    It’s here on the Road to Emmaus that you and I learn powerful lessons on how to experience a personal awakening. My aim this morning is this: for you to experience a personal time of worship.

Sometimes our following is a simple and non-committed social media follow - we might just want to be in the know. Other times our following results in a certain ...read more

    By looking at Jesus feeding the 5000, we realize Jesus already knows what he wants to do in your situation. Don’t limit the possibilities to only what you can imagine. And, remember what Jesus has done in the past and trust him for something big.

    For those of us who want Jesus to be predictable, I have bad news and good news. The bad news is. Jesus is not predictable. Never has been, never will be. The good news is, he knows what he is doing and its all for the best. The disciples experienced the same kind of hopes and expectations. It ...read more

    Because of the work of the suffering servant, we don’t have to live empty, barren, unfruitful lives anymore. We can rejoice because we have everything necessary for a dynamic spiritual life and godliness through the true and personal knowledge of the One who called us to Himself.

    Now, here we are at the beginning of the year 2023. Even though we have no idea what this year holds for us, I know that God wants us to grow deeper in our relationship with Him and take steps of faith to trust Him for even greater things, to watch Him take seemingly impossible situations and make ...read more

    A call to authentic discipleship inspired by Kyle Idelman's smallgroup study, Not A Fan, this three-point expository sermon identifies three marks of genuine Christ-followers: denial, dedication, and direction.
