The answer is Jesus. That’s not the easy answer; that’s the only answer. The starting point for a believer’s efforts to make sense of what they’re facing lies in God. This sermon looks at a story of tragedy in David’s life and how he responded.

Paul called the church in Colossae to be rooted and established in the faith, a message for all of us. This sermon acknowledges some of the “earthquakes” that shake the foundation of our lives and looks at God’s call to us in His Word to dig down deep and find the strong foundation we need in Him.

In Acts 13 and 14 Paul and Barnabas take the first of Paul’s missionary journeys. This sermon looks at the stories of what happened along the way.
