Our final message in the book of Isaiah. We are in Isaiah 66, where in the beginning of the chapter we see a contrast between the type of person that God seeks to dwell with and one who chooses their own ways. The questions for us are, which will we choose to be? And what do the lives of these people look like?
Good morning! We are thankful that you decided to join us in worship virtually. This morning we will be studying Isaiah 40. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful and encouraging passages in the Bible. What it speaks to is how awesome our God is, and what we see is that not only is He awesome, He is completely without comparison. There is no one or nothing that can take the place of God in our lives. I pray that you are blessed and encouraged by the service this morning.
Our message this morning is from Isaiah 36 &37. We are going to be looking at a battle that never happened between the Assyrians and the city of Jerusalem. The reason the battle never happened, was because God fought the battle for His people. The Assyrians were arrogant and believed nothing would stop them, but our God is stronger than any physical army this world has. That is where when can place our trust in the midst of our battles.
Our message this morning is from Isaiah 30, where the example of Judah and Israel will show us what happens when we decide to follow our own plans instead of God's. In our own lives we can easily make our plans apart from God, what we see from God's people is that any plans made apart from God are bad plans.
Good morning! Kate Perkins, one of our missionaries, is here to share an update on her ministry. Kate is a missionary with YWAM (Youth with a Mission) and she has been serving for the last several as the leader of Phos house in Madison Wisconsin. God has been doing some amazing things in Kate's ministry, and she has some exciting new things on the horizon that she will be sharing with us this morning.
Good morning! Today we are studying chapters 25 and 25 of the book of Isaiah. These two chapters are one of the few sections in Isaiah where he writes in poetry to his audience. It is important for us to know how to read and understand Biblical poetry. Isaiah is going to use poetry here to communicate a deeper understanding of practical truths about God and His character.
This morning we are continuing our study of the book of Isaiah. We are going to be unpacking chapters 13-24 today. These chapters are filled with prophecies for different nations that are active at the time of Isaiah. We are going to look at these prophecies this morning and you will notice a theme of pride, arrogance, and trust in the wrong things. These chapters should serve as a warning for things that we need to watch out for in our own lives.
This morning our message is from Isaiah chapter 11. The theme for our entire series is "God's Restoration Promises." And this morning we will see that restoration is promised through the coming of the Messiah. Jesus is restoring lives today through His deaths burial and resurrection. We are going to explore all the restoration themes from Isaiah 11 together.
Good morning! This morning our message is from Isaiah chapters 2-4. Isaiah 2-4 talks about what is to come in the future not just for Judah and the nation of Israel but for all of us. It is important to keep our eyes on what is to come because we want to live expectant lives. We want to live like Jesus is coming back, it will help us to be bold for the gospel. We have hope for the future.
We are starting into a series in Isaiah called God's restoration promises. We are going to dive into the background of Isaiah this morning, and also talk about how chapter 1 of Isaiah really sets the table for the rest of the book. Judah & Israel are nations living in rebellion to God and yet there is hope for these sinful nations because of the grace of God.
Happy Easter Sunday! He is risen indeed! On this Easter Sunday our passage will be Matthew 12:38-42. Jesus is responding to a request from the religious leaders. He is telling them that He will give them the sign of Jonah, and that something greater is with them. Do you see that something greater is available to you, through the resurrection of Jesus.
Everything is in God's hands! Even when things seem out of control. Maybe God is speaking? Maybe God wants us to WAKE UP!

When you read the Bible you soon discover that God's people were instructed to hold regular feasts throughout the Jewish year. The reason was so that they would take time to remember and celebrate all that God has done. Join us as we remember and celebrate all the good things God has done for us in Jesus!
There are people with real needs all around us. So what is our responsibility to meet those needs? How do we decide which ones to meet and which ones to ignore?
Success can be dangerous. It can cause us to think more highly of ourselves and to take credit for things that God provided. That’s why we must beware of the subtle test of success and be ready to handle it.
The resurrection of Jesus from the dead proves that the sacrifice of Jesus was sufficient to pay for all our sins and gives us the power to forgive others when they sin against us.

Every person on Earth was created to know and love God personally. Life is meaningless without God, but God gives everything meaning.
