An Important Starting Point // 1 John 1:5 45:15

5d ago45:15

45:15

In 1 John 1:5, John begins to share the message he had heard and proclaimed. As others have pointed out, one of the great lessons of verse 5 is found in John's starting point. We may have expected John to begin with the love of God. But instead, John begins with the character of God. In this message, Rick Anderson develops John's starting point, sh…

Fellowship and Joy Part II // 1 John 1:3-4 & John 1:11-12 52:53

14d ago52:53

52:53

Last time we began to look at the amazing subject of fellowship with God, and we began by looking at this fellowship from God's side of the relationship. In this message, Paster Rick Anderson continues the discussion on fellowship with God, this time looking at this fellowship from our side of the relationship.…

Fellowship and Joy // 1 John 1:4 46:57

22d ago46:57

46:57

Earlier in this study it was argued that the heart or essence of the Christian faith is fellowship with God. In this message Pastor Rick Anderson digs a little deeper into this fellowship by looking at what this fellowship is from God's side of the relationship. The answers are absolutely staggering and uplifting.…

The Essence of Christianity // 1 John 1:3 46:23

29d ago46:23

46:23

As wonderful as it is, the purpose of Jesus’ earthly ministry goes far beyond forgiveness of sins. There is an inherent danger today of stopping too early and seeing forgiveness of sins as the essence of the Christian faith. In this message, Rick Anderson shows us the true essence of the Christian faith is fellowship with God.…

The Life Was Made Manifest // 1 John 1:1-4 41:04

1M ago41:04

41:04

This week we begin a new series in John's first letter. The opening verses of this short letter are lofty. And in order to begin to appreciate the loftiness of these verses we begin by looking at some introductory material--things that had we been part of the original audience we would have known. From there we look at the amazing fact that the "wo…

Behold Your God, Part 5 47:35

1M ago47:35

In this series, we have been looking at who God is and what He has done. So far we have looked at the Father and the Son. In this message we now turn to the person and work of the Holy Spirit.Von Tri-State Community Church

Behold Your God, Part 3 46:27

2M ago46:27

46:27

In this series, we have been looking at who God is and what He has done. And for most of us, if not all of us, we first learn about who God is by learning what He has done, namely, what He has done on the cross. On the cross, Jesus, the Son of God, suffered. He was buried and on the third day He rose from the dead and ascended to the right hand of …

Behold Your God, Part 2 1:06:40

2M ago1:06:40

1:06:40

In this message our discussion of the Trinity continues. After a brief review, we look at three things: 1) The Son of God is indeed very God of very God 2) all these blessing have come down to us from heaven 3) how God has chosen to experience human suffering in the person of Christ. This third point has huge ramifications in: 1) our understanding …

Behold Your God 54:56

2M ago54:56

54:56

In this message we begin to move into the heart of one of the most complex doctrines of the faith--the Holy Trinity. We begin by looking at a New Testament pattern expressed by the common phrase, "God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." And from there we begin a discussion on the phrase "only-begotten". The purpose of this is to go deeper in our…

We Owe Everything to God; Let Us Serve Him 45:26

2M ago45:26

45:26

Having invested a couple of weeks on the importance of the historic creeds and confessions, this week we begin to look at what the church has historically called the Nicene Creed. We begin by offering a thumbnail sketch of the historic context of the creed. There we see its importance for worship, salvation, and our understanding of who God is. The…

The Importance of Creeds and Confessions // Part 1 57:24

3M ago57:24

57:24

Recently I was reminded how vast the bible is. This reminder came as I gave a bible to a person whom I had just spent about an hour sharing the gospel with. I was also reminded how important the creeds of Church history are: The Nicene Creed, the Apostles Creed. And also, our historic confessions. For these documents lay out the clear teaching of S…

Christ Victoriously Leads Us // Psalm 24 36:34

3M ago36:34

36:34

Psalm 24 raises two questions: "Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? Who shall stand in His holy place?" The answer, "He who has a pure heart." This immediately leads us to another question. We do not have pure hearts so how can we ever brought favorably into God's holy presence? In this message Pastor Rick answers this important question from th…

The Lord Our Shepherd // Psalm 23 52:43

3M ago52:43

52:43

Psalm 23 is one of the most popular and beloved psalms in the entire psalter. And it contains some of the best known verses in all of the Bible. "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me." In this message, Rick Anderson takes us through this grea…

When it Seems that God Doesn't Hear // Psalm 22 48:23

3M ago48:23

48:23

As we walk with the Lord through this earthly pilgrimage we will go through seasons of great difficulty. And in the midst of this difficulty we may even find a period of time where it seems as though the Lord is absent--absent in terms of answering our cries. What do we do? In this message Rick Anderson shows us how Psalm 22 guides us through these…

Security // Psalm 21 44:05

4M ago44:05

44:05

This message is part two of the previous message in Psalm 20 and that is because Psalm 21 is immediately connected to the prayer of Psalm 20. In this message, Rick Anderson begins by reviewing Psalm 20 and from there discusses a historical example from Isaiah 36-37 where the principles of Psalm 20 were employed. This helps us "get into" Psalm 21. F…

