Psalm 90 – Number Our Days
Series: Psalms
Psalm 90 and Numbers 14:17-23
 
At the end of our lives we often are able to see more clearly the things that truly matter. In this message we wrestle with the challenge of Psalm 90:12, that encourages us to number our days, so we may present the Lord a heart of wisdom.  Will we choose to live for the things that we see as important at the end of our lives, today?

    Psalm 84, Numbers 16:31-32 and 26:10-11, 1 Chronicles 9:17-19  Revelations 21:1-7;22-27
     
    Who are the descendants of Korah and why did they long to be in God's presence? If you don't have something to look forward to in the future, it is easy to allow your present to become hopeless. We have a future hope that can help us to press on through hard situations.

    Psalm 73 – Past Your Doubt
    Series: Psalms
    Psalm 73, I Chronicles 6:31-39, 15:1-2 and 16-17 and 16:4-5 
     
    Why do wicked people prosper, when often bad things happen to good people? In this message, we take a look at a Psalm from Asaph the worship leader. He deals with this very issue and takes us on his journey from believer, to doubter, to wrestler, to one who gets past his pain and is able to worship God. If you are in a place of doubt, God is able to listen to your frustration and take you to a place of victory as well.

    Psalm 63 and 2 Samuel 13 - 18 
     
    King David again writes from a desperate situation and yet he chooses to both trust and praise God in the desert.

    I Chronicles 23:1-6 and Psalm 40 
     
    How can we survive overwhelming situations in life? In Psalm 40 David reveals a posture we can take in our heart that can provide encouragement as we navigate difficult times of life. 
     
    How can I get through this overwhelming situation? 
    • Remember the way God has helped you in your past. (Focus on God's role in your deliverance from past struggles.)
    • Find joy in doing His will today.  (Choose to live for God in the present.) 
    • Trust God with your Future.  (Give the Lord your problems and stop trying to overcome them on your own.)

    Series: Psalms
    II Samuel 11 and 12, Psalms 51 and 32

    Psalm 1 – Delight in God’s ways
    Series: Psalms
    Psalm 1:1-6 and Psalm 2:10-12
     
    The first two psalms can serve as an introduction to all five books that make up Psalms. Psalm 1 provides the Lord's instruction in wisdom and Psalm 2 introduces God's rule over a rebellious world. Both provide a foreshadowing for the need and refuge we can find in the future Messiah, Jesus Christ.  "A godly person is influenced not by unrighteous people, but by their meditation on the Word of God." Doing so will provide both joy for our life and allow you to be fruitful for the Lord.

    Faith and Hope Conclusion – Persevere!
    Hebrews 12:1-3 and Jude 24
     
    All of Hebrews 11 is pointing us to a challenge found in the beginning of Hebrews chapter 12. We can run the race God has marked out for us by looking to those who have gone before us, taking a look at ourselves and fixing our eyes on Jesus. How well are you running the race? What one thing might God be asking you to do, so you can run more completely for him?

    Apr 16, 2017
    Easter Sunday 2017
    Mark 4:13-20, Luke 24:1-9 and 22-47
     
    He is alive and because he lives, we can have life too. In this Easter message we look at how Jesus points to the Old Testament after his resurrection and discuss what it means to have our eyes opened to the truth of Scripture. What is the condition of your heart, and what step might God be asking you to take to deepen your faith with him? 
  • Apr 9, 2017Faith and Hope Part 9 – Rahab
    Apr 9, 2017
    Faith and Hope Part 9 – Rahab
    Hebrews 11:31, Joshua 2 and 6, Matthew 1:5 and Romans 5:1-5
     
    Rahab being saved by faith can be seen as a foreshadowing of how we too can be spared from the justice we deserve (because of our sin) through faith in Jesus' death and resurrection. 
     
     
  • Apr 2, 2017Faith and Hope Part 8 – Jericho
    Apr 2, 2017
    Faith and Hope Part 8 – Jericho
    Hebrews 11:30, Joshua 6:1-5 and Matthew 19:26
     
    The story of Jericho reminds us that God is with us when we face our walls in life. More importantly it is a reminder that because of Christ our victory has already been won. With that knowledge, we too can persevere!

