled “Sweet Victory.” Do we trust God to make things right? Do we trust God’s timing? When events in life are the bleakest, God delights in suddenly turning it all around. We see how God does this in Esther 6:1 – 8:2.

Pastor John Gorter joins us with a message from Esther 4-5, titled “Willing to Be Used.” Ever wonder why God placed you where you are—in your family, school, career path, or community? Even if that place feels dark or difficult, Esther 4-5 (especially 4:15) reminds us of God’s call to be used by Him in any situation.

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 4:4-7, 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.
