Pulpit Power Podcast

Before we came to Christ we were lost and at some point we became a seeker. We wanted to seek the truth and find God. In Acts 8:34-40, the Ethiopian man was seeking and he wanted to know about Jesus. Philip told him about Jesus and he got saved. Once he was saved he asked Philip about baptism because he wanted to follow after Jesus in scriptural baptism. Baptism is a command but does not save you. There are people out in this world today who are seeking Christ, like the Ethiopian man. If they come up to you or you speak to them, tell them and let them know about Christ. Please join Pastor Scheving as he preaches on “A Seeker Finds God.”

We need to draw nigh to God. In Acts 8:30-31, Philip asks the Ethiopian if he understood what he read. The Ethiopian said “How can I, except some man should guide me?” The Ethiopian desired for Philip to be a shepherd to him and teach him the scriptures. As Philip gave the gospel to the Ethiopian we should be doing that with those around us. We need to take the time and be a witness of Christ to others. If we are saved we are to be a light for Christ. Please join Pastor Scheving as he preaches on “Can I Get a Witness?” 

Back in Bible times Christians were actually persecuted for the sake of the gospel. We as Christians don’t have to really worry about that right now, but as we get closer to the return of Christ the more likely that possibility will become. So listen to this message from Pastor Tony Scheving “Standing Alone for Christ”

As a church grows growing pains or problems can occur, but a healthy organization means growth. It is hard to please everyone because everyone is different. When things do not go a person's way some people start to murmur about the problem. But murmuring is often against God and instead of that we should realize that maybe the change or decision that was made is better than the original way of what we used to do. In everything we are to bring God glory. Please join Pastor Scheving as he preaches on "Growing Pains."

As humans our tendency is to think about ourselves and get things that we want. We need to realize that it is not about us but about God and all the things that he has given us and done for us. We need to remind ourselves to be thankful for everything that we have and to be content with what we have. God loads us with many benefits in life and therefore we really do not have any reason to complain about things in our life. God deserves thank you from us and we need to acknowledge His goodness towards us. The best representation of what God has done for us is Jesus and that alone we should be grateful. Please join Pastor Scheving as he preaches on “Remembering to Be Thankful.”

As Christians are we to obey man or God? We should definitely obey God before man. In Acts 5:17-29 it explains how all twelve apostles were in prison but God let them all out. Once the apostles were released they went back to the temple to preach to the others just as God wanted them to do. The officers of the temple had to be careful when they would take them away because they knew if they took the apostles harshly it would cause a riot. The apostles obeyed God and as they obeyed Him we to are supposed to obey the highest authority. Please join Pastor Scheving as he preaches on "Obeying Man or God?"

The church is here to reach the world with the gospel. As a saved person we should all be going out and doing the Great Commission. We should not take advantage of what we should be doing. Please join Pastor Scheving as he preaches on “A movement that Couldn’t Be Stopped.”
