    Jesus sees beyond our past and reputation, calls us by name, and brings transforming grace and salvation personally into our lives.

    Some of us walked in today wearing an invisible name tag. It doesn’t say “Hello, my name is…” as much as it says “Hello, my past is…” or “Hello, my reputation is….” Labels linger. Nicknames stick. Stories spread. And sometimes we start to believe them more than we believe the voice of God. We ...read more

    Using Zacchaeus as an example, this sermon shows that no matter what our past, we are lovingly accepted by Jesus Christ as His own. Sermon based upon a sermon by Lee Stroebel.

    One of your greatest needs in life is to feel valuable; that your life matters; and that you are worthwhile. Because of this, you’ll find yourself looking around and comparing yourself to other people. In our society we tend to base our self-worth on four things: 1 - We judge our worth first ...read more

    This message addressed a question asked by my Sermon Planning Group about how to understand and respond to memories of past sin once we come to live in the grip of grace

    "BIG IDEA":Paul’s heartfelt words in 2 Corinthians 7 help us avoid the destruction of haunting regret (in ourselves and others) by suggesting three differences between worldly sorrow and Godly Sorrow. NOTE: Also used in preparing this sermon is a chapel message delivered by Dr. Zach Eswine at ...read more

    On this Mother’s Day, we will look at a beautiful, and probably most significant, character trait and behavior mom’s (past, present, and future) share with God himself: Grace

    What Mama Said Ephesians 5:3–5, Background to passage: Paul’s quick turnaround from his encouraging word to imitate God and walk in love like Christ is to move back to teaching from the negative (by that I mean that he is instructing them what not to do rather than what to do). Important ...read more
