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.

It's Time to Turn

Our Advent series, Prepare the Way for the Lord, continues with this third episode. We're following the themes found in a book by the same name from author Adam Hamilton. Now, we turn our eyes to the heart of John's message: repentance. What does it mean to "repent?" What does repentance look like? 

Mysterious Ways

Our Advent series, Prepare the Way for the Lord, continues with this episode. We're following the themes found in a book by the same name from author Adam Hamilton. This second episode opens our eyes to the "mysterious ways" through which God chose to work in the birth story of John the Baptist... and how God often still chooses those kinds of ways in our lives today. 

God Hears

It's time for Advent! Our Advent series this year is called Prepare the Way for the Lord and it will follow the themes found in a book by the same name from author Adam Hamilton. This first episode looks at the prayers of Zechariah and Elizabeth—the parents of John the Baptist. 

Setting Gentleness Aside?

This episode finishes our (mini) series called Gentle Giants that focuses on the topic of gentleness in Scripture. Is it ever okay to set gentleness aside? 

Power Under Control

This episode continues a short (mini) series called Gentle Giants that will focus on the topic of gentleness in Scripture. We're digging further into the true power in gentleness.
