Jeremiah was given the task of sharing some very bad news with Israel: armies were about to pour in from the north to bring about unparalleled destruction.    But he also brings a message of hope and restoration, of a great reversal that will happen… in God’s time.    In this exposition of Jeremiah 1:10-16 we look at how Jeremiah's message of destruction and hope, uprooting and replanting, demolit...

God doesn't always ask us to do easy things. Sometimes he asks us to do things that threaten our comfort, security, or approval of others. The call of Jeremiah is unique, but it also gives us a pattern of responding to the costly call of following God.

"Do I need to forgive someone right away?" This post is Pastor Steve's attempt to answer the question above. It depends a little on what we mean by forgiveness. Do we mean releasing internal anger and hurt, or restoring a relationship, or both? What if it's not possible to restore the relationship? Does the nature of the relationship need to stay the same?

The phrase “Love Wins” has a lot of traction in our culture today. It represents the idea that in the end, God’s love will overcome anything and everything else in order to bring us good. Is that what it means when the Bible says, “God is love”?

Have you ever doubted that you were saved? What do we do with those kinds of doubts? Can we really know for sure? This sermon looks at what the book of 1 John has to say about these important questions.

Have you ever been excited for something to happen that didn’t quite live up to your expectations? At home? At church? The people in Haggai’s day were excited to return to their land after 70 years in exile. But when they returned, their expectations were not met. And because of it, they responded with disobedience. How do we respond to disappointment, and what can Haggai teach us about this today...

This sermon explores the series of decisions and events that led up to the destruction of Jerusalem at the time of Jeremiah. As the Assyrians raided the land once again and sent the people into exile they would have asked, "how did we get here?" The author of Kings wants us to know the answer to that question.

Reform: To make a change for the better.    Israel’s history is bleak: A divided kingdom, unrelenting pressure from violent neighbors, and a long series of corrupt kings.   But there were a few bright spots too: Kings that brought much needed reform.    Could these kings save Israel?   What can we learn from their example? This sermon summarizes the reigns of Joash, Hezekiah, and Josiah.

Are we even able to do good works at all? Do our works ever please God? It depends. Let’s think about it today.

Text: 1 John 1:1-4. Series: 1 John: Assurance Speaker: John Dubois The coming of Jesus, into the world, is the greatest good news of all. Jesus came clearly and tangibly. His followers really saw him and heard him in time and space. They touched him, and he was really there! The basis for our faith is grounded in the certain reality of the coming of Jesus. We therefore have great confidence in God...
