Pastor Bill Gowder: Jeremiah 12:1-7. Jeremiahs testimony is one to be coveted. As you read more and more about his life, you see the turmoil and hard circumstances he walks and lives through. As he does so, he draws closer and closer to God.
Pastor Drew Elgersma: Acts 21:27-22:23. Paul is dragged out of the temple, lies levied against him, and his breath nearly taken from his lungs as he is beat death by a hostile horde of Jews. Through it all Paul responds with a heart attitude filled by respect, peace, unwavering faith in God’s sovereignty, and a burning passion for lost souls and God’s glory.
Pastor Bill Gowder: 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 and 2 Corinthians 1:8-11; 4:5-7; 12:7-10
Pastor Drew Elgersma: Acts 17:16-34. Paul stands before an astute gathering of Athenian intellectuals and establishes six attributes of the “unknown” God to a lost and “knowing” world. He does so by starting at creation and moving through the bible storyline.
Pastor Bill Gowder: Acts 17. Paul preaches to the churches in Thessalonica and Berea. A contrast of one church repelling the gospel, while the other trusts, but verifies.
Pastor Drew Elgersma: Acts 16:14-34. One of the beauty's of this passage is the simplicity of the gospel being proclaimed and the lives that are transformed by the power of the gospel. The gospel transforms 3 different lives through three different perspectives, intellectual, spiritual, and moral. All of this shows the kaleidoscope of people the gospel has pulled together from darkness to life for His glory!
Pastor Bill Gowder: Matthew 2:1-8. We all have eyes to see physically, but are our eyes seeing as God's eyes do, for the Gospel? .
Pastor Drew Elgersma: Luke 10:38-42. In a world full of delightful distractions and details, it's all too easy to miss Jesus during Christmas.
Pastor Bill Gowder: Acts 13:4-13; 14:8-19 Ministry and the advancing the gospel is physically, spiritually, relationally and emotionally exhausting. But the redemption of man kind is worth it!
