1 Samuel 3 Pastor Drew Williams When I was growing up, I was very talkative. You can just ask my mom, she’ll tell you that I was never guilty of being too quiet or shy.

I’m often uncomfortable w...

Genesis 2:18 -26 Pastor Erik Anderson We're gonna be right there in Genesis chapter two. (...) It'll be the end of the chapter beginning in verse 18. And this is what we read this morning.

Acts 2:42-47 Pastor Drew Williams My problem started when I started reading the Bible for myself. It was this exact Bible, actually. The one given to me by my parents when I graduated 8th grade.

Remember How Far He's Brought Us Deuteronomy 8:2-19 Pastor Drew Williams Have you ever looked back at an old picture of someone else and been surprised by how much they have changed?

Matthew 5:8; Psalm 51 Pastor Drew Williams It’s a new year, and I want to make sure to not bring the wrong burdens into this year.

When Pagans Preach the Gospel (Epiphany) Matthew 2:1-12 Pastor Erik Anderson - Well, we begin our passage at the beginning of this chapter that this story of the wise men, which by the way, occurred a couple years probably after Jesus was born.
