The problem in the Colossian church was heresy in the form of adding spiritual things to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have a similar environment today with ?spirituality? being in, but Jesus as the only way to God unacceptable. Learn how to evaluate your life for signs of being spiritual without Christ as you listen to his message introducing the book of Colossians. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080504_MV_ColPt2.mp3 Mon, 05 May 2008 14:25:00 -0400 Why Core? What is the message? This message identified the major, over-arching theme of Colossians ("Christ in you, the hope of glory") and showed how it applies to various areas of life. The message was call for a renewed commitment to intimacy with Jesus. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080427_MV_ColPt1.mp3 Fri, 02 May 2008 12:10:00 -0400 This Sunday we held the installation service for our new Lead Pastor, Mark Vroegop. Dr. Jim Grier brought the message to us. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080420_JGrier_Installation.mp3 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:54:00 -0400 Part 10 in our series through the book of Mark. Mark 2:3-3:6. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080413_JBartemus_MarkPt10.mp3 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:07:00 -0400 Part 9 in our series through the book of Mark. Mark 2:18-22. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080406_DPabody_MarkPt9.mp3 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 12:17:30 -0400 Part 8 in our series through the book of Mark. Mark 2:13-17. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080330_NIrwin_MarkPt8.mp3 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 12:17:30 -0400 Easter Sunday - This morning we celebrate Easter - the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But it is more than just an anniversary or date on a calendar. It is a harbinger of things to come, a lens through which you see Gods plan for the future. So Easter is just a taste, a savoring, an appetizer of the main meal of Gods redemptive plan. Easter was not the finale. It was only the beginning of all that God is going to do. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080323_MVroegop.mp3 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 23:52:30 -0400 Pastor Doug Pabody continued our series on the Gospel of Mark,reviewing the account of a miracle Jesus performed, after forgiving a man's sins. Jesus directly confronts the beliefs of the scribes and gives them proof He is the Messiah and alone can forgive sin. The beauty of this account is the faithfulness of the friends that introduced this man to Jesus. Nothing can make you feel more alive than being the person God uses to introduce a friend or relative to Jesus. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080309_DPabody_MarkPt7.mp3 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:52:30 -0400 Pastor Doug Pabody preached about Jesus? willingness to make us clean from the Mark 1:40-45 text. Jesus takes the hideousness of leprosy and turns it into the makings of a disciple within moments. There are steps, however, to bringing such a dramatic result. The sick must call themselves sick. The sick must realize who their true help is. The sick must call out for that help. And the Helper must respond. He is willing, if we are willing to ?implore him and kneel.? http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080309_DPabody_MarkPt6.mp3 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:59:59 -0400 How does a warrior like Jesus sustain himself in battle? Pastor Joe Bartemus introduces the sermon yesterday using that phrase. Preaching on Mark 1:35-39, Joe displays for us Jesus? battle plan for keeping his heart in the battle, his eyes fixed rightly and his ears hearing only from His Father. It is a lesson for us in how we do the battle and how we do life. This is ?readiness for kingdom service as we look at Jesus? spiritual physique; here we get a glimpse into his spiritual anatomy exam. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080302_JBartemus_MarkPt5.mp3 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:59:59 -0400 Pastor Joe Bartemus continued our series on the Gospel of Mark. Pastor Joe?s message was a review of the power of the God incarnate, Jesus Christ. While Jesus was sweet and kind, this account describes and displays His power and authority over demons and disease. This power is a clear sign of His complete authority over all spiritual and physical things. These miracles point to one thing, Jesus? is returning with His complete victory over all evil and will establish a new heaven and new earth for all those who are His children through faith in Him. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080224_JBartemus_MarkPt4.mp3 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:59:59 -0400 Pastor Mark Vroegop was welcomed today to College Park Church. Mark is our candidate to become College Parks new Lead Pastor. Mark's message from 1 John was a proclamation that Gods Ways Work. There were some problems in areas of the first home churches. The Apostle John knew how to solve these problems and wrote the letter of 1 John as a permanent reminder for us of what is important as we live in this world as witnesses of Jesus Christ. The church should be a place of real life change, a place where God?s ways work. And, others should be able to see these life changes as we share what God has done in our own lives. Through our testimonies we Glorify God in magnificent ways. Pastor Mark enthusiastically brought us three things that are critical to bringing Glory to the Lord Jesus; understanding the REAL JESUS, understanding REAL FELLOWSHIP and understanding REAL JOY. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080210_MVroegop.mp3 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 23:59:59 -0400 Pastor Doug Pabody provided our message today. As Mark continues to revel to us his account of the Gospel, he provides us the account of the end of John the Baptists ministry and the beginning of Jesus. Jesus spoke the Words of Life; the Kingdom of God is at hand, Repent and Believe in the Gospel. Doug brings us a close encounter with the real following of Jesus or the wallowing in your sin and circumstances. