Zacchaeus Meets Jesus Aug 13, 2023

Show notes

God came to seek and save the lost. In response to God’s grace, He calls us to change and make amends for the past. Jesus approaches the crowds in Jericho, walks right through them, and goes straight to the tree Zacchaeus has climbed. He looks up at Zacchaeus (v. 5) and tells him to come down because Jesus needs to stay in his house. Who is seeking whom here? We’re told Zacchaeus is seeking Jesus, but it is very clear both from Jesus’s actions and words that Jesus is seeking out Zacchaeus.
This invitation brings Zacchaeus great joy (v. 6). Here we see that Zacchaeus is already becoming a new creation in Christ, for in response to the people grumbling about him Zacchaeus announces he will give away half his money and restore fourfold any money taken wrongfully (v. 8)! Jesus seeking out Zacchaeus is a picture of his pursuit of each of us.

Jonah: Sheltered Under God Aug 06, 2023

Show notes

In this final message based on the book of Jonah, God uses a vivid object lesson to teach Jonah about his sovereignty over creation and salvation. God grows a plant to shade Jonah from the sun, then removes the plant to show his power and sovereignty over his creation (Jonah 4:6–8). Although the plant, like the fish, gladly obeys the command of God, Jonah has yet to get on board with God’s plan and desire for his creation.
The story of Jonah ends abruptly with no apparent resolution on the part of the rebellious prophet (Jonah 4:11). However, the story has now come full circle. God began by calling Jonah to preach his message to 120,000 people, and now he has returned to deal with the one. God’s great love is not only for renegade cities with thousands of lost souls but also for the heart of his one rebellious prophet.

Jonah: Angry With God Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

In this message, Pastor Bogdan helps us understand what to do when we are disappointed with God. What to do with your disappointment in God? Have you ever been disappointed with God? Have you ever been angry with God or angry at God? Those people who are in authority over us, such as parents, bosses, supervisors, leaders, and pastors, might have made decisions that impacted us, at first, we did not understand why it is that they did what they did, but then later on, we understood that their decision was correct, even though at first, we did not understand it.
Even the best parents, and the best leaders, are flawed human beings, and even with their best intentions of making good decisions, they might have made decisions that ultimately were not the wisest or the smartest. But imagine for a moment the nature of God, in that the will of God and the decisions of God, and what God allows to come to pass, is always 100% perfect and correct every single time. It does not mean that the pain that happened to you was good or that God caused it, but it can be used for your good.
Today God has lovingly put you in situations and places where your comfort and desires are pressed so that they might conform to his plan for your life.

Jonah: Turning To God Jul 23, 2023

Show notes

God uses the few simple words that Jonah speaks to bring about great repentance and salvation to an entire city. God doesn’t need your eloquence to accomplish His desires. Rather, He lovingly invites you to lend your voice to His simple message and to join Him in His work. In this third message in our Jonah series, Pastor Bogdan reminds us that God speaks to Jonah a second time commanding him to go to Nineveh and proclaim God’s message. This second chance is evidence of God’s persistent calling and his patient love. His desire to save the city of Nineveh and to use Jonah as his messenger has not changed. Humans’ disobedience doesn’t change God. His relentless love and calling change us.

Jonah: Saved By God Jul 16, 2023

Show notes

When Jonah literally hits rock bottom, God rescues him and redirects his thoughts and actions. Pastor Bogdan will remind us through this sermon on Jonah, that God can hear your prayer, save you, and create space for you to listen to and obey him, even when you are at your lowest point.
God is at work to save, even before those fleeing from Him are aware of him.

The Church, Culture, and Politics: Part Two Jul 02, 2023

Show notes

Living at peace with governing authorities is practiced by living at peace with one another. Most leaders shy away from controversial topics in the church. Under the right circumstances, though, a dialogue within the church on a sensitive subject can help worshippers grow in faith and friendship.
Romans 13:1–7 has a storied legacy of use in political rhetoric. The very fact that such broad interpretations have been possible over the centuries suggests that we should apply this passage to any contemporary situation with a great deal of care and only in consistency with Jesus’s ethic of loving one’s neighbor as oneself (Matthew 22:39).
In this second message on The Church, Culture, and Politics, pastor Bogdan reminds us that Jesus is too liberal for conservatives and He is too conservative for liberals. Jesus is a category breaker. God always breaks our categories. That is why He is God.

The Church, Culture, and Politics: Part One Jun 25, 2023

Show notes

As we navigate the increasingly polarizing topic of faith and politics, we take guidance from Jesus as he himself tackled a time of religious and political upheaval. What were the politics of Jesus’ time? How did Jesus interact with governing authorities? When we have fellow believers on opposing sides of the party line, how can we maintain Christian unity? This two-week series will stimulate faith and discussion among believers of all political persuasions. In this first sermon, pastor Bogdan is speaking about what it means to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.

Elijah: The Ahab & Jezebel Spirits Jun 04, 2023

Show notes

After three long years of drought, without any rain in Israel, the time had come for God to defeat the demonic spirits working through Ahab and Jezebel. In today's message, we are going to learn what the passive Ahab spirit and the controlling Jezebel spirit look like and how we can avoid falling prey to such demonic activity.

Elijah: A Man Of Miracles May 28, 2023

Show notes

Studying the life of Elijah, we see that God will sometimes send you into a season of separation for preparation. In this message, we will observe how Elijah meets a very poor widow and her son. The Word of the Lord comes to Elijah, and if he thought he was through with testing from God, he goes from being cut off to being cut down to now, going to a place that means to melt. We will see in this miraculous story, which takes place in seemingly ordinary circumstances, that if you want God’s supernatural provision in your life, you must agree to His vision for your life. God was purifying and preparing Elijah.

Elijah: A Man Like Us May 21, 2023

Show notes

In this new sermon series based on the life of the prophet Elijah, we will see and learn a model for Christian living. Elijah’s life is filled with incredible stories of faith and passion, yet he was just a regular person—a human being just like us. God’s Word encourages us that if we practice humble obedience the way Elijah did, God can use us in incredible ways, too.
The big idea in this first sermon is that God uses ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary purposes. Do you need to make an important decision? Go to the Lord and ask for wisdom. Have you received a Word from the Lord? Go to His Word. Are you in a season of being cut off and cut down? Don't surrender your season. Lean in. Has your brook dried up? Suspend reason and obey God, even if it doesn't make sense.
