MCA Sermon Podcast: Recent Episodes
MCA
Although there is great variety in the body of Christ, we are connected to one another. Each part is important and has an essential function.
When we are filled with love for our church family, we are willing to put aside our personal rights to help serve weaker brothers and sisters. This brings glory to God and helps us steer clear of idolatry.
When we follow Christ we walk in purity. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and we must beware the pitfalls of sexual temptation. We have been bought with the blood of Jesus!
Our pursuit of maturing in Christ is not meant to be done alone. We are called to serve, care for, and love one another in the household of faith.
Join us for our Sunday morning worship service where we will be recognizing our high school senior.
Jesus is coming back! We ought to wait with patience for his sure return as we grow in grace and knowledge.
When false teachers whisper sweet words into the ears of immature Christians, the body of Christ begins to break apart and lose sight of the most important thing: the good news of salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We must hold tightly to Christ and the good news of the gospel!
The events of Jesus life, death, and resurrection are foretold in the prophecies of the Old Testament. We can read the Bible knowing that it is the true Word of God.
As we follow Jesus we grow spiritually. Press on to deepen your faith and keep growing in Christ!
In today's passage, Jesus humbles himself and symbolizes the cleansing power of forgiveness of sins by washing his disciples feet. God's grace to us, through His Son, cleanses us and puts us in right relationship with Him."Do you understand what I have done for you?" - Jesus (John 13:12)
The Kingdom of Heaven will be different than anything we experience on earth. Therefore, our minds should be set on things of God rather than on things of the earth. When we set our mind on Jesus our lives are different and set apart.
Jesus sets high standards in the Sermon on the Mount. These help us see our need for a Savior.
Living hope allows us to face suffering with confidence in what is to come. Christ suffered for you, and Christ himself will restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
We are called to be holy before God - not just as individuals but as a church. The Lord will sanctify us as we build our lives on the sure foundation of Christ.
Through the resurrection of Jesus, we have a better hope that anything the world has to offer. You can live out your life with the confidence of salvation through Christ.
The great prophet Elijah experiences one of the most magnificent displays of God's power on earth, but then quickly hits rock bottom as despair and depression overwhelm him. God meets him in his darkness and restores him.
God invites us to cast our anxieties and burdens on him. In the story of David, we find the man after God's own heart expressing his unfiltered emotions to God, and God meets him in his loneliness.
God will come to us even in our darkest hour and make a way back to him. Like Jonah in the belly of the whale, even when we hit rock bottom in our disobedience and anger, God still pursues and rescues us.
Sowing love into your own life and others' lives is a tiring but important part of the Christian walk. We should live our lives to love God and to love others. God frees us from isolation.
Walking in the Spirit produces a holy lifestyle and enhances our relationship with the Lord. We can have victory over our fleshly desires if we stay focused on walking in the Spirit. God frees us from the desires of the flesh.
The simplicity of the gospel can be hard to accept. When we know the truth intimately, we won't be swayed by deceptive messages. God frees us from legalism.
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone. We should study Scripture closely, in order to recognize false teaching. God frees us from being people pleasers.
The nation of Israel failed to do her part, but even that failure would not prevent Gods promised Redeemer.
Gods justice is intentional and specific; his judgment is the result of his all-powerful nature. We are not able to measure up to His justice, but Jesus DID. What an amazing gift of Grace has been given to us through Jesus.
God has an ultimate plan. He has always been pointing toward the end. Even in his judgment, he is preparing us for something else.
None of our actions escape the attention of God. God is so concerned with how we treat others and represent him that he will do whatever it takes to make sure we treat others as he intends.
Followers of God are called to genuinely care for others, and God will determine if they have fulfilled that responsibility. God takes our responsibilities seriously, and when we fail to follow through, he promises justice.
Some of the baggage we haul around with us gives us anxiety about things out of our control. When we feel anxious, instead of bottling it up and keeping it within us, we should cast it on Jesus and trust him to handle it.
Many people are unwilling to experience the new things God is trying to do in their lives because of the baggage that keeps them longing for the past. When we wonder, what if or if only, we rob ourselves of the fresh work of God within us.
There are certain things in our lives we simply need to let go of in order to grow in our walk with Christ.
Fredericksburg Community Service on Sunday September 1, 2024. This was a joint service of the Fredericksburg Church of Christ, Fredericksburg Presbyterian Church and MCA.
