Sermon: Who doesn't want peace?  If peace depends on my circumstances, it will always be elusive and out of my control.  But what if there is another way to have lasting peace?

Scripture Passage: Isaiah 9:6

Speaker: Barry Kilmer

Series: Did you ever get something for Christmas that was way better than anything you had on your list?  What if God's wishlist for you this Christmas is like that?  Are you willing to discover and receive what He wants for you?

Sermon: Everyone wants love.  Poems are written about it and songs are sung.  But where is real love found?

Scripture Passage: 1 John 4:7-12

Speaker: Barry Kilmer

Sermon: Walking, running, hiking, swimming, driving, and living life.  What do they all have in common?  They're all more difficult to do while carrying a heavy load.  While the Bible is clear that we are to throw off sin, it also instructs us to throw off "weights and hindrances."  This sermon is designed to help us identify areas of our lives that may not be sin, but are slowing us down and hindering our progress in becoming more like Jesus. 

Scripture Passage: Hebrews 12:1-3

Speaker: Jeff Schrecengost

Sermon: "Let your conscience be your guide" is an often-repeated piece of advice.  It even found its way into a Disney movie!  Is it good advice?  Should I follow my conscience?  Is it reliable?  What exactly is the conscience anyway?  This sermon helps us understand the conscience and how God has designed it to help us navigate the everyday decisions of life.  If we can learn to use it the way God intended, we will experience fewer regrets!

Scripture Passage: Romans 14: 1-19

Speaker: Barry Kilmer

Series: Life is complicated.  The amount of decisions you have to make each day can seem endless.  And while the Bible might help us navigate "spiritual" issues, where do we turn to find guidance in the "practical" areas of our lives?  Can the Bible help us there?  If the Bible doesn't mention my specific circumstances, does that mean it's silent on the subject?  What if we could learn how to understand and handle God's Word in a way that helps to guide us through every decision we encounter-whether spiritual or practical? This series explores three biblical principles that can help us make better decisions and experience fewer regrets.

Sermon: Who did you most want to be like when you were younger? Who would you have said was your role model? the Bible tells us that we should be imitators of God-looking to him as our ultimate "role model." This sermon helps us understand how striving to emulate Jesus can actually help us make better decisions by encouraging us to ask the question, "Will it be what Jesus would do?"
