Sermons

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Extra Wicked, Very Fat, and an Oxgoad” from Judges 3:7-31. Judges has some crazy stories, and this week is just the tip of the iceberg. Pray that God causes His Word to land on our hearts with the effect of increasing our love for Him.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Worshiping the Wrong God” from Judges 2:6-3:6. The downward spiral in Judges begins with a generation that "did not know the LORD or the work that he had done for Israel." What a sad reality when the next generation forgets God and turns to idolatry. Yet, as the story continues God shows His compassion and mercy even to those who turn their back on Him. He is the G...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Incomplete Obedience” from Judges 1:1-2:5. This message begins a new series in the book of Judges. It's a book that shows the downward spiral of God's people when they give themselves over to the world around them.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Joy of Being Forgiven” from Psalm 32. Our sin has a way of gnawing away at our soul. It pulls joyful vitality right out of us. In Psalm 32, God's Word shows us the path back to God by confessing our sin and enjoying His good forgiveness.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "God is My Refuge” from Psalm 31. When you are worn out by the attacks, but have no place to go, where do you turn? Psalm 31 recalls a personal time in David's life when he was facing the worst possible scenario and had no place to turn but to the Lord. This psalm is about God who proved Himself faithful to be a refuge. And, the good news is that He is a safe refuge...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Favor for a Lifetime” from Psalm 30. God has unique ways of sanctifying us for the specific sins that are deeply rooted in our hearts. One such sin is the arrogance of self-confidence. Psalm 30 takes us through the progression of God's kindness to remove those prideful patterns from our lives and set our eyes on what truly matters.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "God’s Power, My Peace” from Psalm 29. There's a restful peace for the soul when you take the time to consider that God's awesome power surrounds you. Psalm 29 provides a front row seat to this divine power. Pray for the services this weekend and for God to draw our attention up to Him.

Pastor Stephen brings the message, "Constantly Crying Out” from Psalm 28. As we return to the book of Psalms for the next few weeks, we'll be reminded that these passages are filled with emotion. Psalm 28 shows us what we can do with that emotion. Whether we're in a period of desperation, exasperation, celebration, or supplication, this psalm shows us the value of responding in all of those period...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Biblical Practices” from 1 Corinthians 16. You've seen how some people thrive in good practices and others dive in their bad practices. In our final study of 1 Corinthians, God's Word helps us see important Biblical practices for our own personal lives. Also, this Sunday we will recognize new deacons, our newest pastor, and observe the Lord's Supper.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Pressing On” from 1 Corinthians 15:50-58. Ever want to throw in the towel, especially the towel of the Christian life? In closing out 1 Corinthians 15, God's Word shows us that the resurrection of Jesus is more than enough motivation to keep going.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christian, You're Gonna Rise" from 1 Corinthians 15:35-49. Death is like a dark curtain that, unless Jesus comes back, we'll all eventually walk through. And, naturally we have questions about it. The good news is that on this side of death Christians are given wonderful promises...promises that are anchored to the power of God...promises that give hope. This Sunda...

Pastor Andy brings the message, "The Hopefulness of the Resurrection" from 1 Corinthians 15:20-34. Paul pivots to show the Corinthians the hopeful effects of the resurrection for their future and their present lives. Christ's resurrection has begun the inevitable march to the end, where God will reign unchallenged. But in the meantime, the bodily resurrection should cause us to live for God now.

Pastor Andy brings the message, "A Hopeless Christianity" from 1 Corinthians 15:12-19.  Have you ever contemplated what life after death will be like? Paul will lead the Corinthian church down the rabbit hole of alternate reality if there is no bodily resurrection of all those who are in Christ. It is a hopeless picture. This will set up Paul's hopeful discussion in verses 20-28, which we will loo...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Remembering the Gospel” from 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. The resurrection of Jesus is what makes or breaks everything for us.  This Sunday we begin 1 Corinthians 15 where God's Word begins unpacking so many wonderful Gospel themes.  If you have friends you're witnessing to, it would be a good week to invite them.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Building Up the Church" from 1 Corinthians 14:1-25. This Sunday, we arrive at one of the most debated chapters in all the Bible, 1 Corinthians 14. While the topics of prophecy and tongues are certainly up for debate, there is a foundational truth that every Christian needs to pursue: the building up of the church.  So, as we prepare to gather this Sunday, pray that...

Pastor Nate brings the message, “Protecting Unity with the Lord’s Supper” - Part 1, from 1 Corinthians 11:17-22.  We are returning back to chapter 11 for the next two weeks and studying the unity of the local church around the Lord's Table.  The problem was that the Corinthians were so wrongfully divided that their practice of the Lord's Supper was actually invalidated.  There are crucial lessons...

Pastor Stephen brings the message, "The Importance of Love" from 1 Corinthians 12:28-13:1-8a.  Scripture is filled with many beautiful passages that seem to be made for coffee mugs and decorative posters, and 1 Corinthians 13 could certainly fit into that category. But within this wonderful passage about love is also a difficult call - to live a life that models that beauty consistently in the wor...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Belonging and Being the Body of Christ” from 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.  The human body is a work of Creative Genius.  Its connectivity and interdependence has the best doctors and researchers regularly amazed.  God has so designed the church to be a body in its own way with each person being interdependent with others to live the Christian life. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Spirit’s Unity in the Church’s Diversity” from 1 Corinthians 12:1-13.  In our Christian "circles" we tend to minimize the Spirit of God.  It might be that we've over-reacted to bad theology elsewhere, and are now missing the important role of the Spirit.  However, it's crucial for every Christian to see that only by the Spirit can we truly be saved and united i...

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Headship, Hair, and Cultural Expressions” from 1 Corinthians 11:2-26.  Based on this passage, should we hand out head-scarves at the door for all women?

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Good of Others, The Glory of God” from 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1.  How we view others might be the strongest indicator of how we view God.  As we conclude another section in 1 Corinthians, God's Word helps us see that a God-glorifying life follows the example of Jesus who poured out His life for the good of others.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Great Escape” from 1 Corinthians 10:11-14.  Last week we covered the big picture of chapter 10.  In this message, we come back to the center of the chapter and look more closely at the verses which speak to God's faithfulness in the midst of our temptation.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Run by Participating with Christ” from 1 Corinthians 10:1-22.  The Christian life is sometimes metaphorically described as a race.  And, one of the very important gifts that God provides us in the race is participation with Christ.  This message looks at how the Christian life is energized by fellowship with our Savior.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Raised with Christ” from Colossians 3:1-4. In this Easter message, Pastor Nate takes time to share the events of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus along with important implications for Christians. 

Pastor Andy brings the message, "Cross Walk" from Matthew 16:24-25.  Before we celebrate the Resurrection, we will walk the road to the cross with Jesus. As we consider Jesus' journey, we will be challenged to live our lives in a manner consistent with his life.
