This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

Trust In God's Sovereignty

Today, we’re diving into Psalm 33:12–22, a passage that radiates praise for God’s unshakable sovereignty, His steadfast love, and His watchful care over His people.

This psalm is like a beacon in the fog, guiding us through life’s uncertainties—whether it’s personal struggles like financial stress, family challenges, or the broader chaos of our world in 2025.

We’ll unpack how this ancient song calls us to trust God’s perfect plan, fear Him with deep reverence, and anchor our hope in His faithful deliverance. We’ll explore this text verse by verse, keeping it thoroughly biblical, theologically conservative, and practical for your daily walk with Christ.

You know what? In a world that feels unsteady—economic pressures, political divides, personal anxieties—Psalm 33 reminds us that God is in complete control, His love never wavers, and His eyes are fixed on those who trust Him.

Trusting In God's Provision

Today we're diving into Luke 12:22-34. This passage hits home in our busy world, where worry about finances, health, and the future often consumes us. Jesus speaks directly to His disciples, urging them not to fret over food or clothing, pointing to birds and flowers as examples of God's care.

He reminds us that life is more than material things and that seeking God's kingdom first ensures our needs are met.

We'll explore the historical context of Luke's Gospel, written by a physician to affirm Jesus' teachings for Gentiles, and unpack this section amid warnings about hypocrisy and greed.

The big idea?

Trust God's provision and prioritize His rule in your life.

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

Being Rich Toward God

Today, we're diving into Luke 12:13-21. This passage hits hard on greed and what really matters in life. Jesus gets pulled into a family squabble over inheritance, but He turns it into a powerful lesson: beware of all forms of greed because life isn't about piling up stuff.

He shares the parable of the rich fool who hoards his wealth, plans a comfy retirement, but dies that night, leaving it all behind. The big idea?

We'll explore this in a conversational style, blending insights from the text with practical applications for today—like how to handle money, avoid materialism, and invest in eternity.

Action points:

1. First, audit your priorities this week—where's your heart?
2. Second, practice generosity; give to someone in need.
3. Third, pray for a God-centered view of possessions.

Rooted and Built Up in Christ

I’m Pastor Warren Swanson, and today we’re diving into Colossians 2:6-15, a passage that’s like a roadmap for a faith that stands strong.

Paul wrote this letter around 60 AD to a young church in Colossae, a city buzzing with ideas—Greek philosophy, Jewish rules, pagan mysticism—all trying to pull believers away from Jesus.

But Paul says, “Stay rooted in Christ.” In this episode, we’ll unpack three practical ways to do that:

1. Walking daily in Jesus through prayer and Scripture,

2. Guarding against deceptive philosophies by testing them against God’s Word, and

3. Resting in the complete forgiveness and victory of the cross.

Picture an oak tree standing firm in a Minnesota storm—that’s the stable, discerning, and complete life God offers. Try this: read Colossians 1 this week or pray with a friend to deepen your roots. In a world full of noise, Jesus is our anchor.

Reconciled and Proclaiming Christ

Friends, Colossians 1:21-29 is a roadmap for transformed living. Jesus reconciled us to God, so we live with gratitude, thanking Him for His grace that made us holy and blameless.

He gives us the hope of the gospel, so we stand firm, anchoring ourselves in His Word and promises, no matter what storms come our way. And He dwells in us, empowering us to proclaim Him with courage, love, and purpose, sharing His light in a world that desperately needs it.

In this message, we’ll explore three points:

1. Our reconciliation through Christ’s death,

2. The call to remain steadfast in hope, and

3. The mission to share Christ with others.

Practically, this means living in gratitude for God’s grace, standing firm in faith amid life’s storms, and boldly sharing the gospel in everyday moments.

The Good Samaritan

In our tight-knit community, we understand the beauty of lending a hand—whether it’s helping a neighbor clear snow or sharing a meal during harvest season.

Yet, Jesus’ teaching in Luke 10:25-37, the parable of the Good Samaritan, stretches our understanding of neighborly love far beyond what’s comfortable or familiar.

This passage confronts our human tendency to prioritize self, challenging us to embrace a love that mirrors God’s heart—radical, selfless, and boundary-breaking.

Today, we’ll unpack this parable verse by verse, discovering who our neighbor is, what love demands, and how we’re called to live it out in our daily lives.

The Authority of Scripture

This episode is all about the authority of Scripture, rooted in the powerful words of 2 Timothy 3:16-17, where Paul declares that all Scripture is God-breathed and useful for every facet of our lives.

We’re going to unpack three practical, life-changing ways the Bible shapes us:

1. It teaches us God’s unchanging truth,

2. Corrects us when we stray, and

3. Trains us to live righteously for His glory.

In a world swirling with conflicting voices—social media debates, cultural trends, personal opinions—the Bible stands as our rock-solid foundation, God’s very voice speaking directly to us.

It’s not just a book; it’s a divine guide for navigating life’s challenges, from the mundane to the monumental.

Trusting God's Plan

We’re about to dive into a message that speaks directly to the heart of every believer: trusting God’s plan, rooted in the powerful promise of Jeremiah 29:11.

Life can feel like a rollercoaster—full of unexpected twists, turns, and moments that leave us questioning what’s next. But God’s Word assures us He has a purpose for every step, even when we can’t see the road ahead.

Today, we’ll unpack three practical ways to rely on God’s guidance through life’s uncertainties:

1. Resting in His promises,

2. Seeking His direction, and

3. Embracing His timing.

This sermon isn’t just about inspiration—it’s about giving you tools to live out your faith in tangible ways. We’ll lean on Scripture, share real-life examples, and offer actionable steps to deepen your trust in God.