Guest speaker Pastor Bob Fetterhoff joins us this week to talk about the significance of modern day Israel and Biblical Prophecy.
Phil Roberts brings the message this morning from Matthew 20. He presents a new thought on the name of this parable. A more appropriate name would be the Parable of the Vineyard Owner. Listen in to hear this perspective.
Our hearts are like soil into which the gospel is planted. Are you ready to receive the Word?
God is our safe place - even going to the extent of making the ultimate sacrifice for us. We can trust him.
God always has been and always will be. Unlike us, God does not depend on anything to exist. He is enternal. And yet, this great and glorious God desires to have a relationship with us.
Almighty God is enough to meet our needs. Gods protection comes to those who dwell in him.
The Most High God offers us shelter and salvation. Our focus and priority need to be on dwelling in the presence of the Most High God.
Knowing Jesus can happen in a single moment. Following Jesus happens over the course of a lifetime.
Jesus calls us to take up our cross. That means that the road ahead will be difficult at times. Will we walk away when it gets too tough? Or will we take up our cross as Jesus did?
Jesus calls us to give up our old ways of doing things and enter into the abundant life of Christ.
The first church proclaimed that Jesus was the Messiah. Jesus fulfills our deepest yearnings and hopes for life.
The first church proclaimed that salvation came through faith alone. When you are faced with great failure, remember all you need to do to be saved is believe in Jesus.
The first church proclaimed the power of Jesus. So often we can get lost in trying to sell our faith; instead, we should point people to Jesus and let him do the rest.
The first sermon of the church was about the passion of Christ. If you are a follower of Jesus, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus must be central to your faith.
Jesus was busy. But he was never in a hurry. He had counted the cost of his time, and knew exactly what he should do in order to fulfill his mission on earth. We can do the same by budgeting our time, and protecting it based on our priorities.
Our culture today is constantly striving for more. But God did not design our bodies to work hard forever with no breaks. There are distinct rhythms that enable us to be productive, even with our rest.
When Jesus came to earth, he temporarily traded in his Godly omnipresence. He could only be in one place at a time. Therefore, he had to prioritize the many good things pulling at his attention because he was laser-focused on finishing the work the Father gave him.
How we use our time impacts our personal and spiritual lives. At the start of a new year with goals and resolutions, wouldnt it be great if you got even better with managing your time? This morning we consider how our time management improves when we focus on Jesus rather than our tasks.
We are commanded throughout scripture to "redeem our time", because "the days are evil" and we are running out of time to do the "will of the Lord". If our aim is to redeem our time, it is imperative that we start with God's Word.
This morning Mark George brings our message. Mark shares how every aspect of the Gospel of Jesus points us to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Phil Roberts brings the Christmas message this morning. Simeon and Anna waited for the Messiah with expectant anticipation. We can take hope in the return of Jesus as we wait with expectant anticipation.
The word of God gives us hope. As we read the promises that God has given his people over the years, we know these promises are for us as well. The birth of Christ is a fulfillment of Old Testament Scripture for the Hebrew people, but it is also a fulfillment of Scripture for us.
For thousands of years, the Hebrew people believed that one day the Messiah would come to rescue them from their suffering and trials. They were certain that God would not fail them and that he would never forsake them. Though the timing was not what they would have preferred, Jesus birth was the fulfillment of their faith. Even though you cannot see Jesus presence in your life at the moment, keep faith and believe he will come through... he is faithful.
Sometimes all we have is hope. Romans says that alone is worth celebrating. If we find ourselves in a troubled time, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us the gift of hope. Its never too late for things to turn around. So, we remain patient and prayerful that Immanuel, God with us, will come through.
The story of Joseph demonstrates that God can take our pain and struggles and use them for our good. Your suffering can bring glory to God.
As Joseph is reunited with his brothers, he makes a choice to forgive. We are to forgive others just as God has forgiven us.
Joseph faces temptation, but overcomes. As we battle temptations, we must remember that God is with us and that he is faithful to help us stand strong.
Josephs brothers, consumed with anger and resentment at his dreams, sell him to slavetraders heading to Egypt. But God is with Joseph.
Jacob responds to Gods command, encourages his family to submit wholly to God, and receives Gods blessing again.
Jacobs encounter with God produces a new name and a new way of life because he finally comes under Gods authority. We cannot truly encounter God without undergoing massive transformation in our lives.
