    The Power of Kindness

    Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. In a world full of tension and conflict, is there really anything we can do to make things better? Creating change within one strained relationship is hard enough—much less the whole world! As it turns out, God has given us an invaluable tool that can transform the way we deal with one another: kindness.  In a culture that often tends toward indifference or exploiting weaknesses, kindness stands out as a radical act of strength. Biblical kindness isn’t about being a doormat or seeking praise; it’s about reflecting God’s goodness by meeting the needs of others, even when it costs us. In this sermon, we explore what this Fruit of the Spirit truly means and how we can choose to show kindness, starting today.

    Worth the Wait

    Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Our culture celebrates efficiency. We prioritize getting from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible, and we are good at it! But what if closing the gap between problem and solution isn’t always the goal? Some things—like heartache, grief, and struggle— cannot be rushed. Though we crave instant relief, Scripture tells us what we truly need: patience. Of all the commands in the Bible, which is the hardest for you? To rejoice? To forgive? To serve? For many of us, patience might top the list! Why is it so difficult to wait? And where is patience when we need it most? In this sermon, we explore what James 5 has to say about this Fruit of the Spirit, and what it looks like to practice patience in difficult circumstances and in our relationships with God and others.

    The Fork in the Road

    Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. The average adult makes about 35,000 decisions per day, large and small. That’s an unbelievable number! Every day, we find ourselves at forks in the road and have to choose which path to proceed down. Many are referring to this election and the outcomes afterward as a big fork in the road for our country, but how can we let our faith shape our perspective? As Jesus followers, what do we do in the days and weeks afterward? What do we put our hope in during times of uncertainty? We believe that God brings goodness out of uncertain, difficult, and troubling moments, and in this sermon, we explore what we can do to faithfully follow His lead and put our trust in Him.

    When It’s Hard NOT to Be Mean

    Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Do you ever have to deal with mean people? Of course you do, and it's really hard! As people of faith, how are we supposed to respond to the mean people we encounter? Do we return mean with mean? After all, "getting even" sounds really nice. And surely we shouldn't just tolerate meanness. That doesn't seem helpful at all either. So what do we do?   In 1 Samuel 25, David finds himself in this exact situation, and he is tempted to get even until a wise woman intervenes to advocate for peace. This week, we'll look at David’s story and gain perspective about making peace with the difficult people in our lives.

    Making Peace With Your Past

    Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. We all have regrets about things we've done, decisions we've made, or people we've hurt. Sometimes by accident. Sometimes with intention. The impact of yesterday's choices often leads to a heart full of pain and chaos today. What do you do when the past just won't stay away from the present? What do you do when you believe you’re forgiven by God and others, but you still can’t forgive yourself? Scripture tells us that God’s mercies for us are new every morning, but we have to decide whether we are ready to receive them.Am I going to live bound by the regrets of my past or freed by the grace and peace of Jesus Christ to embrace the possibilities of a different, brighter future? In this sermon, we'll continue looking at the Fruit of the Holy Spirit called peace and what Jesus says about making peace with our past.

    Beyond Our Understanding

    Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. “I'd give anything for a moment of peace!” How many of us have said that? We just want a little peace from the stress, from the chaos, from the pressure, from the kids, from work. We all get to that place where even the strongest among us want a break. We turn to things we can do, take, drink, use, etc. to help us cope with our problems, but the peace we seek is elusive, always just beyond our grasp. Jesus says it doesn’t have to be this way because his peace is always available. In this sermon, we consider all the wrong places we go looking for peace, and we dive into what it looks like to seek peace in the only place we will ever truly find it: God Himself.
