Text: Luke 17:5-10As we continue our study of the Gospel of Luke, we are reminded that even when we are ready to give up hope or lament what is happening in the world, God will do great things if we have faith the size of a mustard seed.
Luke 16:1-13Over the next few weeks, we will be spending some time in the Gospel of Luke, studying some of the stories Jesus told to the disciples. This week, Pastor Tim reads the Parable of the Shrewd Manager, and explains how this passage reveals how different God’s economy is to the world’s.
“FOR: Spreading the Gospel/Missions”Text: Acts 17:16-34Our sermon series on the things the Church is for continues. When in Athens, Paul stops speaking in just the language of the Jews and God-fearing Greeks would know. Instead, he borrows from the culture around him to talk about God in terms that his audience would understand. When we…
“FOR: Loving the Unloved”Text: Acts 10:1-23Continuing our study about what God wants the Church to be “for,” we hear the story about Peter being called by Cornelius the centurion. Being Gentiles, the servants who were sent to Joppa to bring back Peter represent the fringes of those he would want to serve, but he invited…
“FOR: Speaking Jesus Into Lives” Text: Acts 3:1-26 When people think about the Church, they often think about what it is against, or what it says not to do. This week, we begin a five week sermon series on focusing on what the Church is for and what Christ has called us to be. In…

There is no barrier so big…
Text: Romans 8:18-27We continue our series based on the words of Psalm 25:5 by looking at the phrase “my hope is in you.” In Romans, Paul speaks of a hope that is not merely wishing something would happen, but contains a level of certainty behind it. As Christians, we have a very certain future because…
“Teach Me”Text: Psalm 25:5, Galatians 3:23-28In our second week looking at Psalm 25:5, Pastor Tim focuses on the words “teach me.” When we think of a teacher, we are likely to picture someone who gives lectures containing what we need to remember. However, the Biblical idea of a teacher also means to be one who…
“Trinity Sunday”Text: Romans 4:23-5:11In our world, many think of God as an adversary; someone who provides resistance against us through wanting suffering to happen to us. In the book of Romans, Paul explains that this is not true. Instead, God shows His love for us by sending Jesus, who died so that we may be…
Text: John 17:20-26In John 17, Jesus prays for those who would believe in Him despite never meeting Him during His time on Earth in human form. Pastor Tim challenges us to pray for those we will share God’s love with in the future, even if we haven’t met them yet.
