Pastor Josh Linton, Sunday December 3, 2023

Have you ever tried to do something at the wrong time?

There is a right time, wrong time, and God's time. Nothing stops the timing and planning of God. Our place in His plan is determined by our free will. His plan isn't lacking and is never accidental. It's always perfect.

Have you ever stopped to consider Mary and Joseph never would have gone back to Bethlehem without a census. God's plan stretches further than our mind comprehends.

We get to choose whether we participate or not. Join us as we discover truth about what it means to prepare the way for Christmas. In this message we examine how our understanding of Christmas is dependent our ability to truly grasp repentance.

Key Topics Discussed:

The book of Nehemiah teaches us how to move from a place of spiritual defenselessness to being defended. In this message we wrap up our series by looking to what God has to say about our need to have a mind to work. We examine the message of Nehemiah and what it means for us to build with both hands. God calls us to both build and guard.

Often when we think unity, our mind jumps to party affiliation, or I'm united with him, or her. In today's message we look at unity from a different perspective. We look at prior to being united with another person or group of individuals to where it truly begins. Before we can ever experience unity with another person we must first be in unity with God.

Matthew 22:37 says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love him with all your soul, and love him with all your mind."

Bro Seio Chihara, Sunday October 1, 2023

What if what we think is freedom, really isn't?

What does true freedom look like? Acts chapter 24 presents us with two individuals. One appears free, the other appears bound. One of them is truly free, the other has bought into an illusion of freedom.

The scripture tells us in John 8:36, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

How does the Son make us free?

Join us in this message as we discover truth about what freedom really looks like, and what it means for the Son to make us free.

The Book of Nehemiah tells us about the rebuilding and restoration of the city of Jerusalem. It also serves as a parallel to our spiritual restoration.

In this message we continue our journey and focus in on the opposition Nehemiah faced. The opposition he faced with Sanballat is the same opposition Christians face as we move to allow God to be the Builder, and Restorer of our lives.

The work accomplished through Nehemiah's leadership was miraculous, but how did he do it? When opposition came, how did Nehemiah respond?

Join us as we discover the truth behind Nehemiah's success.
