Everyone loves a well seasoned entrée prepared by a professional trained in the culinary arts. This Sunday we’ll see how Jesus prepares his people to be salty. Christians impact our world in powerful ways.
Hard To Be Humble
The first must be last. That sounds fine on paper, but I work really hard. Why should I take a back seat to someone less deserving than me?! How can we balance out being confident in the gifts God has given us and still give God all the glory? It’s hard to be humble.
Low Point
How heavy is your cross? Jesus calls us to pick up our cross and follow him. We’ll look at the ministry of the Prophet Jeremiah. If being thrown into a pit sounds bad, there is even something worse.
All Things Well
Jesus has done all things well. He doesn’t make accommodations for our sin and guilt, he paid for them when he died on the cross.
Soldiers of the Cross
Did you know that you are in a life and death struggle? Every day the devil attacks your soul with one temptation after another. This Sunday we looked at how our God protects us from these attacks. Put on the full armor of God.
The Only Bread of Life
The Bread of Life discourse from John 6 doesn’t end well to our eyes for Jesus. Many walk away. Jesus is the only way to heaven. Join us this Sunday as we close out the series of Gospel readings with a message – Only Jesus is the Bread of Life.
Come to the Banquet
Come to the banquet and eat! Wisdom is holding a banquet and you’re invited. This Sunday we’ll dig into the book of Proverbs to see how these words from Solomon can change your life.
Fixing the Broken
Get along! The Apostle Paul continues with his letter to the church in Ephesus. He lists off the dos and don’ts that reflects the Christian life, but we truly sets the Christian apart is the ability to forgive, quickly, freely, completely.
Manna From Heaven
Manna from heaven everyday. If you grew up in the wilderness for the first forty years of your life, you wouldn’t know anything different. Many people have tried to imagine what manna could have been had God chosen to use natural means.
From Many One
God has made his Christian church one, but it sure doesn’t look that way! This Sunday we’ll see how God’s church is a powerful force for good in the world, but that isn’t the church’s main purpose. It is through the church that the world will meet Jesus.
Big Changes
There are some BIG changes coming up in our worship this Sunday. God will be doing the heavy lifting in the hearts of people everywhere who hear his word.
Two by Two
Two by two the disciples went out with message of salvation. They called people to repentance, to find forgiveness in Jesus. There were some very specific instructions to these first missionaries. This Sunday like the prophets of old, we looked at God’s plan for reaching out with his word.
Welcome Home
Welcome Home! Jesus is Offensive. That is such a liberating thought isn’t it? You don’t need to hold back your witness.
Master Physician
This Sunday we had a chance to meet Jairus. This Synagogue Ruler who lived in Jesus day would’ve done anything to find help for his dying daughter. All he needed was Jesus, the Master Physician.
Get In The Boat
The storm is raging all around and where is Jesus? Asleep!? How can he sleep at a time like this! The disciples were at their wits end. Do you ever wonder if Jesus waits for us to exhaust all other options until we have nowhere else to turn?
Unseen Assets
We walk by faith and not by sight. The world around us screams messages of temptation, hate, and despair. Our God whispers peace, love, and joy. We celebrated the vision of faith shared by two young members of our congregation on this Confirmation Sunday.
Good for the Soul
Is confession really good for the soul? You’ve probably heard that thought a few different times in your life. This Sunday we looked into the minds of the first two sinners and saw how gracious our God is – right from the start!
Shrimp for Dinner
Can we eat shrimp? What about lobster? There are many laws in the Old Testament that Christians don’t follow. Why is that? The most obvious one is the Sabbath Day. We’ll see that Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath.
Holy Holy Holy
Holy, Holy, Holy! One God – Three Persons. The truth of the Trinity has confounded reason and logic for millennia. It is for this reason the Christian Church has celebrated Trinity Sunday.
Harvest of Souls
The sound of a rushing wind got everyone’s attention. This was going to be a big day. With God doing the marketing for his New Testament Church there was sure to be a crowd! God’s Spirit was on full display.
