Jesus And Zacchaeus Series

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Feb 6, 2017

This sermon focuses on the interaction between Jesus, Zacchaeus, the Pharisee's and the community at large. Lost People matter to God. You can overcome a critical spirit and God cares about families.

We come this morning to one example of what I consider to be the most difficult part of the Bible to understand. So I’m just going to name it for what it is, right up front. This scene of Deborah calling members of the Israelite tribes into battle is just one story among many of the seemingly ...read more

Jesus And Giving Series

Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Nov 11, 2020

Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

A Glimpse Of Glory – The Transfiguration Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 28, 2023

The transfiguration fits with the theme of what Jesus was trying to get over to his disciples, that he must die and they must be prepared. Jesus took three disciples and led them up the high mountain.

Have you ever had what you would describe as a mountaintop spiritual experience? A time when you felt so close to God you just caught a glimpse of glory. If so, it may have been a very emotional experience. Our faith is not based on emotional experience, yet at the same time, when those times do ...read more

A Double Portion

Contributed by Ava Ch on Aug 26, 2025

we reflect on the story of Elijah and Elisha, we are reminded that God's Spirit is not confined to the past. It is being poured out now.

Last week, we saw Elijah at one of his lowest points. Fresh off the victory over Baal’s prophets on Mount Carmel, he spiraled into fear and despair. He ran from Jezebel, collapsed under a broom tree, and told God, “I have had enough... I alone am left.” Elijah’s ego—his belief that he was the last ...read more
