Welcome to the 10th sermon in our series on the overall story of the Bible. (10 of 23)
The Bible is filled with a whole lot of characters and stories that ultimately tell one big story. We believe the Bible ultimately tells the story of God...and we’re all included! This grand story is the story we tell every week when we gather: God Created the world and it was good and we enjoyed perfect relationship with God. In Genesis 3, however, mankind Rebelled against God and from that, everything fell apart. God made a covenant, made many covenants that He, alone would be faithful to keep. And, through Jesus, He will Redeem His people! One day, God, through Christ, will Restore all things, he will make the world right again. God, one day, will make His glories known as far as the curse has reached. Starting this Sunday, we will look more in depth at this whole story.

Welcome to the 8th sermon in our sermon series about the parables of Jesus. (8 of 15)
Over the summer we are going to take a deep dive into the Parables of Jesus. Jesus’ parables, while they are certainly filled with moral guidance and helpful insight, they are also about some things that are quite a bit more than that. They will reveal a new authority, a new “sheriff in town,” so to speak. When we examine these short stories of Jesus in their context, we’ll start to see that they don’t just make everything easier to understand, they are actually telling the climax of the story. It’s the same story that Paul is proclaiming, and it’s the same story that upends all that we’ve known. We will hear whispered and then shouted... “The Kingdom is coming, and the King is here.” This changes everything!

Welcome to the 7th sermon in our series on the book of Galatians. (7 of 16)
Perhaps Paul’s earliest letter to a group of churches, Galatians both confronts and comforts those who have trusted Jesus. All at once, Paul forces us to look in the mirror at our self-promotion and self-protection; while also comforting us with the hope and reality that those who are in Christ are, in fact, sons and daughters of the most high God. Join us as we continue to build our identity in Christ for the sake of the world through Paul’s letter to the Galatians.

Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on the Lord's Prayer. (4 of 4)
In the Christian life, nothing is more important, and nothing more difficult to establish and maintain, than a meaningful prayer life. Although we find time to do just about everything else—good things, industrious things, ministry things—it often seems that when we get to the issue of prayer, everything works against us. In this series, we will examine the pattern for prayer provided by Jesus in Matthew 6, traditionally known as the Lord’s Prayer.

Welcome to the 3rd sermon in our series on the Psalms of Ascent (3 of 16).
“The essential thing ‘in heaven and earth’ is...that there should be long obedience in the same direction; there thereby results, and has always resulted in the long run, something which has made life worth living.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
We are going to spend this summer in the “Songs of Ascent” (Psalms 120-134). Through these songs, we are going to remember and walk along the Way that leads to salvation. We will remember, walk together, and sing of the greatness of our God. He will guide us; He will commune with us; He will refine us; He will call us to repentance and trust...and we will follow...the long path of obedience.
“Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way...”

Welcome to the 1st sermon in our series on the Trinity. (1 of 3)
What do you know about the Trinity? That God is one substance in three, distinct persons? Is it confusing? Does it seem like an academic afterthought that really has no bearing on your “real” spiritual life? Have you even thought much about it?
We’re going to spend 3 weeks looking at the Triune God of Scripture - God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit. It is critical to our understanding of God, our delight in God and our growth in faith and trust in God. It might be both, more confusing & mysterious AND more hopeful & joyful than you ever imagined!

Welcome to the 5th sermon in our series on God's love. (5 of 6)
Advent is part of the liturgical calendar that helps the church retell the story of the Bible each year. It remembers the Old Testament saints that walked only with the promises of God, promises that were fulfilled with the coming of Christ. Advent is for the hurting and the incomplete. It is for those who walk in darkness to remind us that our Hero is coming. In this series we are going to look at some of the lesser known pictures of the Old Testament where we see God’s love and promises revealed and the foreshadow of the One to come.

Welcome to the 9th sermon in our series on Proverbs. (9 of 18)
The book of Proverbs is a collection of sayings on living with wisdom. It is a guide to how we should do things, how the world works. These sermons are a series of ‘classes’ on how to apply Biblical wisdom to everyday areas of our lives. “Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice” (Proverbs 1:20). Come and hear what she has to say!

Welcome to the 9th sermon in our series on the attributes of God (9 of 10).
We are going to spend this summer beholding who our God is and what he is like, looking at the attributes of God through the lens of Exodus 33 & 34. When we refer to the attributes of God, we are not talking in a cold or rigid or philosophical way, dissecting God into little parts so that we can understand him. God is SO big, SO beyond us that he doesn’t fit into human categories. Instead, we will be admiring the attributes of God through the hunger that he has put in us to seek him out and to know him. As the Westminster Catechism states, “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever. Join us in exploring some aspects of God that make him more than worthy of all glory.
