Arundel Christian Church's Podcast

Today, Pastor Matt Ousdahl delivers "From Prostitute to Protected," where we study the story of Rahab, a prostitute in the city of Jericho who took the bold action of hiding spies and lying to the king's men about it so that Joshua's army could take the city.  This act of faith saved Rahab and her family, providing them a path to protection from the war.  We will learn today how we, too, can make a path to protection where we can rest protected by God.

Today Pastor Matt Ousdahl will continue our Metamorphosis series and focus on Saul/Paul, a man who persecuted the followers of Jesus until having a personal encounter and becoming a believer himself.  After that happened and Paul began preaching, the leaders began to persecute him!  We will study how Paul's life changed after he met the resurrected Jesus.  

The next sermon in the Metamorphosis series is From Possessed to Proclaimer, in which we will examine the story of Mary Magdalene's gratitude after being free from demons. Pastor Matt Ousdahl will teach us the meaning of gratitude and help us discover ways that we can show our gratitude to God for our salvation.  

Today we begin a new series called Metamorphosis.  Our first lesson in this series is "Caterpillar to Butterfly," in which Pastor Matt explains the before-and-after story of Matthew, who was a tax collector prior to meeting Jesus and becoming one of his disciples.  We'll learn how the worst of sinners is still called to serve with Jesus.  

Love God, Love Others -- A radical call to action.  Pastor Michael Montgomery highlights the challenge of being loving always instead of when it's convenient.  Join us to learn why we're called to love the person we least want to love. 

We finish our study of the book of Ruth today! Pastor Matt teaches how God's timing is perfect, and how God is ultimately our redeemer. We learn who will redeem Ruth, and how her story ties into the story of Christmas. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of our study in the book of Ruth!

Today we continue our study of the book of Ruth.  In chapter 3, we learn that Boaz is an honorable man who is looking out for Ruth and Naomi's best interests and shows unconditional love, just as Jesus does for us.  

Our study of the book of Ruth continues today with a lesson about the Kinsman Redeemer.  Our focus for this part of the story is on Boaz, a relative of Naomi's who looked out for Ruth as she worked gleaning in the fields.  Pastor Matt will show how the story of Boaz is similar to the story of Jesus and his unconditional love for us.  

Today we will begin our study of the book of Ruth with Pastor Matt's sermon "Sovereignty and Goodness" which covers the first chapter and gives us a glimpse of the backstory of Ruth and Naomi. 

Today Pastor Mike ties together the last sermon of our series "Angels and Demons."  For the past two weeks, we have been learning about the role of angels and demons throughout history into today's modern world. But what about US?  We're stuck somewhere in the middle of a war over God's kingdom.  What should we be doing, how do we survive that battle? 

Today is our second sermon in the series titled “Angels & Demons”. Last week, we learned about Angels and in continuation of the series, this week we will learn about Demons. Pastor John teaches us how to recognize true Demons.

We are beginning a new series called Angels and Demons.  Today we will study angels, as Pastor Matt teaches us how to recognize true angels, what they are, and what they do.  

Today we will take a short break from sermon series so that Pastor Matt can teach a one-off message about voting in accordance with Christian values and worldview.  We will learn how to evaluate the candidates and vote our beliefs and still accept government authority on issues outside of faith.  

Today the new student pastor (Pastor Mike) takes the stage to teach us how Paul encouraged the church at Colossae to respond when the world pressured them to give up their faith in Jesus and conform to society's expectations.  This story is applicable to our modern-day situation, as Christians still experience persecution for being believers.  

Today we continue our study of the book of Colossians with a lesson on how to "stand out" and how that relates to servitude, both in terms of the ancient system of bond slavery and how we currently serve with our employers, our homes, and our faith.  

Today is Vision Sunday, where Pastor Matt and church leadership will unveil the vision for Arundel Christian Church for how the church should grow, minister, and mission for the next year. If you are interested in the church's future direction, be sure to come to one of our services!  

Today we will continue our study of the book of Colossians with the sermon "Building a Healthy Home."  Pastor Matt will explain the subtext of one of the most controversial passages in Colossians -- the relationship between wives and husbands, and parents and children. Why does the Bible tell wives to submit to their husbands?  We will learn how this applies to the church's relationship with Jesus.  

Today we continue our study of the book of Colossians with a focus on Colossians 3:12-17.  Up to this point, we have learned that Jesus is enough, no extra additives needed, but that when we accept Jesus, we need to make some changes to be sure our lives align with God's plan for us.  But have you ever struggled to know what God's will is?  Today Pastor Matt will explain how we can discern God's will.  

Pastor Matt returns with the next sermon in our study of the book of Colossians, the letter Paul wrote to the church in Colosse while he was in prison.  In this week's message, we learn what our next steps are once we are reborn in the spirit.  In essence, our usual "What now God?" challenge at the end of the sermon actually BECOMES the sermon as we learn what changes we need to make going forward.  

Guest pastor Ryan Vandelinde takes the stage today to deliver our next sermon in the study of Colossians, "The Born Supremacy."  Jesus, from the beginning, was and is sufficient and supreme -- but is He supreme in your life? Join us for the case study of Plywood Village, demonstrating that Jesus alone is enough.
