Our Mission to Political leaders
1 Timothy 2:1-4
Frank Erb (08/22/10)
| Many people today feel frustration and anger towards our state and national political leaders, and it is easy to see why. In this sermon, we’ll see that these elected officials are actually part of our mission field, and we as God’s people have an important ministry towards them that we dare not overlook. |

Success is Guaranteed
Matthew 28:16-20
Jeff Tollison (08/15/10)

Let the Redeemed Say So
Psalm 107
Jeff Tollison (08/08/10)

Taming the Tongue
James 3:1-12
Walt McCann (07/25/10)
| “I can’t believe I said that!” Who can tame the tongue? Oh, how that tongue of ours can get us into trouble. In the third chapter of James, we will discover the source of the problem and the solution. |

Rich or Poor?
James 2:1-26
Walt McCann (07/18/10)

Maturing Believers
James 1:2-27
Walt McCann (07/11/10)
| You may have noticed that even when you have the best of intentions things don’t always go the way you want them to. You may think, “Why Lord?” In James, a book of wisdom like Proverbs, we will see that God has a purpose in allowing you to experience such things. |

Holy Husbands
Ephesians 5:25-29
Tim Heinze (06/13/10)
| The family in America is falling apart. Christian families are falling apart. How can the problem be fixed? It can’t be fixed through doing. Only through being. Part 1 of a 3-part series discusses what and how a godly husband ought to be. |
 |
The Stealth Sin
Matthew 6:25-34
Tim Heinze (06/06/10)
| There’s a sin that quietly sneaks up on us without our being aware of its presence. It doesn’t loudly announce itself like murder or adultery, but it can be just as dangerous and devastating. What is it, and how does Christ help us to deal with it? |
 |
Cool Water
John 4:3-26

Secure Yet Growing
Philippians 3
Jeff Tollison (11/22/09)
| Security in our relationship with God comes from Him, through the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Self-righteousness is rooted in insecurity and leads to vain pride. Humility comes from a security which we have in spite of our immaturity. Within this secure relationship with God, He works to mature us. In this sermon we’ll see that this perfection process is something we actually experience – not just an abstract idea. |
 |
Just Do It
James 1:22-25
Dan Grocott (08/10/08)
| Hearing without doing causes our hearts to become calloused to the things of God and to the Holy Spirit’s prompting. In this sermon we’ll discover that when we see and understand what God wants us to do, we need to obey it. |
Opportunity Knocks, Answer Zealously
Titus 3:1-8
Jeff Tollison (11/23/08)

The Evidence of True Faith
James 1:19-27
Walt McCann (02/22/09)
| No one appreciates a hypocrite. In this sermon, we look at key factors that we need to know and practice so that we are not numbered among them. |
 |
The Believer on Display
James 1:1-18
Walt McCann (02/15/09)

Jesus Christ is the Same
Hebrews 13:7-17

Going the Limit

Remain
2 Timothy 3:14-17
Jeff Tollison (07/26/09)
| Paul exhorts Timothy to “continue” in the Scriptures as the core duty of his Gospel ministry. This exhortation meets a timid, unsure Timothy who is struggling in the midst of increasing wickedness both inside and outside the church. In this sermon, we hear how to remain in the Scriptures especially in the face of insecurity and suffering. |
 |
Useful to the Master
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Jeff Tollison (08/02/09)
| The true Christian has a desire to be useful to the Master, yet there is a sin problem in his/her life. In this sermon we see how the Scriptures make the Christian complete, thoroughly equipped to become useful to the Master. |

The Work in Israel
Aaron Trank (09/27/09)
| We are pleased to welcome Aaron Trank of Jews for Jesus to OEFC to tell us about the evangelical outreach to young jews in Israel. |

Prayer & Mission as Righteous Rebellion
Luke 18:1-8
Ben Beckner (10/04/09)
| In the midst of a hectic teaching and healing mission, Jesus drops on his unsuspecting disciples a controversial parable on persistent prayer. “And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.” It’s as if he were saying, “In the heat of missional encounter with the world, you have a choice: you can pray and work for God’s kingdom, or you can faint/give up/surrender!”
In this sermon we will see how prayer and perseverance is impacting Europe.
