Have you ever walked into a room and sized up who in the room held the “power”?  In this podcast we will discuss the “Finite Power Game”  that is played by people and how we can bow out of that game into an “Infinite Power Game” with our God.  Join us and listen here!

This Sunday we begin a brand-new series titled “Nameless”. In “Nameless”, we will begin our journey through the book of Exodus. This Sunday we will look at Exodus 1:1-8 and the names listed here. How we find or lose our identity in the names with which we identify? What are some real world applications to honoring the name God has given to us and how can we live out our name in Him?  Join us on this journey!

Have you ever forgotten someone’s name?  How about your own?  This world bombards us with false identities and confuses us to the point that we forget WHO we belong to.  Odds are that you could use being reminded every now and again.  If this is you, listen to this podcast.  Enjoy!

Do you feel like you are on a human hamster wheel with the problems in your life and in the world?  The Bible addresses this feeling in scripture… “There is nothing new under the sun.”  However, there is hope my friends!  The New Year brings to mind the thought of starting “new” and letting go of the past.  We address these thoughts and more with scripture, prayer, and worship.  We hope you find this podcast uplifting.

Today we talk about the beautiful ministry that is Studio 149.  Every year they put on a spectacular performance of The Nutcracker Sweets that leaves their guests filled with the Christmas spirit.  Join us as we discuss this ministry and how we are partnering with them in ministry.

Teamwork is essential when moving ministry forward. This Sunday we will be discussing ministry as a whole, the responsibilities of our ministry teams, what it means to be “called” to a ministry, and how we are called to move them forward.

We will be discussing the plan for a special outreach project on Christmas Eve.  Promise is partnering with Studio 149 to make this Christmas extra special for local families.  We hope you can join us to learn more about this project and join in the joy of giving Christmas away.

It is important to take time out of your busy day to give thanks to God for the fruit you see in your life.  Listen as Pastor Graf shows us where in the Bible it speaks to giving thanks.  Additionally, listen to testimonies from the church of times where individuals feel thankful.  We hope this gives you hope and encouragement to stop in give thanks in your own life.

The last step in our Connect series is looking at Matthew 18 where Jesus deals with taking the sinner through excommunication.  Matthew records Jesus saying “treat them as you would a sinner or a tax collector,” the very thing Matthew was when Jesus called him.  What does this say about how we deal with those with whom we have a broken connection?

It seems simple enough but order matters, especially when dealing with a confrontation about sin.  Matthew 18.16 comes after Matthew 18.15 and following that order saves us from heartache.  Listen to learn how.
