Text: Luke 18:1-8Continuing our study of the parables of Jesus found in the Gospel of Luke, we examine the Parable of the Persistent Widow.

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.

“God Makes A Way”Text: Joshua 3:1-5:1As the Israelites prepared to cross the Jordan, Joshua told the people to consecrate themselves.

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.

“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.
