Something Has to Die Before Resurrection | Romans 6:1-11

Before there can ever be resurrection, something has to die! In this Baptism Sunday message from Romans 6, Pastor Chris Buscher [https://www.facebook.com/cmbuscher87] explains the biblical meaning of water baptism and why believers are baptized into Christ's death before walking in newness of life. Baptism is not what saves us. Jesus does. Baptism declares that our old life has been crucified with Christ and that our hope is found entirely in Him.

When Home DOESN'T Look Like Enough | Luke 15:11-32

Why do so many people leave the Father's house searching for something more?

The God who calls you Mine | Pastor Chris Buscher

Too many people spend their lives trying to prove their worth.* Trying to earn acceptance.* Trying to justify their existence.* Trying to find identity in what they do rather than who they belong to.In this message from Isaiah 43, Pastor Chris Buscher [https://www.facebook.com/cmbuscher87]reminds us that God formed us before the world labeled us, redeemed us before we could save ourselves, and called us His before He ever called us to an assignment.If you've ever felt overlooked, replaceable, forgotten, or exhausted from trying to measure up, this message points back to one unchanging truth:"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine." - Isaiah 43:1Pastor Chris Buscher [https://www.facebook.com/cmbuscher87]Mountain Valley ChapelGold Bar, Washington

The Harvest Is Ready, But the Church Is Not | Pentecost Fire and the Holy Spirit

The harvest field has never been bigger. More souls are alive today than at any other point in human history!We have more churches, technology, conferences, and content...But where is the conviction?Where is the fire?Where is the power of the Holy Spirit?In this bold Pentecost message from Acts 2, Pastor Chris Buscher [https://www.facebook.com/cmbuscher87] walks through the birth of the Church and why the Upper Room still is relevant today.In this message:Why Jesus told the disciples to WAIT before ministryWhy surrender always comes before fireWhat Pentecost was really aboutWhy Spirit-filled believers are dangerous to the kingdom of darknessWhy the harvest is not waiting for better church programsWhy revival without repentance is powerlessThe early Church was not built on branding, or performance. It was built by surrendered believers filled with the Holy Spirit and burdened for souls.Scripture: Acts 2:1-8 (ESV)Preached at Mountain Valley Chapel [https://www.facebook.com/mvc.goldbar] in Gold Bar, WashingtonPastor Chris Buscher [https://www.facebook.com/cmbuscher87]
