Pastor Rich Nathan continues in the Making A Difference series with the topic "A Different Understanding of our Talents." The call regardless of our situation is to improve upon our talents. No matter our circumstance everyone must improve upon what we’re doing for the sake of Christ.
Pastor Rich Nathan launches a new sermon series this weekend entitled Making A Difference. One of the most fundamental ways that we human beings find meaning in life is by making a difference. Every one of us has a need to have our lives count for something. In this series, we’ll talk about how each of us can be difference makers. This sermon is about seeing ourselves as servants. What is our identity? Are we available to God? Service to God is the ultimate freedom. When I put myself under another person, that’s bondage. But when I put myself under the Lord, that’s freeing. There are some things that you gain when you make yourself available to the Lord.
Pastor Rich Nathan continues his series, When Life is Unfair. We have three different phases in life: orientation, disorientation, reorientation. Orientation is when everything is going well. When we are disoriented, we often ask ourselves, “How do I get back to place of stability? How do I get out of this pit?” And as we try to reorient our lives, some use spiritual nostalgia – trying to get back to a place in our past. But instead we need to move forward to what God is providing next in our lives.
Pastor Rich Nathan continues into the series, When Life is Unfair, with the sermon topic How to Look More Like Jesus. He will focus on text from James 1:2-4, 12-14. Maturing as Christians is not a given or automatic. The sad truth is that other than in religious practice, Christians are statistically indistinguishable from non-Christian neighbors regarding race, sexual behaviors, divorce, and domestic violence. God uses trials to bring about maturity.
Pastor Rich Nathan continues his sermon series When Life is Unfair with "How God Comforts People in Pain." One of the main ways that God comforts is through his people. Rich will be preaching from 2 Corinthians as well as share stories from our Support for Life ministry where people were able to come alongside others to comfort one another.
Pastor Rich Nathan continues his series "When Life is Unfair." Why is life so hard? We are not fighting with flesh and blood. There is real evil. This is a war. We are called to take a stand and put on our full armor. As you might suspect, Rich’s message focuses on Ephesians 6.
Pastor Rich Nathan continues in his series, When Life is Unfair. Rich talks about how to live in God’s waiting room – living between the times. He touches on praying, hoping and groaning. We can’t exhaustively explain why things happen the way they do, but we can still live successfully. He will focus on the text from Romans 8:18-27.
Pastor Rich Nathan starts a new series "When Life is Unfair." What do you do when nothing seems to be going your way? Some of us ask, “Why me?” Or “What is God trying to tell me?” How you choose to respond to the difficult things that can happen to you can mean the difference between a life of anger or joy. Everything happens for a reason, and that reason is your spiritual growth in Christ.
In this series, we explore what you can do when life takes a turn that just does not seem fair. We will begin in the book of Job and discover why bad things happen to good people.
