Twelve Days of Christmas 2023 - Day 12

As we near the end of Galatians 5, Paul calls us to live as those without strife. Can we take strife-free living into our communities this New Year?

Twelve Days of Christmas 2023 - Day 11

God calls us to lives of humility, appropriate before the one who humbled Himself even though He deserved not to.

Check the Postmark (December 24, 2023)

This week’s sermon:

You open what looks like a personal Christmas card and it’s just a pitch for insurance. There’s always the something being snuck by us, isn’t there? Jesus faced that same suspicion — how can we know He is really who He says He is?

The Leaning Tower of Life (October 22, 2023)

Sunday night’s message:

We’ve all sensed it—a choice that seemed perfect in the moment, but leaves us listing further down the road. Matthew 7:24–27 presents two builders, two houses, nearly identical except for what lies beneath, and asks which foundation will hold when the rains come.

In the Mud (July 31, 2023)

This week’s Steadfast:

Is exhortation merely correcting people around us or is there something deeper to the calling to exhort?

Stare at the Sunset (July 24, 2023)

This week’s Steadfast:

Teachers are sometimes elevated too much while sometimes teaching is held with too little regard. God calls us to something different.

All the Bright Lights (July 17, 2023)

This week’s Steadfast:

Is service a “second tier” gift? Not according to Paul, who lists it between “prophecy” and “teaching.”

Boats that Float (July 10, 2023)

This week’s Steadfast:

As we look at the gifts that draw the most attention, such as prophecy and tongues, how should we understand them and their place in the church?

When Wisdom Becomes a Weapon (June 11, 2023)

This week’s sermon:

We want God’s wisdom, yet often what we really want is an advantage—something that makes us look right, strong, and worthy of respect. In James 3:13–17, wisdom from above takes a startlingly different shape: meek conduct, mercy, gentleness, and a willingness to be taught. What does that wisdom ask of us as we wait for Jesus to return?

The Greatest Resume (May 14, 2023)

Sunday night’s message:

Rather than seeking to be known as impressive or indispensable, Christians are called to be known as servants of Jesus. Every person is made in the image of God, and the only credential that truly matters on our “resume” before Him is knowing Him.
