Who's really in control of this world? According to God's Word, it's satan. He is the current instigator amongst the world's governments. Therefore, if you disapprove of what you're witnessing, you can trace your disappointment to the sin introduced into God's creation by the evil one. Join us this Sunday for our sermon, "This World's System," from selected Scriptures verifying the protection offe...

This world has always been filled with liars. Charles Ponzi, Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds & Bill Clinton to name a few. This is what happens when you're from earth, you speak from the earth. Jesus wasn't from earth, He was from Heaven. Therefore, Jesus spoke from Heaven. Join us for our sermon "Jesus is Above All," from John 3:31-36, where we'll be encouraged to Believe the testimony of Jesus as G...

There are many who call themselves spiritual leaders, but not all who lead, do so biblically. Unfortunately, many spiritual leaders make their ministries about themselves. It’s all about their abilities and accomplishments. As we continue our series in the book of John, we find John the Baptist once again explaining to individuals, that he is not the Christ. Nor is he even close. In fact, John is...

In the court of law, a not guilty verdict doesn't necessarily mean without guilt. It just indicates that judgment went in favor of the defendant. As Believers, we understand that we're born guilty of sinful behavior. Therefore, we're more concerned with a pardon, rather than a not guilty verdict. Join us this Sunday for our sermon "Believe or be Judged," from John 3:16-21, where we'll be encourage...

Need to get a project done that you've never previously attempted? No problem, there's a YouTube video for that. In fact, we have access to an unlimited supply of tutorials on how to do anything. Though "How To" tutorials are sufficient for getting a project done, there's no "How To" be saved. Join us for our sermon "Born Again" from John 3:1-14, where we'll observe Nicodemus being taught by Jesus...

Jesus knows all! This should give us great comfort, as there is nothing that He does not know. Before creation, He knew the cross was His fate. Just like before we knew Him, He already knew us. Join us this Sunday as we explore John 2:18-25 in our sermon, "Jesus' Divine Display".

The commercialization of church is nothing new. Profiting off religion even pre-dates Jesus. In fact, the Jewish leaders commercialized sacrifices in the temple. Join us this Sunday as we observe John 2:12-17, where Jesus clears out the merchants & money changers from His Father's House in our sermon, "Den of Thieves".

Quite simply, Christians operate like conduits to Christ. We channel others to Him, as He works through us, but never by us. Our testimony of Jesus as Messiah is what makes this possible. We testify to this truth like those who've gone before us, namely John the Baptist and his disciples. Join us for our sermon "The Disciples Testimony," from John 1:35-51, where we'll be encouraged by God, as He w...

Many people are familiar with the scene of a courtroom. Some may have even been called as a witness in a case. Some are called as an eye witness to the crime, or as an expert in a field relevant to the case. Or sometimes, people are called as a character witness in defense of the defendant. Join us this Sunday, as we continue our series in the book of John. In verses 1:19-28, we find the religious...

If Jesus is not God, then Christianity ceases to exist. As Believers, we've received the fullness of God, through Jesus & His ever replenishing grace! Join us this Sunday for our sermon, "The Word Became Flesh" from John 1:14-18, where we'll worship our God, who took on human form, for the sake of our salvation!

No matter how much the sun illuminates, there's still only one true light. One true light that illuminates eternal darkness. One true light that reveals salvation. One true light that illuminates grace for the children of God. Join us this Sunday for our sermon "The Light," from John 1:6-13, where we'll be encouraged in the eternal significance of the true light, Jesus Christ!

Christianity and every other man-made religion have many glaring distinctions, but one reigns supreme; the deity of Christ. Not only does He pre-exist creation, co-exist as God, but He also self-exists as life itself. Join us this Sunday for our sermon, "The Word" from John 1:1-5, where we'll recognize the truth that Jesus is God of salvaiton.

It's Biblically true that you are saved by faith. However, the important question is…faith in what? You can have strong faith in anything, but your measure of faith does not make it true or beneficial. It’s clear by Scripture, that Saving Faith, is faith placed in the Person and work of Jesus Christ for salvation. Join us this Sunday, as we study Romans 12:1-8, where we'll examine one major way th...

