Sermons

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Grace for the Humble” from James 4:1-10. The end of a year often gives us time to reflect.  What did you see God doing in your heart this past year?  In what way is He growing you?  What are you praying for concerning the year ahead?  An absolute necessity for God to continue His work of growth and sanctification in our lives is humility.  Good thing He gives grace.  Our year end message will focus on the Biblical path toward humility.  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christmas Love” from 1 John 4:9-10. This message is a study of God's love to us in the coming of Jesus. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christmas Joy” from Psalm 4 and John 15:1-11.  The season with all of its festivities is ramping up as we get closer and closer to Christmas.  Christmas parties, choir concerts, and gift exchanges are putting smiles on our faces. But, does God give us a joy that goes beyond the thrills of the season? Yes, He does and on Sunday we'll study this theme of Biblical joy.  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christmas Peace" from Ephesians 2:11-17.  In our second Christmas sermon, we will cover the theme of Biblical peace that comes down from heaven.  In Isaiah 9:6 we are told that the Son is the Prince of Peace to His people, and since that is the case, shouldn't there be a unique peace that accompanies our lives?  This Sunday we will see how Christ's coming gives us an abiding peace with God and man.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christmas Hope” from Romans 5:1-5.  We begin our Christmas series starting with the Biblical theme of Hope.  Christmas truly is a wonderful season that we try to fill with all sorts of celebration and happiness.  But, God has given His people a promise that the future eternal benefits we have through Christ will be so beautiful and glorious that if we could see them now you would be blown away.  As we think about Christmas, let's remember that the best is yet to come.

Pastor Stephen brings the message, "The Wonderfully Uncomfortable Path of Repentance” from 2 Corinthians 6:16b-7:13a.  Pastor Stephen brings the message, "The Wonderfully Uncomfortable Path of Repentance" from 2 Corinthians 6:16b-7:13a.  Acknowledging our sin isn't necessarily fun. Having others acknowledge our sin certainly isn't fun. And then internally dealing with the reality of our sin, and leaving that sin behind, may be the hardest part of all. But the apostle Paul shows us in 2 Corinthians 7 that this process of grief and discomfort is actually a beautiful gift of God that brings benefits that are easily worth it in the long run.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Create in Me a Clean Heart” from Psalm 51.  In our third message concerning repentance we will look at the Biblical response to sin found in Psalm 5.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Seek God and Live” from the book of Amos.  This week we will turn to the book of Amos and do a fly-over of it in one sermon.  Like last week (Joel), the theme of repentance once again comes to the surface.  What does it look like to practice regular repentance?  And, where do I even start?  We'll explore those questions this Sunday.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Rend Your Heart, Not Your Garments” from Joel. We're taking a break from 1 Corinthians until after the holidays and starting a short series in the minor prophets.  This week our sermon will cover the book of Joel where God calls us to practice repentance at the core of who we are: the heart.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "A Powerful Weakness” from 1 Corinthians 4:9-21. The first section of Paul's letter comes to a close with a climactic statement that the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.  In other words, the measure of a person's walk with God is not determined by what he says but by the power of God at work in his life.