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080203_DPabody_MarkPt3.mp3 Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:59:59 -0400 Mark cannot wait any longer to introduce Jesus and he does so in verse nine. In his matter of fact style, Mark describes the unconditional obedience of Jesus in baptism, and the incredible response God the Father had to this action. God called Jesus, His beloved Son and let all know He was very pleased with Him. We are also introduced to the Triune God at work, in Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God the Father. Nate?s sermn covers the hope and help we can find in this life experience of the God-Man Jesus. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080120_NIrwin_MarkPt2.mp3 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 23:59:59 -0400 As an introduction to our new book study as well as the New Year, Pastor Nate began to uncover the verbal picture the Gospel of Mark draws of Jesus, so that your heart would be drawn to Him, through repentance, and your life would be forever changed through faith in Him. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080113_NIrwin_MarkPt1.mp3 Sun, 13 Jan 2008 23:59:59 -0400 Randy Patten, executive Director of NANC brought us our message today. Are you weary? Are there things in your life that have made you weary, perhaps circumstances, responses of people, family situations, or maybe guilt over your own sinful decisions? Jesus Christ made an appeal to those who are weary and offers them rest for their souls. Randy?s message defined practical ways to find this peace Jesus offers, though faith in Jesus Christ. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20080106_RPatten.mp3 Sun, 06 Jan 2008 23:59:59 -0400 Matthew 2:1-18 http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071230_NIrwin.mp3 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 23:59:59 -0400 John 1:14 http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071223_JBartemus.mp3 Sun, 23 Dec 2007 23:59:59 -0400 As the King of the Universe, you would think that Jesus would do things that could be predicted or expected. In fact, just the opposite was true. From His coming as a baby in a manger, to Him being executed on the cross, all unexpected, yet right in the center of Gods design and will. When you understand this, as Gods providence and plan, you will have the foundation for understanding and glorifying God in every area and season of your life. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071216_DBartemus.mp3 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 23:59:59 -0400 Nehemiah 13:15-31 http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071202_JBartemus_NehPt15.mp3 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 23:59:59 -0400 Pastor Nate Irwin brought a message on Nehemiah 13:114, outlining three pegs that we are to hold onto in our faith. In Nehemiahs absence from Jerusalem, Eliashib the priest had allowed sin in the camp and specifically, had allowed Tobiah a chamber in the house of God. Nehemiah, after hearing of this, returns to Jerusalem and begins to set things right. His responses are to be how we live out our lives before God. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071125_NIrwin_NehPt14.mp3 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 23:59:59 -0400 This chapter is about the worship of our Mighty God. Everyone was involved in preparing to worship and in the participation of worship. The hearts of the people were filled with joy as the destination of worship and the center of their worship was one in the same - God Himself. This would have the Jews end up in the Temple and it will have us end up at the feet of Jesus Christ. As we worship the Lord with pure hearts, the Glory of the Lord will have a life changing impact on everything we do. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071111_JBartemus_NehPt13.mp3 Sun, 11 Nov 2007 23:59:59 -0400 Pastor Joe Bartemus teaches through Nehemiah 11 regarding what is Sacred and what is Secular and how can we know the difference. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071104_JBartemus_ NehPt12.mp3 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 23:59:59 -0400 We are in the middle of the book of Nehemiah. The construction project of the wall is complete and now the consecration of the people continues. After the Word of God was read, God?s people began to be convicted of sin and repent. Now the people want to make commitments to change. They are at a point where they want to write out specific things that they know God wants them to change in their lives by renewing their vows to God. Chapter 10 is a record of the people who renewed specific vows to obey God and His Word. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071028_NIrwin_NehPt11.mp3 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 23:59:59 -0400 We are in the middle of Nehemiah 9. The wall is up and ready for protection, but now the God of the wall must work on the hearts of the people inside the wall. Walls without good people do not serve any function at all. The beginning is faith; faith requires a good memory and the prayer beginning in verse 6 is exactly that. The Goodness of God is being remembered by the great works He has done from creation through the Exodus; verse 22 picks up with our sermon title: Great Expectations: The Land, the Law and the Lord. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071021_NIrwin_Neh_Pt10.mp3 Sun, 21 Oct 2007 23:59:59 -0400 Dr. Ron Cline, Global Ambassador for HCJB Radio, brought our message from Psalm 100 http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071014_RCline.mp3 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 23:59:59 -0400 Pastor Doug Pabody preached Sunday on Nehemiah 9:1-21. The Jews, after celebrating the Feast of Booths, responded in personal confession and repentance, fasting, worship and reading of the Law. They recounted the deeds of their God and also recounted their own deeds and the deeds of their forefathers. Pastor Pabody brought out the significance of this and how we should be living this out today, in our very lives, recounting our own deeds and recounting what God has done for us in light of what we have done against Him. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20071007_DPabody_NehPt9.mp3 Sun, 07 Oct 2007 23:59:59 -0400 When the seventh month had come, the people gathered for the Word of God to be read to the people. There was great awe and reverence for the Word as the people stood and listened carefully to the reading of this Word from God. After the reading of the Word, the people were filled with a joy of divine origin, for the Lord was their strength. After hearing the Word of God, and when they understood it, the people eagerly obeyed the Word, in detail, and there was very great rejoicing in their community. