No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you. But we must hold on to the progress we have already made. Philippians 3:13-16
Against all Hope - 2021 Christmas Advent Series (4)
Hopelessness can be found in all sorts of places and circumstances: relationships, work, failures, mistakes, self. The truth is: you can’t move forward without hope. As believers, even in the midst of hopelessness, we have hope that should fuel our daily lives to pursue the great commission and great commandment. In this sermon, we see how, because of the birth of Jesus, we can be a beacon of hope to the world around us!!!

Tear Down the Walls - Multiply Series (5) - Acts 9:43; 10:9-23
The story of Peter and Cornelius is all about tearing down walls. The setting is Peter by the sea hanging out with Simon the tanner when God does what everyone thought was impossible. Tearing down the walls in the community, started with tearing down walls in Peter's heart. Proving to the world then and now that Jesus came to seek and save all people.
The Difference Maker - Multiply Series (3) - Acts 9:36-43
Because Tabitha believed in Jesus, she cared. Because she cared, she saw the needs around her and made a difference. Because Tabitha made a difference, her friends had hope. Tabitha was a difference-maker, but she was not the difference-maker. When believers are present it should always make a difference. Do you see the needs around you? Are you a difference maker?
Get Up - Multiply Series (2)
Peter told Aeneas: “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up, and roll up your sleeping mat!” And he was healed instantly. God does not physically heal everyone who seeks it, but He does make everyone whole spiritually who puts their faith in Jesus.

Going Outside (Part 2) - On Mission Series (5)
In Hebrews 13, we're reminded that Jesus went outside the camp and has invited us to go with him, to bear his disgrace with Him.

This second sermon in the Going Outside series, looks at how we can go outside just the same with our actions through compassionate service to our neighbor.
Going Outside (Part 1) - On Mission Series (4)
In Hebrews 13, we're reminded that Jesus went outside the camp and has invited us to go with him, to bear his disgrace with Him. As an example, in Luke 8:26-39, Jesus took his disciples on a boat ride, through a storm, just to speak to one demon-possessed man. In this sermon, we learn what it means to Go Outside for Jesus.

Paul writes to the church in Corinth sharing his fatigue, criticisms, and pain that have come along with following Christ.

How do we focus in the midst of troubles and chaos? We have to look for the Unseen.

Anything Good - Guest Speaker Connor Hall - Galatians 6 (Part 8)
Your Victory Walk (Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control) - Galatians (Part 7)
Paul lists the fruit of the spirit in Galatians 5:22-26. He tells us that when we've put our faith in Jesus and been born again by the power of the Holy Spirit we have found victory in Jesus. As we walk in the Spirit, with victory in hand, our life should begin to look different: we should bear a different kind of fruit from before. Not by struggling and striving, but by the power of the Holy Spirit it gradually and certainly appears.
