June 23, 2025 Supply Your Faith
In this sermon, we explore the concept of God 'supplying what is lacking in our faith' from 1 Thessalonians. We're reminded that faith isn't static , it's a journey of growth and healing. Just as a broken bone mends or a torn fishing net is repaired, God works to strengthen and complete our faith. This process often involves challenges and trials, but these experiences can actually be gifts that deepen our trust in God. We're encouraged to view our struggles through a lens of hope, recognizing that God is using them to equip us for spiritual battles ahead. Josh & Charity McLaughlin's story illustrates how even in the darkest valleys of life, God's presence remains constant, transforming our perspective and helping us find gratitude in the smallest blessings. This message challenges us to examine where our own faith might need 'mending' and to trust in God's process of spiritual growth.

June 15, 2025 Leading with Encouragement
In this Father's Day sermon, we're reminded of the transformative power of encouragement in our lives and relationships. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians, we explore how true leadership, especially in fatherhood, begins with encouragement rather than criticism. The scripture teaches us to lead with affirmation, followed by comfort, and only then by urging or correction. This pattern challenges our natural tendencies and cultural norms, inviting us to reflect on how we interact with our loved ones and those around us. As we delve into the psychological impact of encouragement, we're called to consider: How might our relationships change if we consistently offered five affirmations for every criticism? This message isn't just for fathers; it's a call for all of us to become people of encouragement, potentially changing the trajectory of someone's life with our words. Let's embrace this biblical wisdom and watch as it transforms our families, friendships, and communities.

June 02, 2025 The Gift of Suffering
In our journey of faith, we often encounter trials and suffering that can leave us feeling unsettled. This message delves into 1 Thessalonians 3, reminding us that we are 'destined' for such challenges. While this may seem disheartening, it's actually a profound spiritual truth. God allows and even plans these difficult seasons not to harm us, but to strengthen our faith and character. The key is to remain 'settled' - grounded in our faith and not swayed by circumstances. Just as a horse learns to overcome its fears through controlled exposure, God uses our trials to help us grow. He doesn't always remove our struggles, but He promises to be with us through them. This 'gift of suffering' may be hard to accept, but it's through these experiences that we often find our greatest spiritual growth and the ability to encourage others in their faith journey.

May 26, 2025 Receiving and Believing
This message is a powerful reminder of how life-changing God’s Word can be. In 1 Thessalonians 2, Paul thanks those who didn’t just hear the Word—they accepted it as God’s truth. We’re challenged to see Scripture not as ordinary words, but as the living, active voice of God. When we shift our perspective like that, the Bible becomes more than a book—it becomes personal. As we read and believe, God’s Word works in us, changing our hearts and shaping us to be more like Christ. It’s a reminder to stay rooted in Scripture every day—it’s how real transformation begins.

May 19, 2025 Motives and Methods
This sermon looks at 1 Thessalonians and explores the ideas of followership and leadership. It focuses on Paul and Silas, who continued to share the Gospel despite being beaten and thrown in prison in Philippi. Even in jail, they sang praises at midnight, showing how strong faith can carry us through hard times. Their story reminds us to hold to our beliefs and speak the truth, even when it’s difficult. It also shows that leadership means being honest, putting others first, and staying committed to what’s right. When we live this way, our actions can point others to God.

May 12, 2025 For Such A Time As This
The story of Queen Esther reminds us that we are all placed in our current circumstances for a divine purpose. Just as Esther was positioned to save her people, we too are called 'for such a time as this.' This powerful narrative challenges us to recognize God's hand in our lives, even when situations seem dire or confusing. It encourages us to step out in faith, knowing that our experiences and relationships are preparing us for God's greater plan. The message urges us to consider: What if our current struggles or unexpected life changes are actually God's way of equipping us for a crucial moment ahead? By embracing this perspective, we can find courage to face our fears and fulfill our God-given purpose, just as Esther did when she approached the king at great personal risk.

May 04, 2025 Followership to Leadership
In our spiritual journey, we're called to be both followers and leaders. This message explores the transition from imitation to inspiration, drawing parallels with a horse learning to navigate mountain trails. Just as the horse gains confidence by following an experienced leader, we too can grow in our faith by imitating those who walk closely with Christ. The key scripture, 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7, reminds us that we 'became imitators of us and of the Lord' and then 'became a model to all the believers.' This progression challenges us to consider who we're following and whether we're setting a worthy example for others. Are our words and actions aligned with Christ's teachings? As we commune with God through His Word and surround ourselves with positive influences, we're better equipped to lead others towards a life of faith and purpose. Let's reflect on our role as both imitators and models, striving to embody Christ's love in all we do.

April 28, 2025 Actions Prompted by Attitudes
In this enlightening message, we delve into the powerful teachings found in 1 Thessalonians, exploring the transformative power of intentional gratitude and faith-driven action. The apostle Paul's words remind us of the importance of cultivating a heart of thanksgiving, not just in moments of abundance, but as a daily practice. We're challenged to shift our perspective from focusing on life's problems to recognizing and appreciating our blessings. This message encourages us to let our faith produce meaningful actions, our love inspire hard work, and our hope fuel endurance in our spiritual journey. It's a call to let God work from the inside out, transforming our character rather than merely modifying our behavior. As we reflect on these teachings, we're invited to examine our own lives and ask: Are our actions truly rooted in faith? Is our labor prompted by love? And does our endurance spring from a genuine hope in Christ?
