Solid Ground Church

The Space Between

December 16, 2018. Today, Marie Collins preaches from the book of Isaiah on four key principles: be careful, keep calm, do not be afraid, and do not lose heart. In the business and stress of the Christmas season, it is important that we be careful navigating this time, keep calm and try not to get overloaded, surround ourselves with encouragers so that we do not fear, and remember God’s faithfulness so we do not lose heart.

Presence Over Presents

December 9, 2018. Today, Pastor Ryan Showalter preaches on the importance of being present. We as Christians give our “thoughts and prayers” and it has become a substitute for action. Biblical prayer is the beginning of action, not the end of it. We value presence over presents. God became flesh and is forever with us. Presence turns the simple into the sacred.

Let There Be Light

December 2, 2018. Today, Pastor Mike begins the Advent Season with look at the very beginning: Genesis 1 and John 1. We all know the world is a dark place. But, why blame the dark for being the dark? It is far more helpful to ask why the light is not as bright as it could be. Jesus came to a dark world as the Light, as God incarnate. Watch what God will do even in the darkest times.

I Can Do Anything I Put My Mind To

November 11, 2018. Today, Pastor Mike concludes his series “Myths We Believe” with a look at Philippians 4:13. This verse is much more than something we quote at a football game or after some great accomplishment. It is truly about contentment and trusting that God will fulfill His promises through the highs and lows. We must learn to be God-sufficient rather than self-sufficient.

Sorry Is Good Enough

November 4, 2018. Today, Pastor Mike continues his series, “Myths We Believe” and preaches from the book of Luke about the story of Zacchaeus. We have all been told empty apologies at some point in our lives. True repentance in an apology means to change and reconcile with those who were wronged. Jesus wants to be close to us and show us this new way to live. For more information about Solid Ground, please visit www.sgbic.com.

God Can Be Added To My List Of Loyalties

October 28, 2018. Today, Pastor Mike preaches from 1 Samuel 5 about idolatry. Idolatry is treating something that is not God as if it were. It is also making God into our own image. God is not something or someone to be added to our list of loyalties. God is to be the center of all things. For more information about Solid Ground, please visit www.sgbic.com.

God Is Pleased With My Goodness

October 21, 2018. Today, Pastor Mike preaches from the book of 1 Samuel. It is a dangerous thought to think that being a Christian simply means acting better than a non-Christian. Christianity is not just about behavior. Our “goodness” is like filthy rags to God! We are made worthy and whole by the blood of Jesus.

God Will Give Me Anything I Want

October 14, 2018. Today, Pastor Mike starts a new series called, “Myths We Believe.” This first myth we will explore is: “God will give me anything I want.” In 1 Samuel, the Israelites thought that having the Ark of the Covenant, “God in a box,” would guarantee victory over the Philistines. Instead, they lost terribly. We cannot make God our genie. God is in charge, we are not, and God loves us. For more information about Solid Ground, please visit www.sgbic.com.

The Church Is A Movement

October 7, 2018. Today, Pastor Mike concludes our series, “Why Church?” with a look at the last part of the book of Acts. We are the Church. We are portable temples of God. As such, we are called to be bold. Be bold in your invitations as you invest in people’s lives. Be bold in your serving instead of just being a bystander. Be bold in your giving. And be bold in your prayers. For more information about Solid Ground, please visit www.sgbic.com.

Better Together

September 30, 2018. Today, Pastor Ryan preaches from the book of 2 Samuel. We have a hard time learning from other people. We can be prideful and think we have to learn things the hard way. But you don’t! We need to learn from different genders, cultures, social classes, political perspectives, and anyone who is simply different. It is possible.
