Timberlake United Methodist Church - Sermon Podcast

As we continue our series, "The Week that Changed Everything," Pastor Jesse walks us through Jesus response in Mark 13 to his disciples marveling over the splendor of Herod's Temple.

In Mark 12 Jesus told the Parable of the Tenants, a story of a vineyard and those who were to tend it. The vineyard owner sent his servants to collect an expected return from the harvest and the tenants killed them in return. We are tending to God's vineyard, we are expected to bear fruit and have something to show for our time as we work in the Kingdom of God. This week, Pastor Brad talks to us about being productive as we steward the time we have been given to work in this vineyard. This is the Timberlake Church Online podcast!

God cares about holiness. He is holy and it is because of this that sin keeps us from His presence. This week we begin our Lent season with the first message in a new series called, "The Week that changed everything." As we start this season of reflection and self-denial Pastor Brad speaks to us about Jesus flipping tables in the temple, in righteous anger at those who pervert the holiness of God by defiling His sacred place. 1 Corinthians tells us we are the temple, we should keep it a holy place for God.

Welcome to the Timberlake Church Online podcast! As we finish our two-week series on vision, "The Plans I Have for You," Pastor Brad reminds us that we are called to serve the body within our church and reach the lost beyond its walls. Mature Christians yield to the mission and instructions of Christ, while the immature are self-focused. We must mature spiritually to accomplish what we are called to do as followers of Jesus.

Welcome to the Timberlake Church Online podcast! We are kicking off a new series this week titled, "The Plans I Have for You." God does not put us where we are for our own sake, He has a plan to prosper us for a reason. We are to be Salt and Light to the world around us and that means we must yield our desires for His and make room for those He uses us to bring to Him. Pastor Brad walks us through this as he delivers a message from Jeremiah this week. We are so happy you are with us today.

This week as we worship online Pastor Brad brings us the conclusion to our series, "This is War." In this series we have explored the book of Ephesians and what it has to say about the spiritual forces of darkness and how we are to combat them; but how do we apply those words practically? What does it mean to us, our lives and the people we cared about? Pastor Brad speaks to these questions this week. This is the Timberlake Church online podcast... thank you for joining us this week!

As we join together in our homes on this snowy Sunday morning, Pastor Brad brings us a message about the unity of Communion. Welcome to the Timberlake Church Online podcast.

Again we are reminded that we are at war with spiritual forces, not flesh and blood, and God already has the victory. This is the Timberlake Church Online podcast... thank you for joining us this week!

Our battle is not with flesh and blood, but against the spiritual powers behind the people and events we can observe. But make no mistake, we are at War. This is our second week of our series called, "This is War," and Pastor Brad is taking us into some uncomfortable places to speak plainly on what the Bible says about topics that have become culturally accepted, even when culture runs against God's Word.

It is week two in our series, "The Cradle and the Cross," and this week we hear a message from Pastor Brad on the sacrifice of Christmas. For Jesus to take on human form and be born into our world sacrifice was required. Mary, Joseph, and even Jesus had to make enormous sacrifices to ensure that a path to our salvation was possible. This is the true Christmas story, that God loves us enough to sacrifice everything for us to have a way to return into His presence. Happy Advent! We are so glad you have joined us today.
