(10-13-19) The Good Shepherd, pt1 - Pastor Ryan Diffenderfer

John 10:10

Jesus is the Good Shepherd. As part of God's flock, we are called into relationship with the Shepherd. Often as sheep, we wander off the path, fall prey to another's voice, and tend to be self sufficient. Jesus calls us to Himself and promises to lead us to rest and provision. He has come to bring abundant life.

 

(9-29-19) The One Sided Contract - Will Donato

Genesis 15

We learned about a covenant made with Abraham. We were reminded that, when we are friends of God, that makes us an enemy of Satan, so we must be wary of attacks. Abraham experienced doubts in his journey with God, and we will too. But we are called to stay engaged and keep our faith in the One who is always faithful to us.

(09-22-19)- An Active Faith- Pastor Will Donato

Acts 11:19-30-- We are called to be active in our faith. We have a call to serve the hurt and needy around us. 

(09-15-19)- A Complete Faith- Will Donato

We are reminded in Acts Chapter 10 that the gospel reaches all. Our salvation is not our good works, service, or giving, but professing Jesus as Lord. We must preach the gospel, so that others can have a complete faith. 

(09/08/19)- Delighting in the Word - Pastor Ryan Diffenderfer

Psalm 119 is a reminder that God's laws, statutes, decrees, and commands are good. We as believers are to delight in God's Word, study the Word, and live the Word. 

(9-1-19) Repentance Leads to Life - Pastor Ryan Diffenderfer

Psalm 51

When David was confronted with his sin, he turned to the mercy of God. If we own our sin, and bring it to the Lord, we are met with His grace and compassion. He creates in us a new spirit. David turned from his sin, and models repentance for us.

(8-25-19) How Long? - Pastor Ryan Diffenderfer

Psalm 13

At some time, we've all asked "How Long?", where we are seeking God and wondering when we are going to see an end to our struggles. In Psalm 13, we are encouraged in the midst of our questioning, to bring our burdens before a compassionate and faithful God.

(8-18-19) Effective Prayer - Jim DiBiaso

James 5:13-20

As we finish our study of the book of James, we see the power of prayer and praise. We hear testimonies of God revealing Himself in response to them. The Lord can move mightily if we stay focused on Him.

 

(8-11-19) Plans, Prosperity, and Perseverance - Jim DiBiaso

James 4:13-5:11

As James begins to close his letter, he speaks of God's Justice. The boasters and the rich oppressors will be judged for their pride and selfish living, while the humble who persevere in trials will experience His compassion and mercy.

(8-4-19) The Grace of Giving - Jim DiBiaso

2 Corinthians 8:7

God's grace enables us to walk out our faith. That grace

includes generosity. God invites us to participate in His work

by giving our lives and our resources. God meets needs

through His people.
