This Tuesday, Pastor Derek taught us how to pray like Jesus through dissecting the Lord's Prayer and applying the P.R.A.Y. acronym to it. The main idea for this sermon was praying like Jesus means connecting to our Father. This looks like pausing and silencing our thoughts, rejoicing in what the Lord is doing in your life, asking him for your needs and the needs of others, and yielding to his will over your life.

This Tuesday, Pastor Derek started a new sermon series titled Pray Like This, with the first sermon teaching us how to pray like children. We went through Mark 10 to see how Jesus responds to children and then looked at how children act today. They’re honest, they ask, and they’re talkative and we applied these to our prayer lives to grow in praying like children.

This Tuesday we ended our love series by having pastor Jon and KC take us through the topic of marriage. We looked at the first marriage relationship in Genesis 2 with Adam and Eve, and we talked about the four purposes of marriage taken from John Mark Comer's book Loveology; Friendship, Gardening, Sex, and Family.

This week, Pastor Derek took us through Judges 14 where it tells the story of Samson and the lion. We learned that we need to run away from "the cliff of sex" and run towards Jesus. Pastor Derek taught us that we must trust the creator of sex over the creation that is sex.

This Tuesday, Pastor Derek continued our love series by speaking on the topic of dating. We looked into the relationship that the man and woman had in the book song of Solomon, and we looked at what our relationships should look like on the way to marriage using John Mark Comer's four marks; the chase, the line, the friends, and the journey to the day.

This Tuesday, Pastor Derek kicked off our love series! We walked through 1 John 4 and talked about God's attribute of love as well as the four different types of love in the greek language.

This week, Pastor Derek finished off one of our favorite sermon series, Lies at Large, speaking more on the third enemy of the soul, the world. While the last two weeks have touched on the lies and desires within our flesh, this week Pastor Derek showed us how the world deceives us through normalizing sin.

This Tuesday, Pastor Derek continued our sermon series by speaking on how the flesh deceives us through our disordered desires. He dives into the difference between our strongest desirers and our deepest desirers and helps us discern between the two.

This Tuesday, Pastor Derek started the semester off with a new sermon series titled Lies at Large, inspired by a book called "Live No Lies" by John Mark Comer. Pastor Derek explained who the devil is and how he uses lies to keep us from God.

This Tuesday, Pastor Derek wrapped up our sermon series, and our fall semester with a powerful message! Looking at Simeon's prophecy over Mary and the "sword that will pierce her soul", Derek explained that when we're faced with inner turmoil, causing us to choose between this world and God, we must look to Jesus.
