Nelsonville Assembly

To conclude 2018, Pastor Isaiah talks about how many in this time of year are looking at changes in our lives or our circumstances in the New Year. But while humans change often, our God is Immutable, that is, He is Unchanging. From Psalm 102 and James 1, this glorious truth is set forth as a firm foundation for us to embrace as we rely upon our unchanging and always perfect God.

In this sermon, Pastor Isaiah discusses Worship in Joy, the result of right relationship with God. The people of God longed for hundreds of years throughout the Old Testament times for the Messiah to come. The promise was finally fulfilled on that incredible night with the proclamation of the angel bringing "Good News of Great Joy."

From Luke 2, we read the Christmas story and we consider how the birth of Christ truly does bring joy to those who believe in Him.

In the sermon, Pastor Isaiah discusses the element of worship we most commonly think about in the church: singing. Worship in Song has been a key part of God's people since the beginning. From the text of Scripture, Pastor Isaiah talks about God's intention that His people would worship with both old and new songs, a pattern that we seek to follow here at Nelsonville Assembly.

To open the service, Pastor Isaiah explains what Advent is and how this historical celebration of the Coming of Christ for 4 Weeks has stretched back far into church history.

In the sermon, Pastor Isaiah traces the incredible promise of God in Exodus 19 that He chooses for Himself a "treasured possession" of people who do not deserve and do not earn His love. His adoption of His people is into community, His people who stretch across time and geography but share in a common faith.

To open the service, Pastor Isaiah explains what Advent is and how this historical celebration of the Coming of Christ for 4 Weeks has stretched back far into church history.

In the sermon, Pastor Isaiah talks about how God has designed and even had commanded His people in Israel to mark out their lives by times of celebration and traditions. These tools are mere shadows, things which point us ultimately to Christ and can, if we are intentional, help drive us to worship God in all that we do.

In Week 1 of this series, Pastor Isaiah Jesch looks at the planting of the church in Philippi from Acts 16:9-34 and then turns to Philippians 1:1-8 to show the love that Paul demonstrates for his fellow believers in this letter.
