The Harvest is Plentiful…

This morning, Pastor Jared shared a message building on his messages of the past couple weeks on Biblical manhood and Biblical womanhood, ultimately challenging us to get serious about that which Jesus is serious about: people.

Drawing from Hosea, referencing the miracles of Jesus in Matthew 8 and 9, and ultimately wrapping up with Matthew 9:37-38, Pastor Jared reminds us that God needs workers, both men and women, ready and willing to do whatever it takes to love people lost in their sins. Our mission and our ministry as men and women of God is to have mercy and compassion for those who need Jesus that are everywhere in our lives. We’re called to do whatever it takes to reach them.

Are you willing? If you’re a born again follower of Christ, you’d better be.

Check out the sermon audio to the right and please… get serious about doing that for which you are called!

Biblical Manhood

As noted in last week’s podcast, we’re focusing at the beginning of this year on being completely Biblical as a church, starting with the Biblical roles of men and women. It’s critical that we understand our roles so that God may be most glorified not only in our lives individually, but in our church.

Today’s message focuses on Biblical Manhood, as outlined in Ephesians 5. Men have a deep Biblical responsibility to lead their wives and their families!

Biblical Womanhood

As we begin a new year, we believe it’s very important to focus on being completely Biblical as a church. A critical part of this is that men and women understand exactly what their Biblical roles look like, so that each of us might live as God intends.

Today’s message focuses on Biblical Womanhood, as outlined in Ephesians 5 and other locations in Scripture. It tackles a subject that’s very difficult for most women in today’s culture: Biblical submission.

Those “Dirty” Deacons…

In the modern church, there is often times quite a bit of confusion about the office of deacon, both amongst church members and deacons themselves. In many churches, deacon bodies have created huge problems. In others? They’ve been almost all that’s RIGHT with the church.

The point? The importance of good deacons cannot be emphasized enough, and it’s critical that we understand the instructions God has given us about them.

This morning, Pastor Jared helped us to dig into Scripture to do just this. His message, entitled, “Those Dirty Deacons” can be found by clicking on the link to the right.

Biblical Leadership

In secular organizations, a huge emphasis is placed on leadership (and rightly so). Corporations live and die as a result of leadership. Millions of dollars are gained and lost due to leadership. The stakes are high.

In the church, the stakes are even higher. As we deal with matters of eternity, the ability of our leaders to closely follow Christ and guide the church in His ways is absolutely critical.

Thankfully, we’re not on our own… God has given us instructions, which Pastor Jared dug into with us this morning (1 Timothy 3:1-16).
