Sermon Notes:· Philippians 1:3 - 3 I thank my God every time I remember you.· 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.· Joy means having a deep sense of well-being knowing that God is at work in us and for us.· Philippians 4:4 – Rejoice in the Lord always; I will say it again, rejoice!· 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.· You are not done following Jesus until you see Jesus face to face.· 9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,· What the world needs now, is love, sweet love…· 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God· “What is wise?”· Heaven is for people who can stand it. – Dallas Willard· I think when I die, it may take me a few minutes to realize I am dead. – Dallas Willard· Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine; oh what a foretaste of glory divine.· But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.· To the glory and praise of God.· God, here I am. Use me.· To glorify God is to live your life in such a way that people look at you and say, “What a good God there must be to use a person like that.” - John OrtbergLife Group Discussion QuestionsStarter: What makes you thankful for our church?Dig Deeper1. Read Philippians 1:3-6a. Why do you think God wanted the followers of Jesus to be partners in his work instead of doing everything himself?b. In verse 6, Paul speaks about his confidence. In your opinion, why does he have confidence?c. What good work needs to be completed in your life? What good work needs to be completed in our church?2. Read Philippians 1:9-11a. What would a church with overflowing love look like?b. Describe a time when you heard someone's story and it helped you love them better?c. What steps do you need to take to get ready for heaven?d. Paul again refers to “the fruit of righteousness.” This is a call back to the fruit of the Spirit he mentions in Galatians: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. What fruit seems to be blooming in your life right now? Why?

God wants us to be confidence in our salvation.  He wants us to have the blessed assurance of an eternal home with Him.  We can find such assurance in the Bible, and one place where it can be found is in Romans 8.  This chapter, beloved by so many, speaks of our Acquittal in Christ, … Continue reading Blessed Assurance – Romans 8 (10/26/25 p.m. sermon)

We explore the profound concept of 'Blessed Assurance' through the lens of Romans 5:1-11. The central theme revolves around our certainty of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We're reminded that as believers, we have peace with God, not just the peace of God. This peace isn't based on our circumstances, but on Christ's finished work on the cross. The message beautifully illustrates how even our afflictions can be a source of joy, as they produce endurance, character, and hope. We're encouraged to see trials as God's pruning process, shaping us to bear more fruit. The analogy of gold being refined in fire vividly portrays how God uses our struggles to purify our faith. As we reflect on these truths, we're challenged to anchor our assurance not in our feelings or experiences, but in the unchanging love of God, demonstrated supremely at the cross. This message invites us to live with confidence, knowing that our salvation is secure in Christ, empowering us to face life's challenges with unwavering faith.

Ephesians 1:3-14 Pastor Scott Skones

In 1 John 2:12-14, the apostle John pauses to assure believers of the blessings they already possess in Christ. Whether young in faith or spiritually mature, every Christian can stand confident in God's grace and grow from milk to solid food.

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:   Be Strong In Christ's Grace You know, life often feels like a relentless struggle. The world tells us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, to dig deep and “just try harder.” But if we're honest, there are plenty of days when that well of inner strength feels empty. Maybe you've been walking through a season of health struggles, financial pressure, or spiritual dryness. Maybe you've experienced loss or discouragement and wondered where to find hope. And in those moments, we don't need pep talks or clichés—we need strength beyond ourselves. That's exactly where the Apostle Paul brings us in 2 Timothy 2:1–13. He's sitting in a Roman dungeon, chains around his wrists, awaiting execution. Yet instead of despair, he writes with clarity, urgency, and unshakable faith. And his words to young Timothy still ring out to us today: “Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” Paul goes on to give us three vivid images—of a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer. Each one is meant to drive home the reality that following Jesus is not casual, not optional, and not effortless. It requires endurance, focus, and trust. But here's the encouragement: the strength doesn't come from us. It comes from the grace that flows from Christ. Grace that forgives, yes—but also grace that sustains. Grace that strengthens. Grace that equips us to carry on when we would otherwise give up. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

Francis was just 6 weeks old when she became ill in the spring of 1820. The family doctor was out of town, and a charlatan pretending to be a doctor prescribed a treatment that rendered the baby completely blind, although she recovered from the initial illness. A few months later, her father died, and her mother went to work as a maid to support the family. She was raised by her grandmother, a devoted Christian who taught her granddaughter from the Bible.At the age of 8, the little girl wrote this poem,“Oh, what a happy soul I am,Although I cannot see!I am resolved that in this worldContented I will be.”The little girl was encouraged to work to the best of her abilities, and not to view herself as limited by blindness. She carried that resourceful attitude throughout her 94 years of living, and during her lifetime penned over 9,000 hymns.You may not have heard of Fanny Crosby, but if you've ever sung or listened to favorite hymns in church, chances are you've heard her music.She poured out her heart writing hymns, many of which are still sung today, nearly 200 years after her birth. Songs such as “Blessed Assurance” and “To God be the Glory” are treasured classics in many denominations.This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.Fanny Crosby was struck blind as an infant, but she allowed the Lord to shape her story, and used her talents to praise Him, and inspire others to do the same.Let's pray.Lord, the story of Fanny Crosby is an encouraging reminder to rely on you, no matter our circumstances. You had a plan for her life from the very beginning, and the songs you wrote on her heart continue to inspire us today as we worship Your Holy Name.

