A Healthy Church

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The church is a people who have been given a new heart and a new spirit and, by nature of that, are called to follow Christ and make Him known in the world. And, because the church is the sum of all its parts, we will never be like the Acts 2 unless the Holy Spirit has taken up residence in our lives, transforming our hearts to care more about Jesus and less about us.

The Church and the Next Generation

Sun, 05 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

From Deuteronomy 6:1-9, we see the importance of The Shema—loving God with all your heart, soul, and strength—and the need to actively live it out and pass it on to future generations. There is a shared responsibility of families and the church in raising up adolescents, calling for intergenerational ministry where all demographics—parents, grandparents, young adults, and empty-nesters—actively invest in young people. For students, they also must have willing hearts; surround themselves with people who prioritize their faith; and invite mentors into their spiritual journey.

The Way Back Home

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Renovation Process

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

To cast a vision is to help people see what they cannot see. Jesus is helping us to see what we cannot see through the metaphor of a garden. Jesus sees a garden filled with His followers who are always in bloom as they receive their nutrients from Him, and as the Father walks through the garden lovingly pruning the branches so that they may grow and produce more and more fruit.

The Anchor of Peace

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus prepares His followers for their darkest hour, and He does it by setting their expectations. He establishes the fact that, on this side of heaven, they will experience really hard things. Therefore, instead of being shocked or overwhelmed when trials and tribulations come, they should expect them.

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As Christians we will never again have to experience God’s judgment for sin, or His silence and separation. But, we will still experience hard things in life. Hard things that we can’t escape. Moments when the walls are crashing in and it feels like God is distant and silent. In the garden, Jesus models for us how we are to remain faithful.

Power of the Table

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Through history, tables have been the place where negotiations have been made, wars created, and conflict resolved. A table witnesses life’s journey – from a child’s homework to family dinners, romantic dates, introductions and farewells. It collects stories, laughter, arguments, and history, making it more than just a piece of wood, but a silent keeper of life.

The Fire of Failure

Sun, 06 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Jesus calls Peter to be His disciple and to walk on water. Peter confesses who Jesus is: the Messiah. These moments will lead to his fire of failure: denying Jesus. But, his fire of failure was not the end of his story. In this sermon, we’ll examine other important moments after Peter's denial. We will look at the cross, the resurrection, and Peter's restoration on the shore. Peter’s sin was not greater than his Savior’s grace.

If you live life long enough, and if you put yourself out there enough, at some point you are going to experience this feeling of being overwhelmed and in over your head.

Think about a line graph. In your life, there will be dips (dry seasons) and there will be spikes (times of spiritual renewal). But if you zoom out, the trend line should be moving upward toward Christ. That is growth. That is maturity.

The Clock Keeps Ticking

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We all wrestle with time, and the writer of Ecclesiastes wrestled with this same reality. In chapter 3, he takes us into the mystery of time, not to frustrate us or leave us hopeless, but to anchor us. Yielding to God’s will and enjoying Him brings peace and hope that surpasses life’s unpredictability and purpose that endures.

We Are Stewards

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Everything that we have as a church – people, buildings, budgets, opportunities – all of it belongs to God. Our task is not to own, but to manage. Success begins with remembering who all this belongs to.

Thankful Hearts

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Apostle Paul writes to the church in Thessolonica to settle their hearts. At the end of his letter, he gives three short, simple commands – commands that serve as anchors when life is unstable. Rejoice always. Pray continually. Give thanks in ALL circumstances.

Content Hearts

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If we want to experience real joy in this life – then we need to learn to grow in contentment.

Hopeful Hearts

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Biblical hope is not optimism that says, “Man, I sure hope this works out…” No, it is certainty, rooted in God’s character and promises.

The Perils of Abundance

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The Conduit of Wisdom

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Paul would say a healthy church is not an entertainment-driven church or even a celebrity-driven church, but rather a gospel-centered church. True success in ministry is not how many people showed up, or how big a budget is, or how big and nice the building is. True success in ministry is about faithfully preaching the gospel and leaving the results up to God.

The Path to Maturity

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Paul says that there are two kinds of wisdom: the wisdom from the world, and wisdom from God. The way that we discern whether wisdom is coming from God or, from the world, is via the Spirit who works like a conduit from God’s heart to ours.

Healthy Leadership

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The Corinthians had a distorted view of leadership. Paul’s intent is not defend abuse, but to defend the role of healthy pastoral leadership in the church for the benefit of the body.

