A Sleeping Church Before A Watching World
|
|
|
The recorded story of Jonah is about God. God will do whatever it takes to accomplish His will and bring about His plan. This often contains a storm to get our attention. The event in Jonah's life is like a church. God used a storm to re-direct Jonah's life. With the world events today, God is again calling the church back to obedience. The text is Jonah 1:1-16. This is a sermon in the Pursuit of God series.

An Encounter With God

On the Anniversary of Pastor Messer's 29th salvation anniversary he teaches us about the importance of a personal, true, life changing encounter with God; using some of his own steps and struggles to find God. The powerful message is a must have for the person born into a Christain home and thinks they know God because their parents or grandparents are Christians. Pastor accepted Christ in 1980 at the age of 21.

Breaking Free from Anger
|
|
|
Pastor Messer preaches on the sin of anger and how we often allow it in or lives. It is often a sin we let grip our lives and make room for devil to have a foothold for distruction. In the text Ephesians 4:25-32 we are taught how to break free from anger and what the true dangers are of the sins of the soul including lying, stealing, and corrupt communication as well as anger. Pastor Messer shows us the complexity of anger, the result and consequences of anger and how to overcome anger in a healthy way. Anger is complex and we must deal with it or it will deal with us to a dire end.

Breaking Free from Mediocrity
|
|
|
In another "Breaking Free" message we are taught what mediocrity looks like in the Christian life and how to overcome achieving very little in life for God. The example of God's chosen people helps us break free from a negative and hostile world to live on the mountain top. While many people choose to stay in mediocrity we have a way out with Pastor Messers teaching on this topic. The text is Numbers 13:17- 14:10.

Church Life and Evangelism
|
|
|
This is a powerful message by Pastor Tom Messer from Matthew 4:18-20 meant to encourage all believers in Christ to share the gift we have been given. Today we live our lives like hell is not a real place. If a child was lost in your church while at sunday school, not to be found, the entire church body would run out of the building to look for the lost child. We must take that same sense of urgency in to our everyday lives to share the gospel as history comes to a close.
