The sacraments were given to us in order to strengthen us in our weakness and frailty. Unfortunately, for many of us, after the initial excitement wears off we have a tendency to forget about our baptism. But God’s design is to strengthen us by it. In this message, Pastor Rick Anderson shows how your baptism can be a source of strength in overcoming temptation and hard times.

Do you get excited when you think of Baptism? Does it produce joy in your soul? How we understand baptism will greatly influence our answer to these questions. In this message, Pastor Rick Anderson surveys the Word of God to show that the Lord has greatly blessed us with the ordinance of baptism. It is an instrument designed by the Lord to strengthen us in our weakness and frailty by making the otherwise invisible spiritual covenantal blessings visible.

In Genesis 16 to 17 we find Abraham weak and frail in the faith--looking and trusting in his own efforts to fulfill God’s promises. And it is in the midst of this low point that the Lord comes to Abraham to strengthen him by introducing and instituting the sacrament of circumcision. Drawing from this story, Pastor Rick Anderson shows the sacraments to be designed and instituted by God to strengthen us. Listen in to see how these lessons can strengthen us today.

n Genesis 17 the Lord calls Abraham to undergo the sacrament of circumcision and in the process we are taught some very important lessons. In this message, Pastor Rick Anderson takes us through the meaning of the sign and seal.

Abram is rightly heralded as a man of great faith--the father of the faithful. We can sometimes get the impression that Abram never went through periods of lows. But our study of Genesis has informed us that Abram went though much difficulty and struggle in terms of his faith. In this message, Pastor Rick Anderson shares with us the Lord’s method of reviving us when we come to these difficult places.

Every year the church celebrates Christmas—the Lord stepping into time, space, and history by way of the virgin birth. And every year the church celebrates Easter—the resurrection of Christ. But what about the Ascension? After Jesus rose from the dead where did He go? Where is He currently? Why did He have to leave? Wouldn’t it have been better had He stayed?

The answer to these questions profoundly speaks to strengthening our faith, overcoming temptation, nurturing hope, fostering worship, and producing awe as we behold what God has done for us in Christ.
