Pastor Tara concludes her three part stewardship series with this sermon entitled “Rate of Return”.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6-11
“Weigh for time and for eternity. While you are thus engaged, Christ speaks: “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:36. God desires us to choose the heavenly in place of the earthly. He opens before us the possibilities of a heavenly investment. He would give encouragement to our loftiest aims, security to our choicest treasure. He declares, “I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.” Isa. 13:12. When the riches that moth devours and rust corrupts shall be swept away, Christ’s followers can rejoice in their heavenly treasure, the riches that are imperishable." Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 374

Speaker: Caleb VinCross
Join Caleb VinCross as he explores the parable of the fig tree.
Scripture: Luke 13:6-9
“The plants and flowers grow not by their own care or anxiety or effort, but by receiving that which God has furnished to minister to their life. The child cannot, by any anxiety or power of its own, add to its stature. No more can you, by anxiety or effort of yourself, secure spiritual growth. The plant, the child, grows by receiving from its surroundings that which ministers to its life air, sunshine, and food. What these gifts of nature are to animal and plant, such is Christ to those who trust in Him.” Steps to Christ, p. 68

Join Pastor Tara as she begins a new series “Turning over a New Leaf” focused exploring the spiritual disciplines that create the foundation for a healthy spiritual life. This first message in the series is on prayer.
Scripture: Philippians 4:4-7
“Consecrate yourself to God in the morning; make this your very first work. Let your prayer be, “Take me, O Lord, as wholly Thine. I lay all my plans at Thy feet. Use me today in Thy service. Abide with me, and let all my work be wrought in Thee.” This is a daily matter. Each morning consecrate yourself to God for that day. Surrender all your plans to Him, to be carried out or given up as His providence shall indicate. Thus day by day you may be giving your life into the hands of God, and thus your life will be molded more and more after the life of Christ." Steps to Christ, p. 70
