Money is a sensitive topic for many, but Jesus talked about money all the time, because it affects our relationship with God. In “A Different Kind of Wealth,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen teaches us that money can blind us to spiritual truths, but God can transform us, leading us to love Him more deeply than anything else - including money.

How do you define success? In “A Different Kind of Success,” Pastor Ted Voltmer shares how Jesus redefines success for us. We can either be a Consumer, seeking personal gain from our relationship with Jesus; or a Follower, aligning our desires with His. Following Jesus comes at a cost: we are called to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. Despite the costs, true Followers gain much more in this world and in the future. Who will you decide to be, a consumer or a follower? March 3, 2024 | Ted Voltmer

In “Jesus the Provider,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen shares the story of the miraculous feeding of a large crowd with just a few loaves of bread and fish. We learn about how God uses what we offer Him, as well as our obedience, to provide for needs. Ultimately, this story points us to Jesus, the One who has solved our most impossible problem – sin - by dying on the cross. Knowing and believing this helps us face our “impossible situations” with confidence and hope. Dave Gustavsen | February 25, 2024

The Gospel of Mark teaches that the kingdom of heaven is near, but it also reminds us that there is another invisible kingdom in the world – a kingdom of darkness, ruled by Satan. In “Jesus, the Exorcist,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen shares three things about evil: it’s real; it involves strategy; and lastly, because of Jesus, evil is ultimately defeated.

In "Jesus the Storm-Tamer,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen walks us through one of the most well-known Bible stories in Mark 4. It's the story of Jesus calming the storm while in a boat with his disciples. This message takes a deeper look at how the disciples must have been feeling, the various reactions of those in the boat, and how we can apply all of this when we are faced with our own "storms.” Dave Gustavsen | February 4, 2024

In “Jesus the Teacher,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen reminds us that in the kingdom of God, there’s power to change. Teaching from the Parable of the Sower, he shares about four different types of hearts: a resistant hard heart, a shallow heart lacking depth, a divided heart distracted by worldly concerns, and a receptive heart that lets the Word bring forth a fruitful life. If you want to change, choose to be receptive: listen to God’s Word, accept it, and be amazed at what God will do. Dave Gustavsen | January 28, 2024

In “Jesus the Forgiver” Pastor Dave Gustavsen uses the story of four men who bought their paralyzed friend to Jesus for healing to teach about the wisdom and the authority of Jesus. The crowds, eager for a miracle, expected physical healing, but Jesus surprises them by first addressing the deeper issue – the forgiveness of sins. Likewise, we often think we know what we need, but Jesus drives us deeper, revealing our true spiritual needs. If we can learn to trust him as he drives us deeper, it will change the way we live.

In a world that says, “Follow your heart,” Jesus says, “Follow me.” In “Jesus the Messiah,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen teaches from the Gospel of Mark, introducing us to a unique leader: a king who never gets arrogant, and a servant who never gets weak. He answers the question we all ask: “Why should I follow Jesus?” by emphasizing three reasons: Jesus completes the puzzle, connects us with our Creator, and conquers our enemies. God has a way of getting our attention -- he might tear open our physical health, our financial stability, or a relationship we value - because he loves us and wants to show us who He is, so that we can decide to follow Him.