    Faith and Hope Part 7 – Moses
    Scripture used: Matthew 19:26, Luke 1:37, Hebrews 3:1-6 and Hebrews 11:23-29
     
    Moses' life points to an example that we can follow as we persevere in our faith.  Let us choose to: live for the imperishable, by focusing on the invisible, so that God can do the impossible through us. 
  • Mar 12, 2017Faith and Hope Part 6 – Isaac, Jacob and Joseph
    Mar 12, 2017
    Faith and Hope Part 6 – Isaac, Jacob and Joseph
    Hebrews 11:20-22, Genesis 37-50, Exodus 13:17-19, Psalm 105:16-22, Romans 8:26-39
     
    Can you by faith keep walking forward when often you can only see the big picture after you look back?
     
    Are you experiencing a "low point" in your life? Remember that God has not left you in your moment of need but is there to help you walk through it. 
     
     
  • Feb 26, 2017Faith and Hope Part 4 – Noah
    Feb 26, 2017
    Faith and Hope Part 4 – Noah
    Hebrews 11:7, Genesis 6 and 7:16, Proverbs 4:23, II Peter 3:9 and 13-15
     
    God spoke, and Noah obeyed - despite the craziness of the request. God still speaks today, will we choose to obey so He can work?  Just like now was called to build a boat to save his family from the flood; today we are called to build the church to save the lost from the punishment we all deserve. God is being patient so we can live in a way that helps others to come to Him. 
  • Feb 19, 2017Faith and Hope Part 3 – Enoch
    Feb 19, 2017
    Faith and Hope Part 3 – Enoch
    Exodus 34:27-35, Hebrews 4:14-16, 10:21, 11:1-5, Genesis 5:24, Jeremiah 9:23-24, Hebrews 11:5-6, Psalm 24:1-4 and Amos 3:3
     
    Enoch constantly walked intimately with God, Hebrews reveals that this pleased the Lord. Are you walking with God in your life today? Because of Christ we all have direct access to the Throne of grace. What step can you take today to deepen your walk and relationship with the Lord? 
  • Feb 12, 2017Faith and Hope Part 2 – Creation and Abel
    Feb 12, 2017
    Faith and Hope Part 2 – Creation and Abel
    Genesis 1:1, Colossians 1:15-18, Hebrews 11:1-4, Genesis 4:1-10, I John 3:11-19, Hebrews 12:24
     
    In part 2 of this series, we see that the Creator of the Universe is the One we place our faith in and we explore the first of many Old Testament examples of faith. Abel gave his best to God and we too can leave a legacy of faith by doing the same. Abel reveals that faith is an external step of obedience, based on our internal hope and relationship with God. 
     
    Not captured in this recording is our introduction with the children's church group. We asked -  if they found a large bouncy ball in the corn field north of church if they would think 1) someone put it there or 2) it grew there on its own. They all agreed that it would be obvious that someone made it and put it there. The same is true with our universe, it has a creator and we have been created by him for a purpose.

    Faith and Hope
    As we launch into a new series looking at Faith and Hope from the 11th chapter of Hebrews, we used this introductory message to provide us with context. The Hebrews were tempted to turn away from their new found faith in Christ because of the persecution they were facing. The Author encourages them to press on and live by faith. 
     
    In the middle of this weeks message we also utilized Hebrews 10:1-14 as a way to prepare our hearts for communion. A beautiful song, sung by Jane Eiker and Samantha Rose Brody, can be heard as our church family spends time examining our hearts before remembering Christ's sacrifice together.

    Be The Church Part 4 – Serve Others
    Series: Be The Light
    John 21
     
    The account of Peter's public restoration provides a template for our own ministry. To serve Christ we must yield to His will (not rely on our own ability), love Him (by using our gifts to love others), and follow Him wherever He leads us (and keep on following him).

    Be the Light Part 3 – Build Believers
    Series: Be The Light
    John 14-15 
     
    In this message we explore the second part of the mission at Community: to build believers. Our hope is to help our church family learn to show God our love, by obeying this commands. This means we need to equip others to love others well. Our hope is to do this by creating a church who depends on Christ and is regularly spending time in his presence through Word intake and prayer intimacy.
