Sermons

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Life-Changing" Part 2 from 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10. In the opening chapter of 1 Thessalonians we are seeing the power of the Gospel in the lives of believers.  Salvation does bring about change.  And, as a church we want to be that change for the glory of God and for encouragement and witness to those around us.   

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Life-Defining" from 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5.  This message begins a new sermon series in 1 Thessalonians where the opening verses present defining marks of God's salvation in our lives.  When we come to believe the Gospel, God empowers us to live changed lives that please and glorify Him.

Tom Siefert brings the message, "The Triumph of God" from Colossians 2:13-15. In our world where it appears evil is in control, we need to keep our focus on God, remembering He is the triumphant ruler over all things.  Our hope rests on that truth! 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Have You Forgotten?” from Hosea 12-13.  Our memory can be like leaky buckets, and therefore we need regular reminders.  In the closing chapters of Hosea we see the prophet calling God's people to return back to the One whom they have forgotten.  Does your life demonstrate a pattern of forgetting God?  Or remembering Him in all things?

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Grace for Repentant Sinners” from Hosea 14.   In the closing chapter of Hosea, God makes it very clear that sinners (like you and me) are welcome to return to Him.  And, when we return, His grace is present to strengthen and build us up.  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Return” from Hosea 4-11.  The middle section of Hosea is filled with pictures of Israel wandering away from God in their sin.  Of course, the pictures point to us as well.  Even still, God endures in love by calling His people (calling you) back to Himself. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Redemption and Return” from Hosea 3.  James Montgomery Boice called Hosea 3 "the greatest chapter in the Bible because it portrays the greatest story in the Bible."  That story is about Christ's love for the church that comes at a great cost.  It was our redemption price that Jesus paid, and this is illustrated in Hosea's purchase of a woman who had wandered far from him.  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "God Will…” from Hosea 2.  The unfaithful spouse is the major scene in Hosea 1-3.  It's a sobering picture that God gives to us for the purpose of seeing our sin and unfaithfulness to Him.  And yet, as you follow the story, God declares that instead of writing off His bride, He will tenderly bring her back to Himself.  Praise the Lord for His forgiveness to us all!

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Scandal of Our Sin” from Hosea 1:1-2:1.  This message begins a new series in the book of Hosea.  Chapter 1 starts with a powerful scandal that God uses to help us see our sin against Him.  The story closes in 2:1 with the hope of mercy.  Hosea is a wonderful book that bleeds with the Gospel.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Sovereign Over All” from John 6:35-40. We all have unsaved family members and friends, and we long to see them come to Christ for salvation.  The command that we have from our Lord is to share the gospel with them.  The hope that we have is that when God gives them the gift of repentance, they will come.
