Greenhouse Sermons

There's an overarching sense of anxiety in our culture today. Constant fear vies to override the truth of the scripture in many of our lives. Has God lost control? Unshakable! The pressure of the world reveals the allegiance of the heart. Pastor Matt Ulrich continues our series on The Book of Daniel. In chapters 2-4, Nebuchadnezzar has a dream that terrifies him. The kingdoms of man rise and f...

Unshakable! The pressure of the world reveals the allegiance of the heart. Pastor Tim Sikpi kicks off a new series on The Book of Daniel. The purposed heart stays faithful in the fire. We can land in bad situations because of decisions we have made. We're living in a Babylon society today. It lulls us to sleep so we no longer are aware of God's presence. We must remember we are not at home...

The book of Ecclesiastes sets you up for everlasting truths; it's all about the conclusion of the matter. It exposes all the false loves of Solomon. If everything under the sun is meaningless, where do you find meaning? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom! Pastor Mike Patz concludes our series, What's the Point, a look at meaning, purpose, and the point behind it all. Heed the...

Imagine you are in your nineties, and you are granted one hour to return to your younger self for a conversation. What would you tell you?  Pastor Mike Patz continues our series, What’s the Point, a look through Ecclesiastes, at meaning, purpose, and the point behind it all.  Meaningless, meaningless! Remember your Creator in the days of your youth. The book of Ecclesiastes is old Solomon speaking...

What do you do when hard times come? Where do you turn when the bottom drops out of your life? A lot less is certain in life than we want to believe is. Pastor Malik Murray continues our series, What's the Point, a look through Ecclesiastes, at meaning, purpose, and the point behind it all. The Book of Ecclesiastes can be difficult. It contains lists of bad situations and meaningless things. W...

This Sunday, Pastor Mike continues our journey through Ecclesiastes by exposing the lies money tells us. Money promises satisfaction, comfort, and security—but does it actually deliver? In Ecclesiastes 5:10–6:12, Solomon reveals how wealth can quietly move from our wallets to our hearts, becoming an idol that promises what only God can provide. Whether you're chasing "just a little more,&...

When things get difficult, we find out if what God promised us in the Holy Spirit is real, a true experience. Pastor Mike Patz opens the Book of Acts on Pentecost Sunday. There is an encounter of the Spirit- subsequent to salvation- that is available to everyone willing to seek! Have you encountered God through the gift of the Holy Spirit? One of the great blunders of the Western world is to belie...

Do you recall the recent phenomena online that was the Blaspheme Challenge, with those publicly making declarations against God? We live in a culture that has lost their reverence. Pastor Mike Patz continues the series, What's the Point, a look through Ecclesiastes, at meaning, purpose, and the point behind it all. He opens up chapter 5, "Let your words be few... Many words mark the speec...

What was it like to be the woman who became pregnant with God's Son? For thirty years she has kept the secret.  Imagine that you're Mary- you remember the angels, the prophecies, the shepherds, the magi. Pastor Mike Patz brings a timely word, Loose Your Grip, from John chapter 2. Jesus has now begun to bring His teachings, and here is the first miracle, at the wedding of Cana. A wedding wa...

Isolation, loneliness, and struggle are times that can feel meaningless. Life's hardest moments are usually quiet times, when we are alone. We are heavy, and when we break because we are without a comforter. Pastor Oscar Roche continues the series, What's the Point, a look through Ecclesiastes, at meaning, purpose, and the point behind it all. Pain can either draw us toward, or push us awa...

There is salvation in no other name than Jesus! So when people get around us, do they recognize that we have been with Jesus? Pastor Mike Patz continues our Reorient series, saying, "All that Jesus began to do, we continue..." We are looking for Book of Acts happenings to abound in us today. The Lord added to their number, day by day, those who were being saved. Let us be faithful to spe...

We are a culture who hates to wait! Addicted to the dopamine hit of the immediate, the temptation is to get lost in scrolling. Pastor Mike Patz continues our Reorient series saying, "All that Jesus began to do, we continue..." We are looking for the Book of Acts to be happening in us today. The key is the promise Jesus made, "You will be baptized in the Holy Spirit." If you wan...

