All believers are called to be in ministry in the body serving others. There are gifts that come from those around us and we bring our own gifts to the mix – we can’t achieve full maturity of faith, knowledge, and love without participation in the community of believers. Pastor Tuttle uses Ephesians 4 and other verses to develop the theme of what it means to be “Mature.” A message given by Pastor John Tuttle at Waters Edge Church.

God says in Micah 6 verse 8 that He desires us to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with Him. Pastor Tuttle uses many verses to develop this theme and how governments have been created to provide justice and security to their citizens. Injustice is part of a fallen world. Christ continues to be our only hope. Justice acknowledges wrong, seeks for forgiveness when wrong and refuses revenge, and remains open to reconciliation when wronged.

We make a willing choice to be a “Servant of God.” Jesus Christ is our Master. He is a good Master, One who has set us free from sin and death. We will remain forever with God. A message given by Pastor John Tuttle at Waters Edge Church. Visit us on the web at www.mqtchurch.com

“Third Party Participation” looks into the dynamics of gathering together – how Jesus said in Matthew 18:20 that He is there in the midst of us when 2 or 3 are gathered together. When we are separated there’s an awareness that something is missing, yet time by ourselves has caused us to face some issues that needed to be dealt with. As we come back together, we are reminded that Jesus paid for all - our health, our lives and we worship Him together and rejoice. A message given by Pastor John Tuttle at Waters Edge Church.

Israel cried out to God to hear them with fasting in Isaiah 58, but then they didn’t want to obey Him when He told them to stop their sinful ways – oppressing their workers, putting heavy yokes upon the poor, turning a deaf ear to the pleas of the hungry and oppressed. Their half measures didn’t impress God. He is willing to restore their ruins, to give them great prosperity and abundant crops if they will listen to Him and take care of those in need. He is willing to invest and restore us as we reach out to those in need around us. . A message given by Pastor John Tuttle from Waters Edge Church. Visit us on the web at www.mqtchurch.com

At times we can play the “Prodigal”, wanting to do something different. At times we can play the older son, doing all the right things for God but with a cold heart. God wants us to celebrate what heaven celebrates; in this story, to celebrate a humbled heart that returns to the Father. And as an elder brother, we should desire a relationship with God more than just working for His abundance. A message given by Pastor John Tuttle from Waters Edge Church.

More than the prophets Moses and Elijah, Jesus is greater, greater than Israel’s most revered leaders, and God’s voice on the Mount of Transfiguration validates that when He says, “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him.” Our contact with the Eternal Creator comes through Jesus Christ. Through Him, we are given opportunity to be transformed to be like Him.

Even the greatest of our Bible heroes faced times of change and uncertainty. Paul’s circumstances didn’t affect his mission and how he continued to preach the good news – even in jail. In the end, the jailor and his whole family received salvation! Paul continued to look for kingdom advancement, even in adversity – and Pastor Tuttle encourages us to do the same in this season of hardship and inconvenience.

I Corinthians 15 is a summary of the good news of Jesus life, death and resurrection. The resurrection is central to our belief in eternal life. Death is the shedding of a mortal body for an eternal body. Paul ends with, “But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” A message given by Pastor John Tuttle from Waters Edge Church.

We celebrate Palm Sunday as the day Jesus came riding into Jerusalem on a donkey while the crowds cheered and laid palm branches on the road for him. Pastor Tuttle weaves this narrative in with Psalm 118:24-27, which has a festal mood and also a sacrificial element. Malachi 4:5-6 describes what can be happening in our homes right now as parents and children are spending much more time together than usual. It is a time to allow God to build our family relationships in deeper ways. A message given by Pastor John Tuttle for Waters Edge Church. Visit us on the web at www.mqtchurch.com
