Sermon Series: Vision
Sermon: Between Two Worlds
Speaker: Rev. Dan Wunderlich
Scripture: Habakkuk 2:1-4
Description: Perhaps the hardest part of the visioning process is not actually coming up with an exciting vision. It is comparatively easy to dream about exciting an impactful things to do. But getting from a world in which we have plans to a world in which the vision is coming to life often requires waiting on God's timing.

Sermon Series: Vision
Sermon: Willing, Ready and Listening
Speaker: Rev. Dan Wunderlich
Scripture: 1 Samuel 3: 1-10
Description: Throughout Scripture, the "word of the Lord" is regularly tied to "vision." What we read in the Bible and what we hear from God is not simply for our own information or encouragement, but it is meant to come alive and make a tangible difference. What the Church desperately needs to do, especially with emerging generations, is make visible the impact that faithfulness has on our lives and the world around us.

Sermon Series: Vision
Sermon: Stop, Start, Continue
Speaker: Rev. Dan Wunderlich
Scripture: Acts 9: 1-22
Description: We have all experienced the feeling of being stuck. The feeling that something has to change for us to make it to the next level in our professional lives, personal relationships, or faith journeys. Even the Apostle Paul had a moment like this, where everything he thought he knew was challenged by Christ himself. Paul wasn't all bad, but an encounter with the Messiah opened his eye to the things he needed to discard to move forward in relationship with God.

Sermon Series: Dreaming in the Deep Water
Sermon: Reality and Dreams
Speaker: Rev. Dan Wunderlich
Scripture: Luke 5:1-11
Description: When we make the decision to trust and follow Jesus, we will come to better see and understand who Jesus really is. And in coming to better understand Jesus, it actually helps us to better understand ourselves. For Simon, this caused a moment of fear, but for Jesus, it was the moment he was waiting for to call him to be a disciple. 

Sermon Series: Dreaming in the Deep Water
Sermon: Finding Faith in the Deep Water
Speaker: Rev. Dan Wunderlich
Scripture: Luke 5: 1-11
Description: Have you ever gotten the sense that Jesus is asking you to do something outside of your comfort zone? Or something that you don't think will work and might actually be risky? How we respond in these moments says a lot about who we believe Jesus to be. 

Sermon Series: Dreaming In The Deep Water
Sermon: There's Someone In My Boat
Speaker: Rev. Dan Wunderlich
Scripture: Luke 5:1-11
Description: Peter had met Jesus before, he had heard him speak, and he had benefitted from one of Jesus' miracles. But today, Jesus was the one asking for a favor, and in doing so he was changing their relationship. In that moment, Peter had a choice: decline for any number of reasons, or say yes and open himself up to a life he could never have imagined.
