Remember Jesus

In this exhortation, Pastor Jonathan Parnell expounds upon the second name of Jesus foretold in Isaiah 9:6. Jesus Christ is the Mighty God. Let’s not forget all that we know about our Mighty God.

Wonderful Counselor

Dec 01 2024 5 mins  
In this exhortation, Pastor Max Kozak imagines how exciting Isaiah’s family devotions might have been telling of the Messiah to come. Isaiah tells us his name will be Wonderful Counselor – this is especially good news for a people in a land of deep darkness, a people waiting for Christ to come again. Let’s trust in the wisdom and counsel of our Wonderful Counselor.

Challenge, Response

Nov 24 2024 7 mins  
In this exhortation, Dan Helstrom exhorts us from 2 Peter 1:3 – especially as we enter this holiday season – to prepare our hearts for the challenges to come, so that we are ready to respond to them with hearts that trust in God’s power to meet our every need.

Stop Contending, Start Receiving

Nov 17 2024 8 mins  
In this exhortation, Tyler Morris echoes Romans 9:20 in which Paul makes it very clear that God is the one in authority over everything. Therefore, who are we to argue with God? God has the final word, so let’s stop contending with God’s promises and start gladly receiving them.

Always Be Reminding

Nov 10 2024 8 mins  
In this exhortation, Marshall Segal looks at 2 Peter 1:5-8 where Peter reminds them of their calling as Christians. We are often forgetful and need to be reminded of the way of Christlikeness. Let’s “make every effort” to remind one another to grow in Christlikeness because we all need to be reminded and we all need reminding.

Learn Wisdom From Jesus

Nov 03 2024 6 mins  
In this exhortation, Pastor Mike Polley exhorts us from Proverbs 1:7 to learn wisdom by fearing the Lord. Wisdom is attainable for all of us, if we follow Jesus and learn from him.

Give and Be Blessed

Oct 27 2024 8 mins  
In this exhortation, Pastor Jonathan Parnell give thanks to the members of our church who have given generously and invites others who have not yet given anything to join in on our church’s culture of generosity because of what Jesus says to us in Acts 20:35.

How to W.A.I.T. for the Lord

Oct 20 2024 7 mins

Pray for the Global Church Like You Pray for Yourself

Oct 13 2024 7 mins  
In this exhortation, Jon Hoglund shares what we know about suffering from 1 Peter 5:9 and a recent quote from a persecuted Christian in another country. The exhortation is that through prayer this worldwide fellowship of the saints would become more real to us.

Step Out in Faith

Oct 06 2024 6 mins  
In this exhortation, Pastor Mike Polley gives us a two-fold exhortation. Let’s remember Kenny and Malania Ortiz with prayer as the Horizon City Church plant has now covenanted together and let’s be willing to step out in faith for the Glory of God and the good of others.
