Matt reminded us that a mark of spiritual maturity is knowing that we will never be able to say "I've made it" in our walk with Christ. Our lives should reveal that Christ has taken hold of us. A life taken hold of by Christ sees salvation as a stimulant to know Christ more.

Jeff's sermon this Sunday reflects on Paul and how everything in his life, he counted as loss because of the supreme value of Jesus Christ. We must not let anything get in the way of knowing Jesus personally and directly.

Jeff reminded us this Sunday that we are saved not through works, but through faith in Christ. Our works are to reflect our changed hearts, that the love we have for Christ propels us to do works. We are to view Jesus as a treasure, that we would count everything else as loss compared to Him.

This week's sermon focused on the life and sacrificial service of Epaphroditus. Jeff reminded us we should celebrate those who are "sent" to go serve God's kingdom and recognize those who serve where they are. This Sunday we were able to recognize several members of our church body who have made our move into our building possible.

This sermon emphasized the glorious day of judgment when Jesus returns. We are reminded that it was the whole of our sin that held Jesus on the cross, and that through true faith in Him, we will be filled with joy and worship on the day of His return.

This sermon reminds up that Jesus was accused, flogged, struck, spit upon, crucified, and insulted for us. For our sins, Jesus was crucified. Our past, present, and future sins were there upon the cross. We were humbly reminded that all this was done for us.

In this message, the amazing relationship between Paul and Timothy is explored. It's a challenge for every Christian to find someone to imitate and someone to influence. In the end, we are reminded to encourage our spiritual leaders.

This sermon highlighted Christ's Lordship over our lives and why that motivates obedience in us. Matt points out that our Christianity cannot be another identifier, like pastor or ginger, but that our lives should be poured out as an offering in submission and obedience to Christ.

This week's sermon highlights God's authority and that we cannot make Jesus Lord of our lives because Jesus always has been Lord. His name is higher than all names. We need to be cautious of bowing to human authorities before bowing to the authority of Jesus.

Darrell's message highlights the importance of humbling ourselves before others. It is easy for believers to see why we need to humble ourselves before the Lord. However, if we aren't humbling ourselves before others, we are not only following Christ's example, but we are also saying the servant is greater than the master.
