Hi!
I am pastor Mike. In our current sermon series, we are looking at
Refreshing Our Faith: "Seven Essentials of Christian Belief". This sermon series
is designed to engage us in seven fundamentals of our Christian faith. Because
of our increasing secular society, it is good to have a refresher course in the
elementary beliefs of our Christian walk. The attempt of this series is to
strengthen each person's foundation in the personal walk with Jesus Christ, and
help us defend our faith in love to those who do not believe. Here are the
topics we will be examining each Sunday:
June 8th - Fundamental #1 : Truth Is Fundamental, Essential and Absolute
2 Timothy 2:15-19; John 1:1-5
The 'fundamentals' are the essential truths of the Christian faith, the foundation
principals on which our faith stands. The first of these is that truth itself is
fundamental. In this sermon, we will answer four questions about truth. Does truth
exist? What is truth? What is true? What is important truth? We will learn what
is essential when it comes to our faith and how that truth makes us a better Christian.
June 15th - Fundamental #2 : God Is Real
Genesis 1:1-27; Ephesians 4:4-10
There is really no middle ground on this one, if we truly seek out the truth. At the
center of any truth there has to be an existance of something, that something is God.
But how do I know this? From what perspective do I find the truth of God? We will
answer these questions in this sermon and give simple proofs that God is real.
June 22nd - Guest Speaker
June 29th - Fundamental #3 : The Bible Is God's Word
2 Timothy 3:14-17; Psalms
Have you ever wondered where the bible came from, or how it was divinely inspired?
This sermon will briefly explain the bible, the difference between the old and new
testaments as well as its relevance to our life today. The bible is inspired by
God, and still inspires us today. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light
unto my path."
July 6th - Fundamental #4 : Jesus Is Our Savior
Romans 5; 1 Corinthians 15:20,21; Hebrews 10:5-14
The first three sermons in their barest forms do not include anything that is
explicitly or distinctly Christian. They are rather prerequisites of our
Christian faith. The next four essentials are distinctly Christian. This
sermon will explain that Jesus is the Christ, Christ died for our sins,
Jesus is the substitutionary atonement, and raised from the dead.
July 13th - Guest Speaker
July 20th - Fundamental #5 : Jesus Is God's Son
John 1:10-17; Hebrews 5:1-14
We will ask and answer some questions about Jesus. Who did Jesus' earliest
followers believe Him to be? Who was He in the eyse of His apostles and
other contemporaries? What did the first Christians believe? How can we
know Jesus is God's son? Join us as we explore these answers according to
God's word.
July 27th - Fundamental #6 : God's Grace Is Jesus Christ
John 3:16,17; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-14
We sing about grace, we talk about it and at various levels experience and
share grace with others. But what does this term mean? How do I find it
and really experience it? Well, two words sum up this idea of grace:
Jesus Christ. Through our acceptance, belief and baptism we experience
this grace and true forgiveness because of God's Son!
August 3rd - Fundamental #7 : Jesus Is Coming Again
Matthew 24; Revelation 22:7-21
Every Christian has probably asked the question, Is Jesus coming back soon?
We see undending wars, continual upheaval in the Middle East, earthquakes,
inflation, and economic distress. Is the end in sight? The truth is
Jesus is coming back again but do we know when? Find out this Sunday,
that is if we are still here!
August 10th - Fundamental #8 : Our Purpose Is...
Acts 2 and 4; Matthew 28:16-20
We will recap our seven essential truths and define our purpose as a church.
This sermon will show us how we can apply these truths into our world as a
church, as various ministries, and as individuals.
