Perfect Love

Pursuing Intimacy with Christ through the Song of Solomon We all want to be known and loved. Though we can experience deep relationships with others, there will always be a hole in our hearts for the perfect love of Christ. But, what does that really mean? How do we pursue intimacy with an invisible God? What if we do not feel worthy of His love? How can we respond when troubles kidnap our security in Christ? In six powerful sessions,…

GOD is for …

Many in our culture, who might even believe that there is a God, think that he is distant, uncaring, a cosmic killjoy or just waiting for them to mess up so he can punish them. Starting Sunday, September 10th, we’ll devote 6 weeks in a sermon series that just touches the truth of all the things that God is for. Come and learn the truth about God and how he feels about you, your life and those around you. This would…

Who Are You, REALLY?

How would you answer the question – Who Are You, REALLY? Some of us would immediately think of their occupation, what they do for a living. Some would think of their family position, father, mother, husband, wife. Some would find their answer in their ethnicity, nationality or family of origin. Some would find their identity in what they’ve done, their accomplishments or their failures. And then some would focus on their skills or talents. While all of these certainly contribute…

It’s a Resurrection Story

Hope is a powerful thing but it is in short supply these days. But can you imagine the hopeless that the disciples felt when Jesus was crucified and all their hopes for the future died with him? What they didn’t know was that on the morning of the third day Jesus would break the shackles of death when he rose from the grave. The resurrection of Jesus was the greatest demonstration of the power of God in all of history and is…

I AM – The Unveiling of God

The Apostle John in his gospel shared the most intimate account of Jesus and it his account that will be the backdrop for our sermon series entitled, “I AM – The Unveiling of God.” John indeed paints for us a beautiful picture of Jesus – His words, His actions, His motives and His character but it is not John’s understanding or belief that we are going to focus on. Instead, we’re going to journey through the Gospel of John to discover…

The Hope of Easter

Hope is a powerful thing but it is in short supply these days. We hope for many things but we all know that hopes aren’t always realized. There is, however, another type of hope. A hope that is secure and never disappoints. That hope is the Hope of Easter. We invite you to experience the good news of God’s love, the assurance of a new start and the promise of eternal life as we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior this Easter.…

What we believe changes the way we perceive the world around us What we believe impacts the way we think What we believe influences the choices we make What we believe is revealed in the way we act and live What we believe guides our relationships What we believe is the basis for our self image and value What we believe shapes…

Christmas Eve – The Light of Christmas

The Christmas season is a beautiful time of year full of family, fun, food and gifts. But it can also be a season of stress, loneliness, fear and pain. And that was exactly the world God sent his Son into as a baby born in a stable on that first Christmas night. When we look at the Christmas story, we see that the people God invited to the manger were all different, but they were all broken and in need of a Savior—just like we…

Not A Fan

Not A Fan starting Wednesday, 9/23, 6:30 pm We all have junctures in life where an interest becomes a career, a hobby turns into a business, a recreational sport turns into a profession or a romantic relationship becomes a marriage. In those moments there are life altering decisions that are made. Questions that must be answered like: Is this a hobby or a business? Is this just interesting or a real passion? Is this just for fun or for something more? Am…

Game of Thrones – sermon series

We are very excited about our final summer sermon series, Game of Thrones. In this series we’ll look at the kings of Israel. It starts and ends with a theocracy but what’s in the middle is filled with the schemes, battles and indulgences of men. Some were worshipers of God others where not. Some were wise and just, many where self satisfying and corrupt. Some waged war and others built great edifices. All were powerful but only one was the…

Is He Like Joe?

The fear of failure keeps us from trying to succeed. The fear of losing keeps us from trying to win. The fear of what everyone else will think keeps us from stepping out boldly. The fear of ridicule keeps us from declaring our faith in Jesus Christ. Most of all, fear stifles hope. – Hope from My Heart by Rich Devos Joe was an alcoholic whose life was miraculously changed by Christ in an inner city mission. Prior to his…
