God Will Provide - Pt 3

Tue, 11 May 2010 00:00:00 EST

Tuesday, May 11, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell The fear of poverty is a tough one to shake. And often times we take matters into our own hands and don’t get to the real issue: do we trust God to provide…or do we look elsewhere? If you find yourself between a rock and a hard place be sure to stick around to hear some real life stories of God’s provision. Nothing is impossible for God.

Friday, May 7, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell If you’re not experiencing a financial downturn you probably know someone who is. These are tough times we’re living in. So what are we to do when it seems like we’re not going to make it? In today’s message Pastor Steve explains that we can be absolutely certain God will take care of our needs…not by making us rich, but by providing us all we need to do all He’s asked us to do.

Imitating the Apostles - Pt 3

Thu, 06 May 2010 00:00:00 EST

Thursday, May 6, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell When we look at the apostles of the New Testament we see people guided by the Spirit, bold in the face of persecution and functioning in the gifts of the Spirit. So how are we to “imitate their faith” as it says in Hebrews 13? Can we really believe that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever?” Get ready for great encouragement to be like the apostles.

Wednesday, May 5, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell One of Pastor Steve’s favorite verses is Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.” Today he’ll tell us why. Get ready for a message that explains the importance of imitating the ways of our early church fathers.

Imitating the Apostles - Pt 1

Tue, 04 May 2010 00:00:00 EST

Tuesday, May 4, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell Ronald Reagan once said, “Those who say we're in a time when there are no heroes, just don't know where to look.” Well, today Pastor Steve shows us exactly where to look…to the Apostles of Christ! The Message paraphrase says it this way: “Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness.” If you are in need of someone to look up to and follow… a hero…be sure to stick around for Pastor Steve’s message “Imitating the Apostles.”

Caring For the Poor - Pt 3

Mon, 03 May 2010 00:00:00 EST

Monday, May 3, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell Throughout the Bible we can see God’s heart for the poor. It’s huge. And that’s how big He wants our hearts to be, also. In the conclusion of his message, “Caring for the Poor,” Pastor Steve gives some practical ways we as individuals and as churches can have our hearts expand in this area.

Caring For the Poor - Pt 2

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Friday, April 30, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell Pastor Steve has such a way with making the Word of God understandable. Today he continues his message entitled “Caring for the Poor” and unpacks what the author means when he says we are to thank God with “peace-offerings.” It might surprise you, but part of our thanks involves sacrificially and wisely caring for the poor

Caring For the Poor - Pt 1

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Thursday, April 29, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell Giving to the poor takes real skill. And as we learn the skill, we also learn to love like God loves—with compassion and kindness to those in need. Get ready for an encouraging message that helps us in the process of being “conformed to the image of Christ.”

Promised Love - Pt 2

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, April 28, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell God loves us with unconditional, covenant love. And He asks that the relationship between a husband and a wife model this kind of love…for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health for as long as the two shall live. That’s a pretty heavy promise…but it’s a powerful one! As Pastor Steve continues his message from Hebrews 13 he’ll show the wonderful blessings of loving with “Promised Love.”

Promised Love - Pt 1

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Tuesday, April 27, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell God is engaged in covenant love, not the “love” that so many songs have been written about and there’s a huge difference. Get ready for a message about how God loves us and how we are to love each other.

Time of Visitation -- Pt 1

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Monday, April 26, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell Series: Hebrews volume 4 The author of Hebrews writes the early church encouraging them to trust that Jesus is their long-awaited Messiah. And the Living Word speaks to us today, encouraging you and I to trust in Jesus as our Messiah. Each one of us has our own… "time of visitation"… when we come face to face with Jesus and must make the most important choice we'll ever have. It was radical back then and it continues to be so today.

Friday, April 23, 2010 Host: Dr. Steve Schell Series: Hebrews volume 4 We have a lot of choices to make in this life but the most important one is choosing whether or not to trust God and what He has done for us. The book of Hebrews calls it our… "time of visitation." In today’s message Pastor Steve spells out what our choice is and how to make it by faith.

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Can this person harbor sin in their heart? Get ready for an eye-opening look at the quote-unquote…… "good brother"… who stayed home while his wild living sibling went off and squandered his inheritance. Pastor Steve calls it "the older brother syndrome."
