Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.
I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more

When in Jesus' ministry of healing and teaching, he addresses the reality of the suffering that we experience and solves the root problem of our suffering - sin.
It’s not uncommon for people to ask the question, “why do bad things happen to good people?” Or to state it another way, “if God is good, why do bad things happen?” It can sometimes feel like the worst things in life happen to some of the best people. At times it can feel like God is out to get ...read more
Scripture: Luke 7:1-17
That morning when the sun rose, the Son Jesus Christ rose also. But the thing is this that moment was not witnessed by crowds, it was not celebrated with trumpets, there was no crowd of people shouting. It happened quietly, but in that quietness everything changed.
Well good morning newlife, it is great to see you today at our sunrise service this morning as we celebrate the son that has risen. You know as we gather here early this morning, the world around us is waking up, the sky as you can see is changing from night to dawn. The sun is breaking through ...read more

Have you ever gotten into your car, ready to roll, turned the key — or pressed the button — and all you get is *click*? Or maybe a weak turnover. Or maybe nothing at all. No engine. No movement. Just silence. This happened just a few weeks ago out in the church parking lot. I noticed a vehicle ...read more
Scripture: Romans 8:9-11
If someone asked you to describe your best friend, you would be able to describe them thoroughly. If someone asked you to describe God according to what the scriptures says about Him, COULD YOU DESCRIBE HIM THOROUGHLY?
It is important that we learn all we can learn about God from the scriptures. Why? • Because we really cannot WORSHIP GOD unless WE KNOW HIM. • Because we really cannot SERVE GOD unless WE KNOW HIM. • Because we cannot BECOME if we do not know what kind of God He is. You see, a lot of folks ...read more
Scripture: Revelation 4:6-8
Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I good enough?” Good enough to be accepted. Good enough to belong. Good enough—for God.
"What Makes Me Good Enough?" Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I good enough?” Good enough to be accepted. Good enough to belong. Good enough—for God. Most of us try to answer that question by performing. We stay busy. We work hard. We try to do the right things, avoid the wrong ones, and ...read more
Scripture: Galatians 1:13-17, Galatians 2:11-21
Denomination: Nazarene
God values faithfulness in small, unseen acts; our ordinary, everyday obedience matters deeply and shapes us for greater purposes in His kingdom.
If you’ve ever held a mustard seed between your fingers, you know how small it is—hardly more than a speck. Yet tucked inside that tiny shell is a towering tree in the making. In the same way, God tucks holy possibility into small places: the quiet errand, the thank-you note, the picked-up towel, ...read more
Scripture: Luke 16:10
Topics: Responsibility, Stewardship
God works powerfully through small, unnoticed beginnings; our efforts and prayers matter because His presence transforms the ordinary into something eternally significant.
Friends, if we had coffee together this morning and you told me you felt small, overmatched, or unnoticed, I’d nod and say, “You’re in good company.” Jesus often started with small things—a seed in the palm of a hand, a pinch of yeast tucked into dough, a field under a wide sky. He meets us in ...read more

Maybe you’ve been standing “afar off,” waiting for a word, wondering if God still ...read more

Even when separated or hindered, God’s presence unites and sustains us, making our love and faith in Christ endure until His return.
If you’ve ever waved goodbye at an airport gate or watched a taillight fade down a long highway, you know the quiet ache of separation. We stand on porches and in parking lots, with a smile on the lips and a lump in the throat, and we whisper, “Until later.” Our hearts carry faces and names. Our ...read more
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:17-20
Topics: Joy, Service
True readiness for Christ means keeping our spiritual lamps burning with the oil of God’s presence, desiring Him above all, and faithfully waiting for His return.
If you listen closely tonight, you can almost hear the soft shuffle of sandals and the whisper of wicks. Lamps are being lit. Hearts are being lifted. Hope is being rekindled. The Lord paints for us a picture that smells like olive oil and sounds like midnight—the kind of hour when the air is ...read more
Topics: Oil, Preparation
True strength and clarity come from worshiping God with undivided hearts, ministering to Him in prayerful devotion, and listening for the Spirit’s leading.
Friends, welcome. Some of us came in with calendars crammed full and hearts running on low. You may feel stretched, hurried, or a little hollow. Find your seat. Breathe. The God who knows your name is near. He is not nervous, and He is not in a rush. He is here to meet with His people, and He loves ...read more
Scripture: Acts 13:2
Topics: Worship, Ministry
The sermon encourages believers to find hope, comfort, and motivation for faithful living in the promised return of Jesus and the assurance of eternal reunion.
Some promises hush a room. “I’m on my way,” is one of them. The Lord Jesus has said it. And the homesick hearts of God’s people have been listening ever since. We ache for that trumpet, we long for that shout, we yearn for that reunion where grief will be gone and goodbyes will be history. Does ...read more
