What does it mean to endure? We endure based on what we value, and this sermon is about the unquantifiable value of the Spirit that is in us and how we faithfully endure this life. 2 Corinthians 4:1-5:10

Pastor Brandon takes a look at Daniel and how he had such a personal devotion to God that it spilled over into his normal life. Daniel 6.

Godly People: Godly Joy
The path to Joy is filled with sorrow. In fact, the scriptures teach that the pattern is that sorrow heightens our sensitivities to the things that we have to be joyful about.

Godly People: Godly Desires
There is nothing better than being content in who God is and what He has provided. Unfortunately, many Christians struggle delighting in God. Our hope is to be fully satisfied with God and what He wants for us. Pastor Brandon helps us see just how to do that today. Psalms 37.

-
Stay Put
In a world that is always "moving", how do Christians reconcile that God sometimes makes us stay where we are? Do we miss the work that God has called us to simply because we are too focused on moving to a new place. Yes, it takes courage and grace to move, but it takes just as much to stay and…

The Perfect Storm
This sermon is a culmination of how God works to bring men and women to Himself. In the way of self-reliance, God sends idol-destroying storms to remind man that we are solely dependent on Him. While this is egotistical in the human eye, it is the epitome of love, safety and protection from God....

Shine
The biggest problem with many Christians is that they are too dark and gloomy to make the faith look attractive to others. In this sermon, we are reminded that we have been called to let the joy of the Lord shine in and through our lives. Philippians 2:12-18
-
Mercy
Mercy is ministry. If we are unwilling to actually see ourselves, then we are unwilling to see our need for mercy, and we certainly will not extend mercy to others. Jonah 4.

The Power of God
When God uses us, we are merely the conduits of His power. As Jonah spoke this simple message, God brought an entire people to repentance. The power was not in Jonah's eloquence but in his submission to God's instruction. Jonah 3.
-
From Sent to Sacrifice
When Jonah was told that he had to go evangelize the Ninevites, he ran, and he was led down into the depths of his own sin. It was then that he became a foreshadowing of Christ, but it was also in that place that he learned of the repentance that the Ninevites needed. Jonah 1:11-17
-
Am I the Problem?
Before we go OUT, we must look within. In this sermon, we are challenged to evaluate our lives and our own sins to ensure that we are not causing greater problems for the rest of the body of Christ. As Jonah wrestled with his own feelings of trauma, he had to do the Will of God. Jonah 1:1-10
-
God Has Not Forgotten

-
Nothing But Christ
In this sermon, we look at Paul's letter to the church at Corinth and how he admonished them that Christ should be their only focus. He willingly humbled himself and submitted his strength to that of Christ's. 1 Corinthians 2:1-15
-
To Tell the Truth
In today's sermon we learn the importance of telling the TRUTH. While it may be difficult, the best thing we can do is commit ourselves to knowing TRUTH in the fullness of who Christ is while also sharing the truth. John 8:37-47
-
A Reason to Rejoice!

How Far Will You Go?

When Disciples Believe
Faith in God is the most powerful and transformative tool any disciple has. Pastor Brandon explains how believing in the resurrection transforms us. John 20.
-
When Disciples Disagree
As disciples in relationship with one another, we will disagree. HOW we handle it confirms whether or not we are true disciples. Galatians 2:7-16
-
Don't Lead them Astray

Praying Like Jesus
While there are many things to look towards to measure what type of disciples we are, perhaps we do not look at prayer enough. Jesus gave the greatest demonstration of what a real prayer life looks like, and good disciples will model their prayer lives after His. John 17.
-
Know Your Role

-
Out of this World
True discipleship means that Christians are hated by the world. This is because Christians adopt the true teachings of Jesus Christ. The Gospel opposes the system of the world and promotes self-denial and humility. In a world that promotes its own self interests, this gospel is incredibly...

Follow Me: Following Well in a Front Runner World

-
Great Expectations

May Your Soul Rejoice
When Mary realized the power of the baby in her womb, she wrote a piece of poetry in admiration for God. She rejoiced because of who God was, and it was from the depths of her soul. He was the fulfillment of her deepest longings. When we truly desire God, we will never be unsatisfied. Luke 1:36-56

Birth in Barrenness
When Zechariah and Elizabeth found out that they would be parents, they believed that pregnancy was an impossibility. In fact, Zechariah doubted. This, however, is just the evidence we need as Christians. They were not barren because of sin, and they did not conceive because of their faith. They...
-
What Child is This?
Today, Pastor Brandon begins our Advent Series "Behold the Lamb"-In today's sermon, he defends that Jesus was the prophesied child, but he also shows how dark things had gotten in Israel. That helps us understand just how much they needed the light of Christ. This is also a reminder of how God...

I Need You Now
