Why Are You Here?
Guest preacher and director of EMU International encourages you to ask yourself, "Why am I here?" People throughout the centuries have struggled with this question. Yet, even after all this time, people still struggle to find an adequate answer. But why do people look to themselves for the…

How to Rejoice Always, Part 2
Last week Pastor Tim discussed what joy is. Today, he explores what we can do to actually cultivate joy in our lives. That may seem odd, but we actually have control over how much joy we experience. And we do that not by following certain steps, but by changing our focus and understanding to…

Exodus 3:7-22 What is the Lord's Name?
In this part of the account of the burning bush, God reveals himself to Moses by giving his name: "I AM WHO I AM." But what does he mean by that? Additionally, God reveals His plan to Moses which will lead to Israel's deliverance out of Egypt.
-
How to Rejoice Always, Part 1
The Bible commands us to rejoice at all times. But isn't that naïve? After all, don't we have justifiable reasons to be stressed, anxious, and sometimes depressed? Don't we have good reason to complain when things that are going wrong? Even though there are many things in life that may…

Exodus 2:23-3:6 How Exodus Fulfills the Promises to Abraham
Today we come to one of the most known passages in the Bible: Moses and the burning bush. From the beginning of this account, we can't help but wonder why God chose Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt. Was there anything special about Moses and Israel? Were they a particularly godly? Or was there...
-
The Day of the Lord, Part 2
Do you live your life like you're in the middle of a war? That might seem like a strange question, but the Bible makes it clear that we are constantly engaging in spiritual warfare. Your awareness of this fact very well could explain why you're either living a victorious Christian life or falling...
-
Exodus 2:11-22 Was Moses a Murderer?
Many of us assume that God cannot use us because either our past or current situation. If that were the case, Moses would have certainly been disqualified to be used in God's plan. After killing a man, he flees to a foreign country, assuming that he would live out his life as a nomad and an…

The Day of the Lord, Part 1
What is the 'day of the Lord' and what will it be like? Many people in our day and age, even Christians, don't think about it often. But is that wise? If the day of the Lord is what the Bible says it is, how then should we live?
-
Exodus 2:1-10 Moses, the New Noah
Moses is born. If you know the rest of the story, this event is the turning point that changes the course of Israel's time in Egypt. Our familiarity with the story may actually prevent us from seeing God's hand behind it and a correlation to another familiar story from mankind's early history.
-
Why We Must Believe in Hell
Hell is a difficult doctrine, and one that we often avoid talking about. In fact, many Christians have decided to disregard it all together. So why should we believe it? To start, Jesus did. And since he did, how must we think about it and live?
-
Exodus 1:15-22 Does the Lord Ever Call us to Lie?
Is it ever permissible to sin? In our passage today, not only does it seem like it's ok, God actually rewards people not only for deception, but blatant lying. How do we make sense of this? What does this teach us about God? And what practical lessons can we take to apply to our own lives?
-
The Absolute Indispensability of Prayer, Part 2
Why don't we pray? Or, more directly, why don't you pray? The reasons are likely endless, but can be summed up in four primary excuses: We don't have time; We don't feel like it; We don't think it changes anything; Or we don't actually know God as Father. Do any of those describe you? If you…

God's Promises Fulfilled Through Satan's Strategies
Much of what we know about Exodus, unfortunately, is from movies - not the Bible. While those movies are fun and dramatic, it's essential to understand what the Bible says about the Hebrew nation during this time. This is how we begin our study through this beloved historical book.
-
The Absolute Indispensability of Prayer
Prayer is a complex (and potentially confusing) subject. But at the same time, it's very simple. Perhaps many of our problems with prayer come from our own misunderstanding of what we think it ought to be. So what is prayer? And why should we do it?
-
Seeing the Sword, the Sacrifice, and the Substitute
We all deserve God's wrath. We may not want to think about that; after all, isn't God merciful, gracious and abounding in love? Yes, but he is also holy and just, and cannot allow sin to go unpunished? How does God balance the two? How does He display mercy while at the same time executing…

Everybody Makes Disciples; Christians Make Disciples of Jesus
Without exception, everyone is a disciple and a disciple-maker. As Christians, however, are supposed to be disciples of Christ who are making disciples of Christ. If someone examined your life and how you used your time, would they say you're a disciple of Jesus, or someone else? How can you…

