Title: Entering the Wilderness
Theme: A Call for True Repentance from Sin
Sermon Scripture: Joel 2:1-2; 12-17 (Luke 4:1-13; Romans 8:31-39)
Opening Scripture: Luke 4:1-13
How often do we quickly fall to the pressures of temptation? We fail. We give in. We sin. Then, we cry out, make a big show of sorrow, and promise to never do it again–only to turn around and commit the same act. God does not want our showy acts of contrition! “Tear your heart, not your clothes…” He desires that we yield to the Spirit and open ourselves to true transformation.
True, we will never be sinless. Thank God for Grace and for Jesus’ sacrifice upon the cross! However, are we even trying? Do we strive for it? Christ, in the wilderness, demonstrates His power over temptation. Christ is dwelling in us! We are more than conquerors! Lent is a time to take our sin seriously and seek transformation in Christ!

Theme: Spending time reading and reflecting on Scripture is vital to a healthy spiritual life.
Sermon Scripture: Joshua 1:1-9 (Romans 15:4; Psalm 119:129-136)
As the Hebrew people were about to cross the river and enter into the promised land, they were going without their amazing leader, Moses, who had led them and guided them on their journey up to this point. The road ahead would be dangerous and full of temptations. How would they manage to remain faithful, do what is right, and stand strong in the face of life’s new struggles? How could they be successful in this new chapter of the journey? God’s Word. The Word of God would go with them. The Word would guide them and lead them on. Following God’s Word would be the only assurance of successful living.

Title: Being Number One ☝
Theme: Becoming a Person of Service and Sacrifice (while taking care of yourself too!)
📖 Sermon Scripture: Matthew 20:20-28, 1 Peter 4:7-11; 1 Corinthians 12:31b-13:13, Philippians 2:1-11
Key Verses: 1 Corinthians 12:31b, “And I will show you a still more excellent way.”
Being number one in the world's eyes means something very different to what Jesus meant when He talked about being the greatest. 👀
The world teaches us to dominate, control, manipulate, and insist our way to the top to be successful. Often, we translate these same twisted teachings into our relationships, becoming that controlling spouse, demanding friend, difficult sibling, or unwanted neighbor or coworker. 😵
As Paul once wrote, “Now I will show you a still more excellent way…” So, let us look to the teachings of Jesus for our understanding of greatness! 🙏

THEME: INVESTING IN THE GROWTH OF OTHERS
SCRIPTURE: ACTS 11:19-26
19 Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that took place over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, and they spoke the word to no one except Jews.…

Title: A Friendship that is Out of This World!
Theme: Being a Better Friend through Christ Centered Relationships 🙏
📖 Sermon Scriptures: John 15:12-17; Proverbs 18:24; Ruth 1:16-17; Ecclesiastes 4:9-10.
In a world filled with superficial relationships that are traded out and thrown away like disposable utensils, real friendships are often hard to find. 😒
Could we be looking in the wrong places for meaningful relationships? Could we be looking for the wrong types of friendships? Could our entire understanding of authentic connection be somehow off or corrupted? 🤔
In many different ways and variations something like the following has often been said, “We are meant to love people and use things, but we have loved things and used people.” Perhaps this sad truth is true because we have built our relationships on the wrong foundations! 👏

Sermon Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-6 (Matthew 2:1-12)
Opening Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12
Key Verses: Isaiah 60:1

Title: This Little Light of Mine Ain’t So Little
Theme: Jesus is the Light of the World, Living with us and in us.

Opening Scripture: Psalm 148
