Pastor Tony Vis shows us how God knew from the beginning that Jesus would be God’s yes to our would, in our would, and for our world.

The Messiah: the Paralytic – The biggest miracle in this story isn’t that the man was physically healed, but that he was forgiven. Jesus has the authority to forgive. Don’t let sin paralyze you.

The Messiah: Salt & Light – Julie Weimann encourages people to be salt and light to our families, our church and our community.

The Messiah: Fear/Trust – Fear is often the biggest barrier from keeping us from a life of faith – trusting and following God. Where is God calling you to fear not?

The Messiah – Mistreated: When you are mistreated, remember you are not alone. Jesus will stand with you, if you let him.

The Messiah #8: Following – Follow me doesn’t sell well in a culture that values autonomy. We tend to prefer to think of ourselves as believers. Believing is not the same thing as following. Jesus clearly tells us to follow him.

The Messiah #7: The Centurion- It’s not about the amount of faith; it’s about the object of your faith.

The Messiah #6: Jesus is the standard – Pr Tony Vis teaches from this section of the Sermon on the Mount that Jesus set the standard for how we are to live in the world.

The Messiah #5: The Leper – Jesus uses this physical healing to teach a spiritual truth: we’re all unclean with sin. We cannot clean our self. We NEED God to do it for us.

The Messiah #3: Evidence – Pastor Mikes talks about three sources for evidence to explain why we believe what we do about God. The sources are Causation, Universal Moral Law, and Design.
