Sermons

We are bombarded with bad news. Shootings. Brutality. War. Racism. The list goes on and on and this isn’t even to mention our own personal tragedies. With all of the bad news, it is easy to feel hopeless. These sermons on the minor prophets offer reasons to hope and declare that we can be optimistic despite the bad news.

For some Jesus’ resurrection only changes one Sunday a year – Easter. But if we believe it is true, it should change so much more. The book of Romans declares that through Jesus’ resurrection God offers a brand new life. This series explores this new life and offers reasons for why Jesus’ resurrection changes everything.

Our lives are filled with emptiness. The complexity of life clouds our experiences. The things we hope to find fulfillment in, don’t fill us at all. 2,000 years ago two men walked a country road feeling just like we do. Then, they had an encounter with someone unexpected and for perhaps the first time, they experienced clear eyes and full hearts.

The opposite is easy to find. Discord, turmoil, distress, fighting, frustration, and most other antonyms of peace, are all around us. Peace though, it is often illusive. This Palm Sunday sermon, about a group of people seeking peace, explains where we can find it and how we can keep it.

We spend our lives looking for the answers to life’s questions, but maybe we’re missing what’s been right in front of us all along. Instructions that stand the test of time. Find the answer you’ve been looking for as we examine Jesus’ parables and discover the uncomplicated truth of history’s greatest genius.

A common internet question is “Why is God so angry?” The topic of wrath leads to a plethora of questions about God. Is God different in the beginning of the Bible then the end? How can God be angry and still be loving? If God is gracious, why does He punish people? This series will answer these questions and more.

Wrath. We’ve felt it. We’ve experienced it. We know its dangers and have felt its pain. Yet, we often don’t know how to deal with it. This series of sermons will further define it, teach why we ought to avoid it and offer solutions on how to get rid of it.

The holidays are full of lights. Sometimes those lights, and all they represent, distract us from the true light of Christmas. This series explores the deep truths of Jesus’ birth, hoping that for all, the Light of the World will be the one illuminating Christmas.

One thing is true whether you love politics or hate them. The same is true whether you vote Democrat, Republican, or any other party. And this truth doesn’t change if your candidate gets elected or not. No matter how you feel about politics, you must decide how you will interact with government. This series explores the Bible on government and answers the question, “to Caesar or not?”

Families are important, but they are also a source of worry, struggle, and pain. While we don’t like to use the word “dysfunctional” about our own families, we know that certain aspects aren’t right. Jealousy, anger, vengeance, secrecy and lies are more common than they ought to be. In this dysfunction we are not alone. In fact, the first family ever created had crazier things going on than most today. This series examines family dysfunction in the book of Genesis in the hope of helping your family become all that God intends it to be.
