Unstoppable Church - Week 3 - Wisdom

In the intelligence age, we have lost the wisdom filter from all the information we are consuming.   This can be a problem we should deal with.  As we follow Jesus, where do we look to for wisdom?  Wisdom simply put is God's point of view.  Paul tells the church in Corinth the source of wisdom.  It is available to us as well.  

Father's Day - We need Godly Fathers

Happy Father's Day!!  We need Fathers but more than that we need Godly Fathers.  A Godly Father is simply a father who reflects his Heavenly Father.  What does it take to be a Godly Father?  Pastor Ed unpacks that today.  

Unstoppable Church - Week 2 - Identity

Long before the internet and credit cards, identity was being stolen.  Our enemy loves for us to forget our true identity.  Pastor Ed helps us understand our identity is as a child of God first!!   Because it is our baby dedication we do a specific application for parents.  

Unstoppable Church - Week 1 - Stewards not Owners

Jesus declared not even death itself will stop the church.  Corinth was one of those places the Gospel took early roots.  While Corinth had many problems, Paul is thankful for them and calls them to follow Jesus.  In this message, we will find out we are stewards not owners of the church.

Aftermath - Week 3 - Method

We were blessed to have Char Segebart with us for Mother's Day.  Her husband Ben is the Connections Pastor at Indianola Community Church.  They have 4 kids.  Listen as Char shares her journey to be a mom and follow Jesus. 

Aftermath - Week 2 - The Mission

Jesus gave the church a mission.  This mission has been followed by some and ignored by others.  15 years after Jesus gave it the church was drifting off mission.  They needed course correction and be reminded of what the mission was.  May we never forget the mission and choose to follow it. 

Aftermath - Week 1 - the Message

Following the Resurrection was the birth of the Church.  It is important to remember without the Resurrection there is no Church, no Christians, and no New Testament.  The Church had a message on day 1 and still has the message today!!
