Title: What to Do When Panhandlers Approach According to Jesus, the one thing we must NOT do is nothing…. We’re continuing our Parables series by looking at some of the most influential and important sentences in human history: the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Here’s a simple principle derived from that parable that anyone can put into practice. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Luke 10:25-37

Title: “Do You Have Ears?” Jesus has a warning and a challenge for American Christians. Are we willing to listen? Somewhere we got the idea that you could “believe” in Jesus without actually doing what he said. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Luke 8:1-21 Series: Parables

The End of the Story I lost my dad 4 years ago. Where are we to put our hope in the midst of grief & the uncertainty of life? Jesus, in Luke 8, gives us a living parable that helps us answer that question. Preacher: Jake Porter Scripture: Luke 8:40-56

What I Learned in Nazareth The whole time, it was hiding in plain sight, but I had completely overlooked it for years…. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Luke 4:14-40

Justin Wren, MMA fighter who found redemption among the Pygmies of the Congo and now Uganda, shares his story.

Luke gives us this little detail that tells us just how poor Mary and Joseph were. If the Savior of the world was born to a poor family, I think it tells us something about what should be most important in our own lives. Let’s talk about it. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Luke 2:22-24

You can choose to trust God’s promises or not. If you don’t, you lack of faith won’t hurt God—it’ll hurt you. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Luke 1:5-25 (Zechariah and the Angel)

VBS Sunday. It's quite simple, God is good!    Joshua 3:19-24

We all have different life circumstances, but identical next steps. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Acts 2:42 Occasion: Pentecost Sunday

Too many of us see faith in Christ as a finish line, whereas it’s actually a starting line. For Jesus, his ministry begins after his baptism. The challenge: to ask the Lord “What’s next for me?” for the next 7 days. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Mark 1:9-13

Does God make mistakes? When Jesus encounters a blind man in Mark 8, it seems at first that he messes up the healing. In reality, however, the whole thing is under control. What if that were also the case in your life? Here’s the truth: God has the whole thing under control. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Mark 8:22-26

You have everything you need. How would your life be different if you believed that? Date: 5/19/19 Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Mark 6:30-44 (Feeding of the Five Thousand) Occasion: Confirmation Sunday

Desperation isn’t a bad thing—it is an ESSENTIAL thing.   In Mark 5, we see 2 people who are utterly desperate, and we see that their desperation precedes something miraculous.   Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Mark 5:21-43 Date: 5/12/19

Perception is everything, so how do you know if you are seeing things clearly? Mark 3:20-25

Everybody has the same goals: to be happy, to have a good life, to have peace. But not everybody has the same habits, and it’s your habits that will make you. Small disciplines, big results. Here’s how to be an overnight success. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Mark 1:35 Reference: “Atomic Habits,” by James Clear

Sooner or later, there will come a time when you have nothing to go on, when you feel totally hopeless. What do you then? Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Matthew 28:1-20

On Palm Sunday, the crowds cheered Jesus. Four days later, they jeered: “Crucify him, crucify him.” Why? What happened? The crowd made the same mistake that we make: they thought they knew from current circumstances what the future reality would be. They were wrong. It’s Cross Before Crown, but it’s also Crown After Cross. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Matthew 21:10-11; Matthew 27:15-26

How do you survive and persevere through tough times? When you are out of work and there are no jobs coming, when you’ve been served with divorce papers, when your daughter is struggling to make friends in middle school—when you are in difficulty, how do you make it through? It comes down to this: Keep watch; keep going. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Matthew 26:36-46

Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Matthew 26:36-56 “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy, instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violenc...

Sometimes in life there’s a choice between the easy way and the hard way. But sometimes there is no choice. Sometimes the hard way is the only way. The last week of his life, Jesus knows that there is no way to avoid it: the cross has to come before the crown. And so he spends that week teaching in the Temple Courts, telling his hearers some important—but hard—truths. One of them is this: the grac...

The prayer Jesus taught us says,  “let you will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” yet we live most of our lives trying to bring earth or make earth our heaven. God our Father is good and desires to give us eternal things-eternal life, to match our desires with that which will last forever, to get our hearts off of earthly treasure and focus on eternal life.

“Who Am I?” It’s one of life’s biggest questions. And we all look toward all kinds of man-made things for the answer. But our truest identity as Jesus followers is not our “Do It Yourself” man-made identities, but rather it is the God-given gift of Jesus’s very own identity. What is true of him, is also true of you.

“The cross is laid on every Christian. The first Christ-suffering which every man must experience is the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with his death—we give over our lives to death. Thus it begins; the cross is not the terrible...
