This sermon explores Paul's appeal to the Romans to preserve unity whenever possible. The Restoration Movement began with the appeal, "In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things unity." Are we still willing to be family when small things seem like big things?

In 1 Corinthians 7 Paul gives advice to single people, some never married and some widows. He tells them that if they can stay single they should because they can focus more on serving the Kingdom of God. Do our church leadership decisions today match Paul's advice to the church in Corinth?

David wanted to build a house for God. But God wanted to build a house for David's descendants that would stand forever. While many thought that mean the Temple and the throne of Israel, it truly meant Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God. When Jesus died and resurrected to give us his Spirit, we became the new Temple that God dwells in.

So often we are unwilling to step up and serve or answer God's call in our life because we don't feel qualified. But over and over again God proved that He does his best work in people who were younger, less qualified, weaker, or unprepared. In those moments, when they are willing, God truly gets to reveal his glory in those people. 

Jonathan Roumie is an actor who has played Jesus on several occasions. In an interview he talked about the overwhelming feeling and opportunity that can come from being the physical representation of Jesus in the world today. This sermon explores Scriptures that call on us to be exactly that in our lives and in our world, taking Jesus into the places we go. Are you willing to be the embodiment of Christ where you go?

Your self worth can't truly be determined based on what other people say, or your successes, or your income or anything else the world tells you. Your self worth is rooted in the reality that you are made in God's image, that he is continuing to mold you and shape you into his masterpiece, that only God can declare your true worth, and that Jesus died because he found you worthy. The more we understand this the more we rightly view ourselves and others.

The Sabbath Year and Jubilee round out our series exploring God's purpose for rest in our lives and in the world. Are you maximizing your life, spiritually and otherwise by receiving the rest and deliverance from chaotic work God desires for you?

Some people experience loss and suffering and it causes a faith crisis they don't recover from. Others experience great suffering in life and in leads to a stronger and more intimate relationship with God. This sermon explores those differences and gives practical advice to develop a healthy scarred hope in Jesus Christ.

In our first church camp preview sermon Kent talks about how God wants to change us from the inside out. We often picture God as a being outside of the physical world who won't show up and interrupt our lives. But Scripture paints a picture of a God that wants to love us, mold us, transform us, and partner with us to change the world for his good purposes. Are you willing to become a transformed transformer?

In this first sermon on rest, we are exploring 1 Kings 18-19 where Elijah first defeats 450 prophets of Baal and then immediately cowers before a death threat and flees. However, God doesn't get mad. God sends an angel to provide for Elijah in his exhaustion and in his running away. We cannot outrun God's love.
