Sunday Sermons by Mission Church

December 17, 2023 Our rebellion broke our relationship with God, causing discord between us and God. But we serve a God that’s a peacemaker, restoring our fellowship with Him. God wasn’t content with our relationship being broken with Him; God moves toward us in our discord caused by our sin. The Great Peacemaker has given everyone a path toward relational restoration through Jesus. Scriptures we...

December 10, 2023 During the Christmas season the word HOPE is everywhere. In an unsettled world it can be difficult to feel hopeful when life’s challenges shake what we have based our hope on. Christian hope is not reliant on our circumstances working out for the best. Christian hope rests on the character of God for the future despite the challenges of life. Scriptures we dive into today:  1 Pet...

December 3, 2023 What every kid discovers is that joy we experience over a toy that we wanted so badly is temporary. There will always be something else we want, with just as much passion as we had for the last gift. We have a tendency to focus on the things that make us happy in the moment as we trade the eternal joy that comes for God= for a quick fix of temporary happiness. Christmas reminds us...

November 26, 2023 Restoring the Creator, creation relationship is a process, it’s a journey. The journey to hope is the journey of Christ coming to redeem this hurting and broken world. Our journey to hope is the path that brings us to a place of recognizing our need for Jesus. Scriptures we dive into: 1 John 4:9-10; Galatians 4:4-5; Thanks for listening!

November 12, 2023  If you were going to start a movement that would change the world, who would you go after, who would you want to get on your side in order to be an influencer? You’d probably focus on the famous and influential people for their social pull, not the people on the fringe of society. What’s amazing about our Savior is that He was focused on what He can do for people, not what they...

November 5, 2023 Our new series, “First Loser,” looks at the apostle Thomas. We trace his development as a disciple, and the caustic cynicism he expresses that turns instantly into radiant faith when he meets the risen Christ. We look at how Jesus uses “losers” like Thomas to further his kingdom, more often than he uses those we’d consider successful. Scriptures we dive into today: Matthew 16:24-2...

October 29, 2023 For many, being tossed in jail would have marked the end of the journey. Nobody would have faulted Paul if he focused on his release in order to continue his mission after he gets sprung from jail. In Paul’s life, we see someone that faithful to the very end. Paul lived his life on mission as he went from town to town to testify what God had done for him. Paul was not deterred, he...

October 22, 2023 Passion requires care, we need to tend to our passion, otherwise our passion has a way of fizzling out. Tending to our passion is needed for our hobbies or favorite activities. If you stop reading up on your teams, if you stop watching your show for a long time, if you stop reading up on your favorite cause then your passion has a way of fading. This is especially true in our fait...

October 15, 2023 If sharing our faith were a destination, then we tend to give up on the destination because the journey is not going the way we want it to. We need to develop a sense of peace and joy over being faithful to God’s call. Sharing our faith will not always go according to plan, but we must remain resolute in living out our calling to be a witness. What we will see in this leg of Paul’...

October 8, 2023 One of the most daunting callings God has placed on every believer is to be a witness to the world. This feels overwhelming, and time consuming, if we’re being honest! In the daily practice of our faith, being a witness to the world is a calling placed on the life of every believer. The early church practiced their faith and prioritized their calling to be a witness. Their witness...

October 1, 2023. Like a stone thrown into a pool of water the Church begins to spread out from Jerusalem out to Judea, then to neighboring Samaria, and begins to make its way out towards the ends of the earth. Unlikely additions are made to the church and opposition ratchets up. The Expansion of the Church continues as faithful Christians put their faith into action and follow the leading of the H...

September 24, 2023 Scripture guides the work of the church and keeps the message of the resurrection of Jesus central to our mission. The progress of the early church was dependent on these early believer’s growing spiritually. What we will see this morning, is how their growth impacted their witness. Scripture we dive into today:  Matthew 16:18 , Acts 4:5-12 , Acts 4:24-31 , Acts 5:41-42 Thanks f...

September 17, 2023 The central theme of Acts is the resurrected Savior as seen in the sermons and the defenses made in Acts by Paul and Peter to Jewish authorities. We’re starting a new series this morning called, Can I Get a Witness. We will be taking a walk-through Acts to better understand the start of the church and the Acts of the Apostles. Scripture we dive into today:  Matthew 28:19-20 , Ac...

September 10, 2023 When I focus on the ways God is providing for me, then I’m reminded that God is good when life is not. However, my faith drifts when I get too focused on my struggle – I fail to see the spiritual blessings from God in my life because I get more focused on what God isn’t doing, instead of seeing what God is doing. Trials is an area of our life that we’re all looking for a miracle...

September 3, 2023 We continue our series, It Would Take a Miracle, on raising our awareness of God’s work in the world with a discussion of common grace. Common grace is the everyday goodness God built into the world and our lives. We discuss a few examples – meaning and love, provision and preservation, that can be seen in every human life in history. Scripture we dive into today:  Psalms 19 , Ro...

August 27, 2023 Do you believe in miracles? If we’re being honest, this is church after-all, I think we believe in the possibility of miracles, but we’re probably more likely to seek a logical explanation for the events we witness instead of looking for God in the miracle. Perhaps a better question is, “does my faith believe in miracles?” Scripture we dive into today:   Hebrews 2:1-4 , 2 Kings 4:1...

August 20, 2023 We conclude our series, God’s Creativity in Us, by looking at story-telling, specifically in Jesus’ favorite form, the parable. We look at what parables were, and a phrase they often included, “the kingdom of God.” Jesus used parables with wild, exaggerated imagery and drama to get our attention and draw it not just toward moral lessons or philosophical ideas, but to Himself and wh...

August 13, 2023 As we continue our series on God's Creativity In Us, guest worship artist and teacher Erskin opens to the book of Joshua. Join us as we sing praises to the Lord and are challenged by the question, "Who will you serve today?"  Scripture we dive into today:  Joshua 1:6-9 Joshua 24:13-24 Thanks for listening!

God's Creativity in Us (Wk 1) August 6, 2023 When we think about the work of making; whether you’re making art, making a mix-tape, making a company, making a garden, making ends meet, or making dinner; whether we realize it or not, we’re tapping into the creative energy rooted deep in our life with God. The creative spark inside you – no matter how small or big, is a stamp of the One Who Creat...

July 30, 2023 Triumphant Faith doesn’t happen overnight and without deliberate practice on the part of the Follower of Jesus. James emphasizes that just as a farmer patiently waits for the harvest, Christians must practice patience, trust in God's timing, and remain steadfast in their faith. The examples of the prophets and Job illustrate the importance of enduring suffering without grumbling,...

The Characteristics of Faith (Pt 2) Proves itself by works, Controls the Tongue James directs the characteristics of our faith by saying that the real effectiveness of our faith is demonstrated when our faith is put to the test.

July 9, 2023 Every believer wants to have a deep faith; the kind of faith that can stand up during difficult times, that believes despite seasons of doubt, a faith that follows despite our feelings. The book of James is like a gym for our faith, giving us the tools and knowledge to build a faith that’s lasting. James lays out for us several characteristics we should develop as followers of Christ....

June 25, 2023 We conclude our series on prayer, Let’s CHAT, with the final letter: T for thanks. Gratitude is more than a superficial activity, it’s a perspective and entire lifestyle. We’ll talk about aggressive gratitude and resurrection thankfulness, two dynamic ideas that help us work thankfulness down into who we are. Scripture we dive into today:  Philippians 4:4-7, Luke17:1-19  Thanks for l...
