The Test of a True Church – Part 2
Matthew 18:15-20 Church discipline is clearly laid out by Jesus in Matthew 18 and faithfully following these steps is one of the tests of a true church. Pastor Rod Bunton carefully describes each step and the goal of properly executing them.
The Test of a True Church – Part 1
Matthew 18:15-20 Early church reformer, Martin Luther, laid out three things that serve as criteria for a true church. Pastor Rod Bunton draws our attention to one of those: the practice of church discipline.
Do Not Be Anxious
Matthew 6:25-34 In this contemporary culture with hyper-awareness of world-wide events and societal complexity, we are prone to worry about possibilities and choices that may never occur. Pastor Doug Link leans on the words of Jesus to remind us that God knows what we need and will provide for us.
The Visit of the Magi
Matthew 2:1-12 Well known in contemporary culture as three wise men or three kings, the Bible’s account of the visiting magi is quite different. Pastor Rod Bunton walks us through the story of the wise men who sought to worship the rightful king of the Jews, born in Bethlehem.
Who is Jesus?
Matthew 1:18-25 We know that Jesus is the son of God, but he’s also the son of Mary and Joseph. Pastor Doug Link visits Matthew Chapter 1 to look at the answer to the question, “Who is Jesus?”
What is Discipling and Who Does It?
Matthew 28:18-20 Pastor Ben Khazraee begins a two-part series on discipleship, answering two fundamental questions: “What does discipling look like?” and “Is it just for pastors, teachers, and missionaries?”
With Child by the Holy Spirit
Matthew 1:18 A fundamental truth to Christianity is the way through which Christ came to live among us. In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Rod Bunton examines the miraculous conception that has been attacked throughout history.
Jesus, the King
We sing about it in hymns and Christmas Carols, “Glory to the newborn king!”. The wise men were seeking the King of the Jews. The prophet Daniel wrote about a coming kingdom. Pastor Rod Bunton explores why Jesus is our king and how that should be lived out in our lives.
Joseph, Did You Know?
Matthew 1:18-25 – No man in history has ever faced this dilemma: trusting his betrothed wife’s claim of a virgin pregnancy from the Holy Spirit. Pastor Rod Bunton examines the circumstances that Joseph faced when God chose him to be the earthly father to the Messiah.
Faith in the Resurrection
Matthew 27:62-28:10 – When Jesus’ tomb was sealed and guarded, some hoped that it would prevent the resurrection but, instead, it helped to prove it. Pastor Rod Bunton reviews many reasons why we can have faith in the resurrection event.
Loving Discipline, Part 2
Matthew 18:15-17 – Church discipline is necessary to heal the body from the infection of sin. Pastor Rod Bunton continues to examine the process of church discipline that, when executed Biblically, is one of the Twelve Marks of a Healthy Church.
Loving Discipline, Part 1
Matthew 18:15-17 – Church discipline is painful and difficult, but necessary and rewarding. Pastor Rod Bunton explains an often misunderstood process that, when executed Biblically, is one of the Twelve Marks of a Healthy Church.
