Sermons

Pastor Nate brings the message from 2 Thessalonians 2, ""What if We Got it Wrong?"  That was the question that worried the Christians in Thessalonica.  Granted, there are a lot of ideas about how the Lord will return.  But, Paul's aim in this chapter is to shed truth on the fact that Jesus will return, and Christians can stand firm until that day comes.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Hopeful yet Heavy Justice of God” from 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12.  It irks us when we see injustice happening around us. Yet, when Jesus returns, God tells us that there will be a complete and final justice that He will hand down to all of humanity.   A justice that will be permanent…a justice that brings hope to each Christian.  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Enduring Evidence” from 2 Thessalonians 1:1-5.  Not long after he wrote 1 Thessalonians, Paul saw the need to quickly follow up with a second letter to the young Christians at Thessalonica.  The themes from the first and second letter are very similar but with further clarification.  This Sunday we will spend our time looking at the first five verses that point to the evidence of God's saving work in our lives.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The God Who Sanctifies, Keeps, and Calls” from 1 Thessalonians 5:23-28.  In this last section of 1 Thessalonians, Paul gives strong, absolute assurance that God will see His children all the way home!  Our eternal security rests in His faithfulness.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "God-Honoring Relationships” -Part 2 from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22.  Jesus is coming back someday, and it is our privileged task to be ready to meet Him when He returns.  In our second-to-last sermon in 1 Thessalonians, we will see how the Bible guides us into an honorable relationship with God that prepares us to meet Him. 

Our Men’s BUILD Conference speaker, Matt Emadi, brings the message, “The Meaning, Message, and Motive for Evangelism” from Romans 1:1-6.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "God-Honoring Relationships” from 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15.  Relationships can be hard.  Yet, they are rewarding when we follow God's word.  In our study this week we will look at God's plan for 2 unique relationships in the church: 1) the relationship between pastors and congregation; and, 2) the relationship between members and... members.

Sunday Morning...Pastor Nate brings the message, "Great Expectation" from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. Christians live with the expectation that God will complete both a final judgment for those who oppose Him and a final salvation for those who believe in Him.  This event will be the ultimate Day of the Lord.  In light of that day, live with both anticipation and encouragement that God will save His people through it.   

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Hope for Grieving Christians” from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.  A life-giving benefit in salvation is that Jesus will bring about a great reunion for all His people.  When He returns, all Christians (past and present) will be brought together.  Imagine what it will be like to be reunited with Christian friends and family members and always be with the Lord!  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Love and Labor” from 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12.  As Paul continues his letter to the Christians in Thessalonica, he teaches on the practical responsibilities of 1) love that is carried out in one another's lives, and; 2) labor that minds one's own business.  God then uses those distinct practices in our lives to impact those around us for His glory.