Mark 5:21-43 When Jesus Lets Things Get Worse
Many of us know the story of Jesus healing the woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. However, this is often taken out of the context of Jesus going to Jairus's house to heal his daughter. Seeing it in the greater context helps us see who Jesus actually is.
-
Our First and Most Important Mission Field
The view of children over the past half-century has changed. However, how God has viewed children has been consistent since Adam and Eve. As Christians, how should we view children and what are our responsibilities to them?
-
Don't Starve Your Soul!
Why bother spending regular time in the Bible? Isn't going to church a couple of times a week enough for spiritual growth? Well, consider this: Would you only feed your body as often as you feed your soul? Of course not. If you did, you'd suffer from severe malnourishment. So why our we okay with...
-
He Who Has Been Born King of the Jews
In our last Advent message, Pastor Tim looks at the wise men/s visit to Jesus. They traveled hundreds of miles to find the King of the Jews. But why? What about Jesus caused them to make that trip? What did they know about him before they met him? They found meaning in that baby on that first...
-
The Word Took on Flesh
Who was that baby born in the manger named Jesus? While you can look at different passages in the Bible, the first verses of John may be the most complete and most concise explanation of who Jesus is and why he came. So when you celebrate Christmas next year, take time and consider, do you see…
more -
The Virgin Shall Conceive
Do you realize that Jesus is spoken of in the Old Testament? Not is there prophecy to identify Him as the Messiah, but who He is and the nature of his character is spoken of as well. When we keep an eye out when we read Scripture, we may find that the most life-changing truths are found in the…
more -
Mark 5:1-20 A Demonic Army Cowers before Jesus
Jesus was well known for casting out demons, and in this passage he comes to the one known as 'Legion.' What does this interaction tell us about Jesus? What does it tell us about demons? And what does this mean for us today?
-
When Jesus Comes for His People, Part 2
What would you do if you knew that Jesus was returning this very hour? How would you live? Who would you contact? The truth is that we do not know the day or the hour that he will come, but his coming will be sudden and unexpected. The fact is that we should live with an awareness of his imminent...
-
Mark 4:35-41 Creation Obeys Jesus
We've come to one of Jesus' best known miracles: Jesus calming the storm. The typical lesson we glean from this is that we all go through trials and difficult situations, yet we can trust Jesus through them. While that is true, is there not more to this passage than meets the eye? What is Mark...
-
When Jesus Comes for His People
The Bible has made it clear that Jesus will come again. While the details about His return differ among believers, the fact that He will return is undeniable. According to Paul's letter to the Thessalonians, what nondebatable truths does Paul say will happen to believers and unbelievers when…

