December 19, 2021 This Child - brings Joy! | Sermon Audio
"Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory" -1 Peter 1:8
Joy is not mustering up some emotion because someone else is happy or putting on the right face when you show up to church. It's something that comes naturally from the heart of one who knows what thy have! If you know what you have in Christ you have true and lasting joy.
If you're battling and you think that you can do the Christian life on your own efforts (do good or earn God's love and therefore His salvation) it's likely you are not living in the joy of the Lord. Remember if your good deeds could save you, then we would all have no hope. Eternal condemnation would be the only future for each and every one of us because we have all fallen short of the glory of God. In fact we cannot even follow all of our own rules we make for ourselves.
Joy is not found in our good works or in keeping from bad deeds…instead it's found in Christ the One who has fulfilled the law and conquered sin and death. He provides life without payment, we don't owe Him anything because we have noting to offer Him of any value.
True joy is an inward heart and feeling of emotion that comes from our position in Christ Jesus.
You don't need to run to temporary pleasures for you will not find joy in them. The glory of God has been revealed, He has come, He has conquered, and salvation is found in no one else. Only Jesus! This is Christmas.

December 13, 2021 This Child Is Love! | Sermon Audio
"So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." -1 John 4:16
The world is reeling, the world is not at peace, the world is disturbed and distressed. So in the days we are living in there is a tension, in part, because the world is heading towards punishment without the true hope of redemption.
I John is showing us that although we too, struggle with fear, We should not struggle as the world does, because we have a perfect Father who loves us and gave us His Son so that we do not have to face the wrath and judgment of God.
We will all stand before God one day. However, because of His blood shed for us the believer in Christ will not be judged for our evil, but for our good.
God has not left you to fend for yourself, this is our confidence and our great defense…
…We stand on Christ’s merits by the Blood
…The Word of our Testimony
…That we are even willing to give our lives for the One who gave His life
If you are struggling today with condemnation and fear I want you to hear this message of true love…
You cannot even imagine the love your Father God has for you. He proved it by coming to earth, by making the greatest sacrifice one could make in order to provide for us what we could not for ourselves - righteousness and peace with God our Father.

December 05, 2021 This Child - Brings Peace! | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick Dyrud reminded us of the things we can anticipate this season - true peace in Jesus.
"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil…shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace." -Ephesians 6:11, 15
The Gospel is peace because…
Jesus is that news of happiness, who brings salvation and peace, who reigns on high and one day will restore all things back together as intended - bringing peace.

As things get more chaotic in the world…
…The Gospel of Peace will more and more be poised to play a critical role prophet to a world in desperate need of Good News.
…The Good News becomes more sweet.

November 29, 2021 This Child - Brings Hope! | Sermon Video
Pr. Kevin Olson reminded us of the things we can anticipate this season - a genuine hope in Jesus.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" -1 Peter 1:3

Anticipate Jesus today, because this Child gives hope!

Hope keeps us going, keeps us motivated for the future - Jesus gives us real hope…
…It's a living hope
He is alive - the cross could not hold Him, death could not stop Him, the grave could not contain Him!
…It is an eternal hope
God's eternal hope is a promise, a confident assurance, a reality that is yet to be seen - it’s real, it's safe, it is protected, the inheritance is kept in heaven.
…it is a powerful hope
It is God's power that is guarding us. It is a powerful hope because it is through faith in Him. If it was your faith it wouldn't be very strong. We constantly question and doubt but when we trust in God, well, that is an unshakeable faith.
…It is a genuine hope
You have to test something to know if it is genuine. Tests reveal to us what is wrong and we need that. God's Word does that for us. When your faith is tested you will come out on the other side with a stronger faith or it will be shown for what is really is.

Where is your hope?
Many of you have been hurt, disappointed, and disillusioned but maybe that is because your expectation were on people rather than on Jesus.

He lives and wants to live in you
He is eternal, He is our inheritance
He I the power of God and He can guard what we entrust to Him.
He is the real deal

November 21, 2021 You've Been Put On Notice | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick closed out our Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts series as he preached on our roles in the Lord's harvest.
"And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." -Luke 10:2
The harvest is plentiful - the basic idea here is there is much to be accomplished in the Kingdom of God here on earth.
The world is hungry for this message of peace and truth - the need is everywhere!
The problem is not the readiness of the harvest but rather the laborers who fail to notice their neighbors, friends, family members, acquaintances who are hungry for the Word of God.
Stop worrying about the how. Instead be attentive to those whom God puts in your path today. They are there for a reason.
The question is where is your attention for the harvest is plentiful.

November 14, 2021 Bear One Another's Burdens | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick preached about bearing one another's burdens as we dive deeper into discovering and living out our spiritual gifts.
"So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." -Galatians 6:10
We are all accountable to each for the spiritual welfare of one another as we struggle in life and with sin, and no one is too good or without need.
What does it look like to bear each other’s burdens…
…Using our God-given gifts to support the Body of Christ intentionally
…Celebrating the victory of forgiveness together
We should celebrate a prodigal coming home like the Father who sees His son a long way off and runs to meet his Son. He doesn’t chastise him for what He did instead he rejoices at his return.

November 07, 2021 Restore with Gentleness | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick preached about the fruits of the Spirit as we dive deeper into discovering and living out our spiritual gifts.
"Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted." -Galatians 6:1
What happens when the line is crossed and someone is caught in sine and it has to be dealt with in the church?
You restore - we are instructed to restore….forgivingly rehabilitate back.
This is what God is in the business of doing and what the church be about…
…restoring our hearts and lives and one day the world and all that has been created that was defected by sin.
God loves to restore that which is broken. We cannot earn it, we don't deserve it. It's all Jesus and the sacrifice He made for us on the Cross.

October 31, 2021 A Spiritual Tug of War | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick preached about the fruits of the Spirit as we dive deeper into discovering and living out our spiritual gifts.
"For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do." -Galatians 5:17
We are in a tug-of-war between our flesh and the Spirit. Each day we can follow the desires of our wants and pleasures rather than walk in-step with the Spirit.
We need the Holy Spirit to transform our selfish hearts and bring us into a new direction.
Fruit grows if you are a branch of the vine! The life of the Spirit grows naturally and organically as a result of natural growth in relationship with God.
The fruit of the Spirit is Jesus in us! It’s not moralism or spiritual elitism. It's not "I'm better than the person next to me". It's that our flesh has been crucified with our Savior and that we are no longest living for the flesh.
It's a life and relationship that takes you…
….places you thought you would never go
…into deeper more meaningful experiences
Following Jesus is a wondrous and majestic journey, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Sometimes it feels confusing, vulnerable, and lonely - like a tug of war.
It's a Spirit led adventure that leads to freedom to live out our God-given abilities and gifts.
