We wrap up our “Valued” sermon series talking about the hardest thing we could do, and how the hardest thing we can do is follow Jesus on the narrow way, but that He makes it accessible to us, and personalizes it to us. Sermon Scripture: Luke 13:22–30 He went on his way through towns and…
We continue talking about idols, this time talking about the idols that we consume – things like technology, food, and shopping. Click here for handout for 4 Idols – Consumables
We talk about why Jesus seems to be excited about something that seems horrible to us, the division of families, but when we look deeper, we see that Jesus is showing us something deeper than even our family lives. Sermon Scripture: Luke 12:49–53 “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it…
We continue our Valued series by looking at the concepts of anxiety and faith. Sermon Scriptures: Luke 12:22–34 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and…

We continue our series in our education hour called “Idols” this week. “Idols” is conversant with the new book by David Zahl, “Seculosity” which is an examination of our cultural idols and things that get in the way of our following God. Today we discuss our occupational idols, things that keep us busy. These include…
We talk about what was happening when Jesus gave His disciples His Words of prayer, the Lord’s Prayer, and what those words mean for us today. Sermon Scripture: Luke 11:1–13 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as…
We spent time this morning going through the business passed at our National Convention for our church body.
We continue our “valued” series by taking a look at the story of the Good Samaritan, but almost ignoring the Samaritan character and focusing on the character who is really important to Jesus, the young lawyer. Sermon Scripture: Luke 10:25–37 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall…