God did not renege on his promise to Jacob, even though Jacob had to leave his home because of his sins. Jacobs encounter with God reminds us that Gods love is not based on our morality but on his faithfulness.
Gods promise to Rebekah about her children sets the stage for all that he will do in and through the lives and conflicts of Jacob and Esau.
Gods forgiveness shapes how we treat others. We are to live a life of forgiveness, granting and receiving forgiveness through Christ.
The Bible helps us to understand the depth, seriousness, and severity of our sin, and it shows us the fullness of Gods forgiveness.
We can be confident that we are fully forgiven, not because of our own works, but because of Jesus.
God came to seek and save the lost.He calls us to change and to make amends for our past wrongs.
We will never impress God with what we've done, so instead we should approach Him as we really are; sinners in need of help.
God responds to the repentance and return of a lost child with celebration. Gods children are always welcomed back home.
When we reflect on Jesus forgiveness, like the woman in this story, we should be compelled to sacrifice our most precious things in life to Him.
Pastor Duane Detweiler shares a message from 1 Timothy, encouraging us to be intentional about spending time developing our understanding of Jesus.
Jesus has authority over all of creation. He has authority over demons and sickness. He has authority over his followers. And he has the authority to forgive sins.
Gods kingdom is growing. Gods people are growing. And when we live under Gods reign, our impact in the world is growing.
Abram was now 85 years old and still had no child. He and Sarai tried to fulfill Gods plan their own way, but it didnt work.Even when you cant see it, trust the Lords plans for your life.
Gods covenant with Abram foreshadows the price Jesus would pay to cover our sin.You can trust that God will uphold his promise no matter how unfaithful we may be.
Abram and Lot parted ways and Lot pitched his tents near Sodom. This proved deadly for Lot and is a warning for our lives. The choices we make should be based on the wisdom of God, rather than the lure of the world.
Abram left the familiar for the unfamiliar because he knew and trusted God. We too are called to step out in faith and do unfamiliarthings for the kingdom of God.
This morning we incorporate a dramatic reading of the book of Ruth as Pastor John Risner preaches about the power of a mother.
The message today comes from the book of Colossians where Paul encourages us to teach one another in love.
Each believer has a role to play in Gods kingdom. We need each other as we serve the Lord together.
God has sent Jesus to reveal his great salvation for his people once and for all. We must trust in Jesus to save us from our guilt and to purify us from our sin. God is faithful to his promises and we need a fresh passion for the blessings of God.
God loves his covenant with his people, and believers are called to reflect this in the covenant of marriage. We must remain faithful to our marriage covenants as a testimony to the truth about our great God. We need a fresh passion for our spouses.
Gods name is to be revered. We must recognize the love, mercy, and goodness of God toward his people and respond with the honor he deserves. God loves his people with a fierce and jealous love and we need a fresh passion for the name of the Lord.
As humanity begins to fill the earth once again, they continue their rebellion, and so God scatters all the people by confusing their language. Continual sin and rebellion are serious offenses against God.
God is faithful to rescue Noah and his family from the flood. He remembers his people and he keeps his word.
The story of the flood reveals a God who is both holy Judge and gracious Redeemer. Because God is our Redeemer, we can put our confidence in him and in his promises.
As Adam and Eve carry out Gods mandate for the earth, Satan enters the story to entice the couple to humanitys original rebellion against God. When we lose the battle against temptation and sin, God continues to pursue us in his relentless love and always gives us the opportunity to confess and repent.
There is one true God and he is the author of all creation. God brings order, function, and beauty out of the dark, watery chaos by creating a magnificent garden and creating humankind in his image. We are called to reflect the Creators creativity, goodness, and character in the world
Jesus teaches us the importance of creating space to encounter God free from distractions. We are to invite him into our circumstances, our hopes, our fears, our dreams, and our pain.
We're to strive for our worship to be both reverent and filled with rejoicing. In order to do that we're going to have to rethink a few things.
It takes discipline to be a disciple because spiritual growth is intentional, not automatic.
Through the story of Daniel were going to explore what it takes to live a life devoted to God.
The wise men found Jesus and offered him gifts as a sign ofworship. Like the wise men who worshiped Jesus, the presence of Christ should compel us to offer our lives as gifts to God. Have you received Gods good gift of salvation?
No matter how hard he tried, Herod could not halt the plans of God. Despite the difficult circumstances that come your way, know that nothing can separate you from Gods love, forgiveness, and redemption. In an uncertain world, he gives us hope.
