Pastor Gary Combs kicked off our study of the 9 fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 by looking at how God’s perfect love in the form of Jesus Christ can motivate our actions, be both our example and source of power, and how we can rely on Christ’s love to sustain our relationships.
May 10, 2015 | Galatians 5:19-25 |

May 3, 2015 | Galatians 4:4-7 |
Guest speaker, Jason Johnson, helps us understand how the gospel working inside of us compels us to care for orphaned and vulnerable children. Christ has redeemed our past, altered our present reality, and shifted our future trajectory for eternity. When we give our family to a child, we can do the same for them.
April 26, 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 |
Pastor Gary Combs concluded this 4-week sermon series on the resurrection with this message from 1 Corinthians 15:50-58. In this message, Pastor Gary taught how the apostle Paul closed out the 15th chapter of 1 Corinthians like a great three movement symphony with a great cresendo! Paul declared to the believers in Corinth how they should live in response to the fulfillment of the resurrection at the time of Christ’s return. We can hear and follow these instructions on how to live and “be” in view of Christ’s return. The text gives us three ways to “be” in view of Christ’s return.
April 19, 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:35-49 |
Pastor Gary Combs continues the sermon series “Rise Again – Come Again” with this third message from 1 Corinthians 15 about the nature of the resurrection body that believers will one day receive. Do you have questions about the nature of the body that will be raised upon Christ’s return? Do you wonder what happens to the body of the one who is lost at sea, dismembered in an explosion or cremated? How can God raise such a one? What about the infant or child who dies, will they receive a child’s body or an adult one? What about the deaf, the blind, the mentally handicapped? What kind of body will they receive? The Bible says, that believers get a body like Christ’s!
April 12, 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:12-34 |
In this second sermon in our “Rise Again, Come Again” series, Pastor Gary helps us see the implications of the historical fact of the resurrection of Christ. Because of Christ’s resurrection, we have have real hope in Christ, we can experience the total victory of Christ, and we can experience Christ’s purpose for our life.
April 5, 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 |
Pastor Gary Combs began a 4-week series entitled “Rise Again-Come Again: An Exposition of 1 Corinthians 15,” with this sermon from the first 11 verses of the chapter. In the this letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul described the details of the resurrection as being key to the gospel, the good news. And went on to establish its veracity by listing the eyewitnesses who had seen the risen Lord. What do we do with good news? We decide whether it is to be believed or not. Yet, this decision determines our destiny.
March 29, 2015 | Malachi 4:1-6 |
Pastor Gary concluded our sermon series through the book of Malachi. Malachi ends with a warning about the “Day of the Lord”, a day that has yet to come even now, to encourage us to repent, remember and return to God.
March 22, 2015 | Malachi 3:13-18 |
Pastor Gary Combs continued the 8-week exposition of Malachi entitled, “Dialogue With God,” with this message from chapter three. In this chapter of Malachi, God told the people of Israel that He heard all of their words and that some had spoken against Him, complaining to one another about Him, while others had rightly feared and esteemed His name before one another. He warns that there is coming a Day when He will separate those who speak against Him from those who fear Him and will only call those who fear Him as His own. Which group do you want to be in? Those who speak against God or for God? The text gives three steps to how we can change our grumbling into gratitude.
