Nate Czajkowski Podcast

(FROM THE ARCHIVES — October 11, 2020) Pressure to appear a certain way can rob a person of intimacy with God. In this talk we will explore why God isn't calling us to be the one who is asked for but instead to pursue developing a real, sincere life of faith.

(FROM THE ARCHIVES — April 18, 2021) The COVID era will eventually come to an end. As this season is working towards that close, God is calling us to remember and rediscover him. In this talk we are challenged specifically to remember and rediscover how encountering the resurrection power of God can change everything for us and those around us whom we love.  

God took a young shepherd from the pastures and made him, as he says in 2 Samuel 7, "A prince over my people Israel." We may be hoping that our lives could follow the same up and to the right trajectory. But what is God actually saying about our own journeys? Also, I'd love to hear from you. I'd love to hear your story and pray for you. Email me at njczajkowski@gmail.com and let's talk.

After a long hiatus from preaching, I'm back with a new talk. This sermon is an exploration of how following Jesus is a long ride, not a short one and why that's good news for you. We look at the temptation of Jesus and see how this shows that God is on an extended mission to rescue humanity and because of this He rejects the shortcut. Luke 4:1-13

This kicks of me preaching for the year and also the series called "Where We Go From Here." I describe the series better in the actual sermon than I could in a few brief sentences here. Nevertheless, we are turning to the first three chapters of 1 Corinthians, in order to go verse by verse through it. We will examine how that relates back to us today and the concept of the series. We start with 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 and the concept of grace.

Another message on Advent and John the Baptist.  This one examines the the words he speaks in Luke 3:7-18.  Its also a look a joy through the lens of advent.
