Baptisms Service | April 23, 2025

Bob closes out our last series of the semester by talking about how we can love our neighbors like Jesus does. We focus on the parable of the Good Samaritan and how we can live likewise.

God is generous in nature and He has invited us to be like Him in that. When we give sacrificially to the things of God, we partner with His plan to restore all things. Sacrificial generosity is a cost of following Jesus with eternal rewards.

Jesus said that we will know the truth and the truth will set us free. So what's true when it comes to anxiety? What's true when it comes to pornography? Let's get free and live abundantly.

Hannah talks about how we can apply the wisdom found in Romans 12:2 to our relationships with social media and other ways we can often be tempted. This wisdom keeps us from being formed into the image of the world and helps us pursue being formed into the likeness of Jesus.

In this message, Bob teaches from Matthew’s gospel how Jesus’ ministry consisted of preaching, teaching, healing and deliverance, and that He sent His followers out to do the same.

When we get “saved”, we get brought into right relationship with God. Being in right relationship with Him makes us His children. Being His children makes each of us part of His family. Each of us being part of His family makes us family together.

This week, we had the honor of welcoming Hope Heals author, speaker, and stroke survivor, Kathryn Wolf to speak to us. Listen and be encouraged as Kathryn shares what she's learned about how we have much greater capacity to do hard things than we think.

In tonight’s message, Bob talks about what God thinks about material success and how we can pursue that in a way that actually blesses us and others.
