Special guest Speaker Matt Bachara encourages us to begin the new year focused on Christ.

The story of Christmas is so much more than a tale of a baby being born. It is the story of God coming into the world to save his people.

Immanuel, God with us. That was the promise from the OT that the child would be born to a virgin. And his name would be Immanuel which means God is with that. And that truth gives us such hope. But why? The truth is this name reveals that there was a time that God was not with us. We were separated from God. The name reveals the hope of the gospel. That God himself would come to make things right....

What is justice? The truth is we may not be able to define it, but we all have a sense of what justice is. Justice is where wrongs are made right. It is where what is right is preserved. It is where those who do right are rewarded and those who do wrong are punished. We all want justice when it comes to our lives and the causes, we find important. But the problem is our sense of justice has been d...

One of the things that seems to be natural for us as humans is we can seek the wrong and inconsistency and sin in others, while at the same time ignoring the same qualities in our own lives. But the word of God warns against that kind of hypocrisy. The truth is as Christians we ought to live a life of humility because we have nothing to boast about except for the finished word of Christ on our beh...

Have you ever tried to help someone or give a person some advice only to have them respond with these two words; “I know”. And what we discover is this statement is not meant as “I know, I need to do that” but rather it is “I know, now leave me alone about it”. There are lots of things that we all seem to “know”, but that doesn’t change what we do. This is Paul’s indictment of mankind. Mankind kno...

The root of mankind’s problem with God is the fact that mankind doesn’t want God. Paul makes it clear that man suppresses the truth about God, and refuses to honor him as such and trades the glory of God for created things as he gives up worshiping the creator in favor of the creature. The bottom line is mankind in his unregenerated state rejects God at every level. And how is God’s wrath against...

The truth is we were all made to worship. We were created by God in His image, and we were created for a relationship with him. Worship is the natural outworking of who we are. And because of that we all will worship something. If we refuse to worship God, we will invariably worship some false God, be it the God of a false religion, or the philosophies of men, or material things like money, or ent...

The question that many have is “what happens to the innocent man who lives in the jungle who never hears the gospel?” The late RC Sproul responded with “if an innocent man living in the jungle who never hears the gospel dies, he immediately goes to heaven. The only problem is there is no such thing as an innocent man anywhere”. This is the truth that Romans 1 makes clear. No one is innocent becaus...

The reason why the truth about the wrath of God is hard for so many of us to reconcile is because the wrath of God is not just revealed against strangers out there. The wrath of God is revealed against ALL sin. Including the sin of those we know and love. That means our neighbors, and coworkers, and family members who reject the gospel and embrace their sin, no matter how culturally accepted it ma...

The good news is only the good news when you understand the bad news. The good news of the gospel is founded on the truth that all of man kind is in rebellion to a holy God. And because of that, we will all face him and he will give us what we deserve. Which means we are hopeless on our own. That is the bad news. But the Good news is, that God in his grace and mercy has made a way for us not only...

The truth is simple, the gospel is the great equalizer because every who enters the kingdom of heaven does so by faith! It is not about being a good person, it's not about how much money you have, it is not about your skin color. The only way that we are saved is by faith alone in the gospel. There are no superstar Christians. We all come to God desperately in need of a savior. And by faith in Chr...

Prayer is a miraculous gift that God has given us. We enter into the presence of God through the blood of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. What a wonderful gift! And what a wonderful gift for you to go before God and pray for someone else. Listen to this weeks message.

Special Guest Speaker: Dr. David Larson

The Gospel, the truth that a holy, righteous, and just God (who needs nothing from us) would make a way to have intimate fellowship with sinful man. This week began a new series in Romans and it's about that glorious gospel. This series is nearly 5 years in the making. Listen to Part 1!

As Paul wraps up his letter, he reminds Timothy to guard the word of God and to remind those who have resources, to invest in treasure in Heaven. Listen to this weeks message.

Paul tells Timothy to give all he has to complete his mission, And the reason why is because of who God is and what he has done for us. Listen to this weeks message.

The future hope we have in Christ empowers us to live boldly for Christ today. Listen to this weeks message.

One of the most important questions you can ask is, what is your relationship with God for? Is it for you? Or is it for God? Some people see God as a means to an end. But Christians see God and glorifying him as the end itself. Listen to this weeks message.

There is a lot of talk about freedom nowadays. And the truth is, our freedoms are in danger. But now it's more important than ever to remember who our true master is, and give him all honor and glory. Listen to this week's message.

THE CHURCH IS GOD'S FAMILY. WHICH MEANS WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER. THE PASTOR TAKES SPIRITUAL CARE OF THE CHURCH. BUT HOW DO THE MEMBERS CARE FOR THE PASTOR? LISTEN TO THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE. 1 TIMOTHY 6:1-2
