Timberlake Church - Sermon Podcast

Welcome to the Timberlake Church Online podcast! This week we begin a new series called, "Come to the Table." In this series we are exploring the meaning of Communion, what it means, what it is and how God uses communion in our lives. We start with a message from Cord Doss on how the sacrament of communion expresses God's grace to us in our lives. We are so glad you are joining us today.

As we finish our series on anxiety called, "Faith Over Fear," Pastor Brad speaks to the issue of being a people pleaser. It is so easy to feel like we have to say yes to people only to feel upset, used or angry later. We can overcome this by learning to set boundaries, saying no, and working to please God instead of men. This is the Timberlake Church Online podcast, thank you for joining us today.

Welcome to the third week of our series, "Faith Over Fear," this week Pastor Brad teaches us about the need to confront the things that make us anxious head on and not avoid them. The bible is clear that we are to take our concerns to God, but to do so we must be honest with ourselves about our fears first. This is the Timberlake Church Online podcast, thank you for joining us today.

In this the second week of our series, "Faith Over Fear," Pastor Brad speaks about the way culture has changed over time and how this can cause us to be anxious. God has a plan for our lives and there are habits we can develop to keep our minds aligned with the peace God desires for us. This is the Timberlake Church Online podcast, thank you for joining us today.

In Philippians 4:6 we are told, "Do not be anxious about anything...," but then life happens and anxiety starts knocking at our door. What does the Bible teach us about dealing with anxiety, how should we respond when it threatens our peace. Welcome to our latest series, "Faith Over Fear," starting with a message from Pastor Brad on this very question. This is the Timberlake Church Online podcast, thank you for joining us today.

As we finish our series "Stronger," Pastor Brad speaks on what it looks like to maintain our unity as we experience periods of growth. The temptation to resist change and to keep things the way we like them can be a hinderance to God's ability to use our church, and us, to reach new people if we don't actively cultivate a culture of unity in Christ. Let's learn about this together. This is the Timberlake Church Online podcast, thank you for joining us today.

In this, the third week of our series called, "Stronger" Pastor Brad speaks to us about the will of God for what His church should look like.

In this second week of our series, "Multiply" Pastor Brad talks to us about the importance of growth.

This is the Timberlake Church online podcast, let us know you were here today.

God's blessings are not only for us to enjoy, but serve a purpose greater as well.

Let's find out together. This is the Timberlake Church online podcast, let us know you were here today.

Welcome to our latest series called, "READY," where we will be helping to equip you for the time when you have to do just that, answer questions about your faith.

In Mark 12 Jesus told the Parable of the Tenants, a story of a vineyard and those who were to tend it. The vineyard owner sent his servants to collect an expected return from the harvest and the tenants killed them in return. We are tending to God's vineyard, we are expected to bear fruit and have something to show for our time as we work in the Kingdom of God. This week, Pastor Brad talks to us about being productive as we steward the time we have been given to work in this vineyard. This is the Timberlake Church Online podcast!

God cares about holiness. He is holy and it is because of this that sin keeps us from His presence. This week we begin our Lent season with the first message in a new series called, "The Week that changed everything." As we start this season of reflection and self-denial Pastor Brad speaks to us about Jesus flipping tables in the temple, in righteous anger at those who pervert the holiness of God by defiling His sacred place. 1 Corinthians tells us we are the temple, we should keep it a holy place for God.

Welcome to the Timberlake Church Online podcast! As we finish our two-week series on vision, "The Plans I Have for You," Pastor Brad reminds us that we are called to serve the body within our church and reach the lost beyond its walls. Mature Christians yield to the mission and instructions of Christ, while the immature are self-focused. We must mature spiritually to accomplish what we are called to do as followers of Jesus.

Welcome to the Timberlake Church Online podcast! We are kicking off a new series this week titled, "The Plans I Have for You." God does not put us where we are for our own sake, He has a plan to prosper us for a reason. We are to be Salt and Light to the world around us and that means we must yield our desires for His and make room for those He uses us to bring to Him. Pastor Brad walks us through this as he delivers a message from Jeremiah this week. We are so happy you are with us today.

