Message: “Thanksgiving Praise” – Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture: Psalm 100

1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come into his presence with singing.3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Give thanks to him, bless his name.5 For the Lord is good;

Message: “The Raising of Lazarus” – Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture: John 11:17-44:

17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the
tomb four days. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, some two miles away, 19 and
many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother. 20
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed
at home. 21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not
have died. 22 But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him.” 23
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha said to him, “I know that he
will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the
resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, 26
and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She
said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one
coming into the world.” 28 When she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, and told her
privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard it, she
got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still
at the place where Martha had met him. 31 The Jews who were with her in the house,
consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out. They followed her because they
thought that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 When Mary came where
Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been
here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews
who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved.
34 He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35
Jesus began to weep. 36 So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” 37 But some of
them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man
from dying?”38 Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone
was lying against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the
deadman, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four
days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the
glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said,
“Father, I thank you for having heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I have
said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent
me.” 43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The
dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped
in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

Message: “Healing the Man Blind Since Birth” – Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture: John 9:1-12, 35-41

As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples
asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3
Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that
God’s works might be revealed in him. 4 We must work the works of him who sent me
while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I
am the light of the world.” 6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made
mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes, 7 saying to him, “Go, wash
in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back
able to see. 8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to
ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some were saying, “It is he.”
Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” 10
But they kept asking him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered, “The
man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and
wash.’ Then I went and washed and received my sight.” 12 They said to him, “Where is
he?” He said, “I do not know.”… 35 Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when
he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 He answered, “And who is
he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him,
and the one speaking with you is he.” 38 He said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped
him. 39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see
may see, and those who do see may become blind.” 40 Some of the Pharisees near him
heard this and said to him, “Surely we are not blind, are we?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If
you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.

Message: “Walking on Water” – Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture: John 6:16-21 16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a
boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet
come to them. 18 The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When
they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and
coming near the boat, and they were terrified. 20 But he said to them, “It is I; do not be
afraid.” 21 Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat
reached the land toward which they were going.

Message: “Feeding the 5,000” – Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture: John 6:1-15 1 After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called
the Sea of Tiberias.2 A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that
he was doing for the sick. 3 Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his
disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near. 5 When he looked up
and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy
bread for these people to eat?” 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he
was going to do. 7 Philip answered him, “Six months’ wages would not buy enough
bread for each of them to get a little.” 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s
brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But
what are they among so many people?” 10 Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.”
Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand
in all. 11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed
them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 When
they were satisfied, he told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over, so that
nothing may be lost.” 13 So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five
barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. 14 When the
people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, “This is indeed the prophet
who is to come into the world.” 15 When Jesus realized that they were about to come
and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

Message: “Healing the Royal Official’s Son”- Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture Reading: John 4:46-54: 47 Then he came again to Cana in Galilee where he had changed the
water into wine. Now there was a royal official whose son lay ill in Capernaum. 47 When
he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come
down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him,
“Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.” 49 The official said to him, “Sir,
come down before my little boy dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The
man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started on his way. 51 As he was
going down, his slaves met him and told him that his child was alive. 52 So he asked
them the hour when he began to recover, and they said to him, “Yesterday at one in the
afternoon the fever left him.” 53 The father realized that this was the hour when Jesus
had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he himself believed, along with his whole
household. 54 Now this was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to
Galilee.

Message – “Water to Wine”- Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture Reading: John 2:1-11: 1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother
of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3
When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet
come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Now standing
there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or
thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to
the brim. 8 He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward.” So
they took it. 9 When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not
know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the
steward called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first,
and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the
good wine until now.” 11 Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and
revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Message Title – “Remembering” – Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture Reading: Deut 8:1-20:

