How far is east from west? In this powerful message, Pastor Putnam explores the immeasurable mercy of God and His willingness to forgive those who genuinely repent and turn to Him. Drawing from Psalm 103:8–12, this sermon reminds us that God's mercy reaches farther than our greatest failures, and His forgiveness can free us from the guilt, shame, and condemnation of our past. Through the stories of Adam and Eve, David, the prodigal son, and Saul of Tarsus, we are reminded that God continues to call us out of hiding and invites us into restoration, transformation, and new life through Jesus Christ. This message challenges us to stop running from God, surrender our lives completely to Him, and trust in the peace that only His presence can provide. No matter how far we have wandered, God's mercy is available when we turn back to Him. To learn more about what God is doing in Sheboygan County and beyond, visit us at posc.church!

Join Pastor Putnam for another lesson in The Fruit of the Spirit series as he explores the topic of Meekness. This message teaches us that meekness is not weakness, but rather strength under control and a willingness to surrender our lives to the authority of Jesus Christ. Through the example of Jesus Christ and the humility of Moses, we learn the importance of walking in humility, responding to criticism with grace, serving others without seeking recognition, and trusting God to fulfill His purpose in our lives. Meekness challenges us to surrender our pride, ambitions, personal desires, and need for recognition so that our actions and attitudes reflect the character of Christ. As we grow spiritually, the goal is not to become more impressed with ourselves, but to allow others to see more of Jesus in us. This lesson encourages us to examine our hearts, practice humility in our relationships, and serve faithfully even when no one is watching.

In this powerful message, Finish the Race, Pastor Putnam encourages believers to remain faithful to Jesus Christ through every season of life. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1–2 and the illustration of runners crossing the finish line of a marathon, he reminds us that the Christian journey is not about how quickly we run, but about enduring faithfully until the end. Through biblical examples such as Elijah and Peter, we are reminded that weariness is not defeat, failure does not have to be final, and God's grace gives us the strength to rise again. Pastor Putnam challenges us to lay aside every weight and sin that hinders our spiritual growth, remain disciplined in prayer and God's Word, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus when the road becomes difficult. No matter what challenges, disappointments, or battles we face, we must refuse to give up. Our ultimate victory is not found in worldly recognition or earthly accomplishments, but in fulfilling God's purpose for our lives and keeping the faith until the end. The challenge is simple: Don't quit before the finish line! Keep moving toward Jesus, finish the course God has set before you, and live for the day when you hear Him say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” To learn more about what God is doing in Sheboygan County and beyond, visit us at posc.church!

In Lesson 7 of The Fruit of the Spirit series, Bro. Sam Weber explores the importance of faithfulness in the life of a believer. Through Scripture, we are reminded that faithfulness is more than simply believing in God—it is demonstrated through our daily choices, our commitment to His Word, and our willingness to remain steadfast in every season of life. This message highlights the importance of being faithful in the little things, serving God with integrity, and persevering even when the journey becomes difficult. As followers of Christ, we are called to be dependable stewards of what God has entrusted to us, never growing weary in doing good, and remaining faithful even in the face of trials. Join us as we discover how the fruit of faithfulness can grow in our lives and reflect the character of Christ to those around us. May this message encourage you to remain steadfast, trust God through every circumstance, and faithfully serve Him until the end.

In this message, Prepare the Way, Bro. Sam Weber challenges us to prepare our hearts and lives for the work of the Lord. Through the examples of John the Baptist, the promises of Scripture, and the call to be witnesses for Christ, we are reminded that God has a purpose for each of us and desires to use us to reach others with His truth. This message encourages us to examine our hearts, walk in the good works God has prepared for us, and boldly share the hope of Jesus Christ. Even in seasons of uncertainty or difficulty, we can remain faithful, trusting in God's promises and rejoicing in His strength. Are we preparing the way for the Lord to work in and through us?

Join Pastor Putnam for Lesson 6 of the The Fruit of the Spirit series, focusing on the powerful topic of Goodness. In this lesson, we learn that biblical goodness is more than simply being a “good person” or avoiding doing wrong. Goodness is righteousness put into action—a visible expression of a life transformed by the Holy Spirit. Pastor Putnam challenges us to move beyond simply avoiding evil and instead actively overcome evil with good. Through the example of Jesus, the Good Samaritan, and Scripture, we are encouraged to live lives marked by integrity, compassion, generosity, service, and practical acts of kindness. True goodness asks, “How can I make someone’s life better?” rather than, “What can someone do for me?” As believers, we are called to be the light of the world—not merely talking about the darkness around us, but allowing the Spirit of God to produce goodness through our lives. Our actions should point people toward Jesus and demonstrate what His love looks like. To learn more about what God is doing in Sheboygan County and beyond, visit us at posc.church!

