We often learn the most from our own mistakes and the mistakes of others. There’s nothing like a powerful negative example to cause us to say, “I don’t want to be like that!” So this week we begin a new sermon series called “The Baddest People in the Bible.” The cast of ghouls we study […]
Easter is not just about what happens to us when we die. It’s about how we live! This Sunday we’ll study John 20:19-25, which is one of the most overlooked, yet important resurrection stories in the Bible. Embedded within it is the secret for how to live with resurrection power. Join us for Easter, as […]
This Sunday, Palm Sunday, we will compare and contrast the different ways people responded when Jesus offered of himself as King on that fateful day when he rode into Jerusalem. In the process, we’ll hold a mirror up to ourselves and consider how we are responding to that same offer in our lives today. On […]
This week we conclude our sermon series about “New Life In Christ,” i.e., being born again. Our focus in this last installment will be on the afterlife and how being born again affects that. If you’ve ever wondered what will heaven really be like? Or, how could a loving God create a place like hell? […]
The New Testament says that when we are “born again” (i.e., spiritually awakened), we receive an amazing, incredible, miraculous gift called “the Holy Spirit.” What does that mean? And what new possibilities does that open up in my life? This will be the fourth of five installments in our sermon series on “New Life in […]
In our sermon series on “New Life in Christ,” we’ve talked about what Jesus meant when he said “you must be born again” and we’ve talked about the role that grace and faith play in that spiritual birthing process. Now this Sunday we’re ready to discuss what comes next. Once I’ve been spiritually reborn, what […]
This week we continue our Sermon series called “New Life in Christ.” Last week we began by exploring what it means to be “born again.” We saw that Jesus was talking about the necessity of a spiritual awakening within each of us. This week we’ll dig deeper by studying a key New Testament passage that […]
You’ve heard the phrase a million times. You’ve seen it on thousands of bumper stickers? But have you ever heard a really thoughtful discussion of what Jesus meant when he originally used that term. This Sunday Pastor Jeff will dig deep into the question: What does it really mean to be born again? This will be the […]
The Bible says that all who believe in Jesus have access the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. But how do we make that real in our lives? On Sunday, we launch a four-week sermon series called Living With Resurrection Power! Don’t miss any Sunday in April as we explore four resurrection principles that could […]
Some of us grew up in religious circles that were harsh and judgmental – good riddance. Having seen how ugly that is, we could easily go to the opposite extreme – anything goes. But that has its own problems. So how does a New Testament believer living in an age of grace find the right […]
Are people watching you? If so, what do they see? What does it really mean to “be a witness” in this world? How can we allow more of Jesus to shine through us? That’s what we’ll explore on Sunday, as we continue our study of the New Testament book of Second Corinthians.
If there’s only one sermon you ever hear, make sure it’s this one. Last Sunday we explored the first half of Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well in Samaria. We saw how Jesus shattered all kinds of social barriers to engage the Samaritan woman in the single longest dialogue anyone ever had with […]
