As we conclude Pastor Tim's 18 years of ministry, what should we, as a congregation, make our focus as we move forward? The clear answer is: The Gospel. To explore what the Gospel is and it's importance, Pastor Tim is doing a three-part mini-series on the Gospel, beginning with the what the Gospel message actually is.

Bennet Bedaiko teaches on Psalm 23.

There are far things harder to witness than watching someone we love self-destruct. Whether someone is addicted to drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc., it's difficult to watch those we love destroy their own lives. Yet what we often don't look at is how people spiritually wreck their lives. Today we look at the parable that culminates the Sermon on the Mount: the man who built his house on the rock and the man who built his house on the sand. What is Jesus trying to say in this parable? What is the 'rock'? Are there areas in your life where you are foolishly building your house on sand? Sooner or later, storms will come; Will you be ready for them?

Today we look at the prayer of Jonah after he is thrown into the sea and swallowed by a fish. Why does he pray the way he does? What does that say about Jonah? What does that say about God? In this prayer we see that this isn't just about Jonah, but it's also a proclamation of the gospel.

Bennet Bedaiko teaches on Psalm 1.

How to Read and Understand the Bible Part 4

How does someone diagnose the health of their soul-- Jesus gives us three principles which allow us to evaluate whether we are growing closer to the world or closer to Christ. What we watch, think about, spend money on, spend time doing, can give us a good indication of what we worship. While we may think that many of these things are harmless and have no impact on our lives, Jesus says otherwise. What are we to do - discard these things-- Maybe- But first we need to seriously evaluate our hearts. Do we love the Lord more than all-- Would we be willing to let go of the things in this world--
