From "In God We Trust" on our currency to the Declara...

Mary teaches us that the best place to be is always at Jesus' feet, w...

1. Sitting and Waiting 2. Asking for a Drink 3. Seeing a Change Today's sermon explored how Jesus intentionally planned a meeting with a broken, rejected woman whom society had cast aside.

1. When Life Is Hard 2. Prepare to Be Used 3. Be Ready to Move Today's sermon explored how the ancient struggles Joel faced with locust plagues mirror our modern battles with worldly distractions, personal sin, and spiritual warfare.

1. Change My Speech 2. Change My Wisdom 3.

1. The Believer's Delight 2. The Believer's Steps 3. The Believer's Heart Today's sermon explored the tension we all feel when we see the wicked prosper while we strive to live righteously.

1. Pointing at Others 2. Looking Within 3. Looking Ahead Today's sermon explored how America has largely become "the Grinch who stole Christmas" by reducing this sacred season to mere "happy holidays" or retail opportunities. While many struggle during this time—due to division, loss, broken relationships, or loneliness—the root cause of their emptiness is often the absence of Christ Himself. Thro...

1. His Rebellion 2. His Affliction 3. His Mission Today's sermon explored the life of Jonah and the consequences of running from God's calling. Through Jonah's journey—from his rebellion and flight to Tarshish, through his affliction in the belly of the fish, to his eventual mission in Nineveh—we saw how sin always costs us more than we want to pay and takes us farther than we want to go. Yet we a...

1. Crying for Mercy 2. Thanking the Lord 3. Jesus Wondered Today's sermon explored the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17:11-19, where Jesus healed all ten men, but only one—a Samaritan—returned to give thanks.
