August 16, 2021 Let Go & Go | Luke 5:1-11 | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick preached about Jesus calling Peter to be one of His disciples from Luke 5:1-11.
"And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him." -Luke 5:11
It's easy for the church to get distracted from what we are called to fulfill…
…It's easy for us to get caught up in life and comfort, cares and worries of the world neglect our purposes and gifts God has called us to live out.
But the commission Jesus gave the disciples, He has given to us.
The church is not a building, the church is the body of Christ.
We want to be a "But at Your Word" kind of church…
…That's what letting go is all about
…Jesus does the calling and the work in our hearts
The conviction of the Holy Spirit does not stop at repentance…
…It continues as we gain perspective and follow after Jesus taking both our pain and our fear and us it to point others to the saving power of Jesus!
Jesus calls broken people to let go and go!

August 08, 2021 Glory Alone | Romans 8:16-23; 28-30 | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick closed out our sermon series on The Solas as he preached on Glory Alone from Romans 8:16-23; 28-30.
We are glory-oriented people…We are created to glorify.
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” -Habakkuk 2:14
As water covers water. The knowledge of God’s glory is that to the universe. It consumes. His glory is everywhere….
…Glory is one of the characteristics that makes God who He is, and in turn - all of His characteristics are glorious.
…God displays His glory in that it emanates from Him…And that is not only seen in the material world we see, but has always been intended to be seen through us.
We are a picture of His glory - We are image bearers of God…
…everyone will glorify God.
…How will you glorify God - poorly, or in a dishonoring way? Or will you honor God appropriately?
Our fallen nature is to be selfish. We chose small temporary glories over the glory God wanted to share with us…
…Rather than thank God and give Him the honor and praise we took the honor ourselves and or gave it to lesser beings.
…Rather than live as image barriers of His glory we have become obsessed with our own images and images of things around us.
But God’s love - the amazing thing about God’s love for us is that although we traded it away, corrupted it and gave away the glory God - His glory has remained.
Jesus came to pay the penalty of falling short of His glory and conquered sin and death in order that we could be glorified through Him.
To behold the God of glory, we must behold Christ crucified - which is suffering with Christ
How do we suffer with Christ?
…Have courage to live out your faith despite what people say or may do to you
…Embracing the road that God has for you despite its struggles
…Suffer with a neighbor or a loved one
As a church we are called to find those who are suffering and engage the sufferings on this earth in order that more and more people would know the hope of eternal glories that await beyond this momentary suffering we are all experiencing. Not avoiding those who suffer… but being there in the suffering… when going through suffering most just need someone not to fix it but to stand by them, to suffer with.

July 25, 2021 Faith Alone | Galatians 1:6-10, 2:15-21 | The Solas | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick preached on Faith Alone from Galatians 1:6-10, 2:15-21 in our sermon series: The Solas.
Faith is the only passage by which we receive what this man Jesus has done for us….
…Faith is not a convincing of ourselves, its' God convincing or compelling us
…Faith is not an ability of our own, it’s the ability of God
…Faith is not blind reaching it is our letting go of our own control
No one had to teach us how to come up with ways to justify our own actions. But there is no justifying wrong - we can try, though that is not just. We cannot change what we have done.
How does God remove the guilt, shame, condemnation and sin from us and receive us back into relationship with Him?
We have been born into sin, its apart of our very nature. If God is to remove it from the world He would have to remove us. We see this happen in the account of Noah and the flood. The only way to stop the cycle was to start over…
…But God being gracious and merciful preserved a remnant through the family of Noah. Through this family we could be spared and one day a Savior would come and has come to take away the condemnation, guilt and shame through the forgiveness of since by one perfect sacrifice.
The doctrine of justification by faith alone is that God declares ungodly sinners righteous by giving us Christ's righteousness. This happens apart from anything we do.
God came done from heaven to become the sin we committed, so we could become His children. We are justified through faith in Christ.

