“More Than Just a Book” - Jim Colledge
In Jeremiah 36 the prophet explains where God’s commands have come from and why it is so important for God’s chosen people to observe the Lord’s commands and repent from their sins as individuals and as a nation. This week Jim Colledge provides the background of Jeremiah’s prophecy to the people of Judah that is applicable to us today; the message from God that Jeremiah recorded follows the same process as salvation and the acceptance of Christ and His forgiveness of our sins. God’s Word is more than just a book - it is a love letter from God to us!

2 Timothy - Scott Calhoun
In 2 Timothy, Paul gives very clear instructions to reach out to those who have yet to hear the gospel of Christ - to reach them wherever they are and by living our lives as believers so that Christ is seen in us. This week Scott Calhoun passionately shares specific reasons WHY we are to reach others for Christ as well as HOW we can do so. Listen closely as Pastor Calhoun gives us direction and purpose in our daily walk with Jesus Christ.

“Ignore the Lies; Believe God” - Jim Colledge
This week’s message from the series “Life On the Potter’s Wheel” is from the familiar passage from Jeremiah 29. It is challenging today to ignore the lies that we’re told - whether it’s about the car we should drive, the hair products we should use - and believe the truth of God. Jim College teaches how Jeremiah prophesies that God had a plan for Judah and that God’s primary characteristics (omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence) are proof that God cares deeply - not just for Judah while in exile but for us today as well. Powerful words to live by this week!

“Putting Down Roots, Digging Foundations” - Jim Colledge
What are we to do when God has us in a place that feels like exile - a place we don’t want to be but he clearly wants us to stay, at least for now? Jim Colledge speaks from Jeremiah 29 about the very real exile forced on the kingdom of Judah in Babylon. As with Judah we are to Build, Plant, Take and Seek - using our time in “exile” to impact the lives of our families, friends and community at large for the Kingdom of God and display the love of Christ. Might this time in your personal exile be “…an apprenticeship in your faith?” Listen carefully to this life-changing message.

“Persistence” - Jim Colledge
Persistence. The word is used frequently by Jeremiah especially in the 25th chapter as he describes how he persistently told the nation of Judah that their ways needed to change. Are you persistently pursuing God? Do you shoulder his Word and carry it through the day? This week Jim Colledge teaches how we can persist in our walk by repenting of destructive behavior, relaxing in God’s promises, rejecting the lure of counterfeit saviors & rejoicing in the presence of God’s holiness. Enjoy this week’s message from the series Life On the Potter’s Wheel.

“All By Yourself” - Jim Colledge
Do you ever wonder if God is truly who he says he is? Do you question his faithfulness in this messy life we live? This week Pastor Jim Colledge speaks from Jeremiah 20 - a chapter in which Jeremiah questions why he was even born. Even though Jeremiah speaks prophetically and straight from God he personally dealt with many difficult times. What can we learn from him? What do we do when we feel abandoned by God? Is he truly awesome? Powerful lessons in this week’s message.

“Telling the Truth” - Jim Colledge
Returning to the series “Life On the Potter’s Wheel” in Jeremiah, Jim Colledge this week tells the truth about us, the truth about God, and the truth about grace all in the context of clay on the potter’s wheel. In Jeremiah 18 we learn of Jeremiah’s command from God to visit the potter - and he discovers the truth about clay and how in God’s hands we are the clay. As God’s clay we are shapable, we are corruptible - and we are salvagable, and God will use ALL things to bring Him glory. Listen closely for a clear lesson on God’s sovereignty.

“He Is Risen!” - Jim Colledge
It’s Resurrection Sunday - and He Is Risen! This day we celebrate the reality of the empty tomb - Christ DID conquer death and showed his grace by loving, forgiving and saving even those who initially didn’t believe what happened on that third day. Jim Colledge gives insight into the most important event in history and the gift of grace God shows each of us through this Resurrection Day!

“The Last Night” - Jim Colledge
How much did Jesus know of what his next week entailed The Last Night before he embarked on his entrance into Jerusalem? Could he know the depth of the sins for which he was to be crucified? How much did he tell the disciples of what was to come? The Last Night’s details are important to know to understand how much God loves and forgives - especially the reality that our unrighteousness was exchanged for Christ’s pure and sinless righteousness. Pastor Jim Colledge speaks this week from John 13.

“The Great Predictor?” - Dan Hanny
This week Pastor Dan Hanny teaches from the book of Mark and the disciple’s description of Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. Biblically, the account of Christ is predicted in the Old Testament and throughout the New Testament - and historical references bear out the fact of the events of Christ’s life. As believers or someone searching for meaning through Christ, what do we do with the information? How should my life change given the astounding nature of Christ’s ministry? Listen carefully to Pastor Hanny’s message for the next steps in our walk with Christ.
