East Bay Calvary Church: Recent Episodes
East Bay Calvary Church
Here you'll find Sunday morning messages from East Bay Calvary Church, located in Traverse City, Michigan. We're dedicated to making MORE + BETTER DISCIPLES — we love Jesus and we love our city, and we're passionate about sharing the hope of the gospel!
So what did Jesus give us all these spiritual leaders for? To equip us – all of us – to build up His body, the people all around us! We've got plenty ahead of us to do, then: to get everyone active, to move to maturity, to watch for what would throw us, to grow up into Christ, and to build this body in love. Let's go!
Paul shows us in Ephesians that when you’re grounded in the gospel, you push—even from prison—for a matching walk that guards our unity with zealous energy, because of our oneness in Christ. So what's your passion for unity look like? Are you quick to cast people aside, or eager to raise others up to walk arm in arm for Jesus? Let's show that unifying energy for what Jesus died to bring together!
Join in listening as Guest Speaker Sean Patrick goes through his sermon 'The Miracle Story of Jesus'. It weaves a simple outline of his life on earth with a call to evangelism born out of Acts 1:8, Matthew 5:14, and Matthew 28:19-20. For the listener, it's a challenge to engage in the work of evangelism.
We love celebrating the things we are passionate about. The challenge is that our hearts are often more captivated by the things of this world than by God himself. As a result, we can miss the joy of authentic worship -- the very purpose for which we were created.
-- it guides our worship-filled relationship with Him! As you dwell on your relationship with our Creator, King, Savior, and Father, let this mindset and worldview bring you into deeper and richer prayer with our God.
on Sundays, but remember why we gather: to celebrate the gospel with God's people in the diversity of God's family! What is your heart rejoicing over and settling on as we come back home on this day of worship?
Has your love for others forgotten the cross? Has your faith in God forgotten to love others? Today we turned to our undivided Savior and found in Jesus both our righteousness and our salvation -- and now we worship God in both faith and action!
How do we embrace that fullness of responding to God in worship? Not in our own power, but in the power of the Holy Spirit, and trusting in the grace of God! May the Spirit guide your responses of belief, joy, contentment, commitment, and relationship with the Lord as you launch into this new week!
God has revealed Himself -- and our worship must burst into words! Rejoice, root, and rehearse what we believe with one another; let your worship overflow into song, prayer, reading, and telling others the good news you have in Jesus!
Do you see God as holy? Do you have the hope that He is making you holy? Then let's worship the Lord in holiness: let's commit to set ourselves apart from this world's distractions and temptations, and to set goals for ourselves to be holy to the Lord. We're glad you came to worship the Lord with us!
Humanity has been chasing after glory, but in the wrong places. When we read God's Word, we find God’s glory in Jesus--and it must result in worship. Church, let's chase after glory! Let's find that glory in Jesus! And let's respond well to that glory in worship this week!
“It would be a shame if people never hear the music of the heavenly Jerusalem because the thunder of our Sinai drowns it out” (George Guthrie). Sunday's passage opens the door to the beautiful celebration before us in heaven – and how to live as people who have RSVP’d to the party!
When we're at our best, we want a coach that will shake us up to do the challenging things that we must to grow! Church--listen up! Hebrews 12:12-17 gives us our Coach's commands to run the race with endurance and to make the most of the Lord’s discipline.
People react in unhelpful ways when we face hardship in the Christian life. We wonder where God is, or what He’s up to, or what went wrong with Him! But God insists on training and correcting us as His children -- and we have to course-correct our minds and hearts even as we endure!
Easter isn’t just for celebrating Jesus and going home; it’s for running the race with Jesus, with endurance, together!
Many people wish for a stronger faith: a faith that sees great things happen, and that doesn’t fail under pressure. If you wish for a stronger, confident, braver faith, take heart from the legacy left by God’s people! Join us this Sunday as we dive into the last section of Hebrews 11. The work of God in them, by their faith in Him, still has further chapters to be written – in us!
As we socially disband and self-isolate, strengthening our faith individually leaves our faith still lacking—less whole than God meant for it to be. But have you noticed that even an extraordinary man like Moses committed himself to the shared faith of God’s people? We're combining last week's snowed-out message with this week's verses, walking through Hebrews 11:23-31 – and it will be great to see everyone gather again in worship this Sunday!
Time and again, older generations can get cynical about younger generations … particularly when they lose sight of God’s promises. But when a generation knows God's promises for those that are to come? A renewed faith in God’s promises brings fresh faith in God’s work for future generations! We'll take a fresh look at the forward-looking faith of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph this Sunday in Hebrews 11:17-22 – and we can't wait to see you!
great saints” of the Bible, and they feel WAY beyond our ability to connect with them. But these people found favor with God the only way it comes to any of us: by faith! Walk with us through Hebrews 11:4-7 this Sunday as we look back at Abel, Enoch, and Noah: commended and called righteous by God, by faith.
We're starting a new series in Hebrews 11 this Sunday, picking up where we'd left off last year, to dive deep into the lives of people who left us examples of how to walk by faith – jump in with us and invite someone to join you! We’re not meant just to know about Jesus; we’re meant to live for Him, and live WELL for Him! To live Christian lives that will get through hard times AND please God, we’ve gotta learn to live by faith.
Have you ever gotten excited about a gift and forgotten to appreciate the giver? Ever sneak a gift to open before its time? We sometimes rush to what Jesus has to give us without resting in what He came to accomplish. But this Sunday, in Matthew 3:13-17, don't rush past Jesus’ work for our salvation—what Jesus came to do, how He came to do it, and why He came to do it. See you Sunday!
When people come to meet Jesus, He's not always what they expect – yet He's far better! How about for the church? God created His church; do people find in us, at East Bay, what He intended? Our VISION SUNDAY Service will help springboard us into the rest of the year ahead, drawing us into God's call to Be the Church as He means for us to be in His Word. We're eager for you to dive into this call with us!
The flesh, the world, and the devil all work to distract us from preparing the way for Jesus in our lives – and in others’ lives through us. As we gather this Sunday and apply Matthew 3:1-12 in our lives, let's prepare the way for Jesus – in our own lives, and for others – the way that John the Baptist did.
We can struggle to connect with and trust in people who don’t understand hardship like we’ve been through. But our Savior can walk with us in our hardship as someone who has known trials––from his earliest days. We're walking through Matthew 2:13-23 this Sunday; may this message bring special encouragement to those carrying heavy burdens into the new year.
Let's not ignore the foundation of God's promises that Jesus came to stand on! With Matthew's Gospel, the Bible introduces Jesus as the long-awaited, much-anticipated Fulfiller of God’s promises. We're excited for you to join us this Sunday as we look to Jesus together in Matthew 1:1-17.
Join me as I catch up with Ken Bowman and talk through with him what has been going on in his Jesus and Salvation class. Ken talks about the deeper thoughts and questions that have come to be, and why he is excited about what may be to come next for winter equip classes!

