  • I'm Not The Man I Used To Be

    05/06/2016 Duración: 16min

    When Paul preached to the churches in Judea, his reputation as a "former persecutor of Christians who now preaches the faith" went before him. This transformation glorified God, and those that heard his preaching glorified God because of it. Like Paul, we believers have undergone a transformation, and our testimony and witness glorify God and cause those who hear it to glorify God in response.

  • Then Sings My Soul...

    22/05/2016 Duración: 14min

    The relationship we have, as believers, with the Holy Trinity should cause us to pause and reflect on the majesty and divinity of God and the dignity of humankind.

  • Rushing Wind and Tongues of Fire

    15/05/2016 Duración: 29min

    What kinds of things do you think about while you’re waiting? What thoughts run through your mind when you are on the other side of a life-changing event or series of events and you are waiting for the fallout or the windfall, the consequences or the reward, and the anticipated timing of the next step? If you’re human, then you probably start to second guess the decisions that got you there; the choices you made along the way; the successes and the failures. You ask yourself questions – What could I have done differently? What could I have done better? What if I had done this or done that or not done this or that? This message, recorded on Pentecost Sunday at Countryside UMC, explores the excruciating anticipation of waiting, and the miraculous relief of a Rushing Wind and Tongues of Fire.

  • The New Jerusalem

    01/05/2016 Duración: 25min

    We all have mundane, tedious days when we wonder if we are making any headway at all. But even the mundane "everydays" have purpose in God's plan, and even the un-glamorous roads lead to the holy city. Pastor Steven preaches on Revelation 21 and 22.

  • What is Your Road to Emmaus?

    03/04/2016 Duración: 19min

    The two disciples on the road to Emmaus were lamenting the death of their Master. Their walk to Emmaus began with despair, confusion, grief and hopelessness. But then they had an encounter with the Risen Lord, who explained to them the Christ woven throughout all the scriptures from Moses through the prophets. Our personal journeys begin in that way until we encounter Jesus. We all are without hope until we know Christ. We all have struggles as we walk through life. What is your road to Emmaus?

  • Name Above All Names

    20/03/2016 Duración: 20min

    9 Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11)

  • Count It All As Loss

    13/03/2016 Duración: 22min

    We spend a lot of time in this life building up resumes. Before Christ enters our lives many things seem important to us. But after we know Christ, those things become like so much rubbish. Everything we once held dear, we count it all as loss. Pastor Steven discusses Philippians 3.

  • A New Creation

    06/03/2016 Duración: 22min

    "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Pastor Steven preaches a message of new life and new beginnings found in Paul's second letter to the Corinthians.

  • Create In Me a Clean Heart, O God

    10/02/2016 Duración: 16min

  • You Can't Stay on the Mountaintop

    07/02/2016 Duración: 16min

    An encounter with the glory of the living Christ is indeed a mountaintop experience. Many of us experience those Christ-moments in the worship setting at church on Sunday. Those experiences can be so powerfully moving that we never want them to stop; we want to stay right there on the mountaintop and bask in the glory of our Lord. But, we cannot stay on the mountaintop. We are called to carry the reflection of Christ's glory back down the mountain into the deep, dark valley so that Christ's light can illuminate the upward path for others.

  • Proclaim the Year of the Lord's Favor

    24/01/2016 Duración: 20min

    "I am here to 'Proclaim the Year of the Lord’s Favor!'" That's what Jesus told the hometown crowd in the synagogue in Nazareth. What did He mean by that? How did the hometown crowd receive his message? Why does it matter 2,000+ years later? Pastor Steven discusses Luke 4:14-21.

  • Water, Wine and Weddings

    17/01/2016 Duración: 33min

    The Miracle at the Wedding in Cana was not the public revelation to the world that we typically think it to be. No, the turning of the water into wine was only witnessed by a few, Mary, the six brand new disciples, and the servants who dipped the wine out of the large stone pots. Of those few that witnessed it, it was the disciples for whom the miracle was meant. Seeing it, they believed, and believing they followed and changed the world.

  • This is My Beloved Son

    10/01/2016 Duración: 13min

    The Baptism of Our Lord is more than a landmark event in the life of the Church and in history. With the words of the Father to His Son, Jesus, "You are my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased." the affirmation and the approval of our heavenly Father is imparted to every believer, by the power of the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ.
