Noel Piepgrass kicks off this advent-themed teaching series on worship by looking at examples from the Christmas story and Paul’s letter to the Romans.
In Matthew 24:36-25:13, Jesus continues his Sermon on Signs with 4 stories about how to find oneself ready upon his second coming. Noel Piepgrass shares how readiness involves Accepting Jesus as Lord, Adopting Jesus’s way of living, and Advocating for Jesus to the world around us. (The first 10 minutes of this recording were not recorded live and had to be added in afterward.)
In this message, Noel shows us how Judas’s shame brought about his self-destruction. We too battle shame, but we have hope in Jesus who sets us free!
Giving to Caesar what is Caesar while giving to God what is God’s is a complicated task, especially in a politically charged culture. Noel Piepgrass preaches part 2 in hopes of helping us understand how to apply Matthew 22:15-22 within the lens of 1 Peter 2, Romans 13, and the life of Daniel.
In Matthew 13 Jesus gives a sermon using parables, short stories with a moral to them. In verses 10-17, we see Jesus quote a passage from the book of Isaiah which effectively communicates to the audience that his use of parables is the most impactful way to help his audience hear and see the mysteries of the Kingdom. In this message, Noel goes on to share his own story and invites the listener into the story God is writing over their own lives and over the life of Exeter Valley Church.
In Matthew 10:16-23, Jesus gives his disciples a warning about the troubles to come as they continue on mission with him. In this passage we see that in Jesus pain has a purpose and it comes with a promise. By Noel Piepgrass
Noel leads us through a 4 part series on the distinct values we hold as a church. In this message he shows us what the Bible is, why we can trust it, and how we can live lives of obedience.