July 18, 2021 Grace Alone | Ephesians 2:1-10 | The Solas | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick preached on Grace Alone from Ephesians 2:1-10 in our new sermon series, The Solas.
Grace ALONE - Through nothing of our own doing, we have the favor of God through Jesus. We are accepted by God.
We measure favor in terms of what we do, what we have or don’t have. We measure favor in terms of our behavior. Because we live in a world where the mentality is that we must earn or deserve things.
Favor in God’s eyes is not measured by what we have on earth or how things are going… and most certainly it is not measured by what we’ve done or haven't done.
Many of us see the road to Christian maturity as one we work towards by our own efforts but in actuality self-sufficiency and self-reliance has no need for God’ s grace. But when God’s grace fills our lives, and we are open to His leading… we begin to see more and more…
…That the grace that was extended to us is a great joy to share with those in our lives and a world longing for something lasting and eternal.
People who live in Grace are living in favor — so therefore they are…
…Not bound by self-conscious burdens
…Not bound by the disapproval of others or the disapproval of their own thinking
…They are living in forgiveness and are free from living in the thinking they have to impress and appease God. Rather they live in the freedom of their forgiveness and are grateful for the mercy of God. Living in grace is living with a focus on Jesus and His righteousness.
Grace Alone - You can’t earn it and you don’t deserve it…
…Yet through faith in Jesus, you can have the eternal life and relationship… He offers to you freely.

July 04, 2021 Declaration of Dependence | Psalm 46:1-11 | Sermon Audio
Pr. Kevin preached from Psalm 46 and the importance of our dependence to God and worship to Him…
If the Christian faith is a dependent life, then…
…We have one Father and we are His children - we have surrendered our lives to God
…We depend on Jesus for forgiveness, new life, hop, eternal life
…The Holy Spirit comes to live in the life of the believer
Is it possible to celebrate our dependence?
…Worship is that celebration of dependence
…It is where we respond to who God is and what He has done
Worship is a declaration of dependence but instead of something limiting or restricting, it is a place of rest, confidence and trust.
We are dependent on the Lord for…
…His protection - v. 1
…His strength - v. 2-3
…His presence - v. 7
A Declaration of dependence means you need Jesus!

June 27, 2021 Worship Unites | Psalm 86:1-12 | Sermon Audio
Pr. Kevin preached from Psalm 86 and how worshipping God brings unity…
Worship is our response to who God is and what He has done.
When we pray we admit our need and His ability.

The Hebrew term Shalom refers to wholeness. We need that and God can provide it!
Worship fixes what other things break.

Four reasons that worship can unite us…
…Worship means we have One Teacher. Worship can fix us when we acknowledge One Teacher.
…Worship means we have One Truth. We live in a world of contradictions. Worship says God is greater that we are and worship Him means He gets to define what is true.
…Worship means we have One Love. Worship draws us back to that first love, that intimate friendship with God and that one relationship that satisfies.
…Worship means we have One Fear. We have nothing to fear if our judge is the one that dies for us. Fear God alone. He is powerful, all knowing, all present. Without Him you will perish - with Him you can do anything.

If worship is our response to what God has done. What is your response?
…Will you embrace your teacher and His truth?
…Will He be your one love that delivers you from all other fears?

June 21, 2021 I Need More Strength | Psalm 29 | Sermon Audio
Pr. Nick preached from Psalm 29 and God's strength…
What makes us weak? What causes us to be tired?
…Trying to do things on our own strength.
…Not taking the time to rest.
…Not getting spiritually fed.
God is greater than the chaos.
God is over the uncertainty.
Worship is not just something about God…
…What we are doing is more than saying something about God
What we are doing in worship is a glimpse of greater things, eternal things, things to come, almighty things
We are joining the heavenly beings in worshiping
Our lives are to lived out as a song of God in out life
Giving thanks to God together
Why do we worship, praise and adore?
…Because God changes our hearts as we shift our focuses on things that matter the most. He unites us and delivers us. He sustains us through His strength.
