    The Pathway Of Adam Vs. The Pathway Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 14, 2024
     | 172 views

    I was walking in the pathway of Adam, the pathway of rebellion against God. And it was leading toward disaster. Not only that, the entire world system was built around the pathway of Adam. So it naturally drew me in.

    There was a pathway I was on for many years. It was a pathway with many bright lights and beautiful things. So much technology and media, so many songs, and movies and events, giant arenas and commercials and billions of dollars in industry. I walked that path day by day, it was at times ...read more

    The Power Of Christian Community

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 211 views

    It’s easy to get proud. It’s easy to want to show off. It's too common in the church. Instead, let’s choose to be very humble, serving each other gently.

    I’ve been wrestling with God lately on some things, battling depression, anxiety, even questioning God, his will and purposes. And I’m so grateful for my wife who has been there day in and day out challenging my poor thinking patterns. Reciting God’s word to me. She brings the truth up, and just ...read more

    What Is Greatness?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 197 views

    Jesus our God came to serve. And even to die, to give his life as a ransom for many! To die for us, to empty himself of divine power and authority and serve those in need. That is true greatness.

    I recall a meme I saw online, it had a picture of a janitorial supply cart and it said, "Called to ministry? This will be your first pulpit." Truer words were never spoken. My first five years in ministry I mopped a lot of floors, and believe me, I expect more floors in the future. ...read more

    Putting To Death The Sins Of The Flesh

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 140 views

    We have no reason to say that we are caught in sin, because we don’t have to. That’s what it says. We are under no obligation to agree with the sinful nature when it wants to do something bad. Instead, the Spirit makes us free.

    We’ve been building a structure, and it’s based around what it means to be a follower of Jesus. We’ve talked about the fact that a Christian walks by faith, trusting in God and following God’s leading even when it seems odd or strange. We’ve talked about how a follower of Jesus seeks and ...read more

    God Will Redeem Your Broken Situation

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 274 views

    When we fail in our eyes, in the eyes of others even, God doesn’t see failure. He sees redemption.

    I spent the last week at camp with my wife. We were tasked to serve as cabin counselors during the week, Monday through Friday. Let’s just say we had a very interesting week. The experience was so brutal and difficult that we both left feeling defeated and upset. Chelsey and I aren’t parents, we ...read more

    Healing From Past Heartaches

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 239 views

    Jesus has a title, and it’s the great physician. He is able and willing to heal us.

    There is a broken path in life. A road many of us here have walked. It’s the road of perdition. It’s the road of destruction. But it doesn’t feel that way when we walk it, not at first at least. The road begins with a surrender. It’s a surrender that occurred in my heart when I had had too much. I ...read more

    A Great Cloud Of Witnesses: Faith-Living Vs. Me Centered Life Series

     | 436 views

    How to walk "by faith" in a me centered world

    Faith is a mystery to the world. It seems crazy. It seems stupid. But I’ll tell ya what’s stupid. I’ll ya what’s dumb. What’s dumb is trying to control my own life and manipulating events to make things I want happen. It just doesn’t work. And even if it does work, I’m not happy. I get exactly ...read more

     | 443 views

    Final sermon delivered at The Salvation Army Owosso, Mi Citadel before departing to next appointment.

    God has every person who is honestly seeking Him, on the planet on a spiritual journey. He is teaching you something right now. And he’s taught us at this church so many things over the last 5 years. So we’re going to look at the top 7 things that I’ve seen God say to us over this period, and we’ll ...read more

    What Is Your True Name? What God Calls You

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 25, 2024
     | 243 views

    The world attempts to label us as many different things, and even convinces us to believe those names. But how does God define us? And how do we go about believing it through and through?

    "To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it." -Revelation 2:17 What is your true name? My first thought was of Helen Keller, and how she was ...read more

    Celebrate What God Has Done Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 25, 2024
     | 332 views

    He is faithful. He is faithful for the future just as much as he has been in the past. Trust Him for the road ahead. Though it seems so very uncertain, God is trustworthy, our part is to hold on tight as God begins to do a new thing in our lives. The future is bright.

    There was once a great and mighty citadel of the faith. It’s members were many, it’s band large, it’s youth growing in the faith, it’s members organized and energized, it’s outreach far and wide, it’s services many and multiplied, and it’s reputation, as one of the premier citadels of the mighty ...read more

    The Ultimate Christian Attainment: Union With God Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 19, 2024
     | 312 views

    We do not easily submit to all this burning up of dross within us. We do not want to be buried with Christ in his cross and alive with Christ in His resurrection. We naturally resist the death of self. Yet God helps us submit to the refiner's fire.

    Many great saints I’ve known, even in the Salvation army, many are retiring now, and they say that when they retire, they are grateful that God did not show them the entire path all the ups and downs because they would not have been able to handle the thought of it. But step by step, along the ...read more

     | 722 views

    Let’s examine ourselves. How was our conduct over the last few years? Did we keep Jesus first in everything?

    On February 8th of 2023 a revival broke out at Asbury University and lasted for 144 hours. It started with a simple chapel service where a message was given that led students to seek God. This revival led to thousands and thousands of people descending on the small town to experience the revival. ...read more

    Christ In The Heart: It's Just That Simple Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 6, 2024
     | 425 views

    You can sit in church your whole life and never let Christ into your heart. You can try very hard to adjust your outward behaviors but never let His love into yourself.

    In all this deep discussion of prayer and God’s presence and turning ourselves toward Him, we must always return to the basic, simple understanding of who Jesus Christ is to us. You can sit in church your whole life and never let Christ into your heart. You can try very hard to adjust your outward ...read more

    Unity In The Church: And The Boundaries Of Unity Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 6, 2024
     | 774 views

    We have a perfect example from Jesus about what it means to walk in unity. On Earth, Jesus sought to do the perfect will of God the Father.

    You can tell when you walk into a church, and spend any amount of time there, whether that church is united or not. What is Christian unity? We know it when we see it. We can feel it. You can feel the peace around the table. You can sense the peace and unity in the service, the bible studies, the ...read more

    Finding Rest In The Presence Of God Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 31, 2024
     | 445 views

    We can experience God’s presence outside of us, and within us. God isn’t far off. He’s so close we can hardly imagine it. Many feel God is far off. They wonder… Can you really experience God? Can you really sense God’s presence? Can you really know God deeply? The answer to those 3 questions is yes.
