Called to Follow: The Coaching of a Disciple

Text: Luke 5:1-11

It may sound strange to consider Jesus as a coach. After all, He is King of kings and Lord of lords, the Savior of the world. However, when we consider how He takes us as we are and molds us and shapes us to be what He wants us to be, we quickly realize that, much like a coach, He does this step-by-step as we follow Him. Jesus knows exactly where you are today, and more importantly He knows exactly where He wants to lead you. We invite you to listen today, to follow His lead, and to be changed by the work He does in your life.

Called to Follow: The Calling of a Disciple

Text: Matthew 4:12-22

Many people in our American culture, and certainly within the Church, refer to themselves as Christians. While this can be a wonderful thing when it is an accurate claim, it is interesting to note that Jesus Himself never called His followers “Christians.” Instead, He called those who followed Him “disciples.” Throughout this sermon and the series that follows we discover what it means to truly be a devoted follower of Jesus. We hope that you will listen to the message today to examine where you stand in your relationship with Christ and pray that God uses this series to draw you closer and make you more like Jesus.

The Vision Provision

Text: Habakkuk 2:1-3

It is the beginning of a new year! We always hear talk of New Year’s resolutions and goals around this time. Instead of a New Year’s resolution that can be temporary or short lived, by taking a look at the example from an Old Testament prophet, Pastor Michael shares a challenge to discern and develop a life vision statement that you commit to having in 2024 and beyond. As believers, we need to commit to the calling and direction God gives and live it out for the glory of God.

This Is Our God: El Roi: "The God Who Sees"

Text: Genesis 16:1-16

Everyone faces trials and struggles in life, but it is especially comforting to know that the living God of heaven is the God who sees. He is omnipresent, in all places at all times, and omniscient, knowing all things. There is no fact in the world or in each of our lives that escapes His notice. We invite you to listen to the message today to be encouraged that God sees where you’ve been, sees where you are, and sees where He is wanting to lead you. May we each learn to walk by faith as we trust in the God who sees!
