Do you truly see Jesus as a Savior? The idea of a savior is likely not common for most of us today. Especially with that "can do" spirit that fosters a false sense of self-sufficiency, many don't think they need one? But there are some hardships or trials that human efforts will not overcome. That's where Jesus can save us if we let him. In Luke 2, the lowly shepherds were given this good news: 1....

"Letting justice roll down, as Amos proclaims, means letting it bring healing to ourselves, to each other and to our land with the quenching waters that make wrongs right as they cleanse the dirt and filth of injustice. God teaches us to love good and hate evil, but our world is filled with both our own greed and individual injustice and systems of injustice. We will take a look at how the system...

Injustice permeates our world, yet as Christians we sometimes turn a blind eye to the suffering of others or become callaus. King Jeroboams' reign had been quite profitable for the Northern Kingdom, at least in a material sense but moral decay was settling in. And so God spoke through the prophet Amos that He was going to judge the people of Israel - 'The Northern Kingdom' because of their Privile...

Zacchaeus. We all want to belong, because we have been created for community. But unfortunately people are more likely to be exclusive rather than inclusive. Zacchaeus the tax collector was one who wanted to belong, but he was instead excluded by his own people. 1. As an outcast, Zacchaeus desperately wanted to see Jesus. (v.2-4) 2. Jesus sees the marginalized and his presense brings great joy. (v...

Are you desperately seeking Jesus? What does a life desperate for Jesus even look like? Join us this Sunday as Caitlyn Shelnutt continues our sermon series by looking at the story of the forgiven woman in Luke 7, and reminds us of God’s boundless grace and unconditional love! The woman with the jar of perfume. Last week we heard the story of a man who was desperately seeking life, but could not le...

The rich young ruler. I’ll be tackling why it’s often hard for us to desperately seek after Jesus. We know it’s right or good in our heads, but for some reason there’s a disconnect when we go to live our lives. We find ourselves not desperately seeking Jesus but seeking other things, often desperately. In the case of the rich young ruler, Jesus hit the nail on the head and identified the idol of h...

The bleeding woman deonstrated a faith that: 1. Takes risks. 2. Gets Jesus' complete attention. 3. Is not perfect. 4. Brings a full healing Are you desperately seeking healing? Do you want to be like this woman? Desperate faith receives scandalous grace.

Intro series: Are you Desparate? for Jesus? In this new chapter for our church, we will continue to focus on growing our faith, and pursuing our mission; we must see our church as: 1. An Emergency Room. We all come "sick." We must have a sense of urgency to get well, even desperation to pursue God. What are you desperate for? 2. Lights. We are on the move seeking the desperate among us. What are y...

Throughout the Bible, God often uses strange and unlikely means to achieve His goals. Turning water into wine, using his own saliva to open the eyes of a blind person, and marching around the walls of Jericho? As we continue our sermon series - "Moving Forward" we want to REMEMBER that things might be hard for us, but nothing is ever too hard for God. In OBDIENCE we fight our battles with prayers...