Welcome back to Catching Up! In week 2 we caught up with Pastor Reist, and what is going on in his New Testament class. Join me as I get some insight on whats going on and what is coming next for an Equip Class starting in January!
... and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'
There's great news! God can use – and has used – unlikely and unexpected people to fulfill His promises to save! Join us in Genesis 11:10–12:3 for the transition from the ancient world to a wonderful stage of God's salvation story with Abra(ha)m. God is always faithful to save!
Join me as I Catch Up with Pastor Kit Bogan and the Fall Core Course! Pastor Kit fills us in on what the main focus is in the course, some interesting discussions they have had, and what is coming next for the Core Course this winter! Winter Core Course kicks of January 5th at 9:00am, and we hope you will join us!LOVED what you heard? Want to plug in sooner? December 14th is Discover East Bay! Just after our 10:30am service, join us for pizza and part of what is gone over in the Core Course!
with all of our Equip Class Teachers! I am going to be asking them all of the questions, and diving a little deeper into what they are teaching about!
Our inclination in “making our lives count” is often to “make our names great.” With all your life goals before you, you need to decide whose name you want to make great. We're diving into Genesis 11:1-9 this Sunday to learn well from the Tower of Babel – and it will be great to see you again at East Bay.
Think of the many people all around the world: every culture, land, language, and nation. If we ignore all humanity’s origins with God, our thinking about people around the world gets distorted, and sometimes dangerous. But God’s perspective on the peoples of the world--starting in Genesis 10--will reshape our view of them and our role among them. We look forward to taking in this big picture of God's world with you this Sunday!
in this new world! But when we spread the word about other people’s sin, we only sin the more! Instead of spreading the word on sin, let’s learn from Genesis 9:18-29 how to deal with sin itself. We look forward to seeing you Sunday!
If we thought the work was done when the battle against the devil and death and sin ended, and when what’s bad got judged and conquered … then we’ve stopped far short! God’s future salvation is as sure as His future judgment! As we walk through Genesis 8:1-19 together, get ready and get excited about what’s yet to come!
If we don’t think God is serious about judging sin, or the eternal conscious punishment of hell, we blow off and ignore God and His warnings. We may even adjust what we believe so the future isn’t so important anyways! But when we reach Genesis 7–still pretty early in the Bible–God doesn’t bluff about His coming judgment. We need to know that we will be saved from His judgment—by Him. It's a serious topic, an important one to prepare our ears to hear and our hearts to receive. Looking forward to seeing you Sunday, church family!
When our world around us is desperately distant from God, people don’t understand the first thing about what the alternative, living for God, is meant to be. But in another era of spiritual darkness, in Genesis 6:9-22, we get our first long look at someone really following God--and it maps out for us what living for God looks like. Let's offer a new way of life to those around us, and let's live into it by the Spirit's power in us! See you this Sunday!
Which do we need to remember more: the reality of death? or the reality of hope? In Genesis 5, God establishes that we can’t avoid death--only to inspire hope that we might avoid it after all! We look forward to sharing God's good news and learning to walk with God together with you this Sunday.
When our attention to people becomes earthbound, centered on skills and accomplishments, we stop seeing their need for a Savior. We need to renew our focus on our shared problem of sin – and our need for the LORD to save us! Get ready to receive Genesis 4:17-26 with us this Sunday morning, and to see one another through the lens of God's promise.
Seeing our sin is a difficult, essential step for each of us to take. But once we recognize our problem of sin, we don’t actually solve it; we all tend to make it worse! This sin pattern shows up right after Adam and Eve, and only God can break us out of it. We look forward to walking through the story of Cain and Abel with you in Genesis 4:1-16 this Sunday. Let's take hold of God's good news to deliver us from our sin!
What does a perfect world look like? It’s hard to agree on a perfect solution to the world’s problems when we don’t agree on what the perfect result should be! This Sunday, we'll take a long look at God’s perfect design for us in the beginning, in Genesis 2:4-25––and celebrate our good God Who made us to be close to Him!

