    Sermon 5-12-24 1 Timothy Pt 3

    Cultural change always begins with yourself….unless you or I change as Christians, we will never impact the cultural chaos.  Instead of adjusting the bible to our lives, we must adjust our lives to the bible.  When we do that, God works in and through us to impact our society.  Because when we live as God has called us to live, we stand out.  To deal with change in Ephesus, the Apostle Paul encourages Timothy to be very selective about the church leaders, to not just fill as position because its vacant, but to train and wait for the correct person.  Why?  Because the “right people” internally in the church will help self govern the fellowship of believers and keep false doctrines and unbiblical beliefs out.  We can learn much from Paul’s instruction in our own church or even our own family.

    Sermon 5-5-24 1 Timothy Pt 2

    The society that the young Pastor Timothy served in was insanely secular.  Therefore the Apostle Paul writes to him and urges him to live counter culture, to look and live different than those all around him.  Paul also encourages Timothy to teach the faithful how they should also live to glory God…..and that way of living is publicly, faithfully, in love, and with all humility.  Join us as we allow Paul’s letter to the young pastor impact our lives for the glory of God as well.

    Sermon 4-28-24 1 Timothy Pt1

    Timothy was a young and timid pastor with a ministry in a very secular metropolitan area.  The Apostle Pauls encourages him to stand firm in his faith and to confront sin……but to confront it in love…….not like others confront sin.  Paul encourages the young pastor to put himself in the lives of those that he is ministering to in order to understand them better, to be able to love them as Jesus loves them, and to share the gospel truth with them to change their lives.  We have so much to learn from this small letter

    Sermon 4-21-24 Resurrecting Hope Pt4

    Unity.  The bible talks about it all the time concerning God’s people.  So, what is the problem, why are we not unified as one single church under Jesus. Simple…..people.  People, even with good intentions and being very sincere…..still struggle with sin’s, opinions, and prejudice.  So we have the 1st church of this, the 2nd church of this, the real church of this, and so on because opinions happen and instead of unifying to glorify God, churches split.  Fortunately there is still hope in Jesus for us forgiven sinners.  We must not only have salvation, we must humble ourselves before God and put aside all those things that divide us.  In Jesus is resurrecting hope for true unity.

    4-14-24 Resurrecting Hope Pt3

    When it comes to suffering, God is not getting back at us…..rather, He’s getting us back to Him.  This morning, we look at Resurrection Hope in times of grief, times of loss.  Mary, Martha, and Lazarus give us a very clear picture of what grief and loss looks like.  Jesus, on the other hand, gives us a very clear picture on what God’s will and hope looks like.  Join us and be encouraged.

    4-7-24 Resurrecting Hope Pt2

    Disappointment is a terrible thing, especially when we are the one to cause disappointment. Today we look at a man who painfully disappointed Jesus in Jesus’ time of emotional need. He was in the worst and last days of His life and Peter betrays Jesus. Peter carries the emotional scar of his actions and goes back to his old ways of living….that is….until Jesus meets him where he is at and restores him. If you are in need of forgiveness from the painful scars of disappointment, join us today as we receive forgiveness and grace.

    3-31-24 Easter Resurrecting Hope Pt1

    The message of Resurrection Sunday/Easter is hope.  But as we read the story in the gospels, its amazing how easily hope can turn to despair…..even when the answer to everything is right in front of you.  We just don’t see the answer because we are looking down.  Today, we see how God meets us in our times of despair…..not just at Easter…..but all the time.  We are never alone, He is always with us, and Jesus brings us hope.

    Sermon 3-24-24 Palm Sunday The Way of the Cross

    The bible tells us that if we keep our lives only for us, and reject God, in the end, we will lose the very thing we tried to save.  In contrast, the bible also tells us that if we “lose ourselves in God”, in the end we are given the very life that we hoped for.  In this Palm Sunday message, we look at the cost of the cross.  Today we are not looking at the cost to Jesus, even though it was tremendous.  Today we are looking at the cost to us….as Christians….as disciples of Jesus.  The cost to us costs everything….but with that sacrifice of ourselves for Jesus….the end result is that we get it all back and more.  Don’t make the mistake of living only for yourself, invest yourself in Jesus and see how much you can gain.
