Current Sermon Series: “Jesus’ Inside Friends”
So often when we talk about “the friends of Jesus” we are most likely to focus on the apostles, Peter, Paul, those who as Jesus says, “you are my friends if you do what I command you.” What about the people that Jesus seemed to welcome in and with whom He invited in the broken, bruised, unwanted or unwelcomed. Do these describe our friends?

Sermon Series: “The Forgotten God”
Pastor Francis Chan in his book, “The Forgotten God,” presents the case that many churches, even if they would not say it’s true, have forgotten God in their worship and practice by neglecting the person and practice of the Holy Spirit. Is this true for each of us? Could this be said about our church? Do we live and minister in such comfort that we have eliminated the need of God’s Spirit? Would we even notice His absence?

Afraid of Answering the Door (Sermon 1/27/19)Fear can motivate us, paralyze us and even cripple us in our lives. We all have some fear of something(s). Two questions:1. Are you afraid of what other people think of you?2. Are you afraid of following Jesus?
- Jan 13, 2019I’ve Got Jesus, I’m All Set (Sermon 1/13/19)
I’ve Got Jesus, I’m All Set (Sermon 1/13/19)The Holy Spirit for many is the least understood, and the most underappreciated person of the Trinity. Many are more comfortable saying they want “Jesus with them,” but shy away from acknowledging the Holy Spirit as part of their lives.
Sermon Series: “LIFE’S BIG QUESTIONS ANSWERED”
There are four big questions everyone has to face sooner or later.
“Where did I come from?”
“Why am I here?”
“How should I live?”
“Where am I going?”
This Advent Season we will be looking at Scriptures from the Prophet Isaiah, and the Gospels to see how Christmas holds the answers to life’s biggest questions for all of us.

- Dec 2, 2018Mud Pies in the Slum (Sermon 12/2/18)
Mud Pies in the Slum (Sermon 12/2/18)Different agencies have set different values on a human life. The Environmental Protection Agency set the value of a life at $9.1 million in 2010. The Food and Drug Administration, on the other hand, came up with a value of $7.9 million and finally, the Transportation Department said it was around $6 million, July 21, 2017. Many struggle with the idea that their life has no value or worth to anyone. If it has no value, then I must not matter. God says otherwise.
