One of the great things about following Christ is that we are to be future-oriented. We cannot change the past. Christ cleanses us from our past, then He calls us to move forward with Him. This is part of the reason why we are to live as we were when we were called, especially in regard to whether we were single or married, or widowed. Furthermore, if we were married to an unbeliever at the time o...

Due to the cost of housing, more and more family members and friends are moving in together to share costs and have a sense of community post-COVID when we are all lonely. Multi-generational homes and joint-ownership is not a new concept. In fact, living by ourselves or with just our immediate family may be a more recent phenomenon that has been predominantly practiced in the West due to affluence...

Christ has risen! Those three words may be the most life-changing in history. As we celebrate Christ’s death, burial and resurrection, this weekend we are going to focus on how Christ deals with our past and Christ also gives us a future from 1 Corinthians 15. That future includes our own resurrection. We too will rise! As a picture of what Jesus did for us, is doing for us and will do for us, we...

Good Friday | March 29, 2024

One of the big differences I have noticed over the nearly three decades of ministry is that Christians are now more prone to sue one another. This should not be as we will discover from 1 Corinthians 5! Why not leave room for God’s justice? Why not leave room for God to work and change a person’s life? As we will discover, God can change the heart of the vilest offender of sin. Has He changed your...

I recall having a conversation with a person outside of the faith who wanted to encourage the church to be tolerant by quoting Jesus’ words, “Judge not, that you be not judged!” Of course, those words ripped from their context do not tell the whole story. What Jesus said in Matthew 7:1 is missing from what Jesus goes on to say in Matthew 7:2, “For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged...

Maybe not all of us don a robe and pick up a gavel, but we often play the role of judge. We judge people’s appearances, their actions, their attitudes, and their aptitudes. Why do we do that? Is it because God gave us human beings the responsibility to take dominion over the earth as Genesis 1:26-28 describes? Or is it because when we humans ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of go...

Are you building your life on what will last? There is going to come a Day when each person’s work will be shown for whether it has lasting value. That Day will be when we see Jesus. Are you building what will last? Is that building contributing to God’s construction project called the Church? This is what we learn about from 1 Corinthians 3:1:18 this Sunday. I leave you with an awesome promise by...

Where do you get wisdom? Want to know the secret to getting wisdom? Well, I’m not telling! Pastor Aaron will be this Sunday as he preaches from 1 Corinthians 2:6-16. See you Sunday!

Ever struggled with not being able to say the right thing or you feel you stumble over your words, especially when you are trying to tell others about Jesus? Join the club! Moses, Jeremiah and even the Apostle Paul struggled with not being able to speak God’s Word eloquently. I too feel this way when I am speaking and preaching. However, there is great encouragement because not only does God make...

Did you know that the Bible says it is okay to boast? I know most of the boasting that we encounter is an immediate turn off. The exception may be grandparents who get away with boasting about their grandkids as long as it is not overdone. However, there is one type of boasting that is good, godly, and permitted in Scripture - boasting in the Lord for what He has done for us through the gospel of...

Do you recall when you were old enough to be left alone at home not needing a babysitter? Your parents might go out to run an errand or go out on a long-awaited date without the extra cost of babysitting fees. What did your parents tell you before leaving you alone? Probably they gave a lot of instructions including phone numbers to call. I don’t remember all the instructions, but I recall my pare...

We tend to lack lots of things - friends, money, time, and affection - to name a few. However, do you realize that we as a church do lack any gift to do the assignments God has given us? Everything we need to complete the task before us, God has empowered us to do. This is what we will discover in 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 this Sunday. Now whether we use those gifts in another question altogether, but w...

Who owns the church? As much it may seem that we have ownership, the church belongs to her Husband who won her hand by shedding His own blood. The church belongs to Jesus Christ. This is what we will learn this Sunday as we begin a new series in 1 Corinthians entitled Holy Together in the Gospel. Our leadership team has had a desire to teach on 1 Corinthians and particularly spiritual gifts for ye...

How are you discipling your family? Don’t know how? This Sunday Pastor Kyle will help us learn how to live wisely by discipling our family.

We are called to be like Jesus! That is what Christian means “little Christs.” We become like Christ as we are united to Christ, but also by living like Christ. This Sunday Pastor Jason will unpack how to live like Christ through the spiritual disciplines.

Happy New Year! Let’s conclude this year by coming and telling some stories of how God worked in our lives this year. Come ready to tell your God story! We will conclude the service looking ahead to 2024 with our theme of living wisely.

Merry Christmas! We have two services this Sunday with different themes. The first theme will be serving the need of others in the morning service at 10:30 am. Jesus came to serve our ultimate need as we will learn from Luke 2:8-14. Then come back at night to our Christmas Eve service at 6 PM as we share the story of Jesus from Luke 2:15-20. It will be a great time with special music from our choi...

One of our strengths is that we like to eat. This is a great strength because people feel loved when you eat their food with them. As we continue our Advent theme of B.L.E.S.S. (Begin with prayer, Listen to the need, Eat with others, Serve the need, Share the story of Jesus), we will be focusing on eating with others. Now, eating with others has a broader context of hospitality. What does this hav...

Hearing aids are amazing inventions. They enable people to hear things that they wouldn’t otherwise. My son-in-law recently got hearing aids because he had experienced hearing loss from birth. At first, it was mind-blowing as he heard so many sounds. It took him a while to filter out some of those sounds. In fact, they only put his hearing aids at 80% capacity because it was too overwhelming. This...

As we begin the advent season, our aim is to B.L.E.S.S. (Begin with prayer, Listen for the need, Eat with one another, Serve the need and Share of the story of Jesus) others. We think B.L.E.S.S. fits perfectly with advent because advent has the idea of "the arrival of a notable person, thing or event.” The notable person was Jesus, the thing was the Kingdom of God and the event was Christ&#39...

What is in your hand? A ball? A tool? A pen? A phone? How are you using what God has given you? How are you loving God with your talents and abilities? God gives some of us more talents than others, but He gives each of us at least one talent as we will discover from Exodus 17. This Sunday I want you to bring that object to church if you can, as an act of surrender and dedication. Trust me, you wi...

God is going to give you 168 of these this week. What are “these”? Hours! You have 168 hours. How are you going to spend these 168 hours this week serving and loving God? When you go to work and provide for your family with integrity by not overworking or underworking - you love God! When you work hard on your school assignments - you love God! When there is a blessed interruption and you stop and...

Did you know that your mind and intellect is a gift from God? Some of you might be worried because like me, you feel like at times you are losing your mind and cannot keep track of everything. However, your minds are a gift from God and one of the main ways we can love God. We steward our minds for God as we study, thank and praise Him. When we use our minds in our lives to serve God and our famil...
