Protect His House
The Book of Nehemiah
Nehemiah 4
Sunday Live - 10/11/26
Pastor Brad Bell

PROTECT THIS HOUSE!

We are familiar with that slogan from a sporting apparel company… And even more familiar with it as a unspoken stance in our heart that we all are born with!… And that is to protect what is most important to us!

Is your faith and you’re calling important to you?

Is your kids future and the spiritual environment they grow up in important to you? Is the preservation of the truth of God’s word important to you?
To what extent would you go to defend it?

This message in Nehemiah will move us to take a spiritual stand in the culture in which we live, even in the face of continuous resistance!

You will defend that which is most important to you!… And if the ministry of the Lord through His church and the truth of His word is important to you… Then you will PROTECT HIS HOUSE!

All Hands on Deck
The Book of Nehemiah
Nehemiah 3
Sunday Live - 10/04/26
Pastor Brad Bell

ALL HANDS ON DECK!!!!

A common saying that is expressed when the challenge of a mission requires everyone to pitch in and get the job done!

The God size mission that the Lord calls us to, just like in the case of Nehemiah, will require a collective effort of everyone being filled with that God sized burden and fire in their belly to complete the mission, so that all are moved to complete their assigned tasks to make the vision become reality!

Jesus has given us the main mission!… It’s the GREAT COMMISSION!!!… and within this main task that all Christians are called to, he gives us all individual assignments and missions to be a part of to make an impact in the area in which we live!

What God sized mission has the Lord called you to be a part of!… How are you fulfilling your individual calling from the Lord to complete the task and assignment he has given you?

Now is the time to be ALL IN for Jesus!… and the call is for ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Courage in the Face of Resistance
The Book of Nehemiah
Nehemiah 2:9-20
Sunday Live - 09/27/26
Pastor Brad Bell

COURAGE in the face of RESISTANCE...

Most can keep going if they face a little discouragement, or occasional resistance…

But what do most people do when they face continuous resistance in accomplishing a mission?... statistics show that 80 to 95% of people quit!

When we set out on a spiritual mission to complete the calling, ministry, and life that the Lord has called us to… We are guaranteed to meet continual resistance!.. the question is what will we do when that resistance comes? How do we handle it…how do we remain strong in the face of resistance and not quit on the mission the Lord has placed in front of us?

That’s the message in Nehemiah! This message will strengthen you, motivate you and move you to action to complete the calling and destiny The Lord has for you and your life! Don’t miss it!

Courage in the Face of Fear
The Book of Nehemiah
Nehemiah 2:1-10
Sunday Live - 09/20/26
Pastor Brad Bell

COURAGE IN THE FACE OF FEAR!!!

What is courage? Many people falsely assume that to act with courage means you have no fear… the opposite is actually true!

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather still choosing to act and move forward in the face of fear!

So fear can either be a hurdle you jump over… Or it can be a hindrance that stops you!

What does the Bible have to say about fear and anxiety that wants to paralyze us and keep us from doing what God has called us to do?

What examples of courage do we see here in Nehemiah and in other places in scripture that serve as direct examples to us here in the 21st century culture in which we live?

What does fear most often do in your life?… and how can you overcome it so that you can step out into God’s calling in your life and act with COURAGE IN THE FACE OF FEAR!

The Spirit of the Lord is going to move everybody in the room through His word in this message! Don’t miss it!

Unfinished Business
The Book of Nehemiah
Nehemiah 1:1-11
Sunday Live - 09/13/26
Pastor Brad Bell

NEW SERMON SERIES STARTS!!!!
***UNFINISHED BUSINESS***

We take an expositional journey through the Book of Nehemiah and we’ll see this book is about so much more than just rebuilding some walls!… It’s about rebuilding faith, hope and purpose!

We will address topics and themes on leadership, calling, teamwork and unity working toward a vision and mission, perseverance in the face of resistance… And many more!

What if your faith was so strong, you’re hope in Christ so secure, and your life‘s purpose and calling so clear, that it led you to step out of your comfort zone and complete the mission the Lord has given you, even in the face of resistance and persecution, no matter the cost!…that’s the Book of Nehemiah!

Is there some "UNFINISHED BUSINESS" the Lord wants to take care of in your life?… Let him rebuild the faith, hope, and purpose in your life you were meant to live out!

Salt Life
Matthew 5:13-16
Sunday Live - 09/06/26
Pastor Brad Bell

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LIVE THE “SALT LIFE”?

In the sermon on the mount, in Matthew 5, Jesus, gave the metaphor of comparing authentic Christ followers to salt and light.

Why would he do that? What is the significance in this passage and what does it mean for us today?

This is imperative that we not only understand this, but live it out! Because Jesus said if the salt loses its saltines… It’s good for nothing!… what is he referring to?

How can the salt of “the church“ lose it saltiness? What happens to society when the church loses it saltiness? How can we as authentic Christ followers use what we have learned in Romans 8 and respond to the challenge of Jesus now, in the culture in which we exist today, to “Live Salty”?

Come worship with us at Impact as we biblically see what it means to live the SALT LIFE!

I Want To Be Like Christ!
Romans 8:1-11
Sunday Live - 08/30/26
Pastor Brad Bell

I WANT TO BE LIKE…CHRIST!

Years ago, Gatorade had a commercial with Michael Jordan and a bunch of kids with the theme “I want to be like Mike!“…the commercial showed images of Michael Jordan in action, and then all the kids on the basketball courts and playgrounds trying to imitate his style!

Romans 8 tells us that if we are authentically saved, we are being formed into the image of Christ!… the Bible tells us that we are to be imitators of Christ!…. What does this mean? What does this look like in the Christian life? 

What is sanctification?… It’s a word that’s thrown around briefly in some churches, but never adequately and fully explained. Tomorrow we take an in-depth dive into what sanctification looks like in the life of the believer, how the Holy Spirit changes us from the inside out… And in this process, our desires begin to change, and we want to be imitators of Christ in our life!