Of all of creation, it's humanity that's capable of asking--and burdened by wondering--“Why are we here?” But in the first chapter of the Bible, we celebrate that God answers this question in an amazing way, and beyond what we could ever expect! Join us in Genesis 1:26-31 this Sunday, and bring the great news of God's purpose and worth to those around you!
When Christian community falls short of what it has been and could be, we want to restore it! But we often try to get it back to what it was the wrong way. Healthy Christian community comes to us, not as the goal of our gathering, but as the overflow of faith in Jesus lived out together. Dive into this wonderful snapshot of the early church in Acts 2:42-47!

"What shall we do?"––how do we respond once we hear and understand the good news of the Gospel? We're delighted to welcome Pastor Altin Zefi back to East Bay Calvary Church, visiting from his overseas service in Albania, to bring God's Word to us from Acts 2:37-41.
Pastor Kit leads the church in prayer after the recent tragedy at the Walmart in Traverse City.
Many of us have had "mountaintop experiences," moments of meaningful spiritual connection that leave us forever changed. But after major spiritual experiences, we don’t always know how to follow through with it—and we fail to connect it to Jesus. But Peter showed how to make that clear, compelling connection between our experience of the Spirit and the GREAT news we have in Jesus! Join us in Acts 2:14-36 as we beat a trail from what we feel to Who Jesus is!
As we celebrate, let's get excited about the church and about the Spirit – but let's not miss the point of both of them. When the Holy Spirit empowers His people, we’ve got to use His power for His purpose! Walk with us in God's Word in Acts 2:1-13 to see what God wants when He gives the Spirit to the church.
Pastor Kendale Dennis shares a message from Psalm 78 at our 75th Anniversary gathering on Saturday night, July 12, 2025.
The capacity of Christian leaders for horrible sin seems to threaten Jesus’ plan to empower and send us once He’s gone. What do we do when even Jesus’ closest followers can fall so far from walking with God? We'll find hope as we read Acts 1:12-26.
When our attention drifts, we refocus ourselves on what we expect to come next. But when it comes to the mission we have from Jesus, when our attention drifts, we depend on each other to refocus us on what Jesus called us to do! We're pressing onward in Acts 1:6-11 this Sunday.
Jesus' work in this world is far from over! The mission of Jesus continues––but many people don’t know that He meant for it to keep going in us. Others are trying to carry it on in our own strength. But Jesus wants us to carry on His mission––in the power that God the Father promises us. We're looking forward to jumping into Acts 1:1-5 with you in our new series, How the Church Got Started!
In our worry about the future or ambition for it, we often focus, not on worthless things, but things that are worth less. To plan well for the future, however old we are, we've got to set a higher value on what lasts for eternity. Let's look at how we can apply 1 Corinthians 13:8–14:1 to our lives together.
How can so many people be so different at defining something so important as LOVE? In the end, the Author of life is the Author of love. He calls us to surrender our definitions and expectations about love so that we can accept His. We're looking forward to digging into 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 together!
Our next short series of messages in 1 Corinthians 13 anchors us in the essential need for love in the Christian life. Have you noticed when church people get caught up in religious “stuff,” we often veer away from the Spirit-filled, Jesus-following lives God wants us to live? Let's break the idea that anything we do as a church (and anywhere else in life, for that matter), matters one bit without living by love.
What do you do when ongoing struggles make you doubt whether you want to press on in following Jesus? Remember that endurance you had when you first came to Jesus–remember it, reclaim it, and press on in it! We're excited for you to join us for our last message in Hebrews (10:32-39)!
Wanna know what breaks a Christian mother's heart? When those they love walk away from Jesus: whether it's to please other people around them, to avoid hardship, or deliberately rejecting Him to follow another way. We're moving forward in Hebrews 10:26-31 this Sunday, from the right response to all God planned for us to the danger of rejecting His plan to save us. Don’t keep anyone––including moms––worrying about your eternal destiny! We have got to accept God’s plan! That's the big picture this Sunday morning.
