  • Overflowing with Thankfulness: Thankful In Peace, In Word, and In Name | Part 3
    2024/11/20

    Today's sermon "Thankful in Peace, in Word, and in Name" focuses on Colossians 3 and the transformative power of gratitude in the life of a Christian. It emphasizes that biblical truth is meant to be lived, not just learned, and highlights three key catalysts that increase thankfulness in the believer's life.

    1. The Peace of Christ
    2. The Word of Christ
    3. The Name of Christ

    Colossians 3:17 teaches that everything believers do—whether in word or deed—should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father. Acting in Christ's name means living with a sense of purpose and intentionality, reflecting His character and mission. This transforms everyday actions into acts of worship, filled with thankfulness.

    The sermon also explores how believers are called to "put to death" sinful behaviors and "put off" negative traits while "putting on" virtues like compassion, kindness, humility, and love. These actions all foster an attitude of thankfulness.

    Join Lead Pastor, PJ Noland, as he shares how we all can be "Thankful in Peace, in Word, and in Name."

  • THE GHOST: The Filling of The Holy Spirit | Part 3
    2024/10/23

    Pastor PJ approaches the subject of speaking in tongues and what the Bible has to say about it.

    "When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:1-2, 4 ESV

    Two Critical Points the Bible Makes About Speaking in Tongues:
    1. When someone Speaks in a tongue publicly, there should always be someone to interpret. Verses reference: 1 Corinthians 14:27-28 & 14:23
    2. Speaking in tongue strengthens the person speaking, not the entire church. Verse reference: 1 Corinthians 14:4-5 & 14:19

    Paul makes several points about speaking in tongues:

    (1) It is a spiritual gift from God (1 Cor. 14:2)
    (2) Even though it is a gift, it isn't a requirement of faith (1 Cor. 12:28-31)
    (3) Paul emphasized a greater need for Speaking truth and teaching the Word (1 Cor. 14:4)

  • THE BLESSED CHURCH: Blessed Addition | Part 7
    2024/10/02

    In wrapping up our series on The Blessed Church, PJ Noland shares how evangelism is a charge given to all believers to live out daily.

    Key thought: God desires to make Himself known.

    We are all called to be sharers of the Gospel. Romans 10:15, 17 says, "As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!' So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ."

    Did you know that 95% of all American Christians have never shared the Good News of Jesus with another person? How will they hear if we aren't telling them?

    Listen in as we learn how to live differently to expand the Kingdom.
