A message from the series “Proverbs: How Not to Ruin Your Life.” Proverbs 1 tells us there are two ways to live: the good life with God at the center, vs. the foolish life with self at the center. We learn in verse seven that having an appropriate “fear” of the Lord is the key to the Good Life. This fear of the Lord comes from an increasing head and heart comprehension of both the bigness and the goodness of God.

A message from the series “Love Vs..” In the last sermon in the “Love vs” series Pastor Nate discusses 5 Ways to Be an All-in Father. The last section of 1 Corinthians 13 can be called “All-in” love. Paul talks about love in extremes to emphasize the unconditional aspect of love. This is why the message is titled Love Vs. Abandonment. God’s love is unconditional, unrelenting and permanent…counter-cultural to the distorted version we see in our world today which is quick to abandon, give up, find an exit.
A message from the series “Love Vs..” We read in 1 Corinthians 13:6 that love does not does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Corruption entered the world through Satan in the Garden of Eden and it changed humanity. Pastor Todd explains the contrast between our corrupted human condition and a life characterized by love. We learn how to avoid corruption and how to live in truth.
A message from the series “Love Vs..” We read in 1 Corinthians 13:5b that love “keeps no record of wrongs.” This kind of divine love, spotless record and declaration of righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Being a Christian means to forgive others just as we are forgiven. Practically, what does it mean for believers to keep no record when others wrong us? Pastor Nate explains what forgiveness DOES and DOES NOT look like.
