Our sermons are only a part of our Sunday morning, but they are an important part – they are the Word of God presented to us in our context so that we can repent, seek to amend our lives, and receive God’s grace through the power of the Gospel.
We talk about the best song in the world, the faith that we have in Jesus Christ. Sermon Scripture: John 3:1–17 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher…
We start the Sundays of Lent and a new sermon series called “In Relation To” where we examine the non-disciple characters in Matthew’s Gospel and look at what they tell us about being disciples, starting today with the big bad guy himself, Satan Sermon Scripture: Matthew 4:1–11 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit…
What is the hardest thing to give up? We explore that question as it relates to Lent, spiritual practices, and our own tendencies to try to justify ourselves. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 17:1–9 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by…
We talk about how Jesus ramps up the effect of the Law and how that’s actually a good thing because it assures us that our salvation is only possible by His grace. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:17–37 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to…
We talk a little bit about the product of Christianity and what it is that God is offering to the world in His Son.

Sermon Scripture: Matthew 4:12–25 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so…
We start off our MADE sermon series talking about how we are made to Behold Jesus and to celebrate the relationship we have with Him, how He invites us to “Come and see” Him and where He is. Sermon Scripture: John 1:29–42 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the…

We talk about where we were born, where Jesus was born, and how we connect the dots. Sermon Scripture: Luke 2:1–20 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered,…
We finish up Advent by talking about Joseph and how Jesus is the ultimate Christmas character. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 1:18–25 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way.
