he third message in a series on the promise of Romans 8:28 looks at

the purpose behind the things that happen in our lives.

The story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 reminds us that even the strongest characters of Scripture had times of despair and doubt. This communion message helps us recognize that God will meet our needs under the Broom trees of our lives just as He did for Elijah.

The second in a series considering the promise of Romans 8:28. In this message we look in-depth at the promise itself and it application to our life and struggles.

The first in a multi-part look at Romans 8:28. In this message we consider some of the misunderstandings of this verse and focus on the people who receive this promise of God that "all things work together for good."

"Everything is against me!" cries Jacob in Genesis 42:36. But in fact everything was in his favor, he had just lost sight of God's promises. When things seems most against us faith helps us see the invisible hand of God and trust that everything will work for our good because God loves us.

This message, part of our VBS kickoff, examines the Parable of the Hidden Treasure in Matthew 13:44. The treasure is not what most people think and when we realize what it really is - it can radically change how we see God, ourselves and our mission.

The Founding Father pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor in the cause of freedom for this nation. Jesus pledged a greater honor, a greater fortune and a greater life for a greater freedom for us. This message from Philippians 2:1-13 calls us to respond to what Christ has done.

The last in a series of four messages on the "my disciples" sayings of Jesus, from John 15:8. In this sermon we consider the disciples' challenge to bring glory to God by bearing much fruit. We must focus on the two essentials of vitality and visibility if we are to glorify the Father.

One of the keys to preparation for revival is Godly fathers. This Father's Day message considers what it means to "turn the hearts of the fathers to the children" from Luke 1:17. It ponders what John the Baptist might say to fathers today. He would call us to make Jesus our number one choice, he would ask whether or not we are developing Godly character and he would challenge us to point our children to Jesus.

A baptismal sermon from Romans 6:1-4. God speaks in baptism, the question is do we hear and heed His words? A challenge to find your place in God's family, to live in light of the promises and to commit to following Jesus as Lord.
