Ezekiel And The Storm Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

If you were asked to describe God, how would you? For many people, God is a mystery. Yet, I want to take us back in time to ancient Iraq where Ezekiel’s tells of a vision of a great God. The ancient rabbis of ancient of Israel did not want anyone under the age of 30 reading Ezekiel’s prophecy.

The Aim of This Series Over the course of this fall sermon series, we are witnessing a series of encounters between ordinary people and extraordinary God. These encounters are called visitations and they are almost always following a crisis of some kind. There’s a crisis, an extraordinary time ...read more

Why Is Jesus So Significant? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Isaiah 53 “looks as if it had been written beneath the cross upon Golgotha.” Many believe this is the best single chapter in the whole Bible to explain what happened on the cross.

Nowhere in all the Old Testament does the gospel shine more brilliantly than in Isaiah 53. I hope ...read more

Jesus Takes Questions: Part 2 Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

Allow me to set the scene. It’s Tuesday, just seventy-two hours away from His death and about sixty-four hours away from Judas’ famous kiss. So many items are going on Tuesday that we are devoting three Sundays to the happenings on Tuesday.

Bracketed by Palm Sunday on one end and Easter Sunday on the other, this is the most important week in history. On Friday, ...read more

Peculiar People

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jun 8, 2021

Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

"Expect The Unexpected This Christmas”

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jan 2, 2023

As some of said, “If we expect to hear the Christmas gospel without the Advent call to repentance, we will find ourselves surprised by John and unprepared for Jesus.” So, we ask the Holy Spirit to open our hearts to the message and ministry of both John and Jesus.

Perhaps it was connected to some food that you tried. You were feeling a little adventurous and you ordered something at a ...read more

"forgive And Forget" Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Jan 12, 2023

When Paul said that we are to "forgive others as God in Christ forgives us" (Ephesians 4:32), does God actually forget our sins that He forgave? God forgets nothing, but He will not hold our sins against us.
