Micah Klutinoty kicking off an Advent collection of messages, His Name Shall Be! Isaiah 9:6—Starting out, we find that Christian hope is trusting in what the Wonderful Counselor promised to do, proved to do, and promises to come and do in the future! 3 ways to hope in the Wonderful Counselor this Christmas— // Take every weakness to Jesus (Heb 4:14-16) // Obey the example and counsel of Jesus (Heb 5:7-10) // Anticipate the promised arrival of Jesus (Heb 10:23-25) For the believer, we are back in the days of Isaiah and King Ahaz, looking ahead at what seems impossible! Because Jesus came the first time, we are even more sure of the hope that he will come again!

Micah Klutinoty in the series, Riches In Christ! Ephesians 3:14-21—The power of God in and through believers ensures there will always be glory in the Church! The longer you walk with the Lord, the more you will see this world has nothing eternal to offer. So now is the time to give up control. Now is the time to grasp the love of Jesus and move toward the fullness of God. But God, who raises the dead, is able to do all of these things and even more—so you must desperately pray and die to yourself.

Micah Klutinoty in the series, Riches In Christ! Ephesians 3:1-13—The gospel reveals the mystery that God’s glory is displayed through the Church that Jesus Christ is building. God’s eternal purpose was fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus and forevermore God’s glory will be on display in all the world through the church. Because of the gospel, we’ve been let into the mystery of His glory and we don’t have to tip toe in. We can run with boldness, confidence, and full on access to the Glory of God knowing that we will never be rejected by Him because of the cross and because Jesus is our high priest.

Brent Thomas in the series, Riches In Christ! Ephesians 2:19-22—We are welcomed into a new home built on a firm foundation to be completed as God’s future dwelling place. Brothers and sisters in Christ—you are a part of something much bigger than yourself. And there is something that happens when the people of God gather together that cannot happen by yourself. God’s desire is that we would be joined together and that would be built together into a dwelling place for God. And this is not a one time occurrence. It is a continually process of “being built” as we find in Ephesians 2.

Tyler Holder in the series, Riches In Christ! Ephesians 2:11-18—As a disciple I am God’s masterpiece showcasing peace and unity to a hostile, divided world lacking hope. As disciples of Jesus, we have all been guilty of being far off. And yet through the gospel of peace we are brought into a body that gives us access to the Creator of the universe! The peace of God given through the gospel brings unity. The greatest external expression of the inward transformation that has happened in the life of a disciple is being able to showcase God’s peace and our unity to a world in need.

Micah Klutinoty in the series, Riches In Christ! Ephesians 2:4-10—The way the believer lives, should reflect the glory of the Artist. God’s glorious grace reconciles sinful man to a Holy God. Grace is a gift of God to the walking dead, to live eternally through faith and walk in good works instead. Many want the benefits of grace, without walking by faith in the finished work of Christ at the cross. Saving faith is recognizing there is nothing we can do, but believe in what God has already done through Jesus. You have been re-created and made a masterpiece for a purpose, to take hold of your positional perfection in Christ and walk in good works.

Micah Klutinoty in the series, Riches In Christ! Ephesians 1:15-23—Perhaps the two most important weapons that the believer has, besides the Word of God, are worship and prayer. It is my prayer that we would have a conscious, experiential knowledge of God’s power here and now. That we might have a faith worth hearing about, that we might actually stand against sin, that we might be strong in the Lord. The power to live this way is available and this power is accessed through prayer!

Micah Klutinoty in the series, Riches In Christ! Ephesians 1:11-14—God knew you’d struggle to hope in Christ and Believe the Gospel everyday, but He gives you a Helper that guarantees you can make it through! With the Holy Spirit, you have been signed, sealed, and you will be safely delivered to your Father who is in Heaven. Daily, you can live like Jesus is all you need. You’ve obtained an inheritance for all who believe in the Gospel and are in Christ Jesus.

Micah Klutinoty in the series, Riches In Christ! Ephesians 1:7-10—You’ve been let in on a mystery! The mystery is the purpose of God’s redemption—to unite all things in Him, things in heaven and things on earth! Jesus Christ is the goal of history. Everything is moving toward Jesus and centered on Jesus. He is the reason you’ve been redeemed and set free. He must be the first love of all who will come to Him. So repent and believe. Call on the Lord who is worthy to be praised.

Micah Klutinoty in the series, Riches In Christ! Ephesians 1:3-6—God loved me before I loved Him so that one day I could love Him to the praise of His glorious grace.

Micah Klutinoty launching this year’s theme, Be Strong in the Lord! We are digging into the book of Ephesians learning how the whole armor of God must be our habit each new day. It’s when we think we are strong that we will get our eyes off of the source of our strength. It’s when we think we are strong that we will lose our first love. Our only hope is in the Lord. So we must armor up in the strength of His might.

Brent Thomas // John 17—as we head into this next year, we are reminded as a church of our reliance on the Lord through continual prayer. We need Him daily. Brent guides us in this message as we continue in the spirit of prayer by looking at one of—if not the most—powerful prayers in the Bible.

All church gathering + Church Rally! Micah Klutinoty wraps up the series, Summer in the Psalms! Psalm 133—Our unity as the gathered church is a rehearsal for the glorious unity that is to come! Every tribe, tongue, and nation, will stand in the glorious presence of the Lamb, and God will rejoice over them with loud singing! And nothing will compare to the day when the people of God are welcomed into the City of God!

Tyler Holder in the series, Summer in the Psalms! Psalm 67—God desires to know you. His blessings and His Presence have always been intended to draw the nations to Himself. May Gospel City continue to be a city within the city that is working towards the redemption of every people group, every tongue, every tribe, every neighborhood, every person in our city and in the world.

Mitch Helmkamp in the series, Summer in the Psalms! Psalm 19—The universe was created to be a theater for God’s glory—we are spectators and actors in His great story. And yet every single one of us have been born into this world thinking that creation exists for our glory! In this Psalm, we are encouraged to look up at creation, look down into God’s Word, and look within allowing the Word of God to transform us into worshipers of God?

Jamie Maxim in the series, Summer in the Psalms! Psalm 139—Often times what we need is not a solution to our presenting problem, but rather the knowledge of who God is and how he is involved in our lives. Our God is All Knowing, All Present, All Creative, All Holy and He knows what is best for us even if it doesn’t feel the best for us in the moment.

Ben Hurt in the series, Summer in the Psalms! Psalm 77—Have you ever asked, “Why, God?” How do you respond when the unfathomable happens to you, when tragedy strikes deep and the questions about God come to your mind? The problem is not having questions. God is big enough for your questions. Allow your questions to drive you towards seeking the Lord no matter what.

Stephen Love in the series, Summer in the Psalms! Psalm 8—Yahweh, the One who is set apart, the One who is wholly other, the one that we can’t even speak of, He is my Lord. He is the same one who is near to me, the same one who puts His praise on my lips, the same one in whom I take refuge.

Micah Klutinoty in the series, Summer in the Psalms! Psalm 1+2—The Psalms help the people of God find their hope in God. Everyone wants blessing but not everyone will do things God’s way. If God’s way from God’s Word becomes your meditation every day and every night—it will render sin more and more powerless in your life and lead to true blessing.