Praying with the King in Total Dependence Upon the Lord // Psalm 20 41:06

4M ago41:06

41:06

As we turn to Psalm 20 we find the psalmist in the "day of trouble." As we have discussed in earlier messages, this is a common occurrence in the psalms. But each psalm makes its own contribution and Psalm 20 is no exception. In this message, Rick Anderson takes us through Psalm 20 to show its contribution to God's overall message and how it is exc…

The Value of God's Word // Psalm 19 41:02

4M ago41:02

41:02

In this message on Psalm 19, Rick Anderson takes us through four important and amazing truths: 1) God has made Himself known though what He has made 2) God has more accurately made Himself known through His word 3) the value of His word 4) what our response should be.Von Tri-State Community Church

Stand in Awe // Psalm 18 50:50

4M ago50:50

50:50

In this message, Rick Anderson takes us through a "birds-eye" view of Psalm 18 to show that it is a Royal Psalm of Praise. What this means is, Psalm 18 should inspire awe in our hearts for what the Lord has done for His King and through His King. Our wonder over this great psalm only intensifies as we see it applied to Christ--what the Father has d…

A Prayer of David, Part 2 // Psalm 17 46:25

5M ago46:25

46:25

The subject of prayer is a vast subject but it is also a subject that can yield feelings of guilt and inadequacy. When you read books about people who regularly spent hours in prayer each day and you attempt to rise up to this the results can be oppressive. Or you read the prayers of those who have come before us you can easily conclude “I cannot s…

Preserve Me // Psalm 16 43:19

5M ago43:19

43:19

One of the key words of Psalm 16 is the word “preserve.” David prays, “Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.” In this message, Rick Anderson explains each verse of this precious psalm and shows how the idea of preservation is at the heart of this sacred word.Von Tri-State Community Church

The Kind of Congregation the Lord is Building: The Life the Lord Provides // Psalm 15 47:25

5M ago47:25

47:25

Who shall live in the presence of God? That is the question Psalm 15 takes up. Its answer can be summarize by the words “he who walks blamelessly.” At first glance that doesn’t seem like good news. But as the Psalm is studied something absolutely beautiful emerges. In this message, Rick Anderson takes us through this study to see not only the beaut…

Who are We? // Psalm 14 34:09

6M ago34:09

34:09

Here is a three word question with profound importance: Who are we? Improperly or inadequately answered and what Jesus has done on the cross makes no sense or worse, becomes irrelevant. In this message from Psalm 14, Pastor Rick Anderson answers this question and in doing so exposes the profound importance of what Jesus has done.…

Our Confidence is God's Covenant Love // Psalm 13 36:52

6M ago36:52

36:52

Regardless of whether we have embraced Christianity or not the words “how long” are very recognizable and meaningful. And in the Christian life, we will face trying seasons where God’s answer to our prayers are seemingly absent. What do we do as followers of Christ when no relief is in view? When God is seemingly silent? In this message, Rick Ander…

Surviving Deception and Manipulation // Psalm 12 43:50

7M ago43:50

43:50

In Psalm 12, David calls on the Lord to save from the widespread lies and flattery that abounded everywhere in his day. Moving to our own time we all recognize we also live in a time of widespread deception. Can the garden survive when it is totally overrun with the weeds of lies and manipulation? In this message, after developing both the danger o…

When the Walls Come Down // Psalm 11 52:13

7M ago52:13

52:13

In ancient times the city had walls that were carefully constructed to protect it from invasion. In the event of war, the walls would be the last thing to protect the city from their enemy. In the same way, we have enjoyed freedom to proclaim the Word of God in this country. Freedom protected by the walls of freedom of religion and speech. What hap…

God Promised and His Timing // Psalm 10 53:13

7M ago53:13

53:13

As we follow the Lord there are two things we need to keep worked out in our minds and hearts: God’s promises and His timing. In our frailty, God’s timing, especially if it is delayed, can cause us to weaken in our conviction of His promises. In this message, Rick Anderson explains how the psalmist has struggled through this common pitfall and how …

The Sovereign Judge is Our Advocate and Refuge // Psalm 9 48:00

7M ago48:00

48:00

In the midst of one of the most terrifying attributes of God is a wonder that is beyond comprehension. The Bible is abundantly clear God is a righteous judge and that is terrifying—if we haven’t found it to be frightening we have not come to grips with it yet. But Psalm 9 teaches us that God is a Sovereign Judge who is both an Advocate and a Refuge…

How Majestic is Your Name // Psalm 8 46:49

7M ago46:49

46:49

Psalm 8 has had an interesting history. It has been described as being about human dignity. It has also been described as being about human insignificance! What the Psalm is really about is the majesty or excellence of the Lord. In this message, Rick Anderson shows how man, though insignificant in himself, is nevertheless given unspeakable dignity …

Paul tells us that it is for freedom that we have been called. Throughout the course of this series we have seen this freedom as freedom to become like Christ. In this message we look closely at the “fruit of the Spirit to get a glimpse of how God makes us like Christ.Von Tri-State Community Church
