Church of the Island

"This week, we’re continuing our  Old School  series with the story of  Daniel and the Lion’s Den.  Daniel’s story isn’t just about survival—it’s a powerful reminder of what it means to stay faithful to God even when it’s costly. Join us as we revisit this timeless account and celebrate how Christians today are both empowered and called to remain faithful to Him, for His glory."

“In the same way the weather is an indicator of the changing seasons, there are times our world can feel a bit different. Many today are hurting, scared, or overwhelmed—more-so than usual. In a familiar text, we find the solid footing our souls are truly longing for. Join us as we learn of the message of hope we have in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”

“Commitment may be a word our culture often avoids, but for the Christian it is exactly what we are called to. Join us as we explore some tangible ways that followers of Jesus can express their commitment to Christ and to His church.”

“As we read the Old Testament we catch glimpses of stories that sound eerily similar to things we find ourselves going through. The book of Exodus contains one of those stories. Join us as we learn what we can do when we encounter our own “Red Sea Situations”. As those who have faith in Jesus, we can have great hope as we face trials of various kinds. Let’s move Forward in Faith!”

“Many Christians approach church with a consumer mindset—asking, ‘What’s in it for me?’ But Jesus calls us to something greater. As we move  FORWARD together as a church family, we’ll hear His words reminding us of the joy and blessing found in serving one another. Join us this week as we consider how God’s favor is poured out when His people embrace this call to serve.”

“The idea of a Christian that’s not connected to a local church body with other Christians is a foreign concept in the New Testament. In light of that, we dive in to this important topic of church membership, and we also consider the role that God would have each of us play in the context of our church body. Join us as we move “FORWARD” together!”

"God’s people are never called to stand still—we’re called to move Forward. In this new series, we’ll learn some intentional steps we can take together as a church family. This week, Paul’s words will challenge us to move Forward on Mission together. We hope you’ll join us!"

As we conclude our "Life of David" series, we’ll reflect on the lasting legacy David left behind—a legacy made possible only through the power of God at work in his life. Join us as we’re challenged to consider: What kind of legacy might God desire to leave through us?"

“Sometimes the greatest gift God can give His children is a moment of correction. That’s what we see play out in David’s life as God sends the prophet Nathan to confront David in his sin. Join us as we learn how to offer correction with grace and to receive it with humility.”

"God not only knows everything we do wrong, but He doesn't forget it until we make it right."

"Spiritual shortcuts have serious consequences."

"Spiritual maturity is marked by a continual dependence on God's direction."

"The cave isn’t where God leaves you.  It’s where He meets you."

"How do we respond when a situation is not going as we expected it would and as we think it should?"

“Life is filled with both highs and lows, gains and losses. This played out in David’s life as well. In this week’s message, we explore how God uses both the gains as well as the losses in our lives for His glory. May we be encouraged to know that God is at work, even as we experience ‘loss’ in this life.”

“In the story of David and Goliath, we see an incredible victory. For the follower of Jesus, we have the opportunity to view this story through the lens of what Christ has done for us. Join us as we consider both how we can face difficult trials as well as how we can rest in the victory of what Christ has accomplished on our behalf.”

“We often feel like we don’t measure up, or that we’re not ‘good enough’ to be used by God. Our first installment of our new series, “The Life of David”, speaks to this practical matter of life. Join us as we dive into God’s Word together and give Him praise for His working in our lives.”

“In the midst of a broken world, it’s good to encourage our souls with comforting truths. A comforting truth for Christians is we have a future resurrection hope through Christ our Lord. Join us as we learn about the eventual glorification of our physical bodies.”

“We all have questions about important topics such as the resurrection of Jesus, and the early church was no exception. Join us as we tackle some questions the church had about baptism and whether or not a life devoted to Christ is truly “worth it”.”

"Adam produces a harvest of death, but Jesus produces a harvest of life."

"...if you deny "a" resurrection you have to deny "the" resurrection."

"A lot of people think the resurrection of Jesus is only important for the sake of having eternal life. Join us as we relish in the fact that Christ’s resurrection has great power for Christians today! In light of our risen Savior, we can have ‘assurance’ in His working."

"The Garden of Gethsemane was necessary because of what happened in the Garden of Eden."

"We learn from him what happens we we COMPROMISE our convictions, our belief."

“In the final hours leading up to the crucifixion of Christ, Jesus endured much. In this week’s message, we look at two familiar stories—one of betrayal, the other of denial. Regardless of how bad we mess up, there is opportunity for God’s grace and forgiveness through the gospel of Jesus.”
