February 12, 2012 | Titus 2 |
Pastor Gary Combs continues the “War of the Worldviews” series with this message on femininity. Taken from the apostle Paul’s letter to a young pastor named Titus, this letter encourages him to teach the older women to train the younger women how to be true women of God. As the people of God, we can affirm God’s design for both men and women. We can affirm and seek to see restored biblical femininity.
February 5, 2012 | 1 Timothy 6:11-16 |
Pastor Gary Combs continues the War of the Worldviews series with this message from 1 Timothy about being a man of God. In this first letter that the apostle Paul wrote to his spiritual son Timothy, he told him that he should be a “man of God.” We can affirm what the Bible teaches about masculinity by being men who aspire to be men of God and by being women who value and support this view of masculinity.
January 29, 2012 | 1 John 1:5-2:6 |
Pastor Gary Combs continues the “War of the Worldviews” series with this 4th message about right and wrong, good and evil, and about that three-letter word, sin. This message takes its text from 1 John where he told the first century Christians that they must not be deceived by the humanistic thinking of their age that would keep them from confessing and repenting of their sin. That they could admit that they were in darkness and that they were sinners in need of a Savior and that Jesus would cleanse them and make them right with God. We can confront the “new tolerance” of our age that deceives us. We can admit that we are sinners and be forgiven and made right with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
January 22, 2012 | Deuteronomy 30:15-20 |

January 15, 2012 | 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 |
Pastor Gary Combs continued the “War of the Worldviews” series with this message from 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 about God’s purpose for our bodies. This message addresses the cultural war about human sexuality from a biblical perspective.
January 8, 2012 | Ephesians 6 |
Pastor Gary Combs begins his new 8-week series entitled “War of the Worldviews” with this message from Ephesians 6. According the God’s Word the real war is not against flesh and blood but against our hearts and our minds. There is a war raging in the spiritual world that clouds our reason. This war will require the whole armor of God to win.
December 25, 2011 | John 3 |
Pastor Gary Combs concludes the NOEL series with this message on Christmas Day. Taken from the book of John, this message describes how Jesus told a prominent Jewish teacher named Nicodemus that God “so loved” everyone that He was offering His greatest gift to all those who would receive it. It is as though God took the approach of wrapping the gift of LIFE and then placed it inside the gift of His Son, the LORD, and then placed it inside the gift of His LOVE. A gift within a gift, within a gift. The greatest gift of all! We can receive this gift from the God who loves all. Having received it, we can be like Him by loving all too.
December 18, 2011 | Luke 2 |
Pastor Gary Combs continues the NOEL series with this message from Luke’s gospel. In the book of Luke, the birth of Jesus was recorded in its historical context with special attention given to show both the humble circumstances of His birth and the glory of His person as the Messiah, the Christ, the Son of God. In Luke’s gospel the angel of the Lord invites the shepherds to come celebrate the birth of the Messiah. They came and it changed them and all they came into contact with afterwards. The Lord still invites us to come celebrate the Christ. We can say yes to His invitation and invite others to join us by giving and loving like Jesus.
December 11, 2011 | Isaiah 55:1-7 |
Pastor Gary Combs continues the NOEL series with this message from Isaiah. Isaiah told the people of Israel that they should stop spending so much on that which doesn’t satisfy and start spending their lives looking for the coming Son of David, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone could satisfy all of their needs. We can start spending less at Christmas on that which doesn’t satisfy, so that we can worship fully, give more and love more.
December 4, 2011 | Matthew 2:1-12 |
Pastor Gary Combs begins a new series entitled NOEL. This first message is taken from Matthew 2:1-12 which tells the story of the Magi who traveled from the East to worship the One born king of Israel. This story shows two kings. One is the false king Herod and the other is King Jesus.
