Greenhouse Sermons

Pastor Mike concludes our Out of the Silence series by highlighting the first tradition of Christmas. This year make worshiping Jesus, the Prince of Peace on Christmas. May Shalom be a reality in your life this season.

Our Christmas series, Out of the Silence, continues as Byron Williams shares that Jesus should always be our inspiration. We can find ourselves living a mundane, passionless story. Our lives can lose focus on our first true love. Disappointments may come in our lives, but Jesus is the best inspiration we can have, and He has come!

There were 400 years for the people of God from the time of the prophet Micah to the birth of Jesus. This was a silent, waiting time. What does it mean to live incarnationally? How do we live in a way that brings glory to the coming again King? Greenhouse welcomes our guest missionary to share how we can wait for Christ on mission.

Our sermon series on the book of Job concludes this week as Pastor Mike Patz asks, "is there purpose in the pain?" After losing everything, Job has every reason to curse God, and yet in his perseverance the Creator comes to him. The very good news is those who persevere will receive "the crown of life" (James 5:11).

Our series on the book of Job continues with the reality of the difficulty of comforting someone who is grieving. In chapter 16, Job says, "miserable comforters are you all." However, God's plan is for the church to be a place of healing and hope knowing His righteous character at work in our lives, coming alongside and listening.

As we continue our series on Job, Pastor Mike Patz challenges us to avoid words without knowledge. When God talks back, all of earth must listen. The wisdom of the Creator in Job 38 is the only true center of our lives.

We look at the oldest book in the Bible, Job,  in our new sermon series on Suffering beginning this week. Suffering is all philosophical until it happens to you. You do have an adversary, but it's not God! When troubled with things we don't understand, we must hold tight to the things we do understand. God is worthy of praise even in the suffering.

Pastor Mike wraps up the Navigate series with the focus of navigating God's will.

In this sermon in the Navigate series, Dick Brogden shares the true meaning of the Gospel. "... all nations shall be blessed by the Gospel." He is a God of holiness and wrath against sin, balanced by mercy and grace. The love of God saved us from the wrath of God for God. This is good news!

Brian Sanders continues the Navigate series as we are finding the way around the pressing issues of our times. Have you ever felt lost in your life, asking what am I doing, will I make it, what's my purpose? If you're struggling to find your way in your own life you're not alone. There is an artist creating your life, and He is making all things beautiful in its own time.

The Navigate series continues with the question, "how do we navigate the dividing culture of sexual identity?" Disciples of Christ must come meekly and humbly with the difficult message of the truth of the Gospel of Jesus. We are the products of a well-planned agenda focused upon us. We must invite Jesus to be the Lord of our passions.

In this sermon in our navigate series, Pastor Mike Patz tackles Navigating Sexuality. The world's pattern of sex is deforming, however the biblical pattern of sex is transforming. Redemption comes when we reject the patterns of this world, run to God, and receive the perfect love of the cross of Jesus.

Pastor Mike Patz continues the Navigate sermon series with the challenge of navigating conflicting conversations using the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4. All people are made in the image of God. When faced with conflict we must first connect with that Imago dei, seeing people clearly as they really are. Our conversation then redirects them to the divine character of the God who sees and l...

The Navigate series continues as Pastor Matt Ulrich shares his story of wrestling with the truth in John 14:6, the exclusivity of Jesus as The Way, The Truth, and The Life. The path God laid out for us is different from every other world religion. Jesus claimed to be God and came to dwell among us as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Where religion causes division and strife, only the gift of God...

A new series, Navigate, begins today as Pastor Mike Patz unpacks Matthew 5:17-20. When you find yourself in uncharted territories or treacherous waters, you need a compass you can count on. The Bible is God's navigation device for anyone humble enough to accept it. Give the Bible the absolute authority in your life!

Pastor Mike Patz concludes our Living on Purpose series by challenging us to Live in Our Divine Design. "By grace through faith" we were created to do good works in Him. You're never too old or too young to figure out how you've been designed to live. When we discern who we are, instead of being distracted by who we're not, we will live a life with focus that brings incredible fruit.

As we continue our Living On Purpose series, we learn that not only do we have an assignment, but it is attached to the character of God. Pastor Mike Patz challenges us to join in the primary purpose of His rescue mission of compassion, because lostness matters to God.

God wants to use your life! Mike Patz begins a new series, Living on Purpose, with the story of the charge by God to Joshua, "be strong and courageous, do not be afraid." Get clear about your assignment, and know that you are not alone. God is with you and wants you to succeed.

This week Greenhouse Church welcomes Nona Jones to the pulpit. The toxin of comparison is rampant in our society today. God has a specific purpose for each individual, and you will never need to measure up to another person's purpose. Insecurity is rooted in identity! We must be secure in the kingship of God and His plan for us.

Our Movement series concludes as Pastor  Mike Patz calls us to tap into the powerful presence of God that comes when we pray. In Acts 12 the disciples were praying earnestly for the release of Peter from prison, and for the gospel to go forth. Our prayers fulfill the promise of God: "I want to partner with you!" History belongs to the people who pray.

In this sermon from the Movement series, Pastor Mike Patz asks the question, "What is a Christian?" The encounter of the early church in Antioch in Acts 11 shows us that the disciples were so identified with and submitted to their King Jesus that they were first named Christian there. When Christian = Disciple we will change the world!

As we continue our Movement series, Brooke Bauzon, in Acts 10 the Holy Spirit came upon all who heard the Gospel message. The early church was being called out to the Gentiles, past the barriers based on the biases of the religious law. Barriers are broken in our "but-God" moments. Allow the movement of the Gospel to go through us to all people.

We as humans love to think we are the answer to our problems. Pastor Mike Lane continues our series, The Movement, with a look at the change in the life of Saul, now Paul, in Acts 9:1-18. We must come to believe again that everything Jesus gets ahold of comes to life. You and I were never meant to be the answer to our problems. The Gospel is the only thing that can break the sinful patterns of our...

Missions Director Andrea Levings highlights Acts 8 and the story of the Ethiopian eunuch.  This passage reveals God's intention to spread the Gospel to every nation, tribe and tongue, all the while offering significance and healing to each one of us, even in our most insecure qualities.

Speaker Info: Will Jones - Evangelist and Lead Communicator of Awakening Ministries International. The Gospel cannot be contained! It wasn't natural or easy for the early Church to be scattered. Will Jones continues our Movement series with thoughts from Acts 8:1-8, commissioning us to be filled with God's Spirit, then allow ourselves to be scattered wherever we go. Be on mission, proclaiming the...
