December 29, 2024A Noble Task - 1 Timothy 3
Welcome! Join us as Staff Minister Chad White focuses on ⁠1 Timothy 3. Gospel ministry is a noble task because it requires steep qualifications and because it handles the most valuable thing in the universe. Have a wonderful and blessed week!
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sermon study questions for Connect Group discussion, and for personal reflection:
What are some things you really value in a profession and why?

How would you feel if one of your children wanted to pursue being a pastor or other full-time ministry? Why?

How could you as an individual, or we as a church, better evaluate and encourage our pastors and called workers using the qualifications in 1 Timothy 3? What challenges do our called workers face in upholding these qualifications?

In Verse 15 Paul calls the church "God’s household… the church of the living God... and the pillar and foundation of the truth.” What comfort but also what motivation does this give for you and for our pastors and called workers?

Meditate on Verse 16. How does this verse deepen your appreciation and understanding of Christ's work?

September 07, 2024This Is Who I Am - 1 Timothy 1:12-17
Welcome! Join us Sunday as Pastor Joel Hering focuses on⁠ ⁠1 Timothy 1:12-17. Sayings can be powerful, so powerful that sometimes they can change the way we live our lives. We focus on the trustworthy saying from the Bible: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." Pastor explores the context of this saying and its implications for our lives. It emphasizes that we are all sinners and that Jesus came to save us, regardless of how 'good' or 'bad' we think we are. Pastor Joel encourages honesty and accountability among Christians and reminds us of the immense love and mercy of God. Jesus came to save me, a sinner, is a saying that powerfully effects our lives. Have a wonderful and blessed week!
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sermon study questions for Connect Group discussion, and for personal reflection:
Read Acts 7:54-8:3 and 9:1-19. What makes Paul a great example of the mercy, grace and patience of God?

Active verbs are verbs you do. Passive verbs are verbs that are done to you. Notice in this section who is the one doing the active verbs and who is the object of the passive verbs. What is the doctrinal insight you get from making the comparison.

What is the importance of identity?

Who are you according to the Bible?

September 07, 2024I'm Pretty Sure Jesus Is Not The Problem - Mark 6:52 & Mark 8:17
Welcome! Join us Sunday as Pastor Donald Patterson focuses on⁠ Mark 6:52 & Mark 8:17. Pastor emphasizes that Jesus is not the problem. It's our hardened hearts, but God knows what to do about it. We need to trust in God's presence, ability, and willingness to help. In these passages, the disciples struggled with hardness of heart despite witnessing Jesus perform miracles. We need to see the importance of recognizing God's presence in difficult situations and surrendering control to Him. Pastor encourages us to have faith in God's ability to provide and to trust in His plan, even when it doesn't align with their own expectations. Have a wonderful and blessed week!
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sermon study questions for Connect Group discussion, and for personal reflection:
Find the context around the two sermon passages from Mark’s Gospel. What is similar about them

What surprises you about Jesus telling the disciples that fear in the first text and confusion in the second text, both came from hardness of hearts?

What are some common ways that even we Christians harden our hearts in certain areas?

What does God do to soften hearts?

React to this statement: “If a small problem or negative event in one our interpersonal relationships seem big and also seems to linger in our mind, it may be from our hardness of heart and not the other person.”

September 07, 2024Given To Give - Mark 6:35-44
Welcome! Join us Sunday as Pastor Joel Hering focuses on⁠ ⁠Mark 6:35-44. Pastor discusses the process of preaching sermons and applying God's word to different audiences. The main theme revolves around the idea of running the marathon to heaven and the lessons learned along the way. Pastor highlights three truths: Jesus commands the impossible, God generously provides for us to give to others, and when we look at the gifts, we see the gracious giver. Jesus tells us to do the impossible and then does it so we place our trust in Him. Have a wonderful and blessed week!
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sermon study questions for Connect Group discussion, and for personal reflection:
Why does Jesus ask the impossible of his disciples and us? That doesn't seem very nice.

Jesus took 5 loaves and 2 fish and fed 5,000+ people. True or False? The good I do is so small that it is insignificant.

True or False? Being a follower of Jesus means I will be abundantly provided for.

True or False? I will always have enough; therefore, I can always be generous to others.

