Jonah | Running From God (pt 1)

Jonah | Part 1 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This week, we will begin a new sermon series in the book of Jonah!

Prepare to examine the life of a prophet who knew the heart of God, heard the call of God, and proceeded to flee from the mission of God for his life. Why did he run? Will he get away? What’s life like when you're running from God?

This Sunday, we will see how far Jonah is willing to go to get away from the call of God. Pray with me that God will have someone attend or tune in this week that has been running from God, that they might learn from the life of Jonah.

Oh My Soul | Soul On Fire (pt 4)

Oh My Soul | Part 4 | Pastor Chris Heller

We trust you have taken the opportunity to check out our Week of Prayer walk-through this past week. So many of you joined us, and we are thankful for your enthusiastic response. We pray it was a meaningful experience that brought nourishment to your soul and encouragement to grow in your personal walk with Jesus.

This Sunday, we will be concluding our Week of Prayer by sharing a review of the week, spending some extra time in prayer, and focusing on the "Soul on Fire" found in Psalm 63.

Oh My Soul | The Bitter Soul (pt 3)

Oh My Soul | Part 3 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

They say emotional wounds are some of the most difficult to overcome.  They can leave wounds that last throughout a lifetime.  Unfortunately, if these wounds are not mended, they can lead to a bitter soul full of jealousy, complaint, and resentment.  

But I have good news! There is healing for the hurting soul, and restoration for the bitter spirit. Join us this week as we continue our week of prayer series, “Oh My Soul”, in Psalm 73.

Oh My Soul | The Angry Soul (pt 2)

Oh My Soul | Part 2 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

There are times in our lives when we can become angry at the evil and suffering that we see around us. We simply do not understand why God would allow some of these horrific acts to occur. In fact, we know that many people struggle deeply with the question, “how could a loving God allow evil and suffering?”  

Sometimes, we can feel like it’s wrong to question God. However, scripture is full of incidences when writers sought answers to their questions rooted beneath their troubled emotions.  

Join us this week as we continue our series “Oh My Soul,” where we'll look at another Psalm (13), and see how David handled his questions about evil and suffering with the God he trusted and loved.

Oh My Soul | The Nourished Soul (pt 1)

Oh My Soul | Part 1 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This Sunday, we will be introducing our new sermon series, “Oh My Soul,” which will lead into our Week of Prayer later this month. In this series we’ll be focusing on our inner man and the need to spiritually nurture our inner soul.
 
Throughout the book of Psalms, David and the other psalmists referred often to the condition of their souls, crying out that their souls are thirsty, weary, troubled, discouraged, clinging to God. During Jesus’ time on earth he asked his followers, “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” (Mark 8:36) He emphasized the possibility of losing our soul to misguided worldly pursuits and earthly gain.
 
In this series, we’ll concentrate on how to study the Word and pray in ways that uplift, fill up, encourage and inspire our souls to long after God. Looking forward to starting this new series together!

Wonder Of Christmas | The Steadfast Servant (pt 3)

Wonder Of Christmas | Part 3 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

We have been learning a great deal as we study the characteristics of 'the coming servant' in the book of Isaiah, our primary text for our "Wonder of Christmas" sermon series. In the first two servant songs, we have found him to be both ‘gentle and lowly’ and ‘meek and measured.' These traits are counter intuitive to the definition of success in any society, and yet that is what Jesus portrayed to His followers. Just think of it -- God Himself, taking on the form of a humble servant. What a wonder!

Join us this Sunday as we consider another aspect from the third servant song -- the Steadfast Servant (Isaiah 50:4-11).
