“Church Leadership & Qualities – Not Just a Sermon for the Church Board” (Part 2)
Now that we have the qualities of elders outlined, what is the elder to do and how is the church to respond in a godly manner to leadership. We’ll explore those two aspects this week and discuss deacons on November 19th.
“Surrender – Submission, Humility, Sacrifice”
This is the conclusion of a short series on the subject of surrender. It draws our three aspects that are key components of surrender and issues that we need to take seriously in each of our lives. Each area demands personal reflection and asking God where we might do better or how might we live these things out better in our lives. We know you will be encouraged by the truth of God’s Word and challenged from it to take…
“Surrender: God Has Something Better for You”
This is the start of our new summer series on SURRENDER. Throughout we will keep coming back to the key question – “Would I give this up because God has something better for me?”. That is a tough question that we need to be honest in answering. Our prayer is that as we go through this that God would open our hearts and minds and reveal to us the things in our lives that really we need to surrender to Him.…
“The World Changed But God Didn’t”
Today we remembered the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. We remembered those that lost their lives on that horrific day. We also recognized and thanked our local emergency service personnel for their service to us. As we remembered that day, we reflected on what has and what hasn’t changed in 15 years. We pray that you’ll be comforted and encouraged by the truth of God’s Word and His unchanging nature.
“Tolerance – Understanding It Biblically” – Part 2
This nation has been preaching tolerance a lot recently with the issues of gender and marriage taking up much of the headlines. The tolerance that the nation is preaching has been redefined to fit a movement rather than following how Scripture and even the dictionary itself defines it. In this two part series, we will be looking at the true definition of tolerance as well as how we are to show tolerance biblically toward the world around us. How does…
“Tolerance – Understanding It Biblically” – Part 1
This nation has been preaching tolerance a lot recently with the issues of gender and marriage taking up much of the headlines. The tolerance that the nation is preaching has been redefined to fit a movement rather than following how Scripture and even the dictionary itself defines it.

“Biblical Service – Serving Others & Not Self”
There has been a statistic for years that has floated around pastoral circles. The stat says that 20% of the church body is doing 80% of the ministry of the church. I don’t know the legitimacy of that statement, but we do see a trend in churches (even more so today) to serve self over others. And if we are serving self, we are most likely not involved in the ministry of the church or in serving others outside of…
“God’s Story Becomes Your Story” – B.L.E.S.S. Someone Part #2
We continue to expound on the concept of “B.L.E.S.S.”ing someone each day. Take some time to listen and continue to learn about how we can serve not only one another but the world around us each day. As you listen, be thinking of individuals in your life on whom you can implement this concept. Be the mouth and feet of Jesus to another.
“B.L.E.S.S. Someone Today”
Ever used the phrase “God bless you”? Often it is used as a salutation without much though. It has become “goodbye” is some sense as you close a letter end a phone call. This sermon challenges that though a bit and beckons you to think about how you can bless someone whether that be a neighbor or family or friend or community member. And not just bless someone but “B.L.E.S.S.” someone. Listen to find out what it means and what you can be…
“Tracing the Roots of Service”
Growing up in a small farming community, it was commonplace to go and help out a neighbor in need not matter what it was or whether or not you were busy with other things. It is what we call serving others–something that Jesus called us to do. By and by though, through the years, service has become an antiquated idea and has lost its place in much of a society that is only concerned about number one (me, myself, and…
“Invitations to the Weary, the Curious, & the Thirsty”
This sermon is part two of a short serious started last week focusing on Advent and its definition. Journey with us as we continue to explore the invitations within the gospels that Jesus extends to those around him. You will be encouraged by the Word of God.
“Invitations – Will You Come?”
Ever considered what the word ADVENT actually means? I think so many people see it simply as a time or celebration or tradition around Christmas time. Perhaps you think of the candles at the front on a Sunday morning. Let’s look at the word itself though. Take some time and learn what the word means and what applications and challenges we can find from Scripture as we look at its definition.