This entire commandment that I command you today you must diligently
observe, so that you may live and increase, and go in and occupy the land that the Lord
promised on oath to your ancestors. 2 Remember the long way that the Lord your God
has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you, testing you to
know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commandments. 3 He
humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither
you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one
does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
4 The clothes on your back did not wear out and your feet did not swell these forty
years. 5 Know then in your heart that as a parent disciplines a child so the Lord your
God disciplines you. 6 Therefore keep the commandments of the Lord your God, by
walking in his ways and by fearing him. 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a
good land, a land with flowing streams, with springs and underground waters welling up
in valleys and hills, 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and
pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey, 9 a land where you may eat bread
without scarcity, where you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron and from
whose hills you may mine copper. 10 You shall eat your fill and bless the Lord your God
for the good land that he has given you.
11 Take care that you do not forget the Lord your God, by failing to keep his
commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I am commanding you today.
12 When you have eaten your fill and have built fine houses and live in them, 13 and
when your herds and flocks have multiplied, and your silver and gold is multiplied, and
all that you have is multiplied, 14 then do not exalt yourself, forgetting the Lord your
God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, 15 who led
you through the great and terrible wilderness, an arid wasteland with poisonous snakes
and scorpions. He made water flow for you from flint rock, 16 and fed you in the
wilderness with manna that your ancestors did not know, to humble you and to test you,
and in the end to do you good. 17 Do not say to yourself, “My power and the might of
my own hand have gotten me this wealth.” 18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is
he who gives you power to get wealth, so that he may confirm his covenant that he
swore to your ancestors, as he is doing today. 19 If you do forget the Lord your God and
follow other gods to serve and worship them, I solemnly warn you today that you shall
surely perish. 20 Like the nations that the Lord is destroying before you, so shall you
perish, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.

Message Title: “God’s Presence” – Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture Reading: Ex 40:34-38 – 34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord
filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the
cloud settled upon it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 Whenever the
cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out on each stage of
their journey; 37 but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day
that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire
was in the cloud by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel at each stage of their
journey.

Message Title: “The Golden Calf”- Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture Reading: Exodus 32:1-4 1 When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the
mountain, the people gathered around Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make gods for
us, who shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the
land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” 2 Aaron said to them, “Take
off the gold rings that are on the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and
bring them to me.” 3 So all the people took off the gold rings from their ears, and
brought them to Aaron. 4 He took the gold from them, formed it in a mold,[a] and cast an
image of a calf; and they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out
of the land of Egypt!”

Message Title: “Manna from Heaven” – Pastor Len Tiso

Scripture Reading: Exodus 16:1-8,13-15,35 1 The whole congregation of the Israelites set out from Elim;
and Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the
fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt. 2 The
whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the
wilderness. 3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in
the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate our fill of bread; for you have
brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each
day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day. In that way I will test them,
whether they will follow my instruction or not. 5 On the sixth day, when they prepare
what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on other days.” 6 So Moses
and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “In the evening you shall know that it was the Lord
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, 7 and in the morning you shall see the glory of
the Lord, because he has heard your complaining against the Lord. For what are we,
that you complain against us?” 8 And Moses said, “When the Lord gives you meat to
eat in the evening and your fill of bread in the morning, because the Lord has heard the
complaining that you utter against him—what are we? Your complaining is not against
us but against the Lord.”… 13 In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and
in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. 14 When the layer of dew
lifted, there on the surface of the wilderness was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost
on the ground. 15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For
they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has
given you to eat…. 35 The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a
habitable land; they ate manna, until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

Message Title: :”Fear Not”

Scripture Reading: Ex 14:10-14: 10 As Pharaoh drew near, the Israelites looked back, and there were the
Egyptians advancing on them. In great fear the Israelites cried out to the Lord. 11 They
said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us
away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us, bringing us out of Egypt? 12
Is this not the very thing we told you in Egypt, ‘Let us alone and let us serve the
Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in
the wilderness.” 13 But Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see
the deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you
see today you shall never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to
keep still.”

Message Title: “The Prodigal God”

Scripture Reading: Luke 15:1-3,11-32

1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to
him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This fellow
welcomes sinners and eats with them.” 3 So he told them this parable:…
11 Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger of them said
to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.’ So he
divided his property between them. 13 A few days later the younger son gathered all he
had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute
living. 14 When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that
country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to one of the
citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. 16 He would gladly
have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him
anything. 17 But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired
hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! 18 I will get up
and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and
before you; 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your
hired hands.”’ 20 So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his
father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and
kissed him. 21 Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and
before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 But the father said to his
slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his
finger and sandals on his feet. 23 And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and
celebrate; 24 for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’
And they began to celebrate.

Message Title: “The Greatest Commandment”

Scripture Reading: Mark 12:28-34

28 One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one
another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment
is the first of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the
Lord is one; 30 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your
soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this, ‘You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” 32
Then the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that ‘he is one,
and besides him there is no other’; 33 and ‘to love him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the strength,’ and ‘to love one’s neighbor as oneself,’—this
is much more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 When Jesus
saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
After that no one dared to ask him any question.
