(4/28/19)- Avoiding Legalism- Pastor Ryan

Matthew 15:1-20

In this passage, Jesus addresses man's tendency to lose sight of the true gospel, when following religion and tradition. Don't be religious, but walk in true humility. God looks on the heart.

(Easter Sunday) God's Restoration Plan - Jim DiBiaso

In the Garden of Eden, man fell from life to death. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus submitted himself to the will of the Father. At the Garden tomb, man moved from death to life, as Jesus
overcame sin, death and the grave. Hallelujah!

(4/14/19)- Focus- pt. 2 - Jim DiBiaso

Luke 19:28-44

Some of the crowd who heralded Jesus as he entered Jerusalem were calling for his crucifixion a week later, because their vision was out of focus. They wanted a

conquering king, instead of a suffering Savior. What are your expectations of Jesus?

(4/7/19) Focus- Jim DiBiaso

Jim DiBiaso - Luke 9:51-62

As we walk with the Lord, it's important to keep focused on God's call on our life. In this passage, we see how the disciples and others allowed emotions and distractions to shift their focus from the purposes of God. Jesus never lost focus on his future, despite the cost.

(3/31/19)- Shabbat Parah - Pastor Will Donato

Numbers 19:1-13

The Hebrew people celebrated the Sabbath of the Red Heifer, as a rite of purification before the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover. See how Old Testament truth is revealed in Christ in the New Testament.

(3/24/19) A Life of Praise- Pastor Will Donato

Pastor Will Donato - 1 Peter 4:1-11

God has called us to a life of praise, both in word and deed,regardless of our circumstances. As we administer His grace through love and service, He is glorified and we are blessed.

(3-17-19) Sow the Seed- Pastor Will Donato

Matthew 13:18-23 When Jesus compared the sharing of the Kingdom message to sowing seeds, he made it clear that not every word falls into fertile soil. The problem is not with the seed, so we should never stop sharing the message, even if it may fail to bear fruit at times.

(3-10-19) You Are Blessed- Dr. Dan Varnell

Dr. Dan Varnell - Matthew 5:1-6

Jesus came to bless mankind. As He begins His Sermon on the Mount, He reinforces the fact that His blessing is there no matter what our circumstances may be. For this, we can rejoice always.

(3/3/19) - Lessons from Joseph- Pastor Ryan

Pastor Ryan Diffenderfer- Genesis 37-50- The life of Joseph teaches us that God is faithful to keep His promises. Jospeh did what was right regardless the circumstances of his life, and God used Joseph's obedience to be a blessing to others. "What man intended for evil, God intended for good." Even though we may not always see it or feel it, God is at work in all seasons of our lives.  

(2/24/2019) Grace - Frank Shelton

Frank Shelton - John 8:1-11

As we study the account of Jesus ministering to the adulteress brought to Him in the Temple court, we are reminded of God's grace. Jesus didn't come to follow a religion, but to share love and life to sinners. To receive eternal life, we need simply to receive the pardon bought by His blood.
