    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 18, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,901 views

    We can find some common purposes that the church as a whole was to seek to carry out. I want to highlight these today so that we will be sure and remember what we’re to be about! These things are the business of our Father in heaven!

    About Our Father’s Business… NKJ Luke 2:49 And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?" NKJ John 9:4 "I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 18 The Spirit of the Lord ...read more

    If we are to be all in for Jesus, His Kingdom and His church then we have to be hands on. As the gospel is engraved in your heart, it is ingrained in your head and should be expressed with your hands.

    Intro: We know the power of snow. Snowflakes are all uniquely made and beautiful frozen water. Snowflakes that don’t stick together don’t stay around very long. When they do their unique properties allow them to become an avalanche, a blizzard, a snowman and a snow covered landscape ...read more

  • To Have It All You Must Love All

     | 5,358 views

    It is easy to love church family members in blue sky moments, but real love is demonstrated in the grey sky days.

    This morning I want to focus on Jesus’ command: “Love each other as I have loved you." Please note it is a command and not a suggestion. You of course know that I as a military person understand the difference between a command and a suggestion. At first glance this command looks easy ...read more

  • "i Have More Important Things To Do Than Come To Church." Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,234 views

    Is church really worth our time? Our time is inherently valuable so we want to make sure that we are spending our time on things that have value. Is church one of them?

    The 9-5, Monday-Friday, 40 hour per week, weekends off work week seems to be a thing of the past for many people. Various start times and shifts throughout the day and night, rotating schedules and “on call” demands have certainly redefined what a “normal” work week looks like. You combine that ...read more

  • Bust-A-Move

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,139 views

    This sermon looks at our need to allow the Holy Spirit to move into our lives and into the church so we can move up into the gifts and talents given to us by the Holy Spirit so that we can move out as a church into our community and the world.

    Bust-A-Move Years ago there was a phrase called, “Bust-A Move.” It is a dancing term, more along the lines of break dancing. But it also means to get moving, which is what we need to be doing as believers and as a church, because time is short. And so today I’d like to look at how we are to ...read more

  • Back To The Basics - Discipling Series

    Contributed by Mark Engler on Sep 28, 2017
     | 8,233 views

    Discipling is a process over time that involves many different people, many different settings and situations. And discipling generally begins in small groups and moves to the larger groups. Sometimes as small of groups as two people as it did with me.

    Back to the Basics - Discipling ME As I sat down at my computer this week with thoughts of Discipling on my mind I could not help but think about my own. My own journey and the discipling of received as I become a Christian and after. When I was growing up my dad tried to be a good role model ...read more
