Worship & Service
Isaiah 6:1-8 Isaiah is given a glimpse into the majesty of God up in heaven, and the praise of angels to God because of His holiness. Viewing God as He truly is shouldn’t scare us but lead us into a deeper relationship. This depth is brought about by our confession of sin and God’s abundant grace of forgiveness. This growing relationship of grace should prompt our hearts into a greater desire...
God’s Presence
Psalm 139:1-12 We explore God’s Presence in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and God’s Presence among us today. God’s Presence is always with us. One way God manifests His Presence is in and through our worship of Him. View the full service on our YouTube channel. By Pastor Mary Sterenberg
Worship and Relationship
Luke 10:38-42 We know we should be more like Mary rather than Martha, and we want to be more like Mary. Of all the dishes to fix in life, the dish of worship is better than the rest. When we gather for worship, it is an expression and growth of the relationship of God and His people. In fact, it can be helpful to think of worship as a mutual pursuit of each other. Like Jesus entered into Mary...
Worship and Glory
Hebrews 10:8-9; Psalm 51:10 In our daily life, our purpose is to bring glory to God in all we do. When we do this, we become the people God intended us to be, and He blesses our lives. In the sphere of corporate worship, this too is aimed to bring glory to God. In the Old Testament, God kept saying that He was tired of sacrifices during Temple worship—for what He wants is a pure and sincere...
United
Ephesians 4:1-7 As Jesus has broken down walls that bring division, God’s Spirit unites Jesus’ followers, who are so very different from each other, together. View the full service on our YouTube channel. By Pastor Paul Sausser
Only Jesus
Hebrews 13:8 Things that don’t change we can view as boring—same-o, same-o. But Jesus is anything but boring. Digging deep into Jesus unearths great truths with life changing insights about His love. Following Him leads us to new and exciting ways to experience Him and His love. View the full service on our YouTube channel. By Pastor Paul Sausser
Don’t Give In
Hebrews 13:1-6 While the Christian’s calling includes not conforming to the world, we do live life touching the world. We are not to be in isolation from the influences of the world but live out what it means to bring God’s grace and love to the world. In this way we serve as priests to those who need to see our Jesus. View the full service on our YouTube channel. By Pastor Paul...
Fully with Us: Like the Weak
Hebrews 11:32-40 In Hebrews 11 we see people demonstrating incredible faith, we see God showing up in incredible ways, and we begin to think that there is a causal relationship between our faith and God’s actions. But what happens when one doesn’t have incredible faith? Or what happens when one does have faith and God doesn’t come through as we want Him to? Sometimes God uses our weak faith and...
Fully with Us: Like Moses
Hebrews 11:23-28 Moses’ faith, beginning as it did with his parents who by faith gained some inkling of the child’s destiny, (Moses’ faith) compelled him to forfeit the immediate for the future, the seen for the unseen, to choose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than enjoying the pleasures of sin for a moment. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value...
Fully with Us: Like Abraham and Sarah
Hebrews 11:8-13 Having spent decades growing stable faith in Abraham and Sarah, we see how stable faith works. In four instances, God calls this couple to move forward in faith based on the promises God gave to them. Because these promises will be experienced in part and not in their totality, their faith trusts God to ultimately fulfill all His promises, which He does in Jesus. View the full...
Steady Faith
Hebrews 11:1-7 Faith is setting our heart on the true and sure reality of who God is, what He has done, and what He promises. A steady faith follows these invisible realities of God, not the visible things we see with physical eyes. This chapter of Heroes of the Faith begins with defining how firm faith in God differs from walking by trust in the things of this world. View the full service on...
Unrestricted
Joel 2:28-29 Today is Pentecost, 50 days after we have celebrated the resurrection of Jesus. On Pentecost God poured out His Promised Holy Spirit on those who believed in Jesus, with no restriction. This pouring of the Spirit still continues today. View the full service on our YouTube channel. By Pastor Paul Sausser
