“Trading Expectations”

November 18, 2018

“A Double Portion of God’s Peace”

October 29, 2018

Did you know an olive tree can live to be thousands of years old? Olive trees are a symbol of peace not only in the bible, but throughout all our world. When Noah released a dove from the arc to discover if the waters had receded…

“I Can Only Imagine”

“I Can Only Imagine”

September 24, 2018

Looking around our modern world, it’s hard to see any resemblance to the world of when the Bible was written. But if we look closely, there are many ways our worlds are the same. In the Bible you can find several stories of broken and hurt people

“Bigger than Big, Closer than Close”

“Bigger than Big, Closer than Close”

Have you sent a prayer to heaven, and silently wondered if God really hears you? Have you given your life to Christ only to slowly take pieces of it back because you fear he shouldn’t be bothered or because you can manage some parts without him?

“Contempt Kills”

“Contempt Kills”

Matthew 5:21 “You’ve heard it said, ‘you shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment.” You may have heard the saying…

“Personal Damage Control”

“Personal Damage Control”

A few potential titles for this weekend’s sermon could be: “Did I hear God Say, Oops?”, “Sex, Sex, and More Sex”, or maybe “Living Morally In an Immoral World”. Instead, we ended up with “Personal Damage Control”. In Matthew 5:27-30, Jesus teaches…

“Beauty from Brokenness”

“Beauty from Brokenness”

September 4, 2017

It may be hard to believe, but God makes beauty from brokenness. Knowing this, trusting this, believing this about God, is often the first step toward forgiveness. Is there anyone you need to forgive? Life is painful. Often a person is attached to…

“Family Reunion”

“Family Reunion”

August 27, 2017

Forgiveness is free but trust is earned. We can learn a lot about healthy forgiveness in the context of Henry Cloud’s “Boundaries”. He distinguishes forgiveness from reconciliation and from trust. Forgiveness deals with our past, reconciliation…

“God-Spotting”

“God-Spotting”

August 20, 2017

What if we could get better at God-spotting? They say hindsight is 20/20, but we need hindsight faith in foresight. Sometimes when we’re journeying through life, it’s too dark to see God working. But faith tells us to keep walking because God’s…

“Forgotten & Forsaken”

“Forgotten & Forsaken”

Do you ever face something in your life and wonder, where is God? Did He sleep in today? Has He nodded off? What if your faith doesn’t have to be shaken? What if you could find the faith to trust in the midst of suffering? What if God is closer…

“Life’s Not Fair”

“Life’s Not Fair”

As we dig into the story of Joseph, we learn how the truths of it can parallel our own lives. We are not promised that if we obey the commands and eat our veggies, we’ll live a long and happy life. But the arch of the Joseph story teaches us that…

“For God So Loved This World?!?”

“For God So Loved This World?!?”

This week’s passage in our study of the life of Joseph (Genesis 38:1-29) is full of bad news, sin, and selfishness. But good news is coming. Three key takeaways from our message this week: 1. Sin and selfishness will devour the most important…

“God is Up to Something”

“God is Up to Something”

This week, we began a new series studying the life of Joseph. Over the next several weeks we’ll ride with Joseph on a roller coaster of favor and rejection, honor and accusation, and through it all the narrator of Joseph’s story wants us to see…

“Love is Louder”

“Love is Louder”

October 4, 2015

Lord, our souls ache over the hatred in our world. And we know that yours does, too. We pray for the victims of racial prejudice in our country and around the world: May you bring comfort, hope, and healing to the impossible situations faced by so…

“Defined or Refined?”

“Defined or Refined?”

September 27, 2015

Forgiveness is God’s way of healing the wounds of your past. You forgive so you’re not defined by hurt, but so that you are refined by your circumstances. Forgiveness doesn’t excuse behavior or deny it happened, it becomes your path to freedom…
