Back to the Basics: Back to Grace (Reverend Ross Henzi)God looked inside of you and me and saw that there was nothing we could do to save ourselves. There was absolutely no way we were ever going to be able to meet his demand for perfection. As a result, our eternal future didn’t look very good. So, God did something about it. He took it upon himself. He sent his son. He had Jesus live the perfect life we never could. He then had his son give his life in payment for your sins and mine. As a result of Jesus’ death and resurrection, the ransom has been paid. Our sins are gone! We are once more considered to be perfect in God’s eyes. Again, we didn’t have anything to do with it. God in his love and mercy worked out our salvation. He made it happen. That is Step 2 in the back to the basics. It is so very important that you understand both Step 1 (we are dead in sin) and Step 2 (God saved us).

Back to the Basics: Back to WorshipPastor Nathan Moldenhauer“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord!” God bless us as we continue to go back to the basics. God bless us as we both go back ourselves and invite others too to go back to worship. God grant it. Amen.

As we continue with our sermon series, Back to the Basics, we hear about an amazing gift we’ve all been given, but unfortunately it doesn’t always get used, at least not the way it was intended. We don’t mean that to be the case. We recognize its importance. We understand how amazing it is. But for some reason, it gets neglected more than we care to admit. The gift we’ve been given is prayer. It’s an amazing gift! It’s a wonderful gift! But can we say we put it to use as God intended? If you do - that’s wonderful! Keep up the good work! But if your prayer life isn’t what it could be - this is a time to go back to the basics. May God the Holy Spirit lead us to once again to appreciate the gift we’ve been given.

BACK TO THE BASICS: BACK TO THE WORD (Reverend Ross Henzi)You and I are sinful human beings. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that we can do to contribute to or to earn our salvation. The only thing we deserve is death and damnation. Ah, but God the Father could not bear that thought. That’s why he sent his Son. Jesus came to do what we could not. He lived the perfect life God demands. He then gave up his life in payment for your sins and mine - for the sins of the entire world. Because of Jesus, all those who believe in him as their Lord and Savior have once more been made perfect in God’s sight. Because of Jesus, we now live with the confidence that one day, heaven will be our home.Keep it simple. When life feels overwhelming, when your faith feels crowded, when you’re not sure what matters most, come back to the basics. Come back into God’s word. Come back to Christ. Everything else in our lives is simply meaningless. And it has to go. May God enable us to see that and live it. In his name we pray, Amen.

Bold for the Only Name that Saves~Pastor Nathan MoldenhauerWhat Jesus promised his disciples, he promises you. Whether it’s a trial before Jewish rulers and elders, or you feel like you’re on trial, God the Holy Spirit speaks through you – using the very Word and name that saved you.So, let’s try this again. You’re at that birthday party. You’re in the break room. You get coffee with your sister. “You still go to church?” “Aren’t all religions the same?” “Don’t I just need to be a good person?” You know what to say. And even better, you have the boldness to say it. “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” “That name is Jesus.” God make you bold for the only name that saves! Amen.

"The Making of a Bold and Confident Confession"Reverend Ross HenziTo you who are beginning your spiritual journey - as well as to those of you who have been on it for some time - keep holding onto your faith...keep living your faith...and keep sharing your faith. And when that journey proves to be tiresome or difficult (because it will), be that little engine that could. I think I can. I know I can. And I will.
