"you Don't Have To Go To Church To Be A Christian" Series

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019

This common reason for not coming to church shows two fundamental misunderstandings: 1) what is a Christian and 2) what is church. Help someone see that being a Christian means being part of a church.

People are not going to church as much as they used to. I could give you the statistics, but I don’t think that I need to because you’ve probably personally observed or experienced it yourself. You may have seen it with your own family members, your co-workers, your friends, in the conversations ...read more

Eternal Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 28, 2018

Our days are like pearls strung together on a thread. One event triggers another but we can’t foresee what’s to come. Not so for God. God dwells in eternity. He exists in the past and in the present and in the future … all at the same moment.

What is truly the one thing that money can’t buy? It’s time!

A Celebration Of Unity

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 23, 2021

Deep divisions over politics, pandemic responses, vaccines, racial and ethnic justice, and many other issues abound. The church should be a safe haven from the divisiveness. How do we live together in unity that the psalmist celebrates? What does it mean to live in unity with today’s realities?

Sermon - A Celebration of Unity Scripture Text - Psalm 133:1-3 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;3 As ...read more

Believing In Jesus Is Not Enough (John 8:12-59) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

In John, there are a cluster of verbs Jesus wants from us, to be full disciples, and we have to hold them all together. If we focus too hard on "believing," we will misunderstand Jesus, and what he wants.

Last week, we read just two verses from John 8, spending the rest of our time in Leviticus 23 and Exodus 13. I scratched my itch to get back to the OT, and I'm ready to take another shot at this. I say that, but this is probably the most depressing chapter (I hope!) in the entire gospel of ...read more

The Source Of Satisfaction Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 16, 2021

Jesus had to admonish her that the water from the well will never quench her thirst for ever. She would have drink this physical water many times a day to be satisfied. This is very similar to a person who is in an addiction. The habit is never satiated. There is a constant desire for more.

Chapter 2 – Source of satisfaction John 8:36, “So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.”(NRSV) We looked in the previous chapter at various things that people are addicted to – drugs, alcohol, smoking, pornography and certain kinds of friendships and relationships that are not ...read more
