    Born Of The Spirit (Trinity Sunday) Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on May 29, 2021
     | 8,858 views

    This is the first Sunday after the Pentecost. Trinity Sunday is the beginning of the Year. So this sermon is a journey. It is also the church’s birth story and as some have said the mini Bible sermon.

    Main text: Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost to honor the Holy Trinity—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Although the word “trinity” does not appear in Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 (and many other biblical passages). The concept of the trinity ...read more

    We live in a culture where the price tags have been switched. So how do we know what we're worth?

    “Getting A Clue: What Am I Worth?” Eph. 1:1-14 The Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard told a story of thieves who broke into a jewelry store but didn't steal anything; they simply rearranged the price tags. The next morning, the expensive jewelry was sold as junk, and the junk ...read more

    The Father's Lavish Love

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Dec 9, 2008
     | 8,899 views

    To help us understand the love the Father has for us so we will receive it (become adopted as a child in the family), return it, and share it (with our children).

    I remember the pastor of our church sharing one time that becoming a father was the greatest help for his theology, that is, for his understanding of God. He knew up here [pointing to head] that God loved him, but when he had a child he began to understand more in here [heart] that God has the ...read more

    Just as we have certain goals and dreams for our children, so also does God for His adopted children. Four words describe His expectations.

    Expectations! I Jn 3:1-3 1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been ...read more

     | 4,189 views

    Through his baptism, Jesus transforms believers, heals us and we are adopted into God’s covenant community and thus we are no longer estranged from God.

    What Is Truth? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 18, 2012
     | 8,641 views

    We may either adopt the cynicism of this dying world, dismissing truth when it stands before us, or we may embrace the Son of God who is truth.

    “Pilate said to Jesus, ‘What is truth?’” [1] Cynicism best describes the governor’s demeanor when the True Light stood before him. Arraigned before Pilate’s judgement seat was Jesus of Nazareth who testified of Himself, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” [JOHN 14:6]. Someone has ...read more

    The witness of the apostles to the Resurrection challenges us to face the mystery of our own existence and life, and adopt a way of life that would inspire others at our own funerals.

     | 126 views

    God adopts us into His family through Jesus, offering true belonging and purpose beyond our natural ties, inviting everyone to a place at His table.

    Have you ever noticed how the family refrigerator becomes a gallery of grace? Smudged fingerprints. Crayon drawings. Photos held up by a magnet that looks like a banana. Report cards with coffee stains. A wedding invitation tucked next to a grocery list. That door tells a story. We want to belong. ...read more
