  • The King is Here – Rev. Ross Furio
    Episode 29: The King is Here – Rev. Ross Furio
    If Jesus lived an unhurried life, shouldn't we seek to do the same? This Holy Week the challenge is to slow down, so that we might live like Jesus as we walk with Jesus to the cross. The hope is that when we stumble upon the empty tomb we might actually be ready.
    Sermon Scripture Text: Matthew 21:1-11

  • Casting our Coats – Rev. Dr. Kevin Payne
    Episode 28: Casting our Coats - Rev. Dr. Kevin Payne
    As Jesus entered Jerusalem on the day we call Palm Sunday, people greeted him waving palm branches and casting their coats on the ground before him. That was an expensive garment, and most people would only own one. It was an important garment, offering protection and also indicating status. But, the people welcoming Jesus placed this important garment on the road in front of him. All of us need to lay down the most important things in our life before Jesus and welcome into our lives as our King.

  • Foundation Is Everything – Rev. Ross Furio
    Episode 27: Foundation Is Everything – Rev. Ross Furio
    Who will we be? Will we be a people who build on the sand? Or a people who build on the rock, that firm foundation, who we know as Jesus Christ? One thing is for sure, the storms will come, and if we build on the sand our house will fall. Might we be a people who build on the rock, trusting that if we do our house will not fall!

  • The Solid Foundation – Rev. Dr. Kevin Payne
    Episode 26: The Solid Foundation - Rev. Dr. Kevin Payne
    For many of us, the foundation of our identity is 'what we do' or the 'family we are from.' That is a foundation of sand. The winds and the waves are coming. It's not a matter of if, but when they come. Our lives and our identities need to be firmly anchored on Christ to withstand them. If we see ourselves as followers of Christ first, our lives with be anchored to the rock!

  • How Much Does It Cost? – Rev. Ross Furio
    Episode 25: How Much Does It Cost? – Rev. Ross Furio
    Everything has a cost, some things more than others. The question is really not how much does it cost, but rather is it worth what we have to pay. Following Jesus will cost us all sorts of things. It will cost us our pride, and ego, we will have to turn the other cheek, and love folks who we don't think deserve it. The question we are left with is this, is it worth it?
    Sermon Scripture Text: Luke 14:28-30

    Jesus Christ is still building His church, and through his grace he is calling us to together to do amazing things. However, accepting His grace is meant to change us and our actions.

    You were not created by accident. The Master Builder has a plan for your life. Are you fighting God as he tries to get you ready to go somewhere he has planned for you?

  • Called By a Carpenter – Rev. Ross Furio
    Episode 21: Called By a Carpenter – Rev. Ross Furio
    Jesus saw potential, promise, and purpose in people that had been deemed by their community as the mere scraps of the world. He saw people as only a carpenter could. There is good news in that for us today, as we realize that just like the woman at the well, we too are called by the carpenter.

    Episode 20: Building on Brokenness - Rev. Dr. Kevin Payne
    When Jesus walked the Earth, wood was a scarce resource. Damaged and broken wood was still a valuable resource and part of the carpenter's work was to reclaimed those damaged pieces and transform them into something new and valuable. That is the heart of Jesus' ministry. The world was broken by sin and he came to reclaim it and transform it into something new.
