Chapter 2|Pastor Dave|"His Word, His Voice" Wk3
Do you remember when you first started reading “chapter books”? It was that transition in growth when you moved from picture books to a simple story line to a narrative that was a bit more complex that it needed chapters to separate the tale into incremental bits so that the reader can take in all that the story provided. Chapters helped us the reader step into the journey the author intended to lead us into. This is how we view the life that Christ has called us into. So if salvation is “chapter 1” of our new journey in Christ, then “chapter 2” is our next step in spiritual formation. In our next series, we are wanting to help encourage Kfirst to look to step forward into a new chapter of their own growth (discipleship) in Jesus. If we want to be a people to want to “be with Jesus so that we can become like Jesus,” then we need to look for a next step (or chapter) to begin. Join us as we discover what your “chapter 2” needs to be in your spiritual walk.

March 31, 2024 Easter Sunday|Pastor Dave| "Believe Again"
Our culture is big on belief. You could even say there is a belief in belief. Yet moments happen that can shake the foundations of what we believe and calls everything we held onto into question. When that happens, we really have to get to the bedrock of who we are and ask, “What do I really believe in?” The word “believe” is closely associated with the word “faith.” So when Jesus says, “Believe in me,” what He is really saying is, “Have faith in me.” This Easter, join us as we look to the cross and resurrection. Come out as we look to Jesus and choose to “Believe Again.”
Prophet/Priest/King|Pastor Dave|"Jesus is the True King" Wk#3
There are three main "offices" spoken of in the Old Testament-prophet, priest, and king. Jesus fulfills all three of these roles. Normally, the three offices of prophet, priest, and king were distinct from each other, with no overlap. That is, a king was not a priest or a prophet. A priest did not function as a prophet or a king. And a prophet simply did a prophet's job without trying to be a either king or a priest. But Jesus Christ perfectly fills all three roles simultaneously: He is the Prophet, Priest, and King, to the great blessing of the world. This series looks at these roles that Jesus has fulfilled and still fulfills - He is our Prophet to give us direction, He is our High Priest to free us from shame, and He is our King to give us unity and strength.
