A message from the series “Unnecessary: Finding Freedom from Unrealistic Expectations.” Pastor Nathan Williams – Doubting God’s love for us leads to a host of unrealistic expectations. We want to find freedom from uncertainty regarding salvation by fixing our gaze on Christ and His work for us from 1 John 2:1-6.
A message from the series “Titus: God’s Plan for a Healthy Church.” Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen – False teachers are not a minor inconvenience, but deadly dangerous to a church family. Therefore, Paul instructs Titus to directly confront, silence, and sharply rebuke the false teachers who’ve made inroads into the churches in Crete. Listen as we learn to address the wolf in the room.
A message from the series “Titus: God\’s Plan for a Healthy Church.” Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen – As we close the list of attributes that help us identify qualified elders, we get to see not just the character of Godly men to imitate – but we get to see the function of Godly leaders in the life of the church.
A message from the series “Titus: God\’s Plan for a Healthy Church.” Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen – God’s list of qualities for every elder aren’t necessarily what we would expect; they aren’t based on a long list of skills or vast experience – the list is first and foremost a description of a life that is lived above reproach. Listen as we study and apply this list.
A message from the series “Titus: God’s Plan for a Healthy Church.” Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen – We are all stewards of the life that God has given us to live.

A message from the series “Titus: God’s Plan for a Healthy Church.” Pastor Ben Tellinghuisen – As we introduce our series in Titus, we will see what it looks like for every church member to help their church grow healthy for their good and the glory of God.
A message from the series “God’s Plan for All Christians: Church Membership.” Pastor Matt Hilbert – Who is in charge of the church? This is a vitally important question and one which Scripture speaks directly to. As we search the Scriptures we’ll see that Christ is the ultimate authority of the church, elders have spiritual
authority over the church, deacons lead in serving the church, and every church member plays a role protecting the purity of the church. We’ll also look at how Scripture advises us to relate to the elders who have authority over us. When a church is governing itself biblically, Christ is honored and the body is well served.
Pastor Tim McKnight – Emphatic warning is provided of the dangers of apostasy. Hebrews teaches us the deadly seriousness of sin, God’s wrath is fearful, and there is no other way to salvation apart from Christ.
