The Fifth
Speaker: Jason Guynes
Jesus is the Light of the World. When He encountered suffering, His focus was on compassion, rather than judgment. If we follow Him, this dictates we do the same.The Fourth
Speaker: Jason Guynes
The feeding of the five thousand reminds us that Jesus is the Bread of Life. The question is, are we, or someone we know, requesting more signs as a delay tactic to avoid placing our trust in Jesus?The Third
Speaker: Jason Guynes
Today we continue our study of the signs of Jesus. According to John a sign is a visible experience of God working through Jesus in the world for our salvation. The healing of the invalid in this story shows that God seeks out the lost to save them - that’s the work of God. He’ll accomplish His mission regardless of what we say, think, or do.The Second
Speaker: Jason Guynes
The focus of this story, as with others in John, is on ‘believing’. This story illustrates the new dimension of believing without the immediacy of seeing.The First
Speaker: Jason Guynes
Today we start a new series called ‘Signs’, looking at eight moments in the Gospel of John which are signs pointing to Jesus’s identity and saving work for us. Signs in the Gospel of John which show the way to new life in Jesus. Like signs on a roadtrip, these signs of Jesus show us something very important: that God is at work in the world through Jesus for our salvation. We start today with the Wedding at Cana.
Words
Speaker: Jason Guynes
Our words are powerful for good or evil. Look through your latest social media posts. Do they reflect truth, respect, and fairness? How have you responded when someone has corrected you for your speech - with listening and prayer, or with defensiveness? Is there anyone you need to apologize to for your behavior online?Content and Happy
Speaker: Jason Guynes
Today’s message looks at what Proverbs has to say about being happy, joyous, or content, but it’s important to understand, we aren’t talking about happiness in the sense of ignoring or suppressing sadness. The happiness Proverbs speaks of is deeper, more profound.Parenting
Speaker: Jason Guynes
The job of Christian parents is to instruct their children in wisdom and the fear of the Lord. To introduce them to Jesus, through both word and lifestyle. Mainly through them being able to witness your own walk of intimacy and conviction with Christ. This week, find ways to invest wisdom in your children and then place them in God’s hands, trusting that He’s in control.Anger
Speaker: Jason Guynes
A wise person is patient with others and mature in handling anger. When you experience anger, pray, slow down, breathe, listen, be patient and remove yourself from the situation if you need to cool down. As far as possible, extend mercy and forgiveness to the other person, remembering how God handled his wrath against sin.Rooted Friends
Speaker: Jason Guynes
Wise relationships are rooted in a relationship with God. Are your relationships self-serving or loving?First Fruits
Speaker: Jason Guynes
God is the Creator and Source of all we have, and as Christians we honor Him with our “first-fruits” and by using our money in generous ways and avenues of service.A Well Ordered Life
Speaker: Jason Guynes
The book of Proverbs is a collection of wise sayings primarily from King Solomon. This 7 week series we begin today looks at wisdom and themes within it, considering practical areas where God’s wisdom can shape and change how we live. We’ll see that a well-ordered life brings contentment. The question today is, what are our life priorities? And a followup question may be, if someone took inventory of our lives, would they be too crowded for Jesus?
Turning the Page
Speaker: Jason Guynes
New opportunities await those in the new year who keep their eyes on Jesus by developing healthy habits of turning the pages of Scripture to find our place and purpose in the story of God. As Believers we’re given God’s manual on finding hope and are invited to turn the page to unpack its message, valuing the opportunity to receive new life in Jesus, and appreciating the gift of growing in biblical knowledge.
Opportunity Cost!
Speaker: Jason Guynes
Have you weighed the short term opportunity cost with the longterm benefit of life in Christ!?
Worship in Hope!
Speaker: Jason Guynes
We’ve been talking about the Exiles returning to Jerusalem to relearn how to worship God during the time of Nehemiah. The exiles had come back to a world that seemed quite foreign. What they needed was a reminder of how to celebrate God’s work and all the new ways He was showing faithfulness to provide them hope. We will find our way back to worship and trusting God’s presence when we learn to open our eyes to the marvelous ways God has brought us victory, both now and in the future!Are You Listening?
Speaker: Jason Guynes
We’ve been talking in this series about the Exiles returning to Jerusalem to relearn how to worship God during the time of Nehemiah and Ezra. Worship which requires the proper perspective of God’s character. Until we can see God as glorious, we can’t possibly approach Him in worship. We must trust God is active in everyday life if we’re to sense He’s called us into His presence.Hike with Your Head Up!
Speaker: Jason Guynes
The story of Ezra speaks to the need for genuine repentance when sin has nearly ruined us. Acknowledging that their sin had left them spiritually bankrupt, the exiles had to admit their failures and go to extreme measures to correct them. When God calls us to turn back toward Him so we can accomplish what He has set for us, we must be willing to make significant changes to honor Him.As Never Before!
Speaker: Jason Guynes
After the exile, the people were hungry to worship God fully and correctly. The rebuilding of the Temple wall afforded the people the opportunity to honor God’s Word in ways that hadn’t been experienced in years. When God calls us from exile into community centered around His Word, there’s reason to worship - when our hearts are committed to honoring the Lord, we celebrate Him as never before.Worship Again!
Speaker: Jason Guynes
When Israel returned from exile, they had to relearn how to worship God. Nehemiah had rebuilt the wall in Jerusalem; now it was time to restore worship. In these verses, the exiles are reminded that true worship is both volitional and rooted in deep appreciation of the Scriptures. If we are to worship God as He deserves, then we must consistently open our hearts to hear the Scriptures.
The Gospel
Speaker: Jason Guynes
Today we talk about the 3rd circle in our 3 Circle model, the Gospel, which allows us to recover and pursue God’s design for our lives and help others do the same.
