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.

One of the reasons it's so important to understand that we are free from sin's bondage, penalty, and guilt is that it increases our capacity, through Jesus, to express joy and experience peace. This message will examine the gift of our freedom in Jesus and how it plays out in our lives in a positive way.

Elijah was furious with the false prophets, so much so that he called down fire from heaven on them. Later, Jezebel threatened to kill him, so Elijah ran for his life. He sat down under a tree and begged God to take his life. Sadness and anger are often interwoven. This message will examine how anger debilitates us and how we can recover.

The Enemy Behind My Pain (I Peter 5:8-10): When we face suffering, we need to remember that the enemy wants to use our pain to draw us away from God. This enemy is not to be taken lightly. He desires to devour us. This message will make us more aware of Satan's intent to destroy us and how we can stand against his attacks.

Peter's story of guilt and shame is one for the ages. He was part of Jesus' inner circle, but on the night of His arrest, Peter passionately denied Jesus. He even swore that he didn't know Jesus. Then, they made momentary eye contact, and Peter ran off and wept bitterly. This message will examine how to recover from our worst sins.

Marriage and parenting are a reflection of the deepest and most intimate ways in which God relates to us. The family was created by God and it functions properly when we align our families with Him.

Our friends and neighbors see how we live and they know if we really love them. How we express our faith matters in big way at the local level.

The good news about Jesus is something everyone needs to hear so that everyone has the opportunity to respond. We have the beautiful responsibility to take that good news to the very ends of the earth.
