In this message, Pastor Mark preached on preparing for a year of listening. He walked us through Matthew 6:16-18 the temptation of Jesus, to show how finely tuned Jesus was to hearing from God and obediently doing his will. What Jesus has for us is often blurred by what we think we need. The reading from Matthew will help us navigate his divine direction. 

In this message, Pastor Joe highlights the hopeful waiting of Simeon, as the Lord delivered to him just as he will deliver his son in the second coming. The message encouraged us to have patience because God always fulfills his promises. 

In this message, Pastor Zach tells a story of God’s people waiting in exile, but they hold to their faithfulness as God eventually delivers them from a pagan king. The story reminds us that although we sometimes wait in suffering, God is still faithful to his chosen. 

In this message, Pastor Joe reminded us of God’s faithfulness and providence as he always fulfills the promises set forth for his children. A reading from Exodus 2:23-25 emphasized God’s mighty salvation when he rescued his people from 400 years of slavery through a deliver in Moses.

In this message, Pastor Zach emphasized that in order for a Church to thrive, everyone in the Church body must do their part. No matter how "good" of a Church we are, we can always be better. 

In this message, Pastor Joe shows us that through the presence of the Holy Spirit, we are blessed with a gospel-given connectedness to one another. Through the power of the gospel, we can administer gospel-rooted care for one another in times of need. 

In this message, Pastor Zach reorientated our perspective on true gospel changes as an inside-out transformation rather than an outside-in. The sermon emphasizes the overarching point of the series that Christianity is not a works-based religion; instead, it is a gospel-centered relationship between you and the Lord.

In this message, Pastor Joe discusses the concept of freedom in Christianity, emphasizing that true freedom is not about limitless actions but a life guided by love and faith. He also mentions the importance of trust in God and the grace of the gospel to attain true freedom. The message highlights that living free means responding to love with joy.

In this message, Pastor Zach invites us to embrace the status-changing reality of the gospel. Those who believe in Jesus are adopted children of God who are secure in his love and never need to prove ourselves to him.
