    What gives us our identity is not color or culture. But “chosenness.” Christians are not the white race; they are the chosen race. Christians are not the black race; they are the chosen race.

    “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but ...read more

    Giving Us What We Need Most Series

    Instead of healing the paralytic, Jesus first meets his most important need, the forgiveness of his sins, much to everyone's annoyance.

    In our Gospel Lesson this morning, we meet up with Jesus just after he returns “home.” We don’t always think of Jesus having a home, but this was not his own anyway. In this case, home seems to mean Peter’s home in Capernaum. Shortly before our Gospel, both Matthew and Mark share a similar record ...read more

    How do we stand up for Jesus in a generation that is not willing to stand for much? If we desire to “stand tall” for Jesus, we must stand firm in the liberty that His saving grace has provided. This is a call to courage.

    As Christians we must continue to grow in the Lord after we are saved. We cannot simply "exist" after we are saved and expect to become mature Christians. Growth is just as important after the new birth as the new birth is itself.

    Recipe for Spiritual Growth Text: Colossians 2:6-8, 2 Peter 1:5-11 I. Why do we need to grow? Colossians 2:6-8 explain the need for spiritual growth. A. Walk in Christ—If we are truly walking with Christ, we will grow in grace and in the knowledge of Him. B. Be rooted—as a tree seeks water deep ...read more
