Pastor Rusty

Pastor Rusty begins a sermon series on the book of Peter by reviewing the life of Peter from the Gospels and all of his shortcomings including denying Jesus three times, cutting off the ear of Caiaphas, and to being called a son of the devil. Sometimes it's good to understand that God chose imperfect people to fulfill his will and that he will use you to fulfill his will when you are imperfect also.

Pastor Rusty brings a message from the entirety of the Book of Jonah, looking at how Jonah's attitude towards the people of Nineveh can sometimes parallel our feeling toward the people who we see as "lost." A great reminder that all humans are image bearers of God and they deserve to be treated with respect and dignity and we should share the Gospel with them, because that it what we are commanded to do.

Pastor Rusty delivers a sermon in the wake of a loss of one of the members of our community on who it's okay to weep with those who are weeping...and how sometimes your presence is all many people are asking for in times of sorrow.

Brother David Ford leaves us with his last sermon during Pastor Rusty's vacation with some encouraging words about Zacchaeus and how Jesus went looking for him in a really big crowd.

Bro. David Ford delivers a message on God's Promises but here are three helpful truths from the sermon:

*WARNING!* We have some audio issues in this podcast that resulted in high pitch squealing. We are aware of the issue and are looking for a fix so it doesn't happen again. We could try to remove the parts of the audio with the issue but then you lose some context of the message and it's important to keep those parts in for the meaning of the sermon.

Pastor Rusty talks about seven scriptures that talk about and bring joy. Here are the scriptures that are highlighted in the sermon.

In the final verses of 1st John we see a verse about praying for Christians in Sin.

Pastor Rusty delivers a message from the end of the book of 1st John about how if you the true savior, you can have confidence knowing that your prayers will be answered, as long as it's within his will.
