    Humility Month | Part 4 - The Reward of Humility (Mark 10:35-45)

    Humility Month | Part 3 - The Practice of Humility (John 13:1-17)

    This Sunday's message examined an action by Jesus that in the ancient world was considered so lowly and demeaning that even the lowest slaves in the household did not wish to do it, and yet Christ himself willfully performed the action: Feet washing. This action was synonymous with slavery and that is the point: Christ, the King of creature, became a slave for his creatures to cleanse them from sin and redeem them to himself. This is an incredible picture of Jesus practicing humility that we are commanded to follow.

    Sermon | Stop Grumbling in Your Tents (Number 21:4-9)

    Sermon | Beyond Wealthy - A Wealthy Mystery Revealed and Proclaimed (Ephesians 3:1-13)

    It is absolutely common to experience discouragement as a Christian, especially when we see fellow Christians suffer. In this portion of Ephesians the apostle Paul writes to the Christians in Ephesus telling them not to be discouraged that he is in prison but to be encouraged because God's will cannot be thwarted. Listen as Pastor Garth explains the reasons why we should not be discouraged as Christians even when our fellow Christians suffer.