Time to put it all together! We've been watching how God set up the who, how, where, what, and when of our salvation -- and this week, it's all coming together in how we live. Pastor Reist is preaching Hebrews 10:19-25 … and you know that part in Hebrews about "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together"? That's what he's preaching!
We're pressing on in Hebrews together this Sunday, especially thinking about how many people have abandoned religion out of frustration, too tired of keep trying to make up for their sins to God on their own. But Jesus broke that frustrating cycle that we could never get ourselves out of to finally, fully, truly take away our sin! We hope you'll join us for a once-for-all message of hope in Jesus from Hebrews 9:23–10:18!
Jesus' death and resurrection change everything – and on this Easter Sunday we look at how His sacrifice set a new and better plan for our lives into motion.Pastor Kit looks at Hebrews 9:11-22.
God realized the broken agreement we had with Him before we realized it. But we ALSO tend not to realize that Jesus already brokered a better deal between us, too! Click below, open your Bible with us to Hebrews 8, and see the better promises that Jesus has now guaranteed for us!
The law given to the Israelites in the Old Testament was a good thing, in its time – but when Jesus came, He instituted a systemic change to the priesthood that we'd be wise to grab hold of.We continue our study in Hebrews as Pastor Kit looks at Hebrews 7:11-28.
This week we take a deep dive into the mysterious character Melchizedek, how he relates to Abraham, what that has to do with Jesus, and, most importantly, what it all means for our faith.Pastor Kit looks at Hebrews 7:1-10 as we continue our study in Hebrews.
We all make and receive promises. Unfortunately, we are prone to break them – but God is not. And today, we discover how His biggest and best promise to us is fulfilled in Jesus.Pastor Kit looks at Hebrews 6:13-20 as we continue our series, "Even Better."
As we continue to study the book of Hebrews, our passage of Scripture today contains an important warning – one we won't want to miss or take lightly.Pastor Kit looks at Hebrews 6:4-12.
To be able to approach God's throne with boldness and confidence – this is the privilege we have because of Jesus, our High Priest. What should that mean for our daily lives? Our prayer lives?Pastor Kit looks at Hebrews 4:14-5:10 as we discover that Jesus is the ultimate and best High Priest.
We all start out as "baby" Christians in our faith – but we have absolutely no excuse for staying there. So what does it look like to "grow up" in our walk with God?Pastor Kit opens the Bible to Hebrews 5:11-6:3 as we read an exhortation to mature as believers in Christ.
Rest can be hard to find. The Bible tells us to rest, but what does that look like amidst all the obligations of our daily lives?Pastor Kit looks at Hebrews 4:1-13 to discuss what it means to enter the rest that Jesus offers.
It's incredibly easy to slip into the habit of unbelief – wondering if God really is able to do this, if He really is who He says He is. So how can we prevent this?Pastor Kit looks at Hebrews 3:7-19 as we discover the importance of encouraging and exhorting one another in our faith.
When we look at the "heroes" of Scripture, Moses stands out as an incredibly faithful servant of God. But we see in Hebrews that Jesus was an even greater hero than Moses – one whose example we ought to follow closely.Pastor Kit heads to Hebrews 3:1-6 as we continue our study in Hebrews.
Having a game plan is one of the best ways to keep motivated and keep on mission! Pastor Kit calls us to 4 key pursuits in 2025 as we look forward to seeing God work both at East Bay and in Traverse City this year.
As we continue our series in Hebrews, we find over and over that Jesus is better – a better savior, a better priest, a better brother – than we could ever have hoped for.Pastor Reist opens the Bible to Hebrews 2:10-18 to dig deeper into what this means.
As we struggle with sin and our own imperfections, it's encouraging to remember that God has had a plan to redeem us from the beginning of time – a plan that was fulfilled in Jesus, and not our own attempts to redeem ourselves.Pastor Kit continues our series in Hebrews with a look at Hebrews 2:5-9.
At this time of year, we often make plans and set goals to ensure the coming year will be a great one. But what plans are you making to stay close to Jesus – to make sure you're not slowly drifting away from Him and what He's called you to?Pastor Kit continues our study in Hebrews with a look at Hebrews 2:1-4.
