Introduction Have you ever heard of a laughing heir? I’m not talking about laughing gas, I’m talking about when someone gets a call from a lawyer saying, “your rich uncle passed away and left you all his money!” It’s when you didn’t realize you would inherit something, but suddenly someone tells you…
Preface Today we are doing a special joint service between Clark Fork and Bonners Ferry. So, I want to welcome all those who are watching our live-stream, but especially the Clark Fork church. I’m sure Shanon’s special music was delightful. If Everett and Casey are there, I’m looking to you two to keep…
Introduction So far in Daniel’s Story I’ve retold historical events. They have been stories that illustrate the relationship God has with His faithful people in times of crisis. There were stories that showed the grace of God in pursuing the hearts of pagan kings. They were stories that demonstrated…
Introduction When people feel like they are under attack they usually do one of two things: they fight their way out, or they run away. Personally, I believe that we are living at the fringe of eternity. Soon Jesus will come soon. , but just before that happens the Bible describes some challenging events.…
Four young, intelligent, attractive men were picked out from the streets of Jerusalem to become the first of the exiles from Jerusalem to Babylon. What does the story of Daniel and his friends teach us about God, and about his plan for us?
Next week we’re going to begin the first two parts of an intermittent series I’m calling, Sanctuary Light. A friend of mine, Nicole Parker, wrote a book by this title that she says is for “children of all ages.” Like the book, we’re going to explore the story of the sanctuary and how the various services…
Recap In 1 John chapter 1, John introduced a significant problem and a glorious possibility. The problem is that God is light and you and I live in darkness. The possibility is that, if we confess our sins, Jesus will forgive and cleanse us, and we will be able to have fellowship with God and with God’s…
Introduction You know that moment when you realize that something is off? It’s when everyone’s attention is on You, like when you present a report at school, or when you‘re getting together with friends.

In the second part of the Walking with God series, Jason tackles the questions, "does God respond when I pray?" and "how can I hear the voice of God?"
This sermon begins a four part series on how to experience authentic faith called Walking With God. Through the story of Abraham we discover several key aspects of an intimate walk with God.
In our world the rich get richer and the poor don’t seem to have a chance, but God designed an economy for the Israelites that would ensure everyone has a fair share and can enjoy the fruit of their own labor. In this sermon Jason explores some of the principles of the Year of Jubilee and applies them to the Christian experience in an economy that is so different from what God designed.
In a world filled with abusive relationship and abusive employers, Peter has something to say to Christians about how to deal with abuse. He doesn't tell Christians to lie down and take, it but he does raise their thinking from their present circumstances to the higher calling of glorifying God. Yet, implicit in every statement Peter makes is the enabling freedom of being a child of the king.
This sermon was preached at the Bonners Ferry Adventist Church as an interview sermon while the church was considering hiring Jason as their new pastor. The focus of the message is 1 Peter chapter 1 and the first part of chapter 2 where Peter describes the church as living stones and priests. Jason explores his philosophy of ministry and how he would like to organize a church.
God says that He "won't hold him guiltless" who takes His name in vain. Is God going to severely punish people who use OMG too much? Is swearing even the point of the third command? In this third part of the series, God Wrote Love, Jason explores what it means to live in the spirit as he traces the story of grace through the book of Galatians and responds to the positive side of the third commandment.
Jesus is not only our hope of resurrection in the future but the bread of life to us today
Instead of exploring all the do nots surrounding the 2nd commandment not to make or worship images, this sermon reflects on some of the possibilities this commandment allows. What kind of God is worthy of worship, and why does the Bible say that God made us in his "image?"
Christ "became flesh" is a fundamental teaching of the Bible—something that only heretics deny—but what does it really mean to become flesh and how does Christ's embodiment of humanity really impact my daily life?
God indicates that there will be a remnant—an organized group of His followers—at the end of time that will fit into some specific identifying marks, and that will have a mission in the world. This study will uncover what these identifying marks are, and what church fits the Bible's description.
Before the flood and before Jesus' second Coming there was and will be a final decision each person will need to make—do I get on the ark, do I follow Christ or the beast? This decision is HUGE, but today we're faced with decisions that are no less significant as the Holy Spirit knocks on our hearts door.
In Revelation God prophecies the fall of Babylon, but not the literal Babylon that was destroyed millennia ago and remains in ruins today. In this study Jason will uncover the parallels between the fall of literal Babylon in Daniel 5 and the characteristics of spiritual Babylon in Revelation 13 and 17.
