In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Psalm 4 as it teaches us how to approach prayer. For the Christian, Prayer is not optional. It builds our relationship with God and tangibly expresses our dependence on him. Listen to this sermon to learn four attitudes of prayer.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Revelation 21-22. In this passage, the Apostle John looks down the halls of human history to see that Christians have a super bright future because of Jesus. Traditionally, Advent has been a season to look at both the first and second comings of Christ. When Christ comes again, he will make his blessings flow far as the curse is found. Listen and be encouraged to know that despite the brokenness around us -- there is coming a day when every hint of the curse will come untrue.

In this Advent Sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Matthew 5:13-16. In this famous passage, Jesus explores how the message of Advent propels us outward, on mission with the gospel of Christ. Jesus Christ, the light has stepped into the darkness so that we may be rescued. What do rescued sinners then do with this light? In Matthew 5:13-16, the "light" illustration turns to focus on the people of God. We are the light of the world. We are called to demonstrate the light of Christ and his kingdom through the character of our lives and the words of our mouths.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at John 1:1-18. This is the chapter that deals with Christmas in John's Gospel -- though it doesn't have the angels and shepherd, no Mary and Joseph, no baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. John is not interested in the facts of Christmas so much as he's interested in the meaning of Christmas. What does it mean that Christ has come? Using the imagery of Jesus as the Light, John tells us that Jesus brings life, truth, and grace. Listen and be encouraged to dwell on the in-breaking reality that the Word of God, Jesus Christ, has come.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Isaiah 9:1-7, a prophecy of the coming Messiah given to a people in the midst of suffering and judgment, a people in need of hope.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Ecclesiastes 12:9-14. As Solomon brings his work to a close, he draws some final conclusions. Do we delight in the truth?

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Ecclesiastes 11:7-12:8. In this passage, the Preacher looks at the process of aging that culminates in the day of death. What does it look like to live a live shaped by death? Do we shrivel in despair? Do we deny the inevitability of our death? The Preacher says no. Live your life with joy and learn to be grateful for every day you have. Listen and be challenged to live your life in light of the end.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin looks at Ecclesiastes 11:1-6. Life is uncertain. It is unpredictable. So how do we live in such a world?

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Ecclesiastes 9 and 10 as Solomon, the Preacher, gives us a master class on wisdom covering a variety of topics like the need to stay calm under pressure, the importance of our words, and the need to guard and protect wisdom.
