Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 10:32-34
In this account, Jesus again tells of His upcoming death, burial, and resurrection. Here He gives even further and possibly surprising detail, but it is not so much Jesus’ message that strikes fear into the heart of His followers, but His resolve.
Add. Ref.: Psalm 22:6-8; Matthew 27:39-43; Isaiah 50:5-6; 50:4, 7, 10-11

Missionary: Pastor Fred Whitman – PM Sermon
World Missions Conference 2016
Pastor Fred Whitman has been a missionary to Italy for more than four decades, and his proximity to the Vatican along with his work in evangelizing Catholics means that he has very intimate and informed understanding about the Church of Rome and how far away from the Truth of Scripture they have gone. When we better comprehend the presuppositions of Romans Catholics, we better recognize their need for a Savior.

World Missions Conference 2016

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 10:17-31
A contemporary approach to evangelism often pushes an unbeliever to “make a decision” for Christ without ever confronting the unbeliever’s wicked heart. But in this passage, Jesus confronts a man who might appear “good” by all external accounts, but who cannot come to Christ because of the one thing he values more than Him.

Scripture: Selected Scriptures
If the purpose of the church is to worship God, then it would certainly be important to have a biblical understanding of what “worship” is. We often think of worship in the context of a certain emotion or music, but is that all that worship is? Furthermore, what are the considerations we need to make in evaluating what is appropriate worship for the corporate assembly, and what is not?

Scripture: Mark 10:1-12
After directly exposing the hypocritical interpretation of Scripture by the Rabbis to support the widespread divorce in the first century world, Jesus’ disciples are both surprised and bewildered by God’s expectations for marriage. In this message, Pastor Matt explains the three provisions in Scripture for remarriage, but is the Christian really expected to live by that marital code?

Scripture: Selected Scriptures
What is the church? That is among the most basic questions we can ask in theology, but the implications are far reaching in developing a biblical philosophy of ministry. We must answer questions such as, “Why do we exist?” “What is our purpose?” And, “What are our priorities?”