Pastor Mike Patz continues our look at the gaps between the early church and the modern church in the Reorient series. All that Jesus started we continue... we are looking for the Book of Acts to be happening in us today. The devotions of the disciples included "the breaking of bread", which we now know as the Lord's Supper, or communion. The Book of Acts church was regularly remembe...

In this message of our Reorient series, Pastor Mike Patz takes a look at the Book of Acts chapter 2, focusing on the Apostles Doctrine and Fellowship. Luke wrote the Book of Acts three decades after the time of Jesus. How did the disciples turn the world upside down in that short period of time? The early church was devoted to the temple, the table, and the word of God. It is not enough to go to c...

Do you have a clear vision for your life? What do you burn for in your heart? When you get a vision, you can see farther than you could before. You're seeing with your heart, and you'll start to live by faith, and not by sight. Pastor Mike Patz open the Book of Acts chapter 1, as he begins a new series, Reorient. Greenhouse is a movement of disciples who reorient their lives around Jesus&#...

These days, social media is used to mask the truth of our lives. It's like the fig leaves in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3. In the series, Love Lies and Redemption, Pastor Mike Patz looks at the lie that comes when shame is allowed to control our lives. Our shame is literally killing us. We've been covering ourselves since the fall in the garden. Shame is the name of the game. Shame says...

These days, we don't exactly have great examples when it comes to relationships. In the series, Love Lies and Redemption, Pastor Mike Patz looks at the lie that we need that perfect someone to complete us. Jesus always took things back to the creation, because before the fall we have a picture of what God intended for us. In Genesis 2, we see Adam in the garden. He did not tell God he was lone...

In Genesis 1, God had created everything so good. But in verse 26, God said, "It is not good for man to be alone!" No bueno! Adam is in a perfect relationship with God, and it still isn't good. Pastor Mike Patz begins a three-part series, Love Lies and Redemption, the lies that we believe about relationships, and the truth that sets us free. Today we are tackling the lie that I'm...

Do you know anyone who will ask for forgiveness before they even do anything wrong? Pastor Mike Patz has been teaching word by word from the Sermon on the Mount. He concludes the series, warning us with these words of Jesus in the Lord's Prayer, "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Know this, you're going into battle. This is why Jesus gave you the exact praye...

In America, we are a nation of debtors. In the ancient world, debt was a matter of life and death. Prisons were places where debtors would be sent. Foolish people would go into increasing amounts of debt, bringing along their spouse and children. In light of this, debt brings to mind anxiety. God's answer to that was redemption. Someone would agree to come alongside you to forgive the debts. &...

In the greatest sermon ever preached, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is the teacher. If you will learn from Jesus, and do your homework, your life will be changed! And if you'll open your eyes and your heart, the Lord's Prayer will teach you! Pastor Mike Patz continues this segment on the Lord's Prayer in the School of Jesus series highlighting, "Give us this day our daily bread.&...

The disciples asked Jesus, "Teach us to pray." And here, in the center of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus answers their request. Just as you can watch lots of instructional videos on how to do things, but in the end you actually just have to start doing it. Pastor Mike Patz highlights the teaching of the Lord's Prayer as we continue the School of Jesus series, reminding that Jesus is saying, if you...

Imagine you're watching Jesus heal the blind, walk on water, and raise a boy from the dead. In Bible times, the three virtuous practices of the Jews at the new year were: giving to the needy, praying in secret, and fasting. Jesus opened up these works to expand them to bringing righteousness and justice to all He came in contact with. If you had been there, what would you want Him to do for you? I...

Why did the hope of the World and the Messiah of humanity come in the form of a baby? Pastor Mike Patz answers this question and more through the words in Luke 2:8-14 as we approach Christmas day. When the shepherds were approached by the angels, the word says they were terrified! These angels were awesome, terrifying creatures! They declared, "This will be a sign to you." In the Old Testament, Go...

Pastor Oscar Roche continues our School of Jesus series, with a look at Matthew 7:7-12. These words in the Sermon on the Mount can be viewed as the Constitution of the Kingdom. "Ask and you shall receive; seek and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened..." The word "ask" is an invitation to come into the presence of God in relationship. Don't be lax in your relationship with the Lord! O...