September 07, 2024Jesus Christ, CEO of Peaceful Sheep LLC - Mark 6:30-34
Welcome! Join us Sunday as Pastor Joel Hering focuses on⁠ ⁠Mark 6:30-34. Pastor discusses the importance of dating after marriage and how it transforms into more in depth conversations, essentially board meetings. Couples need to take a step back and analyze their marriage from an outside perspective. Joel talks about having a board meeting with Jesus, discussing the mission of Jesus and his followers. Jesus' mission is to find and bring peace to those who are lost and in need. Joel also highlights the importance of rest and filling oneself spiritually before going out to serve others. We have a need for compassion and love when helping those in need and the power of teaching the word of God to heal spiritual needs. Jesus sets up care for his sheep and care for his shepherds. Have a wonderful and blessed week!
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sermon study questions for Connect Group discussion, and for personal reflection:
Read Mark 6:6-13. Why would the disciples have been emotionally excited and drained at the same time?

Read Mark 6:14-29. Why would Jesus have been emotionally drained?

What are two ways Jesus shows compassion for his sheep?

How do we navigate the line between self-sacrifice for others and getting rest? What does this look like in your life?

September 07, 2024Jesus Exceeds Expectations - Mark 4:35-41
Welcome! Join us this Sunday as Vicar Zachary Neumann focuses on ⁠Mark 4:35-41. Zachary reflects on the story of Jesus calming the storm. He explores the disciples' fear and lack of faith in the midst of the storm and draws parallels to the storms of life that we face. Storms can terrify and try to steal your peace. When the storms of life threaten, look to Jesus who exceeds expectations by going all in to give peace; because He is the missing piece, your Savior. Have a wonderful and blessed week!
⁠⁠⁠⁠Sermon study questions for Connect Group discussion, and for personal reflection:
Looking at the context and verse 38, what made Jesus go away from where the crowds were, to the other side of the Sea of Galilee? What does that tell us about Jesus and about ourselves?

Why such harsh words from the disciples in verse 38? Look at how they address him.

Compare the disciples' attitudes during the storm versus Jesus. Why is Jesus so disappointed?

Does Jesus always calm storms in this life? Look at Acts 27:27-28:5. Why would God allow storms in our lives for a time?

How do we lean on the Lord when storms come in this life?

September 07, 2024Familiar, Not For Granted - Mark 6:1-6
Welcome! Join us Sunday as Pastor Joel Hering focuses on⁠ Mark 6:1-6. Pastor talks about how familiarity can lead to a disregard for the value of something or someone, using the hometown of Jesus as an example. The sinful nature within humans desires to create its own kingdom and take credit for it, leading to a lack of appreciation for grace. Joel warns us Christians to beware of becoming too familiar with grace and to never take it for granted. We end with a reminder of the everlasting nature of Jesus' grace. Have a wonderful and blessed week!
⁠⁠⁠Sermon study questions for Connect Group discussion, and for personal reflection:
What in our sinful nature leads us to naturally take good things for granted?

What is the danger of taking Jesus for granted?

What keeps us from ever taking Jesus for granted?

What are some blessings in your life that you don't normally thank God for in your prayers?

July 13, 2024Finding God at Rock Bottom - Lamentations 3:19-33
Welcome! Join us this Sunday as Pastor Joel Hering focuses on Lamentations 3:19-33. There are times in life we find ourselves at rock bottom. There, we can still find comfort and hope in God. Pastor defines rock bottom as the place where people experience deep despair, vulnerability, and the loss of goodness in their lives. He emphasizes the importance of remembering who God is - loving, compassionate, and faithful - even in the darkest times. We are encouraged to consider what is good and be humbled by the blessings that God still provides. We are to hold on to Jesus, who suffered the greatest depths of rock bottom and knows and provides the way out. What a blessing to have a Savior who knows us, and sent His Son for us. Have a wonderful and blessed week!
⁠
Sermon study questions for Connect Group discussion, and for personal reflection:
What is the context surrounding the book of Lamentations? (2 Kings 21:1-16, 2 Kings 23:36-25:21, Jeremiah 39:1-10)

True or False: God punishes us for our sins?

What is the danger of hitting rock bottom? What is the value of rock bottom?

Read Lamentations 1:1; 2:1; and 5:19-22. Then read 3:19-21 and 3:31-33 which is the heart of the book. What comfort do we come away with from the book of Lamentations?
