Faithfulness and Fidelity

Our series on the Ten Commandments, Getting a Fresh Start, moves on!

Life is Sacred

Our series on the Ten Commandments, Getting a Fresh Start, moves on!

Where Honor is Due

We now move along in our Getting a Fresh Start series on the Ten Commandments and arrive at the command involving parents. What does it look like to honor your mother and father? 

Take a Break

Up next in our Getting a Fresh Start series on the Ten Commandments, we investigate what might be the most overlooked and ignored commandment: the command to observe a Sabbath rest. 

What's in a Name?

Next in the Getting a Fresh Start series, we focus on the command about taking the name of the Lord "in vain." What does that mean? How do we avoid doing so? 

The Images We Make

Next in the Getting a Fresh Start series, we move on to the command about not making images or idols. We'll also cover what it means that God is "jealous" and what generational cursing/blessing looks like. 

The One True God

Our new sermon series, Getting a Fresh Start, continues! This series will take a fresh look at a well-known part of the Bible: the Ten Commandments. This episode hits the first of the commands in Exodus 20: "Have no other gods before me." Are there competing gods within our midst?

God Spoke

We're kicking off a new sermon series with the New Year! We'll be spending the next several weeks taking a fresh look at a well-known part of the Bible: the Ten Commandments. This episode is sort of an introduction to get us thinking about what we already know—or think we know—about this famous passage. 

Questioning Our Comfort

How highly do we value our comfort? Has comfort become an idol? Are we willing to get uncomfortable in order to grow in our faith? 

Witness to the Light

Our Advent series, Prepare the Way for the Lord, finishes up with this final episode. Like John the Baptist, we are all witnesses to the true Light that has come into the world.