This week as we worship online Pastor Brad brings us the conclusion to our series, "This is War." In this series we have explored the book of Ephesians and what it has to say about the spiritual forces of darkness and how we are to combat them; but how do we apply those words practically? What does it mean to us, our lives and the people we cared about? Pastor Brad speaks to these questions this week. This is the Timberlake Church online podcast... thank you for joining us this week!

As we join together in our homes on this snowy Sunday morning, Pastor Brad brings us a message about the unity of Communion. Welcome to the Timberlake Church Online podcast.

Ephesians tells us to put on the full armor of God and to make ourselves ready for the battle with the tools He has provided. Again we are reminded that we are at war with spiritual forces, not flesh and blood, and God already has the victory. This is the Timberlake Church Online podcast... thank you for joining us this week!

Our battle is not with flesh and blood, but against the spiritual powers behind the people and events we can observe. But make no mistake, we are at War. This is our second week of our series called, "This is War," and Pastor Brad is taking us into some uncomfortable places to speak plainly on what the Bible says about topics that have become culturally accepted, even when culture runs against God's Word. This is the Timberlake Church online podcast... thank you for joining us this week!

We are at War. The Bible tells us that we are in a battle with spiritual forces that we cannot see, but yet we feel their influence on our lives, our families, our communities and our world. We must prepare for the fight we are facing, and this week Pastor Brad is teaching us how to be equipped for the battlefield as we begin a new series called, "This is War." This is the Timberlake Church online podcast... thank you for joining us this week!

In a world of darkness we are called to be the Light of Christ. What does that look like? This week Debbie Lester speaks to us about being the light in the darkness and shining bright with the love of God. This is the Timberlake Church Online podcast... thank you for joining us this week!

Welcome to week four of our Advent series, "The Cradle and the Cross." As we finish this series Pastor Brad speaks to us about the gifts of the Magi who traveled to honor Jesus at his birth. They brought expensive, rare and precious gifts with them, gifts of worth and value. Jesus himself ultimately gave his own life as a ransom price for the world. What do we offer to him? What does our gift cost and what is it worth to us? Happy Advent! We are so glad you have joined us today. This is the Timberlake Church online podcast!

In this third week of our series, "The Cradle and the Cross," Pastor Brad speaks to us about the gift of salvation, as told in John in the story of Nicodemus the Pharisee. We must come to God and let go of our old life to be born again into the gift of eternal life through Jesus. He is more than a good teacher, He is God the messiah, the hope of our salvation, He is the only son of God sent to die for us. Happy Advent! We are so glad you have joined us today. This is the Timberlake Church online podcast!

It is week two in our series, "The Cradle and the Cross," and this week we hear a message from Pastor Brad on the sacrifice of Christmas. For Jesus to take on human form and be born into our world sacrifice was required. Mary, Joseph, and even Jesus had to make enormous sacrifices to ensure that a path to our salvation was possible. This is the true Christmas story, that God loves us enough to sacrifice everything for us to have a way to return into His presence. Happy Advent! We are so glad you have joined us today.

This week we begin a new series on the book of Revelation called "Heaven, Hell and the End Times." It seems like everyone is talking about the end times and wondering what will happen and when. The Bible is full of prophecies and mysteries surrounding the coming "Day of the Lord." Even Jesus told us to watch for the signs of his return, so we wait and watch. But the scripture tells us we have a job to do while we wait and that as we eagerly look for Christ's return we should remain alert and active doing the work of the kingdom, and reaching the lost with the gospel.

Thank you for joining us today.

This is the third week of our series, "Faith like a child" and in this series we have been revisiting Old Testament stories often told to children to look for the plan of salvation foreshadowed within.

This week Pastor Brad walks us through the story of Joseph, and we see much more than a multi-colored coat we see God's salvation plan through Jesus laid out in the life of a man who lived in ancient Egypt. We are glad you are with us today.

This week we hear a message from the book of Genesis as we continue our series, "Faith like a child." We often think of Old Testament stories as just that... stories.

Today we consider the story of Noah as Pastor Brad delivers a message on the meaning of God's salvation plan through Jesus foreshadowed in the harrowing tale of world-wide destruction and God's grace to Noah and his family through the provision of an ark. We are glad you are with us today.

Welcome to the Timberlake Church online podcast. We are so glad you are joining us this week as we start a new series called "Faith like a Child."
