- Sermon Series: Book of Revelation Week 6 “Comfort Kills Faithfulness” (00:57:27)
Today we covered Revelation 6 and 7 and the theme of compromise or faithfulness. We ventured to Hebrews and Romans to discuss this more. Comfort in the world is the killer of faithfulness to Christ.
- Sermon Series: Book of Revelation Week 5 “The Perfect Executor” (00:55:05)
Today we covered Revelation 5! Christ is the perfect and complete Judge, Redeemer and Executor! This world practices evil and sin, but God is patient and wants as many people to be saved as possible. Judgement will come, and so will redemption - you can’t understand one without the other.
- Truth Over Deception (00:52:55)
We stepped away from our Revelation series to speak about the accused, the slanderer, the deceiver, the bringer of light - the devil and his weapon of deception.

- Sermon Series: Book of Revelation Week 4 “Created to Worship God” (00:54:05)
Today in our Sermon Series in the Book of Revelation, we covered Chapter 4 and talked about we were created to worship the God of creation. The questions we need to ask ourselves is where do you put your worship? Do you worship the God described in Revelation 4, or do you put your worship somewhere else? It belongs to Him!
- Sermon Series: Book of Revelation Week 3 - Unpacking the “rapture” (01:16:37)
Why do we believe what we believe when it comes to the Bible and the different doctrines it entails? Is it through humble hearts and asking the the Holy Spirit to guide us in our reading of God’s Word, or did we just merely adopt something that may seem more traditional and “man-made”? Today’s sermon on the rapture is not meant to offend anyone and their beliefs, but challenge people in their discernment in their understanding of the Bible. Regardless of what you believe when it comes to this topic, do you break fellowship because of conflicting views? Does the doctrine produce a “bad fruit” in you towards others? Please listen.
- Sermon Series: Book of Revelation Week 2 (Letters to the 7 Churches and Communion) (01:18:30)

- Awe of God (00:42:56)
We had our first worship gathering in our new building and it was packed! The sermon today was about our awe of God. Do we still have it? Did we ever have it? Proper awe in God is vital to walking in joy with the Lord. Take a listen!(Photo is of Dax swimming in Lake Michigan)
- Baptism and Salvation (00:43:30)
Today we spoke about baptism and how salvation coincides with it. We looked at verses in the Bible that seem to assume that baptism is salvific and required to be saved. This however contradicts with the foundational element of grace in the Gospel message. We unpack a few of these verses and talk about the beauty of baptism and what it truly signifies.
- Mind of Christ (00:49:14)
Today we unpacked what it means to have the mind of Christ. This does not mean that we are able to just “take hardships”, but rejoice in the midst of them! 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 was the selected passage. Open your Bibles and follow along.

- The Book of Galatians Sermon Series: Week 6 (see description) (00:47:58)
We continued our No Other Gospel Book of Galatians Series by closing out chapter 4 with some expounding on our “wilderness” time we will find ourselves in. This time is not “aimless” but by divine appointment. Pastor Josh wants to make sure he holds true to the proper teaching of God’s word, and in speaking and preaching can “slip up” because his brain has not caught up with his mouth. See below some notes corrections he wanted to point out:*At the 8:25 minute mark Pastor Josh was referencing Numbers 20:10. Moses was prevented from entering the promise land because he disobeyed God by not speaking to the Rock along with striking it twice. *At the 23:30 minute mark, Sarah waited 25 years to have Isaac after God said she would give birth to a child. Pastor Josh in error said 20 years. *At the 24:45 minute mark Pastor Josh in error said “Heavenly Father” being sinful when he meant to say “earthly father”.
