"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:6 (KJV).  This one verse sums up man's departure from the way God would have us go; the deliberateness of the action on our part; and finally, His provision for deliverance in spite of our sinful nature because of the sacrifice paid by Jesus Christ.  Listen as guest speaker Rev. Lindsay Poteat examines this passage, revealing the Truth found in Jesus Christ.

Giving? Charitable contribution? Tithes and offerings?  First fruits? How do you view what you put in the plate on Sunday?  What do these terms mean? How are they the same? Different?  Listen as Pastor Tommy Larson shows how giving is an act of worship.  Learn what the Bible says about what and when and how we should bring our gifts to the Lord. And discover what God promises to those who are faithful in their offerings to Him.

Did you ever consider why Jesus, the Son of God, had to actually die an earthly, physical death?  Listen as Pastor Larson examines the parallel of Old Testament sacrifices and the death of Christ.  Then reflect on your own standing in the Kingdom of God.  Will Jesus stand before God on your behalf?  Is His death personal to you?  Does His sacrifice impact your life and its decisions? Join us as we recall what He did as we gather to partake in the Lord's Supper.

Too often we feel less than enthusiastic about our life, the excitement of being in Christ is gone.  We long to regain the passion we once held, but doubts and disappointment have led us to question our belief.  What must we do to regain the passion we felt when we first believed, when we accepted Christ as our Savior?  Listen as Pastor Larson examines the truth of our passion by prompting us to remember what Jesus did for us and how we can once again experience the passion we have for Him as we remember what He has done and continues to do everyday.

Where does your passion lie? With Family? Work? Entertainment? Sports? Hobby? Social Media? If you were to track the time you spend on the various activities throughout your day, what would it say about you? Where should your passion be? What should you be paying more attention to? Listen to Pastor Tommy Larson's challenge as he directs our attention on what should be the most important focus in our lives.

Nothing will keep anyone from standing before God to be judged.    And no one is exempt.  The Old Testament prophet Malachi warned the Isarelites that they would surely stand before God and answer for their sin. That prophecy applies to the world today.   Listen as Pastor Tommy Larson explains while love, justice and judgment are not mutually exclusive, you can face the coming judgment with confidence because of the sacrifice Jesus made on your behalf.  

Christians are called to be faithful - to our family of faith, our Heavenly Father, and our spouse.  Listen as Pastor Tommy Larson explains what God says about this call to faithfulness - by receiving Jesus Christ as Savior; living in victory and serving the Lord; recommitting to honor the marriage covenant; and serving our church family faithfully.

Jesus's teaching on judging others is not always understood.  Listen as Pastor Tommy Larson examines the passage from Matthew and helps us see that Jesus taught that we are not to relate to others judgmentally or hypocritically; rather, we are to relate to others as to a brother or sister.

Join the members of JMBC as they reflect on what God has done in the life of our church; listen as a family dedicates their child and themselves to the service of the Lord.  Rejoice as a member recalls his coming to know Christ as Savior; share in the fellowship of the JMBC family; hear how God blessed us richly in the recent past and the commitment the body has made to use that blessing to share the gospel with others.  And finally, be challenged on how you can use your God-given gift in service to His church, the community and the world.

What does it mean to be faithful? To your "family of faith"? To your Heavenly Father? To your spouse? Listen as Pastor Tommy Larson gleans truthful answers to these questions from the Old Testament passage in Malachi and how that truth applies to our walk of faith today.