God's mercy & compassion are revealed by His grace. We have been gifted this eternal protection through the work of Jesus. This is a message that we go forward with in our lives. Jonah, was asked to do as much in Nineveh. However, he was a reluctant prophet that didn't want pagans to receive the same mercy, compasson & grace as the Hebrews. Join us this Sunday for our sermon "God's Amazing Grace,"...

God's plan of redemption incorporated the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus from the beginning. What an amazing God we worship! He created, despite knowing that He, Himself, would have to go to the cross. What's even better, is that the cross He went to will remain empty for all of eternity! Join us this Resurrection Sunday for our sermon "Why an Empty Cross?", from 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, whe...

The Gospel message clearly incorporates grace, faith & mercy. We deserve God's judgment, but are spared said judgment due to His amazing grace. The grace of God is reserved for those who exclusively have faith in the person and work of Jesus. Join us this Sunday to witness God's abundant mercy on full display in our sermon, "God of Mercy" from Jonah 3:1-10.

Our God is full of mercy, which He wants to extend to all humanity. Unfortunately, not all of humanity will accept His mercy. This was the challenge for Jonah. He was asked to preach mercy to the people of Nineveh. A pagan city that he felt to be undeserving of God's mercy. Join us this Sunday for our sermon, "Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide," from Jonah 1:1-6. In these verses, will be encouraged...

Not all who've heard the Gospel are saved. In fact, it's those who've heard the Gospel & receive Christ that are saved. James ends his letter with a very strong encouragement to the church. He challenges fellow brothers & sisters in Christ to re-evangelize those who've yet to receive Jesus. Join us this Sunday for our sermon "Brought Back to Salvation" from James 5:19-20, where we'll be encouraged...

Christians will suffer at some point here on earth. We realize that all suffering is caused by the curse of sin. How, as Christians, should we react and what can we do about it? In James 5:13-18, we learn that the prayer of faith from a righteous person can be very powerful against the curse of sin. That begs the question… who is righteous and how do they attain that status? Join us this Sunday as...

It's a far gone conclusion that we as Christians will suffer under trials & tribulations. Suffering is part of endurance training. Therefore, we're training temporarily for the promise of our future hope, eternity. Join us for our sermon "Patience While Suffering" from James 5:7-12, where we'll be encouraged to endure on with patinece, while suffering.

A wealthy person is anyone who has any amount of surplus, after their basic needs are met. Therefore, having wealth is not sinful. In fact, it's what we do with our wealth that determines sinful behavior. Join us this Sunday for our sermon "Warning About Wealth" from James 5:1-6, where we'll be encouraged in as much.

Solomon wisely said: "There's nothing new under the sun". This is true, even among things that are false. Therefore, the same lie told in the Garden, is the same lie told to this very day! This Sunday, join us for our sermon "Same Lie, Different Day" from Genesis 3:1-7, where we'll observe how the serpent got Eve to doubt God's Word, leading her & Adam to shame.

No one likes a hypocrite! The problem is, we are all hypocrites in some way. Even as followers of Christ, we sometimes fail to live up to the standards we claim to live by. Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in the book of James. We will examine verses 4:13-17, where we'll find James calling out a group of Christians for living in a way that excludes God from their major decisions in li...

This world's water supply needs to be purified prior to consumption. Similarly, our heart needs to be purified prior to the Holy Spirit's residency. This is part of God's promise, through Jesus, of giving living water to those who ask. It's those who ask that are being cleansed through repentance. Join us this Sunday, for our sermon "Purify Your Heart" from James 4:7-12, where we'll be encouraged...

Throughout the entire Bible it's abundantly clear that any friend of the world is an enemy of God. Therefore, what the world accepts, God rejects and what the world rejects, God accepts. Join us for our sermon this Sunday, "Enemies of God" from James 4:1-6, where James explains as much.
