Faith Its Power Proof and Promise
Sunday, 13 December 2009 Speaker Name: Pastor Bryan Sims \| 1 John 5:1-12
Description: Faith not only is mental awareness of something but also includes a commitment of our whole beings. Faith is trusting in something. Biblicial faith is trusting in Christ as our Lord, Savior and Redeemer. To begin, we learn that faith in Christ is the means by which we overcome the world. Also, God has given proof of our faith through his testimony. Finally,the great promise of our faith is eternal life, meaning that we know and experience God's personal presence in our lives both now and forever.

Not Just A Christmas Present (Matt's sermon)
Sunday, 06 December 2009 Speaker Name: Matthew Festa \| Matthew 1:18-25
Description: We often just focus on the Nativity Story during the Christmas Season. However, the message behind the Christmas Story is so important in our daily lives. This week we hear how Joseph is our excellent example of following God's command no matter how difficult it may be with the promise of God's eternal presence.

Love Part 2
Sunday, 29 November 2009 Speaker Name: Pastor Bryan Sims \| 1 John 4:13-21, Gal. 4:4, John 5:18
Description: John continues his wonderful teaching about the significance of love in the Christian life. After reiterating the need for a biblical view of Jesus as the Son of God and Savior of the world, we learn how love casts out the fear of judgment. In other words as we love others as Christ loves us, we have nothing to fear on Judgment Day. Also, love reveals the authenticity of our relation to God.

God Is Love
Sunday, 22 November 2009 Speaker Name: Pastor Bryan Sims \| 1 John 4-8, Romans 5:8
Description: Perhaps no statement is more assuring than is found in 1 John 4:8-God is love. As our passage teaches, God is the source of love. Also, God displayed his love most vividly through the cross. Where Jesus died for our sins and the Father willingly sent him on our behalf. Finally, we are reminded that as God's love is perfected in us, we are the visible display of the invisible God.

False Prophets
Sunday, 15 November 2009 Speaker Name: Pastor Bryan Sims \| 1 John 1-6, John 8:24, 1 Cor. 14:29, 1 Cor. 12:3
Description: An important but often neglected task of the church is the need to protect its core doctrines from false teaching. No doctrine is more essential than Jesus Christ. During the past two millennia, numerous attempts have been made to alter the biblical view of Jesus. The church must be diligent to preserve the biblical witness because a proper view of Jesus is necessary for salvation. In our passage, we learn about recognizing and resisting false prophets.

Assurance of Our Fellowship With God
Sunday, 08 November 2009 Speaker Name: Pastor Bryan Sims \| John 3:19-24, John 14:13-14, John 15:13, Romans 5:5
Description: After knowing the importance and exalted nature of the command to love one another, it might be easy to be troubled by how far we fall short. To give comfort we read 4 ways that God brings assurance of our fellowship with God: loving others, knowledge of the greatness of God, answered prayer, and the abiding presence of God.

Love One Another
Sunday, 01 November 2009 Speaker Name: Pastor Bryan Sims \| 1 John 3:11, Genesis 4:1, Hebrews 11:4, Matthew 5:21-22
Description: John is sometimes called "the apostle of love" because of his emphasis upon love. Though John has mentioned love, this passage is John's first developed discussion. Here, he teaches that love is commanded by God, reveals our salvation, and its true essence-sacrificial service.

Born of God
Sunday, 18 October 2009 Speaker Name: Pastor Bryan Sims \| John 3:1-8
Description: In both his Gospel and 1 John, the apostle uses the phase "born of God," a phrase that apprears elsewhere in the New Testament but is most emphasized by John. What is the new birth? Scripture instrusts us that the new birth is entirely a work of God, necessary for salvation, and a definitive change. Next, the question arises as to how we know that the new birth has occurred?

Debt and Forgiveness
Sunday, 11 October 2009 Speaker Name: Len Novitski \| Matthew 18:21-35
Description: The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant is a parable Jesus told to illustrate the forgiveness that the disciple of Christ is to have towards others that have sinned against them. The parable not only commands forgiveness but reveals the true source and power of forgiveness, that being the mercy and grace shown to us in Jesus Christ.

Sin And Believers
Sunday, 04 October 2009 Speaker Name: Pastor Bryan Sims
Description: Previously, we saw how John reminds believers that at the return of Christ, they will be made like him. In this life, they should be pure as he is pure. However, beleivers must struggle with sin. John gives a powerful exhortation about believers not practicing sin, especially in light of Jesus' sinless character and redemptive mission.
