God calls Gideon, "O mighty man of valor" and raises him up to deliver Israel from the oppression of the Midianites. God promises Gideon His provision, power, and presence. Throughout the story of Gideon, we are reminded of how even in our small and weak faith, God is faithful to keep His promises. Who God IS and who we ARE does not depend on how we feel, but on the finished work of Jesus. Praise...

God invites His people to be on mission with Him. When we are obedient to His call we get a front row seat to experience His glorious might, His supernatural work and His magnificent victories. God delights in using His children not only to further His mission, but to grow their faith. What does it look like to trust and follow God by faith? Denying self and laying down our own agendas to particip...

FAMILY SERVICE SUNDAY: The first three chapters in the Book of Judges tell us the story of how the Israelites were stuck in a cycle of self-reliance where they wanted to be rescued from their circumstances more than from their own sinful hearts. This week, we are invited to identify where we have a tendency to do the same thing and learn how our inside-out struggles require a Savior that can actua...

Each judge we encounter in Chapter 3 of the Book of Judges, Othniel, Ehud & Shamgar are here in God's Word to point us to Jesus. Othniel’s clean-cut, flawless-ness is intended to be a pre-shadow of the only truly flawless One. Ehud’s “left-handed-ness” made him an unlikely savior, but nobody was a more unlikely Savior as Jesus. And nobody was more of an obscure outsider than Jesus, not even the ju...

God’s people are commanded by God to intentionally remember all the works of God together, from the time they rise to the time they lie down. This is so we can learn and grow in our personal trusting and following of God in our lives as we help others do the same. When we neglect to do this, and succumb to "common sense" or half-hearted discipleship by placing other things as more important than G...

Just like in the Israelites' day, when common sense (“subjective rightness") is your guide, the door to compromise swings wide open and through that door is moral deterioration that will lead you down the path of unfaithfulness and disobedience to God. But God is faithful to keep His promises even when we are not.

PART 9 - THE PARABLE OF THE WEEDS Christians aren’t called to separate themselves from the world or cast judgment on the world. Instead, Christ calls Christians to grow up in the world and bring the gospel to the world!

PART 8 - THE PARABLE OF THE TWO SONS On the surface, consistent and daily repentance looks and feels bleak or like you’re taking a step back in your Christian journey. But repentance is the way we make progress in the Christian life. In other words, pervasive, all-of- life (consistent and daily) repentance is the best sign that a person is growing deeply and rapidly into the character of Jesus.

PART 7 - THE PARABLE OF THE PERSISTENT WIDOW Jesus tells us that we NEED to pray and to NEVER give up praying continually & constantly. We all must, and are given permission to come humbly and vulnerably to God for help.

PART 6 - THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS Jesus is showing us that we get to participate in the building of the Kingdom of God. That God has invested his work into us.

PART 5 - THE PARABLE OF THE HIDDEN TREASURE Listen to Pastor Rob's interview with Pastor Noah as they share some exciting news about church planting on the South Hill! Keep listening for Part 5 of our Parables of Jesus Series: Surrendering to Jesus is the most natural, no-brainer act you will ever do – like both individuals in these parables – but will only be something you do if you’re convinced...

PART 4 - THE PARABLE OF THE NARROW DOOR Is Christianity inclusive or exclusive? Acts29 Pastor Mark Smith from City Church Dublin describes how Christianity is the most inclusive exclusive world religion according to Jesus' words and the truth of the gospel in Luke 13:22-30.

PART 3 - THE PARABLE OF THE WEDDING FEAST Jesus is rebuking the leaders of Israel for their refusal to respond and repent. He tells them the Kingdom of Heaven will be for those who respond to the King’s invitation and come on the Kings terms. The way to enter into the kingdom is by repentance and faith in Jesus for forgiveness and salvation.

PART 2 - THE PHARISEE AND THE TAX COLLECTOR The greatest evidence of salvation are eyes that see personal sin, a heart that confesses that sin and an excitement for and continual embrace of the grace of God!

SERMON SERIES SUMMARY: Some sections of the Bible give us grand theology. Some move us to grateful response to God. The parables of Jesus ask us if there has been any real difference in our lives. Join us this summer as we look into the parables of Jesus and discover the good news throughout several New Testament accounts that will impact and transform our daily life. PART 1 - THE OWNER OF THE VIN...

GLORIOUS TRUTH #8: I AM PERFECT, BUT NOT YET There is a tension in the Christian life between who we are in Christ and what we struggle with every day as believers in Christ.

The doctrine of progressive sanctificat...

GLORIOUS TRUTH #2: I AM IN CHRIST To be “In Christ” means that we can now find our identity in someone other than ourselves. If we’re left to ourselves, our identity is defined by sin. It’s who we are. However, “In Christ”, Jesus becomes our representative, we’re invited into a relationship with Him, and we can look forward to an eternity where we get to enjoy Him forever! All of this comes to us...
