In the message "Simple Obedience", Pastor Jerry looks at how we as Christians have a hard time following the the simple commands that Jesus has told us to do. It could be stubbornness, rebelliousness, weakness in faith, insufficient Biblical training or that we feel what He has for us to do is too hard. None of these are good reasons to not follow God's commands or directions. These things will lead us to being disobedient and to Jesus that is an act of disloyalty. Instead we need to follow His direction and give Him all of our attention. Once we do that our lives are back on track for God and become the person He would have us to be!

In the message "The World Needs Mom", Pastor Jerry looks at how a mother's love perhaps more closely resembles God's love than any other form of love any of us have experienced in the natural. God loves us even when we don't love Him. The same can be said for a mother towards her children. A mother is constantly trying to do what's best for them and to steer them in the right direction. God does this also. With all of the bad things going on in this world, what we need is more Godly mothers. What we need is the love of God!

In the message "Blessed Is He Who Is Not Offended In Me", Pastor Jerry looks at the reasons why many are offended by God or mad at Him. This is true for Christians and also unbelievers. Whatever our circumstance, there isn't any reason to be mad at God. During our most difficult times, we should run towards Him and not away. Jesus loves you very much and wants to be there for you.

Have you ever had a broken heart or are you in a state of brokenness right now? There are many reasons for being broken. It could be loneliness, depression, hurt feelings or the sense you just don't belong. Those things are real and do happen to all of us at some point and time. The enemy wants to keep you there and keep you down. He knows just how to do it too. BUT you don't have to stay there. God loves you so much and wants to see you healed. His desire is that we be made whole through Him. All of the brokenness isn't ours to carry. We aren't capable of doing it but there is One that is. His name is Jesus Christ. He went to the cross for all of our sins and all of the burdens we try to carry. He will carry those burdens for us. We just need to totally release everything to Him. Once you do that, your heart will no longer broken!

In the message "The Iron Furnace", Pastor Jerry looks at how we sometimes find ourselves in a great trial (Iron Furnace) of our faith. God uses these great trials to help us mature in Him, to reveal Himself to us and to ultimately increase our trust in Him.These trials usually cause us to fear but we can overcome fear with our faith in Jesus Christ. If you are going through a trial right now, hold on! You will overcome!

A friend of mine had a dream last night about this song and asked how he might hear it. I decided to upload it here. Before I was a pastor, I was a singer/songwriter, traveling with the group Mission. This song, "One Touch" had some chart success and actually was considered a 'hit' in the US and Indonesia. That was about 1994-1995. I pray that it still blesses you as you listen.

In the message "Forevermore: The Claims of Jesus", Pastor Jerry looks at Revelation 1:18 where it says "I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen (so-be-it). And I have the keys of Hades and of Death" (NKJV). This scripture not only speaks of His victory but of my potential victory! The claims of Jesus were proven in His resurrection. They are continually proven in His eternal priesthood, His eternal life! So, please join me in discussing these claims and how wonderful they are for you and me!

In the message "CHURCH: What's In It For Me?", Pastor Jerry looks at how being a part of the church is Biblical and an essential part of our Christian walk. We as Christians need the fellowship of like minded people so we can draw strength and encouragement from each other. The church is a place for Biblical learning and where we can find God's ministry that He has for us. The church isn't the building we meet in. It is the body of Christ that Christians make up. Each and everyone of us have a part in this body. The teaching you hear when we are together is indispensable. The accountability we offer to one another is essential. Our togetherness, unity, and fellowship is extremely important. So, won't you join me in being a part of this wonderful body of Jesus Christ! Listen now as Pastor asks, "Church: What's in it for me?"

In the message "Oh How I Love Onions", Pastor Jerry discusses how we as Christians often fall back into some sort of bondage. It can be the things of this world. It can be legalism, addictions, complacency, or things of the past. Most would think that this bondage only applies to non-Christians but that's not the case. The good news is that we don't have to stay there though. We are called to be FREE! So, won't you please join us, for this message on how we can live in freedom. Our freedom was bought and paid for by The Blood of Jesus Christ! AMEN!

"The Deception of Religion and Self Righteousness" is the third message in the series "Deceptions In The Church". (John 8:31-48) In this message, Pastor Jerry looks at how religion and self righteousness is not the true way to serve God. Those who trust in religion, can't really walk by faith. Those who walk by faith, don't need to lean on religion. Our faith needs to be in Jesus Christ. Religion, is our attempt to reach God. That isn't enough. We must instead, accept God's attempt to reach us through His son, Jesus Christ.