Love Lived Out

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The Corinthians lived in a sex-obsessed culture, and it led them to have a distorted view of sexuality. Sadly, this has made its way into the church as well. Paul’s intent is to correct this view of sex, teaching us that what we do with and our we relate to our bodies, especially sexual ethics, matters.

Gospel Maturity

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

There is a level of conflict that is happening in the church, and it seems to be getting out of hand. Rather than being mature enough to handle the conflict on their own, they are going outside of the church and airing their dirty laundry, so to speak, before the court system and unbelievers, which Paul is going to infer, hurts the credibility and witness of the church in the community.

Sex Matters

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Marriage Matters

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Because of the danger of sexual immorality, it is a good thing to pursue marriage.

Curing the Disease

Sun, 17 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000

This is a disease that all of us have. Some might admit it, some might not. Some might realize it, while others do not. This disease causes us to max out our credit cards to fill our lives with stuff we don’t need to impress people we don’t like.

What Do We Do When Jesus Doesn’t Meet Our Expectations?

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The King, the long-awaited Messiah, has arrived in all His glory. As the week progresses, the people continue to gather around Him to hear from Him awaiting the moment when He will take His rightful place on the throne and the Jews will finally be set free from their oppressors. However, while the people championed Jesus, the Pharisees saw Jesus as nothing more than a rebel and therefore sought to put an end to this distraction.

What Do We Do When Jesus Exceeds Our Expectations?

Sun, 31 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0000

We all have expectations in life. For most of us, we expect to graduate from high school, go to college, get married, and have kids. For most of us, we expect to get a job, make a certain amount of money, buy a house, and have a happy life. For those with kids, we have expectations for our kids. As kids, we have expectations of our parents. We have expectations of our jobs, of our co-workers, teachers, students, and friends. Life is filled with expectations.

Singleness Matters

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The culture in Corinth is a mess and that mess has made its way into the church. Rather than the church influencing the community around them, it seems the community is influencing the church.

In their culture, much like ours today, the church put a premium on marriage. In many ways, those who were single were considered second-class citizens or incomplete, and therefore treated like something was wrong with them.

Paul has a very different view of singleness.

The Truth About Freedom

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 10:00:00 +0000

In the first century there was a lot of debate about what Christians were allowed to do and not do. Even today, there is much debate about it. So, this morning, we are going to get to the truth about Christian freedom.

Sold Out for the Gospel

Sun, 28 Apr 2024 10:00:00 +0000

What are you giving your life to? What are you "sold out" for? To give your life to something would mean that you are willing to make significant sacrifices to earn or to have that something.

Start Well, Finish Better

Sun, 05 May 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Starting is easy, finishing is hard. In the Christian life, there are a lot of obstacles, some we know about and others we don’t, between here and eternity; and while this is true, it is not so much about how we start but about how well we finish.

Undistracted Worship

Sun, 19 May 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Unfortunately, the church in Corinth had some serious confusion about how they should operate in the church. Some things are getting out-of-hand and the worship services are becoming a bit chaotic. So, Paul is writing them to help them see God’s intent for order when they come together for worship.

Sun, 16 Jun 2024 10:00:00 +0000

John doesn’t say, that we will be identified as a disciple by how well we obey the ten commandments, or by our church attendance, by the persona we display to others, or even by our gifting, but by our love for one another.

It’s the difference between knowing of the Lord but separated from Him forever or knowing Him and being in His midst forever.

Faithology

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 10:00:00 +0000

In this series, we are going to be observing the lives of those that we might consider the “heroes of the faith.” They were people who had real hardships and difficulties. They had real highs and real lows, and yet they put their faith in God and it was because of their faith that God used them to do extraordinary things. It is by faith that God takes ordinary people like me and you and does extraordinary things with it.

Righteous Faith

Sun, 18 Aug 2024 10:00:00 +0000

God doesn’t judge us or accept us based on what we do or don’t do, but by faith in what Christ has done on our behalf.

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Sun, 02 Jan 2022 10:00:00 +0000

How is it possible to have the peace of God in 2022 when I worry and I’m anxious about everything around me? In this sermon, we will look at Philippians 4:6-9 and Matthew 6:25-34 to learn how we can encounter the peace of God whenever we are tempted to worry or be anxious.

What Do You Love Most?

