Where God's blessings flow!
Sermons by Pastor Matthew Kusch (Page 18)
In Ephesians, Paul reminds us of the many blessings we receive. How do you define a blessing? Did you know that there are three blessings of God? All our blessings spring from these three. Join us as we explore these three blessings…
It was a dark and stormy night… They were in the boat, they were scared, and their master was asleep. When He awoke, He needed only one word to calm the storm – “Peace.” Today we are still scattered and we suffer trials and persecutions, yet we only need His peace. We need faith like…
As we read the Bible, we need to know what’s going on behind the scenes–spiritual warfare between God and Satan. It began when Satan tempted Adam and Eve. Later, the people and leaders of Israel lost their faith and built the golden calf. Even David fell into sin. When Satan attacked Jesus through the scribes,…

The centurion was able…
When Peter was confronted between Palm Sunday and the Crucifixion, he had several chances to share his faith – but he did not. His testimony did not communicate the Gospel of our Lord. When we have opportunities to share our faith, what do we say? What will you say? Always have a reason for the…
