Fake News

Misael Gonzalez • 1 John 2:18-27 Everyone hates Fake News. Since the day Jesus ascended into heaven, many have tried to develop Fake News of his return. John warns against such people and situations that would make you believe something that is not in the Bible. So what do we do? Remain. Remain in Christ.

It's Time

Misael Gonzalez • John 3:1-7 When someone looks at your phone or other device and tells you “it’s time to update”. What they really mean to say is “Throw that old thing away and get a new one”. If you have been living a life without Jesus, it’s time to update. Throw away the old life and embrace the new one Jesus has for you.

[extra]Ordinary Sight

Chris Wall • Mark 8:22-26 God looks at the heart and considers the meditations of the heart. How is your heart? Are you keeping your eyes open to the work of God? Are your ears attentive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. This miracle at Bethsaida blessed this blind man completely healing him of his blindness. At the same time, Jesus healed this blind man, he simultaneously healed the spiritual blindness in the eyes of his followers then and now.

Unstoppable

Misael Gonzalez • Acts 28:28-30 One of the biggest acts of God is the powerful message of salvation coming to the world through our every day lives. The power evident in Acts continues today through our very lives.

[Extra]Ordinary Story

Chad Balthrop • Acts 22:1-21 Stories are powerful. They inspire, instruct, and inform. The right story at the right time moves people to act. We seek out stories and love to share them with others. There is no story more powerful than the story of God’s love for His people. As a follower of Christ, you are part of His story. It’s your story. Tell it well.

Conflicted

Chad Balthrop • Acts 15:36-41 Let’s be honest. Church life would be easy if it weren’t for all these messed up people! It’s a strange confession. We’re quick to say how much we admire Jesus and just as quick to tell stories about how we’ve been hurt by people in the church. For some, it’s an excuse to abandon one another. For others, it’s a reason to deconstruct their faith. The Bible says, “They’ll know you are Christians by your love.” As imperfect people, conflict will surely come. We can manage that tension in a way that honors God and strengthens relationships.

Commitment Acts

Misael Gonzalez • Acts 7:54-8:1 There is a “C” word that our culture hates right now. We hate the feeling of going into a “DTR” talk. That “C” word is COMMITMENT. Did you know that God has committed to humanity; he has committed himself to you. It’s time to Commit yourself to him!

Remember Who You Are!

Misael Gonzalez • Exodus 4:24-25 If we are to live in radical obedience in the everyday, we must be willing to die to ourselves and live worthy of and remembering the sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf. This odd paragraph foreshadows that sacrifice and reminds us that if we are children of God, we must act like it.

Tempted

Chad Balthrop • Luke 17:1-4 ESV Joseph was a dreamer. His dreams reflected the promises of God. Yet his dreams were derailed over and over again. Every setback reveals Joseph’s greatest quality of character. Joseph was faithful. He was faithful to God. Faithful to those he served. He was even faithful to the people who hurt him the most. How Joseph handled temptation shows us how we can be faithful too.

Where is my Faith?

Misael Gonzalez • Genesis 24: 7-9, 12-16, 26-27 (NIV) If we are to live in radical obedience in the everyday, we must have FAITH in our great God. As you read the story of how God led Abraham's servant to find a wife for Isaac, Abraham's son, you begin to admire the faith of everyone involved. It almost makes you question, “where is my faith?” as I try to live my everyday life with the Lord.

Radical Obedience

Chris Wall • Matthew 7-24-29 The ending of the Sermon on the Mount issues a call to hear the Word and put it into practice. When God’s word is discovered, understood, and practiced, stability and endurance is the result. This passage will be both a great launching point and ending point for 2023.

Christmas Day

Chris Wall I am on the journey when I actively worship with this local body, when I connect the spiritual truths of God’s word to my daily life, when I am involved in genuine Biblical community and when I am engaged with others as an ambassador for Christ.

King

Misael Gonzalez • Hebrews 1:5-14 As King, Jesus rules in such a way as not to allow sin to reign over us any longer. In the Old Testament, the monarchy was established for the peace, prosperity, and welfare of the nation. The prototype king was David. No king was ever as beloved as he was. He was God's ruling representative among the people. With David on the throne, the nation of Israel could say, "All is well." Few things comfort a nation more than having a ruler of righteousness and strength sitting on the throne of power. It was said of David that he "reigned over all Israel. And David administered justice and equity to all his people" (2 Sam. 8:15). However, we have a King greater than David. Christ came in the line of David as David's son and yet also as David's Lord (Matt. 22:42–45). He is "the ruler of kings on earth" (Rev. 1:5) and "King of kings and Lord of lords" (19:16), including David. He rules with perfect justice and equity. As our King, He has fought our battles and now rules in such a way that sin never can reign over us (Rom. 6:7–14).

Priest

Misael Gonzalez • Hebrews 9:11-15 NIV Human nature is to sacrifice someone else for your own selfish gain. What God has done is completely opposite of that. God the Father sent God the Son to make a sacrifice for all humanity as THE High Priest. However, that sacrifice was his on body and blood. We have the God who sacrificed himself for all people.

