We Cannot But Speak
Acts 4.1-31 Have things ever become uncomfortable in your life because of Jesus? Maybe he’s moved powerfully so you that can’t stop talking about him even when others are annoyed. Maybe you’ve been threatened or warned and wondered what to do next. This Sunday, we’ll see the Holy Spirit bring…

Sermon: The Power of Jesus’ Name
Acts 3 Living in a broken world with broken bodies brings about a deep desire for the power of God in our lives. Rightly, we want healing. We want a clear move of God. Yet, when healing comes, it’s easy for us to miss or mistake its source. This Sunday, as we work through Acts 3, we’ll see a man...

Acts 2:42-47 Christ ascended to his royal throne and sent his Holy Spirit on his church at Pentecost. After the Holy Spirit fell, in response to Peter’s sermon, 3,000 repented of their sins, trusted in Jesus and were baptized. Now what do they do? Acts 2:42-47 gives us a picture of the gospel...

Sermon: Repent and Be Baptized

Sermon: Know for Certain
Acts 2.1-36 After much waiting for God to fulfill his promise to the disciples, the Holy Spirit arrives in Jerusalem with quite a stir.

-
Sermon: Witnesses With One Accord
Acts 1.12-26 This Sunday, we’ll see Jesus’ disciples together, united, and what the scriptures call of “one accord.” Yet, there was no overlooking what Judas had done in betraying Jesus at his arrest. There was no overlooking that left a gap in their leadership. But as the disciples pursued God…

Sermon: Unless the Lord Builds the House
What do we do when our hopes and dreams die? How should we respond when the projects or the home or the family we wanted we don’t get? Everything around us tells us that if we work hard, if we apply the right methods or know the right processes or make the right connections, then all of our…

Sermon: Waiting with Great Hope
Our world is increasingly moving toward providing a life that allows and instructs us to get what we want, when we want it. We are subtly and not-so-subtly taught that waiting is something to be avoided at all costs. But what happens when there is no option other than to wait for something we…

Sermon: A Priest Forever
Have you ever wondered what God is doing right now and how your life might be connected to His greater mission? Psalm 110, the most-quoted psalm in the New Testament, is cited by Jesus and His apostles and prophetically foretold that God the Father would place His Son at His right hand and then...
-
Sermon: Hear My Prayer, O Lord!
When we feel crushed by life, faint, and alone, who do we run to? What does our soul thirst for when we are in despair? Do we run from God, hide from Him, or ignore Him? Psalm 143 was written by David in a time of great despair. David recognizes that he cannot stand before God and earn His favor....

Sermon: Give Thanks to the Lord
Give thanks to the Lord. We’ve heard it said. We know it’s a good idea. We’ve read it in the scriptures. We may not even object, but pressure mounts, business overwhelms, and discontent can rise up. But only so long as we don’t remember who God is and only so long as we don’t remember what he’s...

Sermon: At the Table We Proclaim Christ's Death
1 Corinthians 11.26 While instructing the Corinthian church on the Lord’s Supper, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” (1 Corinthians 11:26 ESV). It is not too difficult to read that and then shake our heads…

Sermon: Jesus, the Greatest Servant
Mark 10.35-45 _Who is the greatest? How can it be me? _ These are the last questions we’d expect to hear the disciples were asking Jesus ... or at least we’d hope they wouldn’t.

-
Sermon: Trust in God's King
This Sunday, we’ll bring our sermon series, "God’s King", to a close as we complete the Book of Samuel. When the book began, God’s people were being led poorly and desired a king like the nations. As the book ends, though a broken man himself, God’s King David is on the throne, confessing his…

Sermon: Rebellion Defeated, Kingdom Re-Established
We have no portion in David With these words, Sheba initiates a rebellion against David and divides his kingdom.

-
Sermon: God's Peace
