Acts #25 - 5 Missional Marks From Acts 14

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 14. This chapter, like much of this section of Acts, is about the spread of the Gospel. It is full of principles for our walk as believers today, and how we need to see ourselves as contributors to the advancement of the Kingdom in our day!

Acts #24 - Share the Gospel!

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 13:13-52. This text is all about the Gospel - the good news of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is critically important to the Christian walk and for the world that doesn't know Jesus. The Gospel is BOTH a reality to be lived and experienced, AND a message to be shared. We NEED to be doing both!

Acts #23 - The Church, The Sending & The Spirit - Reflections From Acts 13

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 12:25-13:12. This text is a 'grab bag' of different topics - what a healthy church looks like, how God sends Christians out into the world, and how the Holy Spirit gives us strength to be effective and fruitful in works of ministry. Remember, Acts is not just a story of what happened in the past; it's a reminder of how God is still moving today!

Acts #22 - Acting Like You're God vs. Actively Trusting in God

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 12:1-24. This text recounts the narrative of the persecution against the church at the hand of Herod Agrippa I. However, this text is more than just narrative - it is a case study on two ways we can choose to live our lives. We can choose to live like Herod and act like we're God, or we can live like Peter and the Church and actively trust God. These two choices result in a world of difference that can literally make you or break you.

Put Your Money Where Your Heart Is

In this message, Richard Jones teaches about money - something that is very prone to becoming an idol in our lives. Money is a gift from God, but it should never take the place of God in our lives. If we worship money, we become enslaved by it, but if we worship God with our money, it can be blessed by him and be a blessing for ourselves and others. It's time to put our money where our hearts belong - under the authority of Jesus!

Beholding Jesus in Christmas Songs #4 - What Child Is This?

In this message, Pastor Braden covers the famous Christmas song "What Child is This?". The main theme from this song is that Jesus is not a secondary matter; our faith in him and walk with him is first importance!

Beholding Jesus in Christmas Songs #3 - O Come All Ye Faithful

In this message, Pastor Braden analyzes the famous Christmas song "O Come All Ye Faithful". This song is straight to the point - we need to spend our lives beholding, adoring, and giving glory to Jesus. This is literally what life is all about!

Beholding Jesus in Christmas Songs #2 - Joy to the World

In this message, Pastor Braden leads us through the famous Christmas song "Joy to the World". It may surprise you to know that this was not even originally intended to be a Christmas song! Rather, it focuses much attention to the second coming of Christ. However, we can (and do) still sing this as a great Christmas song that quickens our hearts during the holiday season.

Beholding Jesus in Christmas Songs #1 - Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

In this series, we unpack one familiar Christmas song per week and analyze it. We want to get a better understanding on what the words mean (!), of the scriptural richness of each song, and most importantly, to behold Jesus in them!

The first song is Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.

The Lukewarm Church of Laodicea

In this message, Marius Goguen brings a word about the lukewarm church of Laodicea from Revelation chapter 3. This is a timely and practical word for how to help combat lukewarmness in our faith!