Jesus wasnt born into a wealthy family with powerful connections; the situation was awkward at best. His earthly parents were a teenage girl and her middle to lower-class fianc. Your life, family, or situation might not be ideal, but dont worry, the nativity story teaches us that God can use all for his glory.
Immanuel means God with us. We have a God who dares to come near to us in our time of need. When we suffer the hard things of this life, sometimes God feels aloof, but the birth of Jesus reminds us he chose to come near to us in our hurts and struggles.
Give generously to God and his purposes. When we give generously to God he will not only take care of your needs but will also take care of others through you. As Paul concludes his letter, he once again discusses practical ways not to let circumstances take away our joy.
Dont allow anxiety to steal your joy! When times get tough, dont let stress create a rift between you and God. Set your mind on Christ and allow the peace of God to rule in your heart.
Paul made his goal to glorify God in all things, and he said he hadnt even accomplished it yet. Keeping a heavenly perspective will help us keep this same goal as our pursuit. We are citizens fo heaven, therefore, we are to live our lives as a reflection of the kingdom of God on earth and work together for the advancement of the gospel.
We cant earn salvation; it comes only though faith in Jesus Christ. Ultimate joy is found only in Jesus.
Live the kind of life that will make others want to follow Jesus. We all must live out the light of Jesus in our daily lives. Sharing the story of Jesus requires selflessness, sacrifice, and teamwork.
Joy is maximized when we love one another well, and Jesus modeled humility as the way to do so. Following the example of Jesus, we pour ourselves out for others.
Just as Jesus was filled with great joy, God desires our lives as his children to be filled with that same joya joy that surpasses the trials and hardships of life.
God will use every opportunity - good or bad - to spread the message of Jesus. Rather than bemoaning our circumstances, we should rejoice that God can use them to share the light of Christ.
As Paul begins his letter, he shares his joy for the church, that we find joy in experiencing Gods unearned forgiveness. Nothing will stop the Lord from finishing what he has already started in our lives. Gods grace fills our hearts with joy.
Comfort can be good, but comfort becomes a problem when it is seen not as a gift but a goal. Then it becomes an idol. We are not to purse a life of comfort, but we are to live out our calling as people sent by Christ.
We are not wired for isolationbut are sent into the world to cultivate relationships. There are more opportunities than ever to bless the people and places around us. We are laser focused on living out our mission in this region.
We are not spiritual consumers; we are spiritual contributors. The church does not exist for us, we exist for the world. God has sent us to share the life-giving power of Jesus with others.
Josh Ware, Pastor of the Fredericksburg Church of Christ, brings our message this morning from Luke 15. The service was planned to be outside, but rain moved us back into the church. Each year the churches of Fredericksburg partner to provide this community service.
A parent's greatest joy is that their children walk in the truth and follow Jesus. In the same way, God's greatest joy is to see His children walking in truth. The Lord wants to use each one of us as a godly influence in the lives of others. Who has God put in your life and in what ways are you having an impact?
Hold fast to Christ. He will hold fast to you! Watch out for false teaching. Choose godly influences. Press on!
We dont have to play a guessing game when it comes our our salvation; God grants us the understanding necessary to grasp our relationship with him and the world.
We must love others by being willing to lay down our comforts, our security, and even our own lives for themjust like Jesus.
While there are many philosophies that teach otherwise, its important to stand firm on the belief that Jesus is the only way to salvation.
If we truly know God then we should grow in God. Today's message from 1 John 2 challenges us to live as Jesus lived. This means loving others and growing in Christlikeness.
God is light and when we walk with him we shine brightly as we enjoy fellowship with one another, celebrate his work in our lives, and proclaim him to those in darkness.
Jesus told us to make disciples, which requires love and relationship with the body of Christ, as well as with the world around us. We can live a godly life with help from the pastoral teaching of the letters, and in the process we can learn how important love for our neighbors is.
God reveals his wisdom to humanity through a variety of creative forms, so we can make decisions in a way that pleases him. When we need guidance or help with decision-making, or are experiencing suffering, we can use the poetic books to learn how to live wisely.
God shows his faithfulness to his word given to Israel by blessing and judging them based on their loyalty to or rebellion from him. We can use the Historical Books to understand Gods faithfulness, his loving discipline, and how our obedience to him can draw others to faith.
We can understand the will and desires of God for his people because he reveals himself to humanity through creation, the Law, and relationships within the Pentateuch. In response to Gods holiness, faithfulness to his people, and his work as Creator, we should offer him our complete and undivided love.
