As we come to the close of our Sermon Series on life after death, you may still have many questions. Join us for this session as we consider some of the questions we have received from you.

Quite often, as a mom, you may feel like your days are mundane and ordinary. You may even feel like what you do each day doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. In your world as a mom, the seeds you sow don't often bear fruit until much further down the road and that can be hard on you day in and day out. However, God does see you mom and your tasks that feel mundane each day. He has a purpo...

As followers of Jesus, we have this strong hope that the moment we close our eyes here on earth, we open them to an eternity with Him. When we talk of life after our death, a big question we have to grapple with is this, "What will we look like?" As we think of our life in eternity, what will our bodies be like? The scriptures are not silent about this and this week we take a look to find answers...

If given the chance, would you want to go to heaven right away? While some of us will jump at the chance, some of us would be reluctant. The question then for us as Christians is why would one who believes in heaven struggle with wanting to go there? For some of us, this is a real tension that we feel. Listen in as we explore why this is the case.

In times like the one we're living through currently, we are confronted with the reality of death all around us. For some of us, this fills us with immense fear and anxiety. However, for those who follow Jesus, we're filled with hope. This is not because of we're in denial of the suffering around us, but instead we're grounded in the eternal hope that is found in Christ. In this new series, we loo...

Many of us had a picture of what Easter was supposed to look like. We planned our day, expected to carry on our traditions and those plans probably included being with others. However, in reality, this year it looked much different than years past. As we live in this world of social distancing, our day might have been a bit lonelier, or quieter or simpler. But despite this beautiful day of celebra...

In our society, there is plenty to be said and taught about being a good leader. Books have been written, TED talks have been spoken and seminars happen daily on the topic. But what about choosing a leader? Are there many books written on that topic? Honestly, that may be harder to find. As we have been studying the book of Judges, we have learned about many leaders. This week we take a closer loo...

If we are truthful with ourselves, children are not the only ones afraid of the dark, are they? As adults we also don't like when things are dark around us. In this world, it is inevitable that there will be times in our lives when our circumstances feel dark. But what do we do when we find ourselves in this place? God's Word gives us plenty of examples of dark times for people in the Bible. Often...

Our world is living through a time of unchartered waters, much uncertainty, and unknown circumstances. Because of that, we may be feeling out of control. We cannot control what is going on around us but the good news is that God is in complete control. He is not one bit surprised by our circumstances and He is sovereign over all of it. When we feel like we lack control over what is happening, we c...

Listen in as we respond to the rapidly changing situation with COVID-19. Join us online for our Sunday Services for the foreseeable future.

As we have been studying the book of Judges, we have learned that we, as believers, all have a purpose in His kingdom. The Lord calls us to be set apart for Him, though this is not always an easy feat. But what does being "set apart" actually look like? How does it play out in our everyday lives? What is our responsibility in being "set apart" for him and how do we stay focused with so many distra...

In our walk with Christ, we are called to join His greater story. He calls His people to live lives of trust. While many of us start well, somewhere along the way, life has a way of derailing some of us from God's plan. This may happen as a product of our failures or even our successes. So how do we stay within God's plan for us? How do we continue to live in trust? In this sermon, we look at the...

In our Christian journey, we all encounter situations that are too big for us to handle. How do you respond in such moments? Sometimes, we turn to things and habits that help us alleviate the pain, forget our cares, or even escape reality for a moment. Whether it's binging on our favorite show for hours, turning to alcohol or drugs, eating excessively, etc., this things may aid in leaving behind o...

We know that God is with us all the time. And we know that He is a good God. However, sometimes along the way we can forget these truths. We can even forget Him. When things are going well or everything seems to be in place, it is easy to forget Him in our lives. It's easy to go about our days simply not remembering Him. So, what does it look like to forget God? And what are the consequences for n...

Have you ever experienced being a rut? You feel like you're doing the same thing everyday, and no matter how much you try you're just not able to break out of it? Sometimes in life we get into a cycle of wrong decisions and wrong outcomes, leading us down a dangerous downward spiral. So, how is it that we find ourselves in such a predicament? And once we're in, is there a way out? The people of Is...

Our lives are often filled with events, activities, and other commitments that we say "Yes" to, allowing us to feel a sense of accomplishment. However, the more we say yes, the less we truly accomplish. Could it be that saying "no" may actually benefit us? This reality lends itself to our Christian lives as well. In this sermon we examine what it means to say "yes" to God. Join us as we kick off o...

Finances can certainly be a tricky subject to discuss especially on a Sunday morning. However, money is part of everyday lives and we need it in order to live here on earth. Regardless of how much or how little money we possess, as Christians, we are called to have a healthy relationship with money. This may seem like an easy task but it can be more difficult than we think. In fact, sometimes we h...

Certain tasks we undertake in life seem efficient and often see immediate results. But those same tasks may not always be the most effective. While the task was accomplished, did it really make a difference? And sometimes, the opposite is also true. Some of the tasks that we undertake, may seem inefficient but are in reality, quite effective! On the Christian journey, people often see as an ineffi...

A challenge we often face as Christians is to live consistently with our beliefs. How do we live lives that clarify our faith? Our answer to this question is found in the Word of God. Our strength to live a Christian life is correlated to how we approach God's word. This year, our hope is that you are able to grow in your reading and understanding of the Word of God. Listen in as we talk about how...

A new year brings new hopes and dreams. As we pursue new opportunities and ventures, it is important for us to focus on what's important. It is important to see with clarity, so that we may live consistently with our faith. This month we start a new series titled "20/20 Vision" where we are we consider how we may live with clarity in this new year.

Christmas is a wonderful reminder that Jesus came to this earth to bring peace. He came so that we would have peace with each other and with God. But as we look around, we realize that in our world there is a stark absence of peace. Jesus came, but peace did not? Well, we know that Jesus is coming again and this time He will bring the peace that He promises. So how do we live in between these two...

Have you ever received news that you were pretty excited about, but others around you did not respond the same way? We all respond to events and matter in different ways. While some responses are pretty tame, some of them can be life changing. When Jesus was born, some rejoiced and some we pretty upset. The news of Jesus' coming was a blessing to some but disruptive to others. So why do we respond...

Christmas is here! Christmas Carols are virtually all around us during this season. We hear them everywhere; on the radio, in malls, and waiting rooms, etc. While them may seem commonplace, they declare a grand message: The Messiah has come! Listen in as we take a closer look at some of these carols. Join us as we celebrate the coming and the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. This Sunday, we look...

Many of us have experienced the joys and even the sorrows of finding the person we hope to spend our lives with. As dating in this modern age gets complicated and high-tech, we are often left wondering about the purpose behind it all. As Christians, how do we reflect Christ in the pursuit of the one we hope to marry? This week we talk about the challenges we face when dating and how we may stay fo...

We all have relationships in life. Whether it's with your spouse, children, family, friends, or coworkers, these relationships are often nuanced and have tensions that need to be managed. This week we talk about the challenges we face as parents. While we strive to be the best parents we can be, we often fall short. In our latest sermon in our series, we ask the question "How can we be Christ-like...