Some suggest that God's grace has changed the nature of creation and the sanctified things that God formerly called an abomination. In this study Jason explores the biblical themes of health and wellness. You'll discover that God sees your body as a holy temple for His Spirit to dwell, and that the Cross has not sanctified that which God has formerly called harmful for our bodies. You'll also discover God's plan for health and wellness.
John did it. Jesus did it. Peter told everyone who wanted to follow Jesus they must do it too. Baptism. What does it mean? Is it required for salvation? What is the biblical method of baptism? Jason answers these questions and more on Buried and Forgotten by God.
Major nations that have interacted with God's people through history have been named in the Bible—Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome—would it make sense for the nation built on biblical principles to be named in the Bible too? Does Bible Prophecy predict the rise and world-changing future of the United States?
Many think the mark of the beast is a chip or a barcode or the magnetic strip on a credit card, and the Devil would love for us to think those things because it distracts from what His real plan is. The issue at the end of time is worship, not the exchange of money. The mark of the beast is a core issue differentiating the worship of the beast and the dragon from the worship of the God of creation.
Who is the antichrist? What entity or person is represented by the beast in Revelation 13? These are the questions that many are confused about, but the Bible has nine, clear marks of identification that can help us uncover the truth in the Bible and in history. Understanding this point will help save you from the results of the 3rd angel's message in Revelation 14:9-10.
Jason talks about the Biblical concept of the soul and death, where the dead are now, and what we can expect for them in the future.
Many believe God is a tyrant worse than any the earth has ever seen—a maniacal torturer who forever recreates the flesh of the wicked as they burn in hell so they can continue to suffer. But the Bible doesn't say that. the Bible reveals a God who is just, who completely eliminates all sin and its traces from the universe, and who mingles mercy with justice.
Why, if the Bible says that the seventh-day is the Sabbath, does Christianity worship and meet together on the first day of the week, Sunday? What happened to change the pattern of Sabbath rest to a culture of Sunday celebration?
In an age where stay-at-home moms feel busy, and career people are constantly tired, overworked, and craving personal and family time, God invites us to rest. A day a week to rejuvenate, build relationships and, most importantly, to honor God.
What hope do we have that there will ever be peace on earth, or in our hearts? There is so much that creates discord that it seems impossible. But God gives us a law of love that, when followed, becomes the building blocks of personal, relational, and even national peace.
How, When, and in what way will Jesus return? Will there be a thousand years of peace with Christ reigning on the earth, or will the wicked be destroyed by the brightness of his coming and the righteous go to meet Him in the air? In this message Jason explores the biblical prophecies about the second coming of Jesus.
The fourth Sabbath in August is the global Adventist church's enditnow emphasis day where we stand up against violence in all forms. Jason Worf shares about verbal abuse in this sermon called "Words that Wound." He addresses victims of abuse, abusers, and compasionate bystanders from Isaiah 58 and the advice of Christian counselors on how to respond to abusive speach.
God designed our world with potential and goodness, then partnered with his creation—mankind—to bring more goodness out of it. They broke that relationship by trying to manage the world on their own terms, and now we are suffering the results. Then God made promises with people like Noah and Abraham and David to try to renew the relationship and partnership he had with mankind. That's all nice and good, but what does that have to do with my everyday life? So what?

The doctrine of the trinity has been hotly debated since the early Christian church. It has been the subject of debates and divisions of the church and even wars between nations. This brief talk confronts the erroneous doctrines of God in three modes (modalism) and Jesus as created being (arianism), and explains the significance of trinitarian theology on salvation.
In this sermon Jason looks back at the basic principles of planting and growth—a system that God designed and after which he modeled the gospels work in our lives. The question of which kind of soil you are gets to the fundamental idea of receptivity. Dirt don't work, but it does have to choose.
Some people look at Enoch's experience of walking with God and then being taken to heaven without dying and they can't see themselves in his experience. Maybe they think he's a giant of faith that they can't possibly imitate, or they think that he lived in a different time and so they can't experience what he experienced. This sermon looks at the story of enoch and reimagines the reasons for God taking him to heaven, and show that God wants to walk with each of us just like he did with Enoch.
In a world with the scientific method and a worldwide, searchable knowledge base we rarely stop to wonder at God and his creation. Even Christ's birth is an intellectually, theologically significant story that we don't often wonder at. Let's take some time to wonder at Christ's birth again.
