Sermon: Seems Like I Don't Fit In Rev. Russell Clark

The motto of our denomination is “no creed but Christ.” We are constantly evolving and learning how to be better disciples so we can’t be held to a certain creed or dogma.

Series: A New Disciples Movement Sermon: Disciples and Authority We believe that all authority is under Jesus Christ. We believe in a priesthood of all believers – where the pastor, ministry staff, elders, deacons, and members work together as ministers for one another. The representative responsibility of the pastor is circular in nature because the pastor is responsible for the people, but the p...

The Chalice & The Table Rev. Russell Clark

Series: Table-Flipping Leadership Sermon: "Sacred Anger" - Rev. Russell Clark Jesus told us not to be angry during the sermon on the mount (Matthew 5:21-22) so it is confusing to see Jesus express such anger when he was a man of peace. His anger is at the temple of worship being used for the wrong purpose. Would Jesus be upset with us today? Are there times we are justified to use our an...

Series: Table-Flipping Leadership Sermon: The Cursed Tree Jesus says to the disciples in John 15 that he is the vine and they are the branches who will bear fruit yet in Matthew 21 Jesus curses a tree for not bearing fruit. Is this out of character for Jesus? When is it appropriate for leaders – and for all of us disciples – to “curse trees” and “move mountains”? Find us on social media: Facebook...

Series: Growing Pains: Facing Flawed Faith Sermon: "Jacob" - Joey Garcia “God gave Jacob the new name Israel just like Jesus gave Simon and Saul new names. This is a theme not just with the biblical characters we read about but with us as well. God tends to take us and give us a new name, separating our old deceptive, sinful selves and make us new. This doesn’t mean we will be perfect an...

Series: Growing Pains: Facing Flawed Faith Sermon: "Job's Friends" Rev Russell Clark Job’s friends try to justify why Job is suffering, claiming they know what God is doing and Job is being punished for some wrong doing. But in the end, God says they have no right to claim to know what God is doing. He asks Job to pray for them, basically saying that Job has the power to be a better...

David is known for slaying Goliath, becoming king, and for his faith in Psalms. David was also an adulterer and a murderer. He was far from perfect. But God chose him to be on the throne and for his lineage to lead to Jesus, God’s son. He became a man of faith used by God despite his flaws.  Find us on social media: Facebook and Instagram .
