As our series comes to an end, we see a fourth visitation from God: the gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus’ ascension into heaven may have seemed to some like a loss; the Messiah was gone! But when Jesus left He promised that the Holy Spirit would indwell God’s people and fill them with power to be His witnesses. This morning we will see that God has given us power for our mission, and that the harves...

For this week's message we get to read one of the coolest passages in the Bible. This is the story of Jesus visiting two of his followers on the road after his resurrection. And as he visits with them, we'll see two ways in which he visits us today!

Our God is a visiting God. Perhaps there was no greater visit to humanity than Jesus' visit from the tomb. Talk about a surprise visit! This morning we'll consider this incredible account and how the resurrection of Jesus makes a difference in our lives today!

It's Palm Sunday, which marks the beginning of the last week of Jesus' life. And in Luke's account, he gives 5 stories that shape our understanding of what happened when Jesus came into Jerusalem on his way to the cross. This was more than an event where the crowds waived palms around. It was a moment of inclusion into the kingdom, judgement for Jerusalem, and ultimately a moment where the lordshi...

What does it mean to believe in "the holy catholic church? "What does it mean to participate in "the communion of the saints?" These questions will be explored in this message.

The goal of this message is to help us see that salvation is a work of God from start to finish. There is nothing that we can add to what Jesus...

A good movie trailer makes us want to watch the movie. These previews give us just enough information to make us curious about the whole story. For the ancient Israelites who anticipated God’s deliverance the scriptures were similar to today’s movie trailers. God’s people were given bits and pieces of information about a coming savior, yet much of the story remained a mystery - until Jesus came. I...

Who is Jesus of Nazareth? The Scriptures teach us that he is both divine and human. But how do these two natures work together? What does it mean for Jesus to be the God-Man? These questions will be considered in our message.
