Sermons

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Jesus, Do You Not Care?” This message

brings us back to the Gospel of Mark and looking at Jesus, the Son of God,

exercising power over nature, in particular, the wind and the sea.

Questions are asked in this little story, one of them being to Jesus, “Do

you not care?” When circumstances are difficult, that question comes up to

the surface. But Jesus will follow it up with a question to us - a question

that will cause us to inspect our heart and turn our focus to him.

Pastor Nate brings the message of the significance of the resurrection of

our Lord.

Pastor Andy brings the message, "Words from the Cross." When faced with the

final moments of life, what a person says becomes highly significant.

Hanging on the cross with his death imminent, Jesus spoke. These seven

statements will be the focus of our time together as we listen to and learn

from Jesus' words.

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” — Luke 23:34

“Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” — Luke 23:43

“Woman, behold, your son!...Behold, your mother!” — John 19:26-27

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” — Mark 15:34

“I thirst.” — John 19:28

“It is finished.” — John 19:30

“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!”— Luke 23:46

Pastor Andy brings the message, "Four More Kingdom Parables" from Mark

4:21-34. The 'Kingdom of God' parables he began with "The Parable of the

Sower," Mark now concludes with four parables in rapid fire succession. To

the "insiders" the parables point clearly to Jesus' identity and mission,

but to the "outsiders" they are just stories. Pray for each other and for

yourself that God may grant you a heart receptive to The Truth.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Parable of the Sower.” A parable is an

everyday story that conveys spiritual truths, and in Jesus’ teaching

ministry, He used parable often. In the parable of the sower (Mark 4:1-20)

Jesus relates the practice of sowing seeds (everyday story) to the

responsibility of intentionally hearing God’s Word (spiritual truth). Pray

for the sermon this coming Sunday, and ask God to give His church ears to

hear the Word.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Blasphemy Against the Spirit.” Some people

wonder if they have committed the “unpardonable sin.” Jesus says in Mark

3:29 that “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness

but is guilty of an eternal sin.” The stakes are obviously high. This

message goes through this unique passage of Scripture, encourages you to

heed the warning, and appreciate the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Who is Jesus?” This sermon covers Mark

3:7-15 in which the demons, Jesus’ family, and the religious leaders give

their understanding of who Jesus is. But in the end, It’s Jesus who asks a

question to all of us…a question that is explained in this sermon.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Sabbath, Savior, and Saints" from Mark 2.

This sermon wraps up a series of exchanges that Jesus has with antagonizing

religious leaders. The leaders believe Jesus should practice Sabbath rest

according to their law. But as is so often the case, Jesus has a different

approach. One that challenges the status quo.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Sinners Are Welcome" from Mark 2. The

invitation to the kingdom of God goes out, and the Pharisees are shocked at

who is on the invite list. Jesus, however, makes it clear His kingdom is

for sinners and anyone who would hear this call. It's "out with the old, in

with the new."

"Who Can Forgive Sins?" from Mark 2:1-12. Having just performed three sets of miracles in chapter 1 that have drawn crowds of people, Jesus carries out a fourth miracle that is climactic in nature. It stirs up controversy with the religious leaders but reinforces the truth that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.
