This is Matt's Farewell Address.

5 reasons why you should evangelize

Sorry, but I had technical difficulties in the beginning, so I only recorded the last half of the sermon.

Chad shows us how the church needs to be unified. Paul's instructions shows us unity through exhortation, examples, and explanations. Chad then shows us the practical application for unity in the church.

Jay Zee first emphasizes the importance of history to understand the books of the Bible, then gets into background of 1 Corinthians.

Matt builds off his previous message about God's omnipresence and shows how God is omniscience (all-knowing). He shows that God does not learn, He knows everything, and He intimately knows you (all people).

Felix taught out of 2 Timothy 2:1-13 and showed us that a faithful servant resembled that of a teacher, soldier, athlete, and farmer. He then showed us motivations to be faithful in God.

Chad talks about what man needs to do to be saved. It's not only belief in Jesus Christ, but repentance and submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Paul shares that the wrath of God is necessary for the righteousness of God. If there's no wrath, there's no justice, and hence, no love. The wrath of God is what we deserve, and yet, He poured it out on His Son, so that we may not experience His wrath, but experience His love and mercy.

Andrew shares the difficult truths of the providence of God. God ordains all things for His glory, even sin and evil.

Matt focuses on Psalm 139 as he shows us the omnipresence of God. He gives us three truths of God's omnipresence: the fullness, the vastness, and the closeness of His omnipresence. Then Matt shows how we can apply the fact that God is always there and how it drives us to holy living. He even applies this truth to the unbeliever.

Note: There are three gaps in the recording because for some reason, my program stalled. They happen at time 6:38, 14:14 and 35:54. Sorry about that.

Greg continues on God's grace by finishing his point about how God's grace is a gift. He shares two more points to give insight on His grace. First, His grace is transforming. And in his final point, he tells us that God's grace provides hope.

Greg shares with us another attribute of God - God's grace. In this first of a two part sermon, he gives us three points about God's grace. He tells us how His grace is abundant. Then he shows how His grace is manifold. Finally, he reveals that God's grace is a gift. (Note: There's a little part that's missing because the battery on the wireless mic ran out. And when I was switching batteries, I turned on the handheld mic to try to catch what Greg was saying, so that part came out staticky. Hope you don't mind.)

Matt shares how we can appreciate the goodness of God more in our lives. He focuses on Psalm 100 and shows us how He is approachable, how His goodness is inherent, and how His goodness is predictable (meaning it's unchanging, so that you know that whatever God does, it's always going to be good).

Patrick shares about God's holiness, and what our reaction to it should be. He first shows us what holiness is and what it isn't. Then he shows what holiness causes in us. Finally, he directs us to the results of holiness, the application in our lives.

Felix presents three aspects of God's love to motivate us to pursue a love unlike the world. He shares with us, first, the object of God's love, second, God's love for humanity, and third, God's love for the elect.

Matt Floreen shares his testimony.

Matt first defines sovereignty and then shows us how God is sovereign over all things. He owns what He rules, and rules what He owns. Matt goes through the explanation of the sovereignty of God, the execution of the sovereignty of God, and how we need to embrace the sovereignty of God.

Cary tells us what's been going on in Germany and his ministry there. He shows us a video and shares how we can be praying for them and supporting them.

During the Breakfast With The Greens, there was a question and answer time with Cary and Lois. They shared on issues on singleness, marraige, and ministry.

Cary and Lois share their testimony and tells how God, in His sovereignty, orchestrated their vastly different lives and brought them together. Their lives and what they went through can only be by God's doing.

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28

Jon begins the Attributes of God Series with an introduction and shares why we are beginning this series.

Matt Daniger shares his testimony, about how God changed his life and brought him to Christ.

Pat Howell does dialogue teaching (at least tries to) to show us what needs to be done in serving the local church, and ultimately serving God. But you can't serve God unless you believe in Him. Hebrews 11:67 "And without faith it is impossible to please Him..."

Jon shares how we need to be humble in the midst of trials. He shows us 3 ways we can do that by: 1. Remember who's the boss (who God is), 2. Relinquish your grip, and 3. Recite His character.

Matt shares how man needs humility and how man should display humility. He focuses on 4 commands about how to be humble like Christ from Philippians 2:3-4.

Greg shares how the purpose of prayer is to give God glory. And when you pray, you need to come before God with humbleness. Greg focuses on the Prayer of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1.

Felix shares how holiness ties in with humility.

Pride is the root of all sin.
Pride is blinding and deceptive
Pride is idolatrous
Pride is damning
