Series: Amazing Jesus

Message: Build Well

Scripture: Matthew 7:24-29

Pastor Joel Zuidema

John closes his gospel in awe of his Friend and Master writing, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” Jesus was amazing. He was the only perfect human (and fully God as well) who ever lived. Everything was done perfectly all the time. Today we watch Jesus turn a building illustration into a teaching on spiritual foundations. His teaching was amazing. While salvation through the cross was the crux of His work, His rabbinical teaching method was intended to convey the deep truths of the kingdom in ways that packed a punch.

Message: Restoring A Fallen Friend

Scripture: John 21:15-19, 25

Pastor Joel Zuidema

John closes his gospel in awe of his Friend and Master writing, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” Jesus was amazing. He was the only perfect human (and fully God as well) who ever lived. Everything was done perfectly all the time. Last week we studied Him as Healer, one who extends perfect healing to individuals and churches. He gave the leper so much more than the leper even asked for, touching him first to restore his self-worth, then healing him by the Word. The leper meekly said, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus “is willing,” and remains so now in our lives too. Today we watch Him restore his gung-ho friend who failed Jesus miserably. But Jesus picks him up and sends him forth to found the Church at Pentecost and lead thousands to saving faith in Christ. He restores His people and His church. May He restore us as well!

Message: The Healer

Scripture: Mark 1:40-45

Pastor Joel Zuidema

Message: Words

Sermon Outline

1. Recognizing the Need / Knowing the Other Person’s Feelings

2. The Power of Words to Destroy

3. The Power of Words to Build Up

Pastor Joel Zuidema

Scripture: Ephesians 4:29-5:2

What a gift to be able to communicate by speech! Words are a gift. So important are words that when Jesus is revealed from heaven, we are told “the WORD became flesh and dwelt amongst us.” The ear didn’t become flesh. Smell didn’t become flesh. Hearing didn’t become flesh. No, it was the WORD. God represents himself to us in Christ by the WORD becoming flesh. So, speech is sacred. The Word is precious, holy, and represents God. Moving from the big WORD to the little word, we see that word continues to hold great power. It has the power to build up and to tear down. Today we consider the command to use words to build each other up according to each other’s needs.

Message: The Power to Fight

Scripture: I Corinthians 10:1-13

Guest Pastor Lance Davids

Message: Free to Serve

Scripture: Galatians 5:13-15

Pastor Joel Zuidema

Christians are neither legalists nor able to ignore the rules found in the Bible. We are saved by grace but called to serve in the ways outlined in Biblical commandments. That service to God as outlined in the Bible springs from hearts filled with joy in being saved from our sins. We are free to serve within the boundaries of the commandments. In today’s message we explore what it means to be under grace, not law, but still called to serve according to the commandments.

Message: Holy Adelynn

Scripture: I Corinthians 7:12-17

Pastor Joel Zuidema

Children of believers have a unique place in the heart of God, so much so that He calls them “holy.” What does that mean? Why does that matter? We explore the wonder that God not only loves believers in Jesus Christ in a redemptive way, but their children as well.
