    This sermon is an introduction to the series titled "Do Not Conform, Be Transformed" and provides a broad overview of the book of Romans along with the negative patterns in the world.

    God sends his Servant, and what does He do? In short, Christ rebuilds the covenant. He reconciles enemies. He restores the earth. He sets the prisoners free. He shepherds his flock in peace and goodness. And He does one more thing: He builds roads!

    Time and again Isaiah brings Genesis to our minds—Genesis, that amazing book of beginnings. Like in Isaiah 44, where God calls himself, ‘The First and the Last,’ for God is the one who existed before all things and who called everything into being. Or chapter 40, where God recalls the story of how ...read more

     | 981 views

    Jesus pops up to speak in the middle of everyone on a major holiday with seemingly nowhere to go. Why would He risk His life? Why would He place Himself in such a dangerous position? Jesus risks everything to give us a gift that changes everything.

    Have you heard someone say, “I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if I were you?” There are many things in life we CANNOT count on. You CANNOT count on a politician’s promise. You CANNOT count on the weatherman’s forecast. And you cannot count on the pastor when he says, “I’ll be just one more minute.” ...read more

     | 3,274 views

    This sermon examines the cries of Jesus from the cross as his Father heaped the sins of the world on his back. He was forsaken so that we will never have to be.

    Have you ever had a moment or season in life where you felt like God had forsaken you or turned his back on you? Maybe it was when you were young in your faith…or maybe it happened just yesterday. These moments typically happen when our backs are up against the wall and we can’t seem to find the ...read more

    Words spread easily. Kudzu was introduced from Asia for soil erosion control. But the problem with Kudzu is it easily spreads and suffocates native plants and even trees. Knowing that your words can spread so easily, think before you speak.
