  • Easter Disruption

    It is Easter Sunday. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Phil shares how the resurrection was a disruptive event. There was an earthquake. It shook the ground. But not only did it shake the ground; it shakes history, our lives, and the darkness. We rejoice in the victory over death that Jesus won. We rejoice in the shaking still going on today. He moves the stones, he moves the mountains, he moves whatever challenge we might face. He is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia. If death can’t defeat him, then nothing else will.

  • Palm Sunday Prophecies


    Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week. This morning Pastor Phil will examine three Old Testament Scriptures that point to the significance of the events of this day. These three Scripture are:

    * “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” (Zechariah 9:9, ESV)
    * “A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”” (Isaiah 40:3–5, ESV)
    * “Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.” (Malachi 3:1, ESV)

  • Growing in Serving

    Jesus tells us that if we are to be great (have a great life) we must be a servant. Jesus himself did not come to be served, but to serve. As we contemplate following Jesus and living an abundant life, serving other must be a part of that. It is through serving that we find fulfillment in life. God created us to make a difference and if we are to fill our life’s purpose our lives will be about giving.

  • Building Better Relationships

    Behind physical and safety needs, our #1 need is our need for love and belonging. God created us as relational beings. He said it is not good that man be alone (Genesis 2:18). There is a whole host of troubles that we encounter when we are isolated from others. But living in a culture that […]

    Our lives are filled with daily struggles. We are hurting physically. Many of us are tired and have low energy levels. We are out of shape. Others of us are in debt and struggling financially.

  • Finding Strength

    Our theme for the week is strength. There is physical strength, but there is also strength of character. Strength gives us the ability to endure and accomplish more. In difficult times we call upon strength to push through. Strength gives us the ability to aim higher and run farther. The source of our greatest strength […]

  • Finding Peace

    This is the first Sunday in Lent. Our first message for Lent is about discovering peace. In this world we face hardship and difficulty. Life is not as it should be. We can respond to the circumstances in life with peace or without peace. How do we discover peace in the middle of the storm?

  • Understanding Worship: The Benefits of Worship

    This is the final message in our series “Understanding Worship.” Throughout this series we have shared how worship is not about what we get, but about what we give. Worship is about living our lives for the glory of God. It is to surrender our lives to Him. We do not worship for our benefit. […]

  • Understanding Worship: The Greatness of God

    Worship is about more than the greatness of a song. It is about the greatness of our God. God is greater. He is more beautiful than the most beautiful image we can imagine. He is more powerful than anything of this world. When we are truly confronted with his greatness, there is no other response […]

  • Understanding Worship: Making Worship Part of My Everyday

    What time do we worship? Good Shepherd Worships at 8am and 10:30am on Sunday mornings. That is the time for our corporate worship. Those are times when we come together for worship. But we individually engage in worship more than just those times. We sing the song “Come Now Is the Time to Worship.” NOW! […]