Prophet

Misael Gonzalez • Hebrews 1:1-4 As Prophet, Jesus pronounced an end to all our sin. All through history, the prophet stood as the mouthpiece for God clearly and boldly proclaiming His word to humanity. The prophet brought both messages of indictment for sin calling people to repentance and opportunities for repentance revealing the path to restoration. Jesus, as the final and sufficient Prophet entered human history bringing both warnings of judgment and the path to forgiveness. All the prophets point to Jesus as the Prophet, Priest, and King for all the world. Are you willing to submit to the prophetic voice of God?

Why do we do this?

Misael Gonzalez • 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 There are things in our families that happen, and we do not know why? Whether it’s an unspoken or spoken tradition, or just something that your family has done for many years that other families do not. After a holiday, we sometimes come out of those family gathers asking the question, why does my family do “this” or “that”. The same question can be asked about a family of faith and why we baptize and do the Lord’s supper.

When Will Jesus Return?

Misael Gonzalez • Matthew 24:1-8 NIV Whenever we wonder about our future, most of the time we are thinking about our immediate future. As in, tomorrow, a month from now, or a year from now. But when is the last time you thought about your eternal future? What does the triumphant return of Jesus mean to you?

I Approve This Message

Rob Rizzo • 1 Timothy 2:1-4 God alone is Lord of the conscience, and He has left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are contrary to His Word or not contained in it. Church and state should be separate. The state owes to every church protection and full freedom in the pursuit of its spiritual ends. In providing for such freedom no ecclesiastical group or denomination should be favored by the state more than others. Civil government being ordained of God, it is the duty of Christians to render loyal obedience thereto in all things not contrary to the revealed will of God. The church should not resort to the civil power to carry on its work. The gospel of Christ contemplates spiritual means alone for the pursuit of its ends. The state has no right to impose penalties for religious opinions of any kind. The state has no right to impose taxes for the support of any form of religion. A free church in a free state is the Christian ideal, and this implies the right of free and unhindered access to God on the part of all men, and the right to form and propagate opinions in the sphere of religion without interference by the civil power.

A Church that God Blesses

Chad Balthrop • Jude 1:1-4 NKJV A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. Each congregation operates under the Lordship of Christ through democratic processes. In such a congregation each member is responsible and accountable to Christ as Lord. Its scriptural officers are pastors and deacons. While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture. The New Testament speaks also of the church as the Body of Christ which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

The Skeleton in the Family Closet

Misael Gonzalez • Genesis 38:1-6 NIV All Christians are under obligation to seek to make the will of Christ supreme in our own lives and in human society. means and methods used for the improvement of society and the establishment of righteousness among men can be truly and permanently helpful only when they are rooted in the regeneration of the individual by the saving grace of God in Jesus Christ. In the spirit of Christ, Christians should oppose racism, every form of greed, selfishness, and vice, and all forms of sexual immorality including adultery, homosexuality, and pornography. We should work to provide for the orphaned, the needy, the abused, the aged, and contend for the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death.

The Christian and Social Order

Misael Gonzalez • Matthew 5:14-16 All Christians are under obligation to seek to make the will of Christ supreme in our own lives and in human society. Means and methods used for the improvement of society and the establishment of righteousness among men can be truly and permanently helpful only when they are rooted in the regeneration of the individual by the saving grace of God in Jesus Christ. In the spirit of Christ, Christians should oppose racism, every form of greed, selfishness, and vice, and all forms of sexual immorality, including adultery, homosexuality, and pornography. We should work to provide for the orphaned, the needy, the abused, the aged, the helpless, and the sick. We should speak on behalf of the unborn and contend for the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death. Every Christian should seek to bring industry, government, and society as a whole under the sway of the principles of righteousness, truth, and brotherly love. In order to promote these ends Christians should be ready to work with all men of good will in any good cause, always being careful to act in the spirit of love without compromising their loyalty to Christ and His truth."

Compassion Sunday

Misael Gonzalez It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations. The new birth of a man’s spirit by God’s Holy Spirit means the birth of love for others. Missionary effort on the part of all rests thus upon a spiritual necessity of the regenerate life, and is expressly and repeatedly commanded in the teachings of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ has commanded the preaching of the gospel to all nations. It is the duty of every child of God to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.

Why Should I Give to my Church?

Chris Wall • 1 Corinthians 16:1-4 NIV Stewardship. God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him. Christians have a spiritual debtorship to the whole world, a holy trusteeship in the gospel, and a binding stewardship in their possessions. They are therefore under obligation to serve Him with their time, talents, and material possessions; and should recognize all these as entrusted to them to use for the glory of God and for helping others. According to the Scriptures, Christians should contribute of their means cheerfully, regularly, systematically, proportionately, and liberally for the advancement of the Redeemer’s cause on earth.

Why do I need to be Saved?

Misael Gonzalez • John 3:16-17 NIV Are we in danger? When a Christian tells us that we need to be saved, we ask “saved from what?”. In this message we will be answering that very question because it is the most important question to answer what we need saving from and why.
