Christmas 2023. Pastor Jeff Manion shares the hope we have through Jesus. As we celebrate Jesus’s birth we remember the new life available to us through him.

In this special service, Pastor Jeff Manion and the Ada Bible Church elders affirm Pastor Aaron Buer as Ada Bible Church’s new senior pastor. Pastor Jeff Manion reflects on forty years of our church’s history. In this message he challenges us to continue to grow and live in humility, unity and generosity to reach our community and beyond with the Gospel of Jesus.

Pastor Aaron concludes our Tandem series by examining conflict in the early church and the choices they made to maintain unity, emphasize both word and deed and obey God. This message challenges us to pursue unity in our diversity, balance the ministries of both serving and the Word and invite Jesus to transform every area of our lives. Through the Spirit's power, we can overcome our natural tendencies towards division, imbalance and self-rule to unleash the power of the Gospel in our church and community.

Pastor Aaron Buer continues our sermon series Tandem. In this message, he examines four vital commitments that energized the early church's growth: a passion for Scripture, sharing life, meeting needs, and sharing the Gospel. We learn many come to Christ when Christians live out the tandem loving acts and sharing their faith. This message challenges us to wholeheartedly embrace these same priorities, believing the Holy Spirit can do through us what he did 2,000 years ago. It reminds us that to reach our community, we must stay focused on biblical priorities individually and together.

Guest Speaker John Dickson continues our Tandem series by exploring what fueled the astonishing growth of the early Christian church. We learn from inspiring examples like Macrina, Gregory, and Basil that when Christians live out the gospel with actions as well as words, we can point even hostile minds toward Christ. This message challenges us to take Jesus's words in the Sermon on the Mount seriously, letting our light shine with genuine mercy, love, and service that draws people to glorify our Father.

Pastor Jeff Manion beings our Tandem sermon series by examining the vital connection between faith and action. He explores how the gospel is an announcement of what Christ has accomplished for us, not something we do ourselves. We learn that though faith and works are distinguished, they must go together just as the kingdom goes with the King. This message helps us understand salvation by grace that changes us to live out the gospel by serving others.

Pastor Jeff Manion concludes our Rebuild series by focusing on maintaining focus amidst distractions and threats that seek to derail us at the end of a rebuild project. He examines how Nehemiah faced internal division and external attacks as the wall neared completion. We learn that finishing well requires resolving conflicts, radical generosity, pushing through betrayal, and refusing distraction. This message challenges us to persevere in the rebuilds God calls us to, staying focused on His purposes despite obstacles that arise along the way.

Pastor Jeff Manion continues our Rebuild series In Nehemiah by highlighting the importance of perseverance in any rebuilding project. He examines how the people faced discouragement, exhaustion, and threats yet still continued rebuilding the wall. We learn that beginning the work is crucial but continuing through challenges is vital to see God's purposes fulfilled. This message inspires us to identify areas of weakness and vulnerability so we can rely on God's strength to persevere as we keep building for His glory.

Pastor Aaron Buer continues our series Rebuild by teaching how a life of meaning and signifance comes through rebuilding. He examines how the most significant rebuilds are often for the benefit of others as we serve those around us. We are also challenged to recognize the building work God calls us to that is right in front of us and often at home. We learn we are called to build together within the church and that God has called, created and equipped us to serve as Jesus did.

Pastor Aaron Buer continues our series Rebuild by exploring the character qualities needed for rebuilding. He highlights the traits of humility to examine the situation, honesty to admit the problems, initiative to take the first steps and endurance to push through opposition. We learn we can trust God to empower us for the task as we rebuild our lives and relationships. This message challenges us to identify areas needing repair and start the rebuilding process, drawing on God-honoring character traits to persevere.
