On a weekly basis our ministers deliver sermons based in God’s Word that seek to encourage, challenge, and edify the church. Check out the Waterview livestream to watch our services as they happen.
Neal Pollard visited with us for the kickoff of the Summer Series and delivered a great sermon on the First Commandment and how it relates to our devotion to God.
Acts 17 is the well know discourse to the Athenians about "the Unknown God." The theological points in this sermon are so powerful, but this lesson's main emphasis is to see how Paul used cultural awareness to share Jesus on that occasion. Since our culture is very similar to the one in first century Athens, we should really pay attention and incorporate this knowledge into our outreach today.
Matthew chapter one contains the great story about the "marriage" of Joseph and Mary and the Son of God born into their trust. In this lesson we cover points of interest like the genealogical accounts, Jewish marriage betrothal, the virgin birth and the characteristics of the great marriage of Joseph and Mary. Most importantly, we are reminded of why Jesus came into this world!
The church, in its first few years of existence, went through some tough times. One of those times was during the reign of Herod Agrippa I. As he stretched out his hand to harass the church in those days, in Acts 12 we learn three things Christians ought to do during these kind of times.
If you are married or plan to get married you need to pay attention to the marriage of Abraham and Sarah. Not only can we learn about the ups and downs that every married couple will experience, we also learn about the trials and triumphs of faith.
It's amazing how much we can learn about ourselves from the first few chapters of the Bible! It is also interesting how some of those same lessons apply to marriage, one of the major themes of Genesis. Today, we would be wise to learn the same lessons that Adam and Eve learned about marriage and apply them to our marriages today!
We look at the early church and marvel at their zeal for evangelism. How could we ever be of the same spirit? But there is nothing they knew, believed, or did that is out of reach for us today. We can be evangelistic people, just like them.
Every mother has momentos. They really are moments treasured in the heart. Mary, the mother of Jesus had them. What is the mother's best moment?
Igor Egriev gives us an update on the Russia missionary efforts.
God established three great institutions to give order to the world: the home, the church and civil government. Romans 13 describes the Christians responsibility to the state under which one lives. In doing so, Paul shares three compliments about people who represent the authority. This lesson is our way of saying thanks to first responders.
