What is your favorite cliche? We talk about the cliches of the Christian faith and of our sinful lives and how Jesus brings comfort through all of those things. Sermon Scripture: 1 Peter 2:2–10 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—if indeed you have…
We talk about what it is that makes us feel really alive and how Jesus, the Good Shepherd, brings us real life as He puts His own on the line for us. Sermon Scripture: 1 Peter 2:19–25 For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. For what…
We talk about what fears we’re responding to and how they help us to understand responding to God.

As obedient children, do…

Sermon Scripture: John 4:1–42 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus…
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…