Pastor Kit begins a new series in the book of Hebrews, where we'll look at how Jesus is better than prophets, angels, and every other way we might try to reach God – and how our lives should change because of it.
Pastor Kit wraps up our series "You Belong Here" with a look at Mary's song of praise in Luke 1:46-55, asking what it might look like in our own lives to have a grateful humility and hunger for God like Mary did so many years ago.
Sometimes, God asks us to take a step of faith and simply trust Him – and when we take Him at His Word, we find that His plans and ways are greater than we could have imagined.Pastor Kit looks at a fantastic example of this in the account of Mary receiving the news that she would give birth to God's Son, found in Luke 1:26-38.
In Luke 18:18-30, a wealthy young man asked Jesus what he needed to do to have eternal life, and Jesus' response was shocking. Pastor Kit discusses why Jesus asks us to give up everything for Him – and why it's the best decision we can ever make.
Jesus said that the kingdom of God belongs to kids, not just adults. What does living out this truth look like?We learn that helping kids to know Jesus shows how well we understand the kingdom of God as Pastor Kit looks at Luke 18:15-17.
We don't tend to relate ourselves to the character Scrooge, but does how we actually use our wealth incriminate us? Do we pinch pennies instead of giving to those around us who truly need it?Pastor Kit looks at the story of the rich man and Lazarus found in Luke 16:19-31 as we discover what the Bible says about giving of what we have, and whether it shows your faith to be dead or living.
Our guest speaker this week is Sean Patrick, president of Finish Line Ministries International, who we're proud to partner with in advancing the gospel in Southeast Africa.Sean shares a brief missions update, then continues our current sermon series with a look at Luke 18:35-43.
Have you ever had "testimony envy"? Just a tinge – or more – of jealousy for all the attention someone else gets for their radical turn from sin, when you've always obeyed God?Pastor Kit looks at a story we all know, but from another character's perspective in Luke 15:25-32, as we see how deep the Father's love goes for all His children.
How far is too far? When does a case become hopeless – so far gone that God doesn't welcome you back?Pastor Kit looks at Luke 15:11-24, where we find that no one is ever "too far gone" for our God.
In this special Installation Service, Knute Larson – a mentor to Pastor Kit – reminds us of the centrality of the gospel to church life, as we officially welcome Pastor Kit to ministry here at East Bay.
We all have stories about losing something precious and the lengths we went to in finding it. God also seeks the lost – and great is His rejoicing when He finds them!Pastor Kit opens the Word to Luke 15:1-10 to examine Jesus' parables about lost things, and what this means in our own lives.
Is Jesus on your "maybe later" list? Perhaps you'll check out what He's all about when you have a little more time, or you're hoping maybe you're already on His good list.Pastor Kit looks at a parable Jesus tells in Luke 14:12-24 that reminds us of the urgency – and beauty – of accepting His invite today.
If you're born to generations of Christians, is that enough to get into heaven? What if you attend church and check off all the religious boxes?Pastor Kit looks at Jesus' words in Luke 13:22-30 and what it means to "strive" for the kingdom of God.
We say we're ready to follow Jesus, "no turning back." But when that comes up against our deeply-seated devotions to family, work, and other aspects of our life, what does it look like to really follow Jesus without looking back?Pastor Kit takes us to Luke 9:57-62 to explore how Jesus' call to total devotion to Himself may just be the most satisfying decision we can make.
Can Jesus forgive me despite my messed-up past? Am I too far gone for His love?This week we meet another character that interacted with Jesus, this time in Luke 7:36-50, who reminds us that Jesus' forgiveness reaches far beyond the bounds of what we expect or deserve.
We grumble about people a lot – and convince ourselves we have a good reason. But do we?Pastor Kit looks at Luke 5:27-32 as we remember how desperately all of us need Jesus' love and forgiveness, and how that should impact our view of those around us.
Pastor Kit begins a sermon series based on a familiar phrase – "You Belong Here."