One of the hardest things we have to do is to decern what things matter and what things matter most. Isaiah 58:11 reminds us that the Lord will satisfy every need. Sit at his feet.
Even after we have been wronged we can show love and grace to others. When we have conflict with others, Christ calls us to choose forgiveness.
We have broken relationships because we are broken people, but God puts broken things back together! All people are valuable in God's sight and can be reconciled to him through Christ.
Jesus is the promised Savior of the world, and his resurrection is the evidence of that.
Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem set the stage for his crucifixion and resurrection by declaring him Savior of both Israel and the world.
Living for Christ requires sacrifice, but we must remain steadfast in our calling despite the difficulty.
When we are in our lowest moments and face doubts, we can take them to Jesus, who will respond to us in compassion. Be open with God about your doubts, and share them with trusted Christian friends who can offer prayer and support.
John the Baptist is not the Christ; rather, he is the one who declares the arrival of Christ the Bridegroom.
Like John the Baptist, the most important aspect of our life should be that its pointed to Jesus. Whatever you do, make sure you point others to Jesus, not yourself.
God called John to a specific purposebefore birth and before he could qualify himself for the taskand he calls us to spread his story of salvation to the world. Dont be scared to follow Gods calling on your life; if hes called you to it, he will provide the strength for you to do it.
MCA's online service for Sunday morning February 27, 2022. This week we wrapped up the 2022 Seminar for Growth during our in-house service. Due to the sensitive nature of that service, we were not able to stream it to our online audience. We did, however, pre-record a special service for our online viewers. We hope you can be encouraged by this message from Colossians chapter 3.
This is our third week in the Walking In Faith Seminar for Growth. Today we hear a testimony from Troy Majzer, who is a local family man, driver and follower of Jesus.
This morning we have a special guest speaker, Ivan Miller, as part of our February Seminar for Growth. Ivan will be sharing stories of faithfullness.
This message is the first of four weeks where we will focus on faith and stories of God's Faithfulness in our lives.
In light of Gods grace, we strive to live peacefully, graciously, and civilly toward all. We must not fear being cancelled by the world, but instead live faithfully for the Lord and allow our lives to reflect Jesus.
The road to restoration must include confession. This means we take responsibility for our wrongs and seek forgiveness when we fail. True repentance is turning from sin and being humble enough to accept the consequences. God restores the humble heart to right relationship with him.
Main Idea of the Message: Sin within the church needs to be dealt with, not ignored. Being accountable to a loving community of believers gives us a safety net to mess up, learn, and course-correct on our faith journey.
Dealing with our own issues is a prerequisite to dealing with the issues of others. When we focus on putting off the old and putting on the new - in Christ - we are better equipped to see the image of God in others and to seek their repentance and restoration rather than ruin.
God has given his people the joyful task of actively remembering what he has done for and through us. At the start of this new year we are taking the opportunity to celebrate, give thanks, and reflect on 2021. We have been changed in the past year by Gods grace, in both challenging and joyful ways; remembering these things will empower us to move forward.
The birth of Christ means that we have a rescuer. Jesus was born to die in our place as a substitute. He paid the price of sin and death. He entered into our desperation with the promise of rescue. He was born in the manger in order to go to the cross and now offers us the free gift of salvation. Will you choose Jesus as your Savior?
The birth of Christ means God has entered into our world. He is with us, even when we're at our lowest point. He's with you through the pain. He comforts you in the waiting. When you're anxious about your future, he gives you courage. Will you call on Jesus to be with you?
Jesus brings peace to those who trust him. The birth of Christ means that peace has entered into a chaotic world. He brings hope into our struggle and brings calm into the chaos. Will you give your anxiety to Jesus?
The birth of Christ means that light has entered into a dark world. He shines on all people and gives strength walk through dark times. Will you let Jesus light the way for your life?
While judgement is guaranteed for all the nations, God promises to bring healing and restoration. His judgement will not be terminal for all. Rather, he will rejoice over his people and unite them under his authority. We will never be able to appreciate our current circumstances until we can embrace the long-term goal of God uniting people under his authority through Jesus.
God's authority is global, not simply for Judah alone. Judgement will fall upon all nations and he will "repay" the nations for their wickedness. God's call to repentance is bound to more than his demand for holiness; when our lives are open to God's conviction, we will have a thriving relationship with him.
