The Gospel According to Mark - Week 3

Pastor Marshall Ochs | January 19, 2020

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Mark 3-4. In these verses, Jesus deals with crowds of followers, teaches a spiritual principle on leadership, teaches about church family, and explains how the Kingdom of God is like a seed. In the parable of the seed, only those who hear the Word of God and accept it will grow and mature. The maturity process looks different for every person, and we are reminded to extend grace to those who are still maturing.

The Gospel According to Mark - Week 2

Lyell Walker | January 12, 2020

In this message, Lyell walks through five different times in Mark 2-3 when Jesus came in conflict with the religious leaders of his day. When we examine these interactions, we see that while the scribes and pharisees tried to honor God by keeping his commandments they lost the heart of the law - love God, love others. As Christians today, we can avoid repeating this religious behavior by remembering that a disciple of Jesus doesn't use the Word of God as a weapon to hurt others or to justify withholding mercy from those who need it most.

Advent 2019 - Week 2

Lyell Walker | December 15, 2019

In this message, Lyell teaches from Luke 1-2 and Jeremiah 29. He shows how Israel was instructed to wait for God’s promise of salvation, but the waiting caused the people to form a different idea of salvation. Israel was expecting God to save them as a king who defeated Rome; they were not ready for a baby in a manger who came to conquer sin. This message reminds us that believing in God is not equal to placing your hope in God. This advent we should examine our lives and place all of our hope in God, not this world.

1 Corinthians - Week 7

Pastor Marshall Ochs | November 24, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from 1 Corinthians 15-16. In these chapters, Paul reminds us that our identity is in Christ, and the cornerstone of that identity is the resurrection of Jesus. Without the power of resurrection, everything we believe as Christians is pointless. The reality that Jesus defeated the greatest enemy, death, gives us hope in a better world. God has the power to bring the dead back to life and transform our lives.

1 Corinthians - Week 6

Pastor Marshall Ochs | November 17, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from 1 Corinthians 12-14. In these chapters, Paul instructs the Corinthian church about spiritual gifts and how to exercise them in the corporate worship gathering. He encourages them to use love as a guide for using gifts in corporate worship and to prefer using gifts that edify the most amount of people. These chapters guide our use of spiritual gifts as well and remind us to live in a way that is dependent on the Spirit of God and not our natural abilities.
