1/3/21 Sermon - Joel Teague - While believers' salvation is eternally secure, there is still the real possibility of backsliding in the Christian life. The current circumstances that have faced the church have been a test, and many of us have failed in our faithfulness and spiritual growth. God graciously calls His people back to repentance, restoration and renewed faithfulness.

12/27/20 Sermon - Brian Irby - Each of the Christ-like attitudes and character qualities that believers are called to put on assume that we will be sinned against by others. There is no way to be merciful, forgiving, patient, etc. like He was without being sinned against. Rather than complaining and bitterness, God wants us to take these opportunities to display His glory.

12/20/20 Sermon - Shane Koehler - The Angel’s visit to Mary announcing the birth of Jesus revealed not only the miraculous way He would come into the world, it also revealed the great truths about His nature, His identity, and His divine mission.

Genuine prayer is marked by exaltation of God and a debasement of ourselves in humility and submission. Prayer is not about petitioning God on behalf of our will and our desires, but His will and His kingdom.

12/6/20 Sermon - Shane Koehler - In contrast to those who prayed for show or because they thought it earned them favor with God, Jesus presents us with a roadmap for how God wants his people to pray to Him. It begins with understanding our familial relationship to to a holy God.

11/29/20 Sermon - Shane Koehler - Religious practices such as fasting and prayer are intended to draw us nearer to God. In our sin and pride, we twist them into means of getting others to recognize our supposed spirituality. Jesus exposes our sinful tendencies and calls us to true devotion.

11/22/20 Sermon - Jesse Brannen - All who come to Jesus trusting Him for healing and forgiveness will find Him powerful and able to forgive. But for those who do not believe, even the miraculous will not persuade them. What does our response to Jesus say about our hearts?

11/15/20 Sermon - Shane Koehler - Does the way we pray reveal a heart that desires to glorify God, or to glorify ourselves? How do we pray when we have nothing to gain from it or when no one but God is there to see? Jesus describes the wrong and right approaches to this critical spiritual practice.

11/8/20 Sermon - Shane Koehler - The way we participate in religious practices like giving, prayer, and fasting displays whether we are truly seeking God's glory or seeking glory for ourselves. It's not enough to do the right things if our hearts are still bent on self.

11/1/20 Sermon - Shane Koehler - When defining true righteousness and true religion, what really matters is not man’s definitions and opinions, but God’s character and God’s Law. The essence of true righteousness is to love as God Himself loves. But God’s love is much different than the world’s conceptions of love. It is extended even toward enemies. Pastor Shane Koehler describes the kind of love that God demands.
