    A sermon for Epiphany Sunday.

    “Looking for God” Matthew 2:1-12 Today is Epiphany, according to the Christian calendar. Now what do we mean by that? Epiphany, really is that same word, as in, “Wow.

    Our Example Within Suffering

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 8, 2020
     | 4,287 views

    Peter had dealt at length with the life believers were expected to live, even in the midst of trials and suffering. Looking to the greatest example he had, Peter offered a challenge for the church to follow in the path Jesus had set before them.

    Our Example within Suffering 1 Peter 2: 21-25 Our text today is a rich passage that deals with much of what Christ endured on our behalf. Peter also speaks of the abundance believers receive through a relationship with Christ. While these truths are universal, and foundational elements of the ...read more

    In the Beatitudes, Jesus shows the way of the believer. As we follow Christ daily, we will be blest. Our focus should be on the blessing, not the circumstance, and we should share the blessing with others.

    Matthew 5:1-12 Bless You! Today is a sermon on a sermon, perhaps the most famous sermon of all: the Beatitudes, part of Jesus’ longer Sermon on the Mount. The word “beatitude” means “blessed” in Latin. The Beatitudes are all about finding blessings in unexpected places. Who would expect to be ...read more

    Jesus' First Miracle Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
     | 7,170 views

    “This just doesn’t seem to make much sense.” How many times do you think the people there for Jesus' first miracle asked that question? This event in the life of Jesus confirms exactly who Jesus was and how God works – amazing solutions that we would have never expected.

    Just this past week, one of my daughters was looking through the scrapbooks that my wife has assembled throughout the years of various events in their lives. One of the things you’ll find for each of them is the famous “First day of school” picture. Those pictures are kind of fun to look at and ...read more

    Should we allow culture dictate how we interpret God's Word? While most Christians would resoundingly say NO, culture often dictates what and how we read the Bible.

    With so many scandals inside the Church and attacks from outside the Church, we can sometimes wonder if the Church will survive. Jesus promises that His Church will prevail! And as it prevails, we prevail, too.

    Opening Remarks and Introduction In the past few years, Christian churches have been rocked by problems both inside and outside the church. In 2017, we saw a shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, and recently a mega-church in town hit the news recently with one youth worker and some of ...read more

    A sermon focusing on the elder son in the prodigal son parable.

    “Two Lost Sons” Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 This is probably one of the best known parables of Jesus in the Bible.

    The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

    INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more
