Sun, 14 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400

From John 4:43-54. In this passage, a man is told by Jesus that his dying son would live. Without seeing the evidence, he took Jesus at his word - and indeed, his son did get better! Do we have the kind of faith that believes in God's word?

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Sun, 20 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0400

From 1 John 2:15-17; 1 Peter 1:13-16 and Luke 8:13-14. It's so easy to take our eyes off of Jesus and to walk according to the ways of this world. That kind of distracted walking can lead to idolatry.

From Mark 7:1-8 & Revelation 2:2-6. How's your heart doing with God? In this sermon series, we want to let God show us how near we are to him, how our love for him is doing.

Is Christianity too Narrow? ("Tough Questions" series)

Sun, 23 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -0500

Many people view Christianity according to the things it tells us not to do. Many people assume Christians are too judgmental.

In this sermon, we consider how God has graciously shown us the narrow road that leads to life.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

How Could a Loving God Allow Pain & Suffering? ("Tough Questions" series)

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -0500

We all know what it means to face pain and suffering. Why do we have to? Some people suggest that, if God is both strong and loving, he would take our pain & suffering away. In this sermon, I want to show you that God has a good reason for allowing pain & suffering. I also want to show you how God helps us in the midst of our pain & suffering.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sun, 19 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Forgiveness & Guidance (Psalms series)

Sun, 05 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -0500

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Adoration & Thanksgiving (Psalms series)

Sun, 28 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -0500

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Forgetting & Remembering (Psalms series)

Sun, 21 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Sun, 31 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -0400

After the Flood (Genesis 1-11 series)

Sun, 24 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -0400

Sun, 25 Jun 2017 00:00:00 -0400

Romans 3:21-26 We were dead and hopeless in sin. But because of his grace, Jesus died in our place as a perfect and worthy sacrifice. The atonement shows the love of God, that he made a way for undeserving people to be with Him. But it also shows the justice of God. That there were in fact sins to be atoned for. Without justice and a tremendous cost of sin, the atonement of Christ makes no sense. We see the cost of sin and the wrath of God for sin on the cross. ____________________________________________________________________________

Name changer

Romans 8:14-17 The son of God died so we could be God’s sons. Through the gospel, there are many gracious things that God does in the lives of believers. He forgives us of our sins. He sanctifies us by His Spirit. He prepares a place for us in heaven. Tremendous blessings from God. But the gospel is also fundamentally relational. When we come to faith in God, we become members of God’s family. We are adopted as God’s children. And we are enabled to approach the Almighty creator of the universe as our “father.” __________________________________________________________________________________

Behind the Veil

Sun, 11 Jun 2017 00:00:00 -0400

2 Corinthians 3:18 Sanctification is the process by which God makes his people holy. To be a Christian is to be sanctified by God. It’s necessary because all who have faith in the gospel are given the Holy Spirit and we are sanctified through the Spirit. It progresses throughout life. It should be something to give a Christian hope: God works in His followers. God makes the unholy holy. __________________________________________________________________________________

100-zero

Sun, 28 May 2017 00:00:00 -0400

Galatians 2:15-21 It's so natural for us to believe that our right standing before God is based on our own obedience and morality. In some ways, we like that sense of control. But the Bible is clear that we cannot earn the grace of God. It is freely given to all who accept it. The gospel isn't to "just basically be a good person." It's to turn from sin and turn to Jesus, and when we accept that free gift of grace, we are forgiven of our sins. ____________________________________________________________________________

(Re)born

Sun, 21 May 2017 00:00:00 -0400

John 3:1-5 Jesus said "unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." It's not negotiable that we must be born again.
