The Pain in Our Families (James 5:13-20): Confession, acknowledgement, and repentance are difficult to embrace but necessary if we want healing and restoration to occur in any area of our lives, especially in our families.

The Threat of Sin (James 1:14-15): Sin leads to death. We often forget how destructive sin is and end up trivializing it and feeding it. Instead we can choose to resist it, avoid it, surrender it, and crucify it.

The Bible isn’t just ink on paper, it’s the very Word of God, and it shows us the world the way it really is. When we open it, mark it up, and let it sink in, it equips us for whatever life throws our way. In this message, we’re going back to the basics, bringing our Bibles, and seeing why God’s Word is still the clearest lens for how to live and love. 

Our world doesn't understand equality because it doesn't understand love. In one of the most unique letters in the Bible, Paul challenges a wealthy man named Philemon to treat his runaway slave Onesimus as an equal. In this message we will see how God's love for everyone changes how we view and treat everyone.

Benaiah was one of David’s “Mighty Men”—his toughest military fighting group. The Bible describes him as a fearless warrior who is noted for his heroic exploits. He was a brilliant fighter who famously “went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.” This message will focus on the courage God can give us to conquer our biggest threats.

The story of the Canaanite woman is about a woman who asks Jesus to heal her daughter, and he does. Jesus’ response to her proves that God constantly enters new territory and breaks long-held and man-made boundaries. This message will remind us that everyone who trusts Jesus has a seat at his table

Sin, repent—Rinse and repeat. That was Israel’s spiritual resume, and they often paid dearly for it. But sometimes, a grace-filled God raised an unexpected leader to save them. In today’s message, God’s first-round draft choice was a left-handed (considered a defect in Jewish culture) man named Ehud and the incredible things God did through him.

Mephibosheth was lame in both feet after falling when he was five years old. The fall occurred after his dad and grandfather died on the battlefield. Though an outcast in a harsh society due to his disability, he later lands a lifetime reward: a seat at the king’s table. This message will focus on God’s love and inclusion of broken people like us and the place we have in his family at his table. 

God sent Hosea into the red light district to marry a prostitute name Gomer. He wanted to use their unorthodox marriage as an example of his unwavering love for his people and how that love can redeem any sin in anyone’s life. In this message we will look at how God refuses to give up on us even when we give up on ourselves.

Speed has become a virtue in our culture. We’ve bought into a lie that bigger is better and faster is better, but the results say otherwise. We may not be burned out, but we’re worn out and we’re racing through life and sleeping through experiences that really matter. Slowing down and smelling the roses is a must, and in this sermon we will learn how to do that from someone who didn’t.
