Reaching the ONE: pt6 Pastor Fred

Jesus tells three stories in Luke 15 that give us some insight on God’s perspective of reaching the one.  While the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son reveal a distinct person of the Godhead (Father, Son & Holy Spirit), they also have some very common themes.  In today’s message, Pastor Fred shares how God reacts to the lost one, how He responds when the lost one is found and how He restores everything that was lost.

Reaching the ONE: pt5 Pastor Fred

Just like the man who was born blind in John 9, we too, are all born "spiritually blind." Apart from the healing touch of Jesus, we are unable to restore our own sight and will live our lives in utter darkness. Listen to today's teaching as we take a deeper dive into Jesus' conversation with his disciples about this man's situation, as well as, a few things that can distract us from our mission of reaching the one.
 

Reaching the ONE: pt4 Pastor Fred

In part four of our "Reaching The One" series, we discuss breaking the cycle of sin as found in the story of a woman who was caught in adultery. Jesus, the Person of grace, masterfully navigates a seemingly impossible situation in which He both satisfies the law of Moses and pronounces a "not guilty" verdict to the woman. While the law is great at pointing out sin, it doesn't have the power to break sin, but grace does.  If you're struggling with any repetitive issues in your life, listen to today's message and be set free by the grace of Jesus.

Reaching the ONE: pt3 Pastor Fred

In today’s teaching, Jesus reaches the ONE that has been suffering with an infirmity for 38 years. What’s interesting is that when Jesus asked him if he wanted to be made well, the man didn’t say “Yes” immediately.  Just like the man in the story, there are still many people today who continue to embrace their sickness or will even make excuses for it. The good news is that no matter how long you’ve been dealing with something or how bad it might seem, Jesus is still able and wanting to heal you of it.

Reaching the ONE: pt2 Pastor Fred

Reaching a city starts by reaching the one and that's just what Jesus did in the story about the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well.  In today's teaching, Pastor Fred shares how we must listen to the Holy Spirit as He leads you to the one in need, as well as, some practical ways to engage them in a conversation that leads them toward Jesus.

Reaching the ONE: You must be born again Pastor Fred

Nicodemus, like many people, was a good person.  He observed the commandments, gave tithes, fasted regularly and was a well respected Jewish teacher.  However, Jesus told him that unless he was born again he would never be able to enter heaven, regardless of every good thing he had done.  This is still an essential today and in this teaching, Pastor Fred will talk about the new birth and the effects it will have on your life.
