Paul has a situation in Corinth where a man had sinned against someone in the church. He lets them know the sin isn't just against him, but against everyone. He begged them to deal with the situation so the man could be restored. He also encouraged them to forgive him, so that Satan didn't get a foothold in the church.

Vision Sunday

April 6, 2025
A healthy human body is identified when every part is working properly, with all the internal and external parts doing exactly what they were designed to do. Paul reaches for that analogy when he talks about the Church in Ephesians 4. Pastor Nate presents our Spring Vision Sunday message of maturity – growing up as the body.

In this sermon from Sept 2024, we presented the vision for building our own facility in Riverside. This message was immediately followed by an exercise with our architect/designer, so there are references to that exercise throughout.

Why It Matters

September 22, 2024
The Jerusalem council writes a letter to send back to the Gentile believers in Antioch, and send it by the hands of Paul, Barnabas, Judas, and Silas. The Gentile believers were overjoyed when they received the letter, because it welcomed them as brothers and sisters in Christ!

Psalm 22

July 7, 2024
Jesus utters these words from the cross: “My God, my God; Why have you abandoned me?” First of all, is that even possible? Can God the Father actually abandon God the Son? No. Is Jesus asking a question looking for answers? No. He knows exactly what is happening. So if it’s not a question, and it’s not even possible - what is Jesus saying and why is he saying it? What if he is pointing to Psalm 22 from the cross?

A Healthy Church

April 21, 2024
As the church spreads out due to persecution, Antioch becomes one of the primary hubs for this new faith. In fact, it’s here that Jesus followers are first called Christians. Barnabas encourages the burgeoning church in Antioch, who in turn encourages the believers in Judea with famine relief.

Heaven’s Revelation

March 24, 2024
Peter is sitting down to eat lunch one day, when he falls into a trance and sees a heavenly vision about eating unclean animals. After the vision, some unclean men arrive at the door asking him to come with them. The Lord instructs Peter to go with them “with no doubts.” And he ends up in the home of a Romans centurion. The “bridge” that is the church of God is starting to come together in Christ!