The Supernatural Power of Ordinary Christian Living
What is the first thing you think of when you think of the word 'supernatural'? Most likely, what didn't come to mind was 'ordinary Christian living.' But is that really something that is truly supernatural? What does that really look like?
-
The Incomprehensible, Invincible Power of the Gospel
As we look at two more of Jesus' parables in Mark, we explore how the gospel is spread. How does God work in evangelism? What is our role to play? And what happens when the gospel reaches the hearts of those who hear?
-
God's Will is Sexual Purity, Pt 2
How does someone become sexually pure? While there may be steps to take to avoid sexual temptation, it really begins with becoming spiritual mature and having an intimate relationship with God. Are you struggling with sexual temptation? If so, do you know God? How is your walk with God?
-
Mark 4:1-20 Why Some Believe and Some Don't
Jesus is well-known for teaching in parables. Today, we look at what is called "The Parable of the Sower." This parable is essential for understanding how evangelism works in the lives of the hearers.
-
The Joy of Praying for Those You Love
Do you find it hard to pray for others? I think most people would admit that they do struggle with that particular aspect of their prayer life. So how do we cultivate that area of prayer? What should we even prayer for? And what does prayer for others accomplish both in you and those whom you are...
-
Mark 3:31-35 Who is the Family of God?
Finishing up Mark 3, Pastor Tim looks at a very short passage that seems to indicate that Jesus is denying who his family is. So who is actually Jesus's mother and brothers?
-
The Gospel Transforms Everything it Touches
Is the Gospel changing you? We may think (either consciously or not) that the Gospel is only necessary for salvation, but that's not true. The Gospel not only saves, but it transforms you and your heart toward others. When your heart for others is transformed by the love of God, you'll desire to...
-
Mark 3:22-30 What is the Unforgivable Sin?
There is a lot of confusion these days about the unforgivable sin. What is it? Have we committed it? How do we know if we are committing it? With this in mind, the Scribes and the Pharisees have witnessed Jesus' miracles and heard his teachings. While they've been physically close to Jesus…
more -
You Were Dead, But God...
Are you dead? This question is very straightforward, but what if the question was "Are you spiritually dead?" How would you answer that and what can you do to change it? "But God..." These two seemingly small words have changed the course of human history, and they can change your life as well.
-
Mark 3:13-21 Jesus' Apostles and Jesus' Family
As we have seen, by now Jesus has been accumulating a large following. And at this point Jesus appoints twelve to be his closest disciples and eventual apostles. But his family thought that Jesus (including his mother) thought that he was crazy. How is it possible to be so close to Christ but not...
-
Saving Faith is Suffering Faith, Pt 2
This past week in Australia, Andrew Thorburn was hired and then asked to either resign or revoke his church membership. What did he do? In the second part of this mini-series, Pastor Tim looks why it's essential to be firmly grounded in the Christian faith before the difficult times come. If you...
-
Mark 3:1-12 Jesus Provokes Controversy
As we continue through Mark's fast-paced gospel, Jesus is once again confronted by the Jewish leaders. This time, Jesus performs a miracle and heals a man in the synagogue. Why? Is he simply trying to be confrontational? Additionally, we see that as his ministry continued, the number of people…
more -
Saving Faith is Suffering Faith
It is often assumed that Christianity promises a smooth and easy life (and it is often presented that way in our gospel presentations). However, at the heart of Christianity is a blood stained cross. Additionally, Satan is described as the ruler of this world and so the world is inherently…
more -
The Urgency of Gospel Ministry
What is the greatest sin that someone can commit? While many things may immediately come to mind, was one of your thoughts not sharing the gospel with an unbeliever? The world's population is growing, and what that means is that there are billions of people who have yet to hear the name of Jesus....
-
Mark 2:21-28 The Challenges of Transitioning to New Covenant Worship
Immediately after Jesus comments on why his disciples aren't fasting, he gives some metaphors about cloth and wineskins. For most of us, that seems like a confusing and unrelated transition. So what is Jesus talking about? After this event, we see the Jewish leaders continue to question Jesus and...
-
The Gift of Suffering for God's Word
How ought we view the Bible? Is taking it seriously too radical? Is it okay to disagree (or disregard) certain parts? Does it matter how a Christian views the Bible - after all, isn't a Christian defined by putting their faith, hope, and trust in Jesus? So what does it matter how we view the rest...
-
Mark 2:1-12 Jesus Proves He's God
As we come to the second chapter of Mark, we look at the familiar passage of a paralyzed man being lowered from a roof only to find that instead of getting his body healed, he gets his sins forgiven! As the religious leaders rightly point out, only God can forgive sins. So was this blasphemy? As…
more -
A Worthy Gospel Ministry, Part 4
In the fourth part of our mini-series, we look at two more characteristics of a worthy gospel ministry: that ministry isn't easy and how it ought to led by godly examples. Unfortunately, many ministries these days are more interested in their building their own kingdom than God's.
-
Mark 1:35-45 Jesus' Prayer, Preaching, and Pity
Jesus prioritized many things in his life, particularly spending time with God, sharing the good news of God, and having compassion on those in need. What He prioritized, we often neglect. How then, can we better imitate Christ?
-
Why We Baptize Like We Do
Today we celebrate the baptism of two adult believers. At our church, we do full immersion believer baptism. But why? What is the Scriptural support for doing things the way we do?
-
Our Motivation for Missions
Does our motivation matter? We go to church, read the Bible, and pray, but why? As we will see from missionary Caleb Wagner, our motivation for everything we do as Christians matters. What we will also see is missions isn't just a command, but it's a byproduct of knowing God and worshiping God.
-
Mark 1:29-34 Why Does Jesus Do Miracles?
In this passage we see Jesus perform a healing and more casting out demons. As Jesus' reputation spread, people began to flock to him. But did they come to him because they recognized him as the promised Messiah?
-
A Worthy Gospel Ministry, Part 3
Our world is facing a loneliness epidemic that is ever increasing. This is understandable considering God created people for relationships. How should relationships within the church be characterized and developed?
-
Mark 1:21-28 Jesus' Word Conquers Demons
As Jesus began his ministry and started to get a following, he regularly went to the synagogue to teach. During one of these times, a demon possessed man approaches Jesus. And with one short statement, Jesus shows himself to be the Son of God.