Judah as a kingdom had either failed to worship God or simply forgotten their relationship with God. Judgment was pending, but there was still a possibility to escape. We cannot assume that because we bear signs of worshipping God, that we truly are doing so. Instead, we must allow God to examine us and then respond as he directs.
God has entrusted to us, and of our willingness to offer him our best. We follow Christ's example when we use our money to serve God, rather than serving our money.
This is the final message from the Seasons sermon series. Even as our career and family life changes, we celebrate that our work on behalf of God's Kingdom does not. We will never stop serving Christ!
Whatever relationship status we find ourselves in, we are called to give glory to God and serve him joyfully. Marriage, parenthood, and singleness provide us different, though equally meaningful ways to glorify God in our daily lives.
Adolescence is a time of energy and immaturity. We grow within the safety of a caring family unit and community as we venture into the world, grapple with our identity, and learn to rely on God's grace.
Childhood is a time of faith formation. We are to equip the next generation by instilling the gospel message. We are to demonstrate the gospel through our attitudes and actions as we live on mission for Jesus.
Our spiritual gifts were intended to build up the body, leading to maturity in ourselves and others, while ultimately glorifying God. When we use our gifts as he has called us to, then we are preparing ourselves to be part of what hes doing.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are intentional and given for the sake of the community of believers. We cannot expect to serve God and one another with our gifts if we don't understand why they exist.
This morning we conclude the Sorrow and Hope sermon series with a final word on obedience through the life of Jeremiah.
Suffering can either lead us to accept God's patient prodding or turn from him out of bitterness.
This morning the three churches of Fredericksburg gathered together for a Community Service. Josh Ware from the Fredericksburg Church of Christ brought our message.
The prophet Jeremiah shared his sorrow with the Lord, yet he placed his hope in the Lord, who's compassion never fails. Listen in as Pastor John Risners shares from Lamentations chapter 3.
When you find yourself crying out because things are so wrong, be encouraged to look to the one who is perfectly right.
We are starting a new sermon series that will study the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations. Listen in as Pastor John Risner shares from the life of the Prophet Jeremiah.
Teams can do amazing things when they work together. God's design for our lives is to journey with other believers as a team. Working together to bring God glory. Listen in as we close out The Games sermon series with a message from Pastor Jeremy Hostetler titled "The Power of Teamwork".
The Bible tells us to "fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called." Sometimes we fight the wrong battles and other times we grow weary. Through Christ we can have victory over the enemy!
This morning we continue in our sermon series "The Games" with a message from Pastor John Risner challenging us to Run with Perseverance. We remember those who finish the race rather than those who start the race. The message this morning calls us to set our attention on Jesus so we do not grow weary. Be inspired by the men and women who have already finished the race.
To run our race for the prize, we must train. This means intentional living and operating under the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus was arrested and falsely charged in an unfair trial. He was sentenced to death and endured the agony of the cross. Listen in as Pastor John Risner shares from Mark chapter 15.

This morning Pastor John Risner preaches from Mark chapter 1. Jesus calls the 12 Disciples to follow him. Will you answer his call? He does not tell us where we are headed...all we are required to do is to follow. He is to be in charge, but the life with Jesus is rich and abundant and full and rewarding.
We should humbly point others to Jesus. Listen in as Pastor John Risner shares from Mark chapter 1.
This is the final sermon in the Relationship Goals sermon series. Listen in as Pastor John Risner shares how the example Jesus provided can help your relationships.
This week our sermon scripture comes from Luke 18, where Jesus provides an example of listening.

Listen in as Pastor John Risner preaches from the book of John and the miracle that Jesus performed to raise Lazarus from the dead.
Habits and Discipline are hard to establish. Too often, we make huge plans, then get overwhelmed by the destination. Often the big changes we dream of come from small purposeful steps. In our relationship with Christ we need to do the same; Take purposeful steps to change ourselves to look more like Jesus.
Changing yourself is difficult. In order for us to grow and mature, change is necessary. Listen in as Pastor Jeremy Hostetler preaches about Change...Doing the Impossible.
We often find ourselves putting off what we need to do and ignoring responsibilities. One figure from the Old Testament who put off his responsibility was King Saul. Listen in as guest speaker Kevin West provides practical teaching from scripture about procrastination.
Change is a part of life; it will either bring us closer to God or take us further away from him. Our love for Jesus will help us follow God in every season of life.
