In today's sermon in Zechariah 9, we'll see the prophet delve into prophecies about two different comings of a king. One in Judgement, and one in Salvation. Which are you prepared for?

SURVIVOR! Living a life as a follower of Jesus does not come naturally. Very little in our society points us to godliness or Christ-likeness; and the culture we live in continues to assault the foundations of what God reveals to be true. This should come as no surprise since Jesus said: If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. With all that in mind, you need to be trained as a Survivor! And a Victor! We begin this new series exploring what it takes to survive and grow as a Christian in a hostile world. Come experience some basic training and discipline yourself for the fight to come. You never know what will happen next. Be ready! Be strong! Be faithful!

The greatest promise keeper made some incredible promises about our future and the culmination of history. Discover in part 9 of our study through the book of Zechariah 8:1-23 how God intends to bless His people (including you).

In today's message in Zechariah 7, we'll discern the difference between religion and a relationship with God, and do a self evaluation to see if we've drifted from one end of the pendulum to the other.

There is something about good news that puts a mind at ease and makes our day. Whether it's the encouraging news from the doctor about your CT scan, or someone you have a crush on expressing mutual admiration. When a voice of authority says, “Rest assured, it’s going to turn out well.”, we breathe a joyful sigh of relief. In today's message in Zechariah 6, we're going to hear a voice of authority offer those same words of encouragement to us about our future!

In this message, pastor Reuben walks us through the powerful implication of what should be one of the simplest phrases - THANKS!

Your engagement is one of the most memorable events in your lifetime. "Will you marry me?" may be the most important question you will ever ask someone . Find out why.

There's great irony in the fact that we are living in uncertain times when so many seem remarkably certain, even confident about their views of the pandemic (even though those views may have shifted significantly and often). So, how do we live as ambassadors of Christ in the midst of the confusion? Find out in this heartfelt standalone sermon from pastor Armin Sommer!

The highly symbolic vision in Zechariah 5 concerns what God intends to do about evil. While it was primarily intended for the people of Zechariah's day, it also foreshadows events that will precede Christ’s return.. in our day!

Discouragement is symptomatic of a loss of hope. It arises during prolonged absences, illness, or social isolation (like now). Discouragement drags at our feet and clouds the brightest day with gloom, but in part 5 of our study through the book of Zechariah, pastor Armin will help us draw up a game plan anchored in God’s plan and purposes that helps us defeat discouragement!

The prophet Zechariah's vision starts out basically posing one of the biggest and most important questions in all existence... "How can a morally defiled and sinful people be made fit to appear in the presence of God?" The answer is - on our own, we cannot. On our own, the situation is hopeless. There is ONE, however, in whom the solution lies. Discover who in today's message - part 4 of our study through the book of Zechariah.

Often in a relationship, the value you feel about yourself is based upon what the other person projects upon you. It's natural for us to assess or even accept our value in this way, however the problem with that formula is ---- (that appraiser) because of their own issues, the other person in your life is not always the best appraiser. Find out in part 3 of our "Will You Marry Me?" Series where your true value should come from!

Our tendency is generally to focus on our present trials. We talk the about quarantine and financial chaos, which no one considered a year ago. The darkness of misfortune tends to eclipse the brightness of hope. Yet, we find that God holds all of history in the palm of His hands. Find out in today's message how God intends to guide history even as it unfolds.

What happens when God's promises don't pan out as expediently as you had hoped? In the 2nd part of this series through the Old Testament book of Zechariah, we will learn how to hold tightly to hope when we find ourselves living in the gap between God's promises and the payoff to those promises!

In part one of this series through the book of Zechariah, we'll learn that even if you have trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior, there is a tendency to drift back into old behaviors, habits, and attitudes. God’s people 2500 years ago frequently experienced the temptation to go back to old patterns, that is, until God sent a prophet to get their attention. Is God trying to get our attention again today amidst a pandemic?

#Easter #ChurchOnline Only one Messianic movement did not come to an end. In fact, it rapidly transformed the world. Within 300 years it had spread through Middle East, Europe, N Africa, and into Asia. At the heart of this movement is a person, Jesus Christ, the One whose resurrection we celebrate today!

In the gospel of Mark 15:22-39, we discover this essential truth, that "Direct access to God is yours for the asking." To see that more clearly, in this sermon, Pastor Armin will help us consider two people who played unique roles on that day: the High Priest and the Roman Centurion.