On this Palm Sunday, Pastor Brian begins a short Easter series he has entitled "Set Free." This week, we turn to Galatians 5 to see what being set free by Jesus really looks like in our lives.

This morning, Pastor Reist looks at what Scripture says about fear as he discusses one fear in particular: the fear of man.
"When God says 'no,' there may not be any sin involved, but there’s always His sovereignty involved."

Learn more about Bear Man Ministries at thebearman.com

In Philippians 1, Paul talks about a "partnership in the gospel" we have with fellow believers, but what does this mean? What did it look like in Paul's day, and what should it look like today? Pastor Brian goes to Acts to look at two of the very first partners in the gospel.
What we think are detours are God's destinations. This week, Pastor Brian looks at Paul's missionary journeys as well as his words in Philippians to see how God's plans are always better than ours.
What’s the most important thing you can do in 2022? Jesus was asked by a teacher of the law what the greatest commandment is, and Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength. And the second is like it… to love your neighbor as yourself.”
If this was Jesus’ answer, it should be our answer too. This week Pastor Brian takes a look at the passage Jesus quoted to see what we can apply to our own lives in 2022.
Our greatest need was met through Jesus: peace with God. This week, as Christmas Day draws closer, Pastor Brian goes to Matthew 1 to look at how Jesus brings us the salvation and redemption we so desperately need.

"Our true spirituality is tested by what we do when our adversary is vulnerable." This week, Pastor Brian takes us to 1 Samuel 23-24 to look at what David did when Saul, his enemy, was in a vulnerable position — and what God wants us to do when our own adversaries are vulnerable.
We all face times when things are looking down, and we’re tempted to think “if only.” This week, Pastor Brian takes us to an example of David in 1 Samuel 22 and Psalm 52 to show us how God wants us to turn our “if only” into “only God.”
Rest. Doesn’t that sound like such a good thing? Yet we seem to struggle so much with it. This week, PR takes us to Matthew 11:28-30, where we see the new perspective on rest that Jesus offers.
We all find ourselves in a "cave experience" from time to time. This week we look at what God did through David's life during his time in a cave. What does God want to do in YOUR cave?

What does it mean to have a true friend? This week, Pastor Brian looks at the friendship between Jonathan and David and applies these lessons to our own relationships.
We’ve been learning that God sees things differently than we do — and we tend to let too much get in the way of seeing things His way. This week, Pastor Brian talks about what can eclipse our faith in God.
Through David's story, we've been learning that God sees things differently than we do. How do we need to adjust the way we view the world in order to view it like Jesus does? Pastor Brian takes us to 1 Samuel 17 to talk about it.

In this message, subtitled "Natural Disciplemaking," Pastor Brian looks at the Great Commission as found in Matthew 28:16-20.
“I’m full of pain.” Because we live in a fallen world, that’s a phrase many can relate to. However, Romans 8 reminds us that there is purpose in our pain — which is the subject of guest speaker Ken Rudolph’s message this week.
"When you don't believe that you are lost you cannot be found."
Pastor Jonathan Mast speaks on Matthew 9:9-17 this week, taking a look at Jesus not as a friend of the righteous and perfect but as a friend of sinners. How can we reach the lost like Jesus did? And have we humbled ourselves in recognition of our desperate need for Him?

How is fruit different than works? Pastor Brian looks at the first three fruits of the Spirit this week, with some helpful application points to guide us in whether we need to more closely examine the fruit in our lives.
We are always filled with something. And as fallen creatures, we have a natural inclination towards being filled with desires that aren’t pleasing to God.
