Pastor David Thompson preaches in the book of 2 Corinthians. He uses chapter 4:16-18 to help us see a different perspective of trials in that with an eternal perspective trials can actually contain blessings.

As Christians, we are called to serve. However, Jesus doesn't call us to something that He didn't model Himself. As the ultimate Servant, Jesus demonstrates what service looks like and how it can impact the one serving and the world around them.

In our busy lives, one thing that often goes by the wayside is our relationships with others. But Jesus, even with His busy schedule, made people a priority. Pastor Sammy shares how we can prioritize relationships like Jesus and love others well.

Forgiveness can be a daunting and seemingly unthinkable task. Throughout time and even in today's day in age it seems easiest to seek revenge on those who have hurt us. This sermon magnifies Jesus' example of ultimate love when He asks His Father to forgive those who mock and persecute Him "for they do not know what they are doing." We learn that forgiveness ultimately frees the forgiver and heals...

Trials and hardships are part of this life. Despite knowing this, even as a believer in Jesus, we can still become discouraged. Pastor Steve Healy unpacks the mindset Christ would have us maintain between the “no longer where I once was” and the “not yet where I am supposed to be."

While we don't always see the beginning from the end in life, we do have control over the lens in which we view it. As followers of Jesus, we've been assured of victory, but do we live life through that lens? Pastor Paul encourages us to remember the report we've been given and to view the good and the bad in life with the proper perspective.

As children of God, we can have extreme courage and confidence in the midst of life's challenges. We are called to be strong, because we serve a strong God. Pastor John shows the mindset we should have in the midst of difficulty.

We are stronger together. With a mission to carry out, we need to be united to remain strong in the midst of opposition. Pastor Sammy shows the necessity of unity within the church and explains what we can accomplish together.

In the midst of extreme difficulty and opposition, the church can have incredible strength. Because the church has a Hope. After the loss of our Senior Pastor, Pastor Steve shares the hope we have in the midst of tragedy and how we can rally together to be hope to the world around us.

One thing we can have confidence in when difficulty strikes is that church is our family. This is how God designed it to help us succeed. Pastor Steve shares what church family should look like and how we can work together to be a light in a dark world.

There is a key attitude that we need to have in order to unlock joy in any circumstance, and that perspective is gratitude. We, as the church, should be the most grateful people. Pastor Paul shares what gratitude does in your life and how to live a grateful life.

Since the beginning, humanity has had an enemy who has sought to cause us great trouble. Where the enemy desires to destroy, the church was created to take back territory from him. The church was designed to be offensive, not defensive. Pastor Paul shares how we can take back territory from the enemy and be a community-changing church for Jesus.

Jesus was the prime example of generosity, and with that example, the church was formed to be the the same. Pastor Steve shares what a generous church looks like and the impact it can have on the world around us.

The church was the movement born out of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But with Jesus' inclusion of the Gentiles in His ministry, the question arose, who is the church for and how should we view those outside it? Pastor Paul examines Jesus' words and how the early church treated the world around it.

In the midst of the uncertainty of life, we can fully put our trust in only One. Jesus' claim to be the Truth and the Life gives us assurance that we can trust Him no matter what. When we encounter difficult times and when we make plans for the future, we can have a confidence in Jesus.

Jesus made some outrageous claims during His time on this earth. These claims shocked the people in His day and have a huge impact on us today. Pastor John unpacks Jesus' claims and how we view Jesus in the midst of the cultural mindset today.

As Christians, we are called to be fruitful, but we cannot be fruitful on our own. Jesus refers to Himself as the True Vine and shows us what true Christianity looks like. Pastor John shares what it means to be fruitful and how we live like Jesus intended.

Jesus' title, The Good Shepherd and the Gate, reveals a lot about His heart for the church and about us as His children. Pastor Sammy reveals what Jesus says about us and How we should view Him.

One of Jesus' claims was that He is the Light of the World. Apart from Him, we walk in darkness. Pastor John shares what Jesus reveals in our life, and how we can move from darkness to the Light.

We all seek fulfillment, but we look for it in all the wrong places. Knowing this, Jesus refers to Himself as the Bread of Life. He promises that true satisfaction is found in Him.
