Because of Jesus we can have hope and peace as citizens in God's Kingdom.

The Believer is secure in Christ, with the purpose of displaying God’s grace and kindness, and fulfilling God’s planned good works.

Every believer has more resources available than we realize, and a Leader with more authority than we can imagine!

Even the most faithful believer in Christ needs reassurance. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians strongly reaffirms our identity and purpose in Christ.

In answer to the question, “How can Christians understand and respond to other religions?” we’ll see what the Bible has to say about the distinct claims of the gospel message.

There is a way the Lord wants us to respond to life circumstances, especially hard ones. His will is that we allow our responses to be overtaken by rejoicing, prayer, and thanksgiving.

Brian responds to the question: "What does the Bible have to say about handling conflict and dealing with anger?"

Getting started on this "by request" sermon series, we take on the questions of what baptism and church membership mean and why they matter.

We extend unlimited forgiveness toward others because it is the reflection of a right relationship with our Heavenly Father.

We can never get too much of God's free gifts of grace and mercy.

The Bible teaches that each life is sacred and in God’s hand. God is a life-giver. This message is timely in light of California's SB 128 "End of Life" Bill.

Pentecost, which is the Jewish holiday of Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks, teaches us about our Christian journey: where God has brought us, where we are right now, and our future hope in Christ.

We have reasons for Christian hope because of Christ Jesus.

The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom - freedom to know God and witness to Jesus our salvation.

The heroes of Hebrews 11 are noted for their faith, not just their deeds. ‎Faith starts with belief, is evidenced in action, and results in reward.

We grow and the church will grow as we make the sacrifice to love one another, an act made possible as we receive God's great love into our lives.

Can we really trust God to provide everything, even the most basic of needs?

Only the person who has received God's ‎mercy can show God’s mercy, and mercy is an essential quality of the Christian life.

Tthe call to follow Christ will challenge our comforts, commitments and community.

The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, and the account of children brought to Jesus demonstrate for us how to receive God's grace: humbly, personally and in faith.

Jesus' resurrection proves Jesus can be trusted to keep his promises of peace and salvation.

Our view of Jesus affects all of our life and belief: he is the Cornerstone, our foundation.

In the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man, Jesus gives us a sobering picture of life and death. How can we prepare for what is to come?

In one of Jesus' more controversial parables, we are challenged to manage what God has given us in order to invest in people for eternal purposes.

Jesus prayed in a way that made his disciples want to pray too. Can we pray that way?
