- Oct 22, 2023Our Awesome God is Faithful, True, and Abounds in Steadfast Love
Oct 22, 2023Our Awesome God is Faithful, True, and Abounds in Steadfast LoveBy: Chris BenderIn many conversations these days, people have varying opinions about who they think God is. Of course, God is who He is and the opinions of others don't affect his character. We are exceedingly blessed that God reveals Himself through His word and that when we read it we discover that He is unchanging. Chris preaches on why this is good news because the more we discover about God's character, the more we can trust Him.
- Oct 15, 2023Our Awesome God is Just
Oct 15, 2023Our Awesome God is JustBy: Chris BenderIn Psalm 89 we learn that justice is a foundational part of God and so much of scripture proclaims His justice and the fact that He is perfectly impartial. Yet, isn't it interesting that many desire justice for others, but not for themselves? When it comes to us, we tend to want mercy and grace, not justice. The beauty of God's character is that when it comes to ultimate justice, God gives us the choice. Chris preaches on God's justice, mercy, and grace, and preaches about what God prefers to give us.

Chris preaches on the incredible mercy and grace from our awesome God and also shares powerful stories of how we can follow the example of our Savior.

- Sep 10, 2023Our Awesome God is Our Creator
Sep 10, 2023Our Awesome God is Our CreatorBy: Chris BenderThe very first verse in the Bible helps us understand who god is... our Creator. This is a foundational truth when we recognize that we were created for a purpose. Modern society tells you that you're an result of accidental processes, but with a little investigation, no one should have enough faith to believe that everything we see and those things that we don't are the result of accidental processes. When we discover how much we are loved and our purpose here, it helps us make a difference for the Kingdom!
