Refuge Church

Welcome to the 45th sermon in our series on the books of 1 & 2 Samuel. (45 of 45)

In the books of 1&2 Samuel, God grants his people a king, but it doesn’t go the way they think it will go. Power is something every person craves, but does it ever deliver what we hope it will deliver? In God’s story, power is a crucible that enables, lifts up, reveals and exposes. It is God’s to grant and ours to either steward or worship…one leads to life, the other to destruction.

Join us through the books of 1&2 Samuel as we look at the stories of prophets, kings and peasants being shaped and formed by God’s crucible of power.

Join us for this stand alone sermon discussing what we believe at Refuge.

Welcome to the 11th sermon in our series on what the Bible is all about. (11 of 15)

Do you really know what the Bible is about? When you understand the point an author is trying to make even the most complicated of books make much more sense. This summer we are going to “stand on the shoulders” of D. A. Carson and his book The God Who is There: Finding Your Place in God’s Story as we walk through the big story of Scripture to discuss what the Bible is truly about.

Welcome to the 2nd sermon in our series in which various speakers share their personal reasons for continuing to believe Christ (2 of 10).

It’s important for us as Christians to stop every so often and think: Why do we still think this stuff is true? Why do we still believe that the God of the Bible is God over all creation? Why do we still believe that Jesus is the Son of God?  Why to we still believe in His death and resurrection? Join us in this ‘series with a series’ as we hear from various people who really still believe this stuff is true as they explain why.

Welcome to the 3rd sermon in our series on the nature of the coming kingdom based on Colossians 1:13-23. (3 of 3)

We love to hear stories of good kings or rulers reigning with love and justice in their domains. The picture we get of king Jesus in Colossians is that of a loving ruler who, though king over all, has decided to lay down his life to redeem his kingdom from slavery to a domain of darkness. The loving and sacrificial character of king Jesus shows us what life in his kingdom should look like for those of us who follow him.
