Pentecost 2020: Join Pastor Rolly and Reid in a discussion about Commission, Co-mission and Mission

What does the commission at the birth of the Church have to do with the birthday of the church two thousand years later? In these present times, what opportunities for witnessing can we not let slip through our fingers? How has the commission of God changed from the time of Moses, to the time of the Disciples, to the time of the 21st century Church?

What Jesus says about Money: Pastor Reid Matthias & Pastor Noel Due

Money is not evil in itself but obsession over money can ruin our lives. Join with us today as guest Pastor Noel Due shares with us what Jesus says about creating a healthy attitude towards money.
No one can serve two masters, since either since they will hate one and love the other, or they will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Matthew 6:24

What Jesus Says About Showing Off: Pastor Rolly Stahl

Are we performing to please the crowd? If we take that into our relationship with God, we will miss out on the better things he has for us. Likewise, if our religious habits in public are not matched with the character of Jesus in our private and personal lives, then it’s just a put on, a meaningless display of fake piety. There is only one cure for this: repentance.
Matthew 6:1-18

What Jesus Says About Anger Management: Pastor Reid Matthias

“You have heard it said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’ but I say…
Don’t get revenge, destroy them!
Okay, that’s not the direct translation of the Bible, and many of you will probably figure out where our Sermon on the Mount discussion is going, but we’ll set out on an adventure this week to answer at least two questions, beginning with these:
Who are my enemies?
What can I do about them?
Our scripture verses this week are from Matthew 5:38-48. Read ahead and formulate some of your responses to Jesus if you were actually present for the Sermon.
Pr. Reid Matthias
