Today as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, we will look to the timelessly amazing paradox of the empty tomb. We know it’s glorious!!! We know it’s life-giving!!! But there’s more there we can say.
We are here to love God and our neighbors by making disciples for King Jesus who make disciples for King Jesus

Sermons on John
We begin the Hebrews Sermon Series this week and see how God our Creator, throughout history, has communicated to His creation. The writer of Hebrews makes it clear that he has done so faithfully, finally, and fully. Jesus is the last word! Listening to Jesus is not “like” but IS listening to God!
Today we look at three parables in Luke, the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin and the Prodigal Son and how Jesus is the friend of sinners, and while we were still sinners Christ died for us. In the mission field around the world or in our local community we set out to seek and save the lost.
In this 4th week of Advent we will be looking at the different aspects of peace that our King brings.
The 3rd week of this year’s Advent messages looks at the gift of Joy. It cannot be complete without pain, it will completely persevere and will be complete with prayer. (John 16:19-24)
The role of prayer plays a crucial part in the life and ministry of the Church. It is that vital connection and communion that we have with the triune God. Many times, we look at prayer from our side of the fence but today we will look at things from the other side of the fence, the modeling Christ did (His earthly heart for us) and continues to do for us (His heavenly heart for us).
In today’s passage, John the Baptist seems to be having some doubts about who Jesus is. At Jesus’ baptism, John seems pretty confident that Jesus was indeed the Christ, the Son of God. Now, John is in prison and Jesus doesn’t seem to be the Messiah He expected. Jesus, ever compassionate to the weak, speaks into John’s doubts with words of assurance. The questions for us: What causes doubts to rise in our minds about our Savior Jesus Christ? How should we combat those doubts?
Only One God is awesome. It is not insignificant that the sermon title has a little “g” god in it. The people of Israel had come to believe other gods were awesome, rather than the One true God. The truth is, though, people today (even church folk) have a tendency to love people or things more than God. This misplaced love is consistently referred to in scripture as idolatry. But these false gods fail. Only Jesus, the One true God, is worthy of our deepest devotion. In the message I will be unpacking the ways idolatry fails, but also reminding folks that forgiveness is still offered to idolators.
On this Easter Sunday we look at the 7 last words spoken during His last hours on the cross, specifically unpacking one little word “TETELESTAI” (Greek for It is Finished).
Today we look at the final days leading up to the crucifixion of Christ and some of the characters of the cross revolving around the last supper in 3 different sermon segments.