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070930_JBartemus_NehPt8.mp3 Sun, 30 Sep 2007 23:59:59 -0400 The wall was about to be finished, but the opposition was continuing. Nehemiahs enemies began using the subtle tactics of distraction and discouragement to get him to stop work on the wall. When this did not affect Nehemiah, or the work of God, the enemy resorted to the crafty deception of inviting Nehemiah to sin and be disqualified for the work of God. Through prayer and a God developed strong character, Nehemiah prevails through this opposition and finishes the wall in a staggering 52 days. When the enemies realized this work could have only been accomplished by the hand of God they were afraid and were humbled (as God was exalted). The enemies realized there was a power at work greater than they had seen in their lives. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070916_NIrwin_NehPt6.mp3 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 23:59:59 -0400 Nehemiah not only successfully fought battles with his enemies outside his city; he addressed and persevered through injustice inside his city. Today?s lesson shows us how Nehemiah stood up for the poor and provided them tangible relief from their situation. Nehemiah motivated the wealthy to repent from their self centered life style, showing how this defamed the reputation of God and had them turn to and fear God, by making sacrifices for their fellow brothers who were in desperate need. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070909_DPabody_NehPt5.mp3 Sun, 09 Sep 2007 23:59:59 -0400 There is resistance when you are doing work for the Kingdom of God. We need to expect resistance and pray, prepare and proceed with our work when it comes. This resistance is from evil which attacks the Truth, our physical safety and our hearts. As we pick up our swords (the Bible) we can fight against all of it and succeed, as we continue to work for God. Therefore, keep your sword in one hand and your trowel in the other - fight and work for the Kingdom of God! http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070902_JBartemus_NehPt4.mp3 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 23:59:59 -0400 Work in the Kingdom of God centers on God. Nehemiah 3 may appear laborious in the volume of names; however, it shows how important each name was to God and how each person fit together, working together, in their neighborhood to repair the broken walls of Jerusalem. In working for God, He gives us the power to give Him Glory. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070826_JBartemus_NehPt3.mp3 Sun, 26 Aug 2007 23:59:59 -0400 On August 19, 2007, Nate talked about what it means to take action in our walk with Christ. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070819_NIrwin_NehPt2.mp3 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 23:59:59 -0400 On August 12, 2007, we kicked off a new series studying through the book of Nehemiah. The theme is A Fresh work of God: Building the Kingdom together. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070812_NIrwin_NehemiahPt1.mp3 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 23:59:59 -0400 On August 5, 2007, Dale Shaw, Director of Local Outreach, continued preaching on purity. This is the final sermon on a 3 part series of Purity. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070805_DShaw_PurityPt3.mp3 Sun, 05 Aug 2007 23:59:59 -0400 On July 29, 2007, Doug Pabody, Director of Counseling, continued preaching on purity and the importance of guarding oneself from sexual sin. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070729_DPabody_Purity_Pt2.mp3 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 23:59:59 -0400 On 7/22/07, July 22, 2007: Doug Pabody, Director of Counseling, began a new four-week series on purity. In this week's message he challenged us to consider God's intent for sex within marriage. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070722_DPabody_Purity_pt1.mp3 Sun, 22 Jul 2007 23:59:59 -0400 On 7/15/07, Dr. Jim Grier preached to us a very timely message in response to Kimber Kauffman?s confession and repentance and request for corporate forgiveness. His charge is to maintain a prayer life that is much different than religious ritual, but is also lived out in how we love others and also in how we view our own sin and grace done to us by a forgiving God. This grace must be passed on. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070715_JGrier.mp3 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 15:35 -0400 On 7/08/07, Doug Pabody, Director of Counseling, finished our series on the book of Hebrews reminding us that following Christ in a radical way has always been politically incorrect. He challenged us that going out to Jesus involves http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070708_DPabody_HebrewsPt34.mp3 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 15:15 -0400 On 7/01/07, Nate Irwin, Director of Global Outreach, preached on the evidences of faith mentioned in Hebrews 13. By grace, we are strengthened to love, for purity, and for contentment, all which comes from Christ. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070701_NIrwin_Hebrews_Pt33.mp3 Fri, 06 Jul 2007 16:15 -0400 On 6/24/07, Nate Irwin, Director of Global Outreach, preached on our citizenship as members of the City of God, Zion?s comparison with Mount Sinai, a warning about the City, and the City?s permanence. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070624_NIrwin_Hebrews_pt32.mp3 Fri, 06 Jul 2007 16:10 -0400 On 6/17/07, Doug Pabody, Director of Counseling, compelled us to stay in the race of life, run well, finish, and gain the prize. From the text, he challenged us to throw off any hindrances, run with endurance, and keep our focus on Jesus.On 6/17/07, Joe Bartemus, Pastor of Adult Education, preached on the nature of God?s discipline in our lives. When God disciplines us, he reminds us that he Loves us, that we are his Legitimate sons, and that he is Looking forward to the future yield discipline will bring. http://www.yourchurch.com/audio_files/20070617_JBartemus_HebrewsPt31.mp3 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 08:40 -0400 On 6/10/07, Doug Pabody, Director of Counseling, compelled us to stay in the race of life, run well, finish, and gain the prize.
