2018 Sermons
December 30th, 2018
Youth Pastor Justin Knapp filled in for Pastor Randy Berg today.
Are you in a desert? Are you going through a trial in life and struggling with the silence of God? For 400 years the nation of Israel had not heard from God. For 400 years the nation of Israel had been waiting for the Messiah. In Matthew Chapter 3, we see that Messiah commissioned by a poor desert prophet. In our sermon today we will explore how God uses deserts in our lives and how His Kingdom is coming through repentance.

God With Us..."Peace, Something Worth Finding & Keeping"
What is Peace? Is it the calm between storms? Is it brief moments in our busy lives where we can stop and relax, only to start up again when the bell rings again? I don't believe momentary or 5 minute blocks of time are the peace God has in mind for us. He promises us peace which rules our hearts and minds.

What Does God want you to BE?
God has a lot to say about giving generously and it does not all have to do with money.
It's not something that kicks in at Thanksgiving or Christmas, or when you walk by a Salvation Army kettle.
Generosity is more a mindset than an action.
If God were to evaluate your heart, would He say you were a generous person?

What Does God want you to BE?
BE STILL
Do you hear the voice of God when He speaks to you? What are the distractions in your life?
What noise is constantly drowning out the voice of God as He tries to speak into your life?
How can we shut out what we don't need in order to open up to hear what we need to hear?

What Does God want you to BE?
Today we are looking at what it means to be on the receiving end of the incredible love of God.
You are loved just the way you are, regardless of how good you can be or how much you can contribute.
What keeps you from fully comprehending the implications of His love?

Do you want to be WITH God or do you want to BE God?
(Our Youth Pastor Justin Knapp took over today while Pastor Randy was at play)
Looking at Genesis Chapter 3, Justin uses the story of the fall as an illustration of temptation, connecting how God is with Adam and Eve in the garden, to parenting.
Be a parent of YES, so that your NOs matter.

What Do You Want to BE?
Become... Belong... Be Transformed
God calls us to Be Bold / Be Strong.
We are often put into places where God needs us to be His light and voice.
It is not easy and we can shy away and do nothing, or we can show up, stand up, and speak up.
Where do you find you are challenged to be bold for God and His agenda?
