1 Peter 3: 20-22

20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,

21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.

Sermon recap from 03/15/2026

Topic: Bearing your cross

In Luke 9:23, Christ tells his disciples that if someone desires to follow him, that they must deny themselves and bear their cross daily.

At the time, Christ had not faced his crucifixion, however, his audience would have known exactly what the cross signified. Today the cross is a symbol of hope, grace, and love, but back then, it was a symbol of pain, humiliation, and death.

Today people associate this verse with their own burdens, however, this isn’t how the disciples understood it. If you witnessed an individual carrying a cross in this time, you knew that they were walking towards their own death.

When Jesus said to bear your cross, he did in fact call for death. In this scenario however, what Jesus is calling for is “death to self”. Paul puts it perfectly into words a few times in the book of Galatians. We are to crucify our flesh and die with Christ so that we can live through Christ.

This is why in verse 24 of Luke 9, Jesus describes two people. One who looses his life trying to save it, and one who gains life because he lost it for the sake of Christ.

Why is this asked of us? Why are we asked to die to ourselves?

The answer lies in this; as Jesus says, we cannot serve two masters. If we live for ourselves, we cannot see the light that Christ illuminates on our paths so that we can follow Him. Instead, the darkness of the world clouds our vision and distracts us from the one thing that truly matters.

Christ tells us to bear our cross so that we can clearly follow Him. It allows our attention to be focused on Him. While in the moment it may feel as if your loosing your life, in time to come, you will find your true life.

Of course, bearing the cross isn’t an easy task. Christ decides it as a daily decision. Each day you must make the decision to crucify your flesh for the sake of Christ.

Christ is the only one who can save us from this body of death.

Join us tomorrow, March 7, 2026 at 10:30 AM, as we come together for worship and a study of 1 John chapter 4.

In this chapter, the apostle John teaches us how to discern truth from falsehood and reminds us what truly identifies a follower of Christ. In a world filled with many voices and teachings, John points us back to the simple but powerful truth that the life of a Christian is marked by the love of God.

Due to the unsafe conditions on the mountain this morning, our service will be called of. Please stay safe and warm!

James 1: 22-26

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;
24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

As we step into a new year, I want to ask a simple but challenging question:

Is your Bible dusty?

This Sunday, January 4th, we’ll be talking about why God’s Word was never meant to sit unopened, how a neglected Bible can leave us vulnerable to false teaching, and why Scripture is meant to be our daily lifeline, not just a Sunday habit.

In a world full of voices, opinions, and feel-good messages, how do we discern truth from error? How do we grow as Christians? And why does the Bible warn us so strongly about complacency?

If you’ve ever struggled with consistency in the Word, or wondered why it truly matters, this lesson is for you.

Join us as we talk about dusting off our Bibles and renewing our commitment to God’s truth.

Hawk Pride will deeply miss our Sister in Christ, Becky King, but we were so blessed to have had her as a critical part of our congregation.

As Paul says in Romans chapter 8, even death cannot separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. It comforts us knowing the the love of God is flooding her soul.

The pain we feel from this loss is a blessing, as it represents the love that we had for our dear sister. But we can find comfort in prayer, knowing that one day, the children of God can be reunited.

Romans chapter 8: 31-39.

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

36 As it is written:“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Colossians 2:18

18: Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

What an amazing verse. Here we see Paul address a group of young belivers with encouragement for them to stay grounded in their faith against false teachers. He specifically points out the actions of false humility and the worshiping of angels. He then provides us things to look for regarding these teachings.

Paul says they will go into great detail describing things unseen or as we know them, visions. He also warns that they will be "puffed up" or prideful in their spiritual practices. The "humilty" that they pratice really serves as a way to elevate themselves above others.

It's also important to notice that he points out the pratice of worshiping angels. Jesus mentions that nothing is to be worshipped other than God (Matthew 4:10).

This is a great warning that continues to hold relevance today. False teachers will attempt to persuade you for attention and not because they seek to bring you to Christ.
