Jesus came and He prayed. He went alone to a solitary place to talk to the Father. He then went out to preach the words that transformed. He sent the Holy Spirit into us so that we could preach and show the world righteousness and judgment. (John 16:8-12; Mark 1:35-39) Speaker(s): Pastor Thomas Schaller Sermon […]

In suffering, we recognize our need for the comfort only God can give us. What happens here on earth will be used to bring glory to God. We need to prepare our hearts for the things we will face in the world, the wilderness of carnality. (Isaiah 40:1-5; Romans 8:17) Speaker(s): Zane Turk, Josh Johnson, […]

Men tend to exalt themselves above measure. How does God help us with this? With suffering. We need to be turned to Him and His grace. It is such a blessing to recognize our need for Him. This is humility. (2 Corinthians 12:5-9) Speaker(s): Pastor Thomas Schaller, Pastor Eugene Davis Sermon 12034 11:00 AM on […]

The world gets a lot wrong. One of those wrong things is this: A God of love would not allow pain. But our pain, our thorns in the flesh, our trials and troubles, can serve to glorify Christ. (1 Peter 4:18; 2 Timothy 2:20) Speaker(s): Pastor Thomas Schaller, Pastor Gary Groenewold Sermon 12033 9:00 AM […]

Where would we be without love? He loved us first, before the world was. We were chosen by Him. Mother Theresa spoke of the greatness of love as it is expressed to the smallest, poorest, and weakest among us. Without love, there’s no kindness; life is all noise. (1 Corinthians 13:1-4) Speaker(s): Pastor Thomas Schaller […]

The way of the Church in its edification can free us from discouragement and distress. The Lord fills us with His Spirit and we become people of refreshment. God had made us for more than beauty. Eternity is in our hearts. (Ecclesiastes 3:10-11; Song of Solomon 3:1-4) Speaker(s): Pastor Thomas Schaller, Pastor Jon Post Sermon […]

We can live in amusement — an existence marked by non-thinking. Or, we can live in the edification of the Body of Christ. The Church is a gift to us. There, we find exhortation, relationship, joy, and comfort. We can be built up in the midst of a culture that’s falling apart. (1 Corinthians 14:3-6, […]

The work of building up belongs to all of us. Joy, exhortation, comfort — these are the things that we give to each other as believers. We experience fresh fellowship in our holy faith. (1 Corinthians 14:3; Romans 1:20-21) Speaker(s): Pastor Thomas Schaller Sermon 12029 9:00 AM on 1/24/2021

A huge change came in Acts 2. Jesus had gone away, but the Holy Spirit was sent like a rushing wind. The fire of God came down just as Jesus said it would. Now, we live with Him in us and working through us. (Acts 2:1-4; 1 John 2:20, 27) Speaker(s): Pastor Thomas Schaller, Pastor […]

God runs to our cries. We can obtain help from Him in any situation. We can be like Stephen and like Mordecai, people who stand with Him in His Truth. (Acts 26:22; Esther 3:1-2) Speaker(s): Pastor Steven Scibelli, Pastor Renaldo Brown Sermon 12027 6:30 PM on 1/17/2021 P. Renaldo Brown – Good evening. We’ve had […]
