1 Corinthians - Week 1

Pastor Marshall Ochs | October 13, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from 1 Corinthians 1-2. The church in Corinth has started comparing teachers and baptisms and treating leaders in the church like celebrities. Paul reminds them that this is not how he taught them to live as new Christians. Their decisions to embrace this celebrity culture is a sign that they are living ungodly lives and should repent. This message reminds us that in God’s family, there are no celebrities, only servants.

Pride and Possessions

Preston Scott | October 6, 2019

In this message, Preston teaches from 2 Kings 5. In this passage, the prophet told Naaman the leper that he could be healed if he went into the Jordan river seven times. This story shows us that Naaman’s pride had to be washed away with his leprosy and the prophet’s servant needed to be cleansed of a desire for possessions. We should use this story to examine our hearts for the sins of pride and possessions as well.

A Worshiping Church - Week 5

Pastor Marshall Ochs | September 29, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches about worship from Revelation 21. In this chapter, Jesus gives John a vision of the new heaven and new earth. This is where Christian’s will treasure Jesus above all else for the rest of eternity. John tells us that sin, death, sickness, sorrow, weak leadership, injustice, and pain will be wiped away, and we will see Jesus face-to-face. The early church worshiped Jesus with anticipation of the new kingdom, and our prayer is that we live with expectation too.

A Worshiping Church - Week 3

Pastor Marshall Ochs | September 15, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches about worship from Hebrews 10, Acts 15, and Ephesians 2. In these chapters, Christians are encouraged to gather regularly and worship Jesus together. This stirs us in love, good works, and encouragement. When we gather, we are also encouraged to use singing as a way to treasure Jesus above this world. While we sing, we are encouraged to show outward expressions of worship like shouting with joy, lifting our hands, bowing down on our knees, playing instruments, and dancing. This message is designed to give our church a Biblical foundation for corporate worship and invite everyone to participate.

A Worshiping Church - Week 2

Pastor Marshall Ochs | September 8, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches about worship from John 4 and Acts 16. In these chapters, Jesus shows that worship is not restricted to a location or specific posture, and Paul experiences a miracle in prison while he uses music to worship Jesus. These stories remind us that worship is not something that happens when you attend a church building. Worship is ascribing worth to Jesus, with your everyday life and circumstances, to reflect the awe of God in a broken world.

In these chapters, David brought the ark of the covenant back to Jerusalem and established certain Levites as worship leaders.

The Life of Samuel - Week 4

Pastor Marshall Ochs | August 25, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from 1 Samuel 15-16. Saul refused to obey God on multiple occasions, so God asked Samuel to anoint a new king over Israel. This new king was a boy named David, and his heart was humble. These chapters show us how David’s character was greater than Saul’s, but David was still a man prone to make mistakes. God has a track record of using ordinary men like David and Samuel, to accomplish unbelievable things for God’s glory. This story reminds us that God is still in the business of calling ordinary people to join the work of building His kingdom. God uses people like you and me to accomplish significant things despite our weaknesses.