In Lesson 5 of The Fruit of the Spirit series, Pastor Putnam teaches on the importance of kindness and gentleness as evidence of a life being transformed by the Holy Spirit. This message reminds us that being filled with the Holy Ghost is more than an experience—it should be reflected in the way we live, speak, respond, and treat others. Through the example of Jesus, we are challenged to be people who are approachable, compassionate, forgiving, and willing to show kindness even when others give us reasons not to. Pastor Putnam encourages us to understand that gentleness is not weakness, but strength under control. Kindness can open doors that arguments never will, build trust, soften hearts, and demonstrate the Gospel through our everyday actions. As we walk with Christ, the goal is for His character to become increasingly visible in us. We are challenged to leave people better than we found them and to intentionally demonstrate the kindness of God wherever we go.

In this powerful message, “The Door Is Still Open,” Bro. Joseph Putnam reminds us of God’s mercy, patience, and the opportunity we still have to respond to Him. Through the story of Noah and the warning of coming judgment, we are challenged to recognize that God provides a way of salvation and calls us to walk in faith and obedience. From creation and humanity’s choices to the days of Noah and Jesus’ teaching about the end times, Scripture reminds us that God is patient and desires that people turn toward Him. The door of opportunity remains open, but we are called to respond while we have the opportunity. This message encourages us to have faith, remain watchful, share the Gospel, and faithfully fulfill the Great Commission. The door is still open—will we walk through it?

In this lesson of The Fruit of the Spirit series, Sis. Cheryl Budworth explores the biblical meaning of longsuffering—learning to patiently endure trials, difficulties, and challenging circumstances while continuing to trust God. Through Scripture, we are reminded that trials can produce patience, strengthen our faith, and develop spiritual maturity. Longsuffering reflects the character of God and calls us to walk with humility, patience, and love toward others. This message encourages us to wait on the Lord, remain faithful through difficult seasons, and endure to the end, trusting that God is working even when we cannot see the outcome.

In this powerful message, “Holding Forth the Word of Life,” Bishop John E. Putnam challenges us to live out our faith faithfully and shine as lights in a world that desperately needs the truth of God’s Word. Drawing from Philippians 2:12–16, this message reminds us of the importance of working out our salvation, living without murmuring or compromise, and holding firmly to the Word of Life. Through Scripture, we are reminded that Jesus is the Word made flesh, that He has not left us comfortless, and that we have been called and commissioned to take the Gospel to others. As believers, our lives are to serve as a testimony of God's transforming power, pointing others toward Christ. May this message encourage you to stand firm in your faith, faithfully share the Gospel, and hold forth the Word of Life wherever God has placed you.

In Lesson 3 of The Fruit of the Spirit, Bro. Sam Weber explores the biblical meaning of peace and how it is produced in the life of a believer through the work of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Galatians 5:22–23 and other passages, this message reminds us that God’s peace is not dependent on our circumstances. Jesus offers a peace that goes beyond what the world can provide, and Scripture teaches us to bring our worries, fears, and burdens to Him. Through John 14:26–27, Philippians 4:6–7, 1 Peter 5:7, and Isaiah 26:3, we are encouraged to trust God, cast our cares upon Him, and keep our minds focused on Him. Discover how walking in the Spirit allows God’s peace to guard our hearts and minds, even in difficult seasons.

In this powerful message, Sis. Cheryl Budworth shares “Anointed, but Hiding...Coming Out from Behind the Baggage.” Drawing from 1 Samuel 10:20–27 NLT, we explore the story of Saul, who was chosen and anointed by God yet found hiding among the baggage. Sometimes fear, insecurity, past failures, or uncertainty can cause us to hide from the very purpose God has called us to fulfill. Through additional scriptures including 1 Samuel 10:22, 1 Samuel 13:13–14, Proverbs 3:5–6, 1 Samuel 15:22, and 2 Timothy 1:7, this message reminds us to trust God, walk in obedience, and move forward in the calling He has placed on our lives. God has not given us a spirit of fear. It’s time to stop hiding behind the baggage and step into the purpose, anointing, and plan that God has prepared for us.

In Lesson 2 of The Fruit of the Spirit series, Pastor Putnam explores the powerful subject of Joy. Discover the difference between happiness and true biblical joy—a joy that is not controlled by circumstances, people, possessions, or success, but is produced by the Holy Spirit. Through Scripture and the example of Paul and Silas, this message reminds us that we can still worship in the midnight hour, remain thankful in difficult seasons, and find strength in the joy of the Lord. Learn how gratitude, worship, guarding your mind, and keeping your eyes on eternity can help cultivate a joy that remains. Join Pastor Putnam for this encouraging lesson and discover how to experience spiritual stability in an unstable world through the joy that comes from the Spirit.

In this powerful message, Pastor Putnam challenges us to consider an important question: What has God already spoken to us that we have failed to put into practice? “The Forgotten Message” reminds us that hearing the Word, agreeing with the Word, and even feeling convicted by the Word is not enough. True transformation happens when we become doers of the Word and allow what God speaks to change the way we live. Join Pastor Putnam as he explores the danger of becoming comfortable hearing sermons without responding to them and encourages us to ask, not just, “What a message?” but, “What must I change?” Don’t just hear it—live it. Don’t just underline it—obey it. Let the message walk out of the church with you and become part of your life.