Pastor Chris shares about the blessed assurance of our salvation.

Sin creates division between us and God, but the gospel restores fellowship through Jesus Christ. God is light without darkness, and we cannot claim fellowship with Him while living in spiritual darkness. Walking in the light means agreeing with God's definition of sin and confessing when His light exposes darkness in our lives. Confession brings healing and restoration, allowing us to experience true fellowship with God and others. The mark of a Christian isn't sinlessness but a willingness to bring sin into the light through regular confession.

Today, we had a special musical performance of Blessed Assurance by the Faith Bells at Faith Lutheran Church in Okemos, Michigan. Published Under License From Essential Music Publishing, LLC

John's first letter addresses believers disturbed by false prophets, offering them blessed assurance through fundamental truths. He emphasizes that the gospel of Jesus is complete, based on eyewitness testimony, not requiring new additions. John teaches that true fellowship centers entirely on Jesus Christ - we must decide if Christianity is absolutely true or completely false, as there is no middle ground. Finally, he reveals that our joy becomes complete when we share the message of Jesus with others, experiencing a fulfillment that cannot be taken away.

In this message on "Blessed Assurance," Ken explores how the Apostle John wrote his first letter to help Christians know with certainty that they have eternal life, addressing the confusion caused by false teachers who had left the church. He outlines three key areas of Christian assurance: knowing the true identity of Jesus as the Son of God, having certainty about your conversion through three tests (believing Jesus is God's Son, walking in the light through moral transformation, and loving fellow believers), and trusting in the security of your salvation even when you fail. Ken emphasizes that true assurance comes not from perfect performance but from humble dependence on Christ, who serves as our advocate when we confess our sins and get back on the path of faith.

Are you saved?  Can you know for sure?  Scholars and believers of all stripes have debated this over the years.  To be sure of one's salvation, it must be based on something which cannot fail under any circumstances and will always be available.  What would that be?  Do you have it?

Caregiving has pushed me to the point where I've had to ask what I really believe when life gets overwhelming. In this episode, I talk about those moments of faith under fire and share clips from my conversation with author Jess Ronne (Caregiving with Grit and Grace). Jess opens up about raising a son with disabilities, losing her husband to brain cancer, and continuing forward as a caregiver. I close with Blessed Assurance at the Caregiver Keyboard, a hymn that reminds me where to stand when everything feels unsteady. Order the new book today!

The Power Of One Voice #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Power of One VoiceBased on the story of Fanny Crosby"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2)When Fanny Crosby was just six weeks old, a doctor's mistake left her permanently blind. Her grandmother could have focused on what Fanny couldn't do, but instead she taught her to see the world through other senses. By age eight, Fanny was writing poetry. By her death in 1915, she had written over 8,000 hymns, including "Blessed Assurance" and "To God Be the Glory."Here's what gets me about Fanny's story, she never saw her blindness as a limitation. She once said, "It seemed intended by the blessed providence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank him for the dispensation." Now that's a transformed mind right there.You know, most of us spend our time focusing on what we can't do instead of what we can do. We look at our limitations, our circumstances, our past mistakes, and we let them define us. But God wants to transform our thinking. He wants us to see our lives through His eyes, not the world's eyes.I've learned this the hard way over the years, too soon old and too late smart as they say. When I was younger in ministry, I thought I had to be perfect, had to have all the answers. But God has shown me that He often uses our weaknesses, our struggles, even our failures to reach others in ways our strengths never could.Fanny Crosby couldn't see with her physical eyes, but she saw clearly with her spiritual eyes. She saw God's goodness, His faithfulness, His love. And because of her transformed perspective, millions of people have been blessed by her hymns for over a century.What limitation in your life do you need to surrender to God today? What circumstance has you thinking you can't be used by Him? Remember, God isn't looking for perfect people, He's looking for willing people with transformed minds. He wants to take what the world sees as a disability and turn it into His ability working through you.Don't let the world tell you who you are or what you can accomplish. Let God transform your thinking, and watch what He can do through a yielded life.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

1 John 5:13-15

One of the themes throughout John's first letter is the theme of assurance. He wants his readers to have confidence in the eternal life that Christ has secured for them. With this certainty of their salvation, Christians are able to demonstrate their love for God by keeping His commandments. How should we view God's commands? What about when we fail to keep them? Join us as we wrap up this marvelous letter and see the majesty of the Son of God!1) Faith is shown through our obedience2) Faith receives life3) Faith is kept by ChristText: 1 John 5

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz wants to throw down on Trump supporters. Governor Walz part of the Democrat Party’s tag team that got body slammed by President Trump in the 2024 presidential elections. The governor – who was once an assistant high school football coach is apparently still working through some issues. He told California Governor Gavin Newsom that he could kick most Trump supporters in their “Blessed Assurance.” This is the same guy who put tampons in the boys bathrooms. Walz then suggested that he might even challenge them to a WWE fight. Well, that challenge caught the attention of Knox County, Tennessee Mayor Glenn Jacobs – better known as WWE superstar wrestler Kane. Jacobs challenged Walz to a charity wrestling match – told him to put his money where his mouth is. The Tennessee mayor offering to kick in a $10,000 donation.Governor Walz – was quite the chatterbox on Newsom’s podcast – but for some strange reason – he’s hit the mute button.