Sun, 17 Jan 2021 10:00:00 +0000

We were created to worship.
As a result of the Fall, we are tempted to worship creation over the Creator.
When worship is ordered rightly, it becomes the lens by which we see everything else.
All of life is worship. As God’s people, we recognize all we have and all we are is a blessing from Him. Together, we present ourselves over to God as faithful worshippers by practicing radical generosity with our time, our finances, our interests, and our homes for the advancement of the gospel in the world.

Sun, 21 Feb 2021 10:00:00 +0000

We were made for a purpose. God’s grace and love compel us into a life of mission from our doorstep to the ends of the earth. This is our calling in which we all participate. We take an integrative approach to God’s mission because we believe missions is who we are and not what we do.

Sun, 08 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

What's Your Story?

Sun, 15 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Continuing the Not Ashamed series, today we will consider the idea that every believer has a story (Luke 19:1-10). Whether a person began to follow Jesus at the age of six through the leading of their family or began to follow Jesus as an adult after years of running from God, the story they have is a fantastic story of God’s grace and love for His children. May we never be ashamed of the story God has written for us!

What's God's Story?

Sun, 22 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

The fourth sermon in the series, Not Ashamed, will examine the gospel from God’s point of view. Ultimately, we will see how God’s salvation of His creation is really His story. The gospel begins and ends with God. It is His story from the start to finish and will not be ashamed of it.

God's Purpose and Plan in Persecution

Sun, 05 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Christians all around the world suffer from persecution. We want to consider God’s purposes in the persecution of his people. The central question that comes to people’s minds when they hear of persecution of other Christians is “Why?” Christian persecution happens according to God’s design for the gospel to advance through a suffering church. The gospel is always advancing!

Shepherding the People of God

Sun, 19 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

God has provided leaders for the church. These leaders (elders/pastors/ministers) are called by God to shepherd the people of God. This is a privilege and responsibility that brings glory to God and joy to the church when done as He instructs.

Serving the People of God

Sun, 26 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

God has provided deacons for the church. Deacons are called by God to serve the people of God. Deacons express the love and care of Christ in tangible ways.

Being the People of God

Sun, 03 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Paul uses a metaphor in our text, saying the church, it’s people, are like a physical human body. We are a fellowship of one body: the body of Christ. We will discuss two key points from this parallel…Unity and Diversity.

Expressions of the People of God

Sun, 17 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

We will look at the early church and discuss the expressions they had as they were filled with the Spirit of God. The Spirit indwells and creates a new people with new expressions. The Spirit and the apostles’ teaching produce glad dependence on God, generosity and fellowship within the church, and great impact in the world.

Loving the People of God

Sun, 24 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

In Revelation 2, Jesus has words of encouragement for the church in Ephesus. He also has some cutting rebukes and severe warnings. Both the encouragements and the rebukes are for the church and designed to help them. We will focus on the love this church abandoned, why that was significant, and what it means for us as a church.

What We Should Expect From Our New Pastor

Sun, 31 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

In Psalm 23, God shares the metaphor of how a good Shepherd leads his flock. We should expect our new pastor to lead us as God leads His people.

What Our Pastor Should Expect From Us

Sun, 14 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000

In 1 Timothy, we see how we should treat our pastors and their families.

What God Requires of His Children - Part One

Sun, 21 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000

In 1 Corinthians 11:23-34 the Apostle Paul gave instructions for how to celebrate the Lord’s Supper together. He explained the meaning of the bread and wine. Then he called for each person to make a spiritual evaluation of his/her own personal life before participation. (v. 28) In this sermon, I will call for us all to take an honest look at our lives before the Lord’s Supper is served based on what Paul wrote in Ephesians 4.

What God Requires of His Children - Part Two

Sun, 28 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Stand fast in our commitment to Christ.
Draw near in confidence in Christ’s provision.
Draw near with sincere hearts that have been purified by salvation.
Draw near with an unwavering hope.
Draw near through loving ministry.
Draw near through faithful attendance.

Wonderful Counselor

Sun, 05 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

This Christmas series will look at the names of Jesus given in the prophecy of Isaiah 9:6. These names are names that will define who He is and what He will do. We find these in an Old Testament prophesy that was given some 700 years before the birth of Christ, in a time when there was a lot of turmoil and fear. This week we will look at the prophetic title of Jesus that he would be called the wonderful counselor.
