Ada Bible Church Podcast

Pastor Brad Holmes continues our Make it Real sermon series with a challenge from James to examine our faith. We discover that real faith moves us to act, changes us, and challenges us to trust God. We are reminded to see our lives through the lens of the gospel and God's mercy towards us. If we have experienced God's grace, we live out that grace through our words and actions.

Pastor Aaron Buer continues our sermon series, Make it Real, with a challenge from James to examine our hearts regarding favoritism. We discover when we show partiality, we are not focused on God's glory but our own. Instead, we are reminded to see others through the lens of the gospel and God's mercy towards us. If we have experienced grace, we extend grace; if loved, we love.

Pastor Aaron Buer continues our series Make it Real by challenging us to have a faith that transforms how we live. This real faith is seen in how we use our words, care for the vulnerable, and embrace God's truth. We discover that authentic faith involves speaking life, serving generously, and letting Scripture rather than culture shape our beliefs. We are encouraged to look into the "mirror" of Scripture to grow in making our faith real through actions.

Pastor Aaron Buer begins our series Make it Real by teaching on James 1, offering perspective on trials and hardship. We learn hardship is normal and God can use difficulties to grow our faith. This message challenges us to ask God boldly for what we need in our pain, believing He generously provides because of Christ's sacrifice. We are encouraged to embrace difficulty as an opportunity for maturity, looking to Jesus as the model of endurance who gives us strength.Listen to Beyond the Weekend Podcast HERE.

Pastor Aaron Buer explores the story of Esther and Mordecai, teaching us to navigate confusing situations while honoring God. This message challenges us to resolve to obey God's Word in our confusing situations. We are encouraged to consider how our positions and resources may not just be for us but for serving others. We are reminded that Jesus sacrificed himself to save us from our sins when we seemed beyond hope. We are prompted that if we need a new beginning, we can trust Christ today for the forgiveness and life only He provides.

Pastor Aaron begins our Resolve series by examining the life-changing encounter between Elijah and Elisha. This message encourages us to consider God’s calling in our life and where we need to begin or continue following Jesus in the new year. We are challenged to look at what we need to leave behind in order to follow him. We are invited into accountability and consider “who needs to know” what is happening in our lives. Through the Spirit’s power, we can grow this year to become more of what God has designed us to be.

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.
