Resurrection Sunday: Christ Is Alive!
Monday Apr 01, 2024
Monday Apr 01, 2024
In this Resurrection Sunday sermon, Pastor Kohl speaks on the hope of the resurrection. We see in Christ's resurrection our true hope. He, the God who created life, who it was impossible for death to hold, promises that this life is not the end. Paul says that Christ has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. It is because of this reality that our labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Sunday Feb 11, 2024
Sunday Feb 11, 2024
In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues on in Acts to Acts 19:11-20. Where we see the story of the seven sons of Sceva. Paul was able to do great miracles, and these men tried to replicate it using the name of Jesus as a magic phrase. It didn't work. What do we learn about the Spiritual Struggle from this passage? Why did this account cause the believers in Ephesus to get so serious about removing witchcraft from their lives that they destroyed 50,000 pieces of silver worth of books relating to magic and witchcraft? How do we respond when we see the realities of the spiritual world?

Acts 18:1-19; Breaking New Ground
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Monday Jan 29, 2024
In this sermon, Pastor Kohl continues his series on Acts. In Acts 18, we find Paul continuing his missionary journey in Corinth, where he appears to run out of money (perhaps his own savings, or contributions from other churches) and we find Paul becoming a tent maker to survive and continue his mission of sharing the gospel with others. It must have been discouraging. In the letters to the Corinthians, we see a lack of value for the work and truth Paul brought. Yet, Paul didn't quit, he kept pressing on.
