Mr. Jack Schrolucke, Elder at First Church of New Knoxville shares a message from John 3:1-15.
Jesus once asked his disciples “Who do you say I am?” They had heard reports of what others thought about Jesus. But Jesus wanted to know what they believed about him. The answer to that question reveals a lot about your faith. Like the disciples, we may hear rumors or reports from others about Jesus. But we must not take our cues from culture or any other preconceived notions we have about Jesus. Our answer must be rooted in Scripture.

Pastor Joel Bucklin and Mr. Terry Wissman share in preaching a message from 2 Timothy 4:1-5
The Global Pandemic of 2020 and COVID-19 Virus may be keeping us physically separated but we are one in the Spirit and our Worship will always continue.
Sabbath is an invitation to rest in order to give our best the rest of the week. Work itself has value and dignity (not a result of the curse). We must allow our faith to inform how we live the other 6 days of the week.
Guest Pastor Kim Katterheinrich shares a message on the dangers of loving the things of this world more than our God.
Sabbath is an invitation to enter into a regular rhythm of work and rest in order to resist the demands of our culture to always be “on”.
Sabbath gives us an opportunity to remember who God is and what he has done for us. This is best achieved through Spiritual Practices such as bible reading, prayer, and journaling, as well as gathering for corporate worship.
The Sabbath is an invitation to rest physically, mentally, and spiritually. Two common errors include ignoring the Sabbath completely by not resting, or miss the point of the Sabbath by focusing too much on the rules. Instead, Jesus invites to rest in him, the Lord of the Sabbath.
As Christians, we belong to Jesus Christ and are loved by God. Jesus is fully God and fully man. Through him, we receive grace according to the Gospel.
Jesus is our peace. He is king and will rule with wisdom, righteousness, and justice. The kingdoms of this world cannot offer real peace. Only Jesus can.
Jesus is our hope. Salvation and new life is found only in him. Therefore, we should treat the hope like a guaranteed promise, rejecting our old way of life and living for Christ.
As children dearly loved by God our Father, we are called to be people of prayer. We should pray with confidence, according to his will, for our brothers and sisters in Christ, and against the power of sin and the enemy
Faith in Christ and love for him is demonstrated through our obedience to him. Obedience is not meant to be a burden, and we share in Christ’s victory over the world.
God is love, which he demonstrates to us by sending Jesus to redeem us, loving us first (while we were still sinners), and giving us his Holy Spirit. The right response to God’s love is to love others like he loves us and to live like Jesus.
It is important for Christians to be able to distinguish between false and faithful teachers. Spiritual discernment litmus test: does the teaching glorify Jesus as Lord or something else? Does it have a godly or worldly perspective?
Loving others like Christ loves us isn’t always easy. It involves responding to hate with love, it requires sacrifice, and to love through our actions, not just our words.
God pours out his love for us in Christ and makes us his children. In response to this great love, God’s children should: remain in him with confidence and boldness (even if the world rejects us), turn away from sin (Jesus breaks the power that sin had in our lives), do what is right (love your neighbor).
False teachers (anti-christs) will come and attempt to lead people astray. Keys to faithful obedience include: acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you in the truth, remain in Christ and his word. People often attempt to find joy/fulfillment in what is counterfeit and temporary. Only a relationship with God through the Holy Spirit will bring real joy.
Put God first. Set aside worldly desires and temptations. They are temporary, but God and his love are eternal.
Believers can be confident of their salvation for several reasons. It’s about what Jesus did, not what we do (on account of his name), salvation comes through relationship with Christ (to know him), Jesus overcame the evil one for us, and God’s word gives us strength.
Fellowship with God leads to two things: obedience to his commands and love for his people.
God is holy. We are not. Our sin disrupts our fellowship with him, but God forgives us in Christ when we repent.
