07-21-2013 God's Unconditional Promises Part 4- Pastor Mark Rossington

There are a multitude of situations that come our way where we have to make decisions that will influence our lives in either small ways, or in huge life changing ways. The small ones we make all the time and we really don't think about them, but the really big ones give us pause and force us to really think about them. Whether it's a job change, medical decision, or even going back to school, it's all something that requires us to weigh all the options in every aspect of it. The way we make them is also pretty huge, and everyone has their own way of doing it and will be more than willing to tell you how you should. So what's the right way of making decisions? Is there a right way at all? In the fourth part in the series called God's Unconditional Promises, Pastor Mark goes to the book of Proverbs to shed some light on how we should handle decisions in life, and how God has given us the wisdom to make them if we so choose to use them. That very installment in the series, as well as the previous parts, can be found right here.

07-14-2013 Unconditional Promises Part 3- Pastor Mark Rossington

There are days in our lives where it seems like we can't do anything right, and that's nothing we can do to make things better. We try a myriad of ways to make things in our lives to go smoother or to give us the courage to face challenges that will crop up. Some times they work and some times they don't. What do we do? How do we get through our days when it seems like the whole universe is out to get us? This past Sunday, Pastor Mark continues on about God's unconditional promises and talks about how God has given us the ability to get through life's challenges when they come up. He also talks about the Apostle Paul and the challenges he faced when he became a Christian and spread the Word throughout the Roman Empire as an illustration. The third installment in the sermon series, as well as the previous parts in the series, can be heard right here.

07-07-2013 Praying For Our Nation- Pastor Mark Rossington

One of the privileges living in the United States is the ability to practice our faith without worrying about being persecuted, and to openly pray about everything. One of the things that's taught in the Bible is to pray for our leaders. What things should we pray for when praying for them? If we don't like who is in the current position, what do we do then? On this special Sunday about our Nation's birthday, Pastor Mark talks about how we should pray for all of our leaders, whether we like them or not, and what we should pray for. That Independence Day sermon can be found right here.

06-30-2013 God's Unconditional Promises Part 2- Pastor Mark Rossington

One of the things that we do when we worship is asking God for forgiveness, and is also something that we do in prayer. We are told that when we do that that God will forgive us and then remember the act no more, and that's a guarantee. When we ask forgiveness from other people that's really not that case because we feel obligated to do other acts to really show the person that we're really sorry. With God we sometimes do that as well, but is it really necessary? In the second part in the new sermon series, Pastor Mark talks about confessing our sins with God, and what it really means as an unconditional promise. The next part in the series can be found right here for your listening enjoyment.
