    Satan uses hypocrisy, fratricide, and self righteousness to misdirect and misfocus the Christian (Adapted from a book by Joe Beam called "Seeing the Unseen")

     | 3,071 views

    Christmas, or coming of Jesus into the world, brought us peace in three ways. 1. Jesus brought us peace with God. 2. Jesus brought us peace with our own self. 3. Jesus brought us peace with others

    The Hebrew word for peace is Shalom. Shalom is used as salutation by Jewish people at meeting or parting, meaning ‘peace’. Shalom means peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquillity. Shalom doesn’t mean ‘absence of problems’ or ‘absence of trouble’. Rather, the ...read more

     | 143 views

    Christ alone is the unshared, unrivaled, unequal Rock; surrender means stepping off the throne of self and letting Him reign today.

    There’s a certain comfort, isn’t there, in imagining that somewhere out there is a man who carries the weight of spiritual certainty on his shoulders. He sits robed, enthroned, vested in centuries of tradition and expectation. His words ripple across continents. His gestures become symbols. His ...read more

    “It’s not the size of the man in the fight, but the size of the fight in the man!” I would add that it’s the size of the man’s God that will change the outcome. Follow along as we look at a little man named Zacchaeus!

    Introduction: The Unexpected King Let us transport ourselves to a moment thick with expectation. The city of Jerusalem is trembling with energy.

    Communion isn’t just a private moment; it’s a shared act that shapes the church. In 1 Corinthians 11:17–34 Paul corrects abuses and gives a pattern: remember Christ, proclaim His death until He comes, examine ourselves, and consider one another.

    Old Man Thanks God for a Solitary Lunch This week we’re in our second week of our communion series, and before I get into the sermon today, I just want to go ahead and encourage you to grab the elements if you haven’t yet.

    Sometimes we can become prideful and overconfident in our own abilities, which is sin; and so, God will hide His face from us (Isaiah 59:2). The Lord will hide from us in order to gain our attention and cause us to cling to Him.

    One day a mother was out shopping with her son. Every time she took him shopping with her she couldn’t keep him by her side. As soon as she would turn her back, the boy would wander off somewhere, though keeping his mother in sight the entire time. She would then have to go and retrieve him. ...read more

    When we confess our sins to God, we will be forgiven and experience freedom and joy. Confession is more than just saying sorry; it’s letting go of our sins and giving them to God.

    Imagine you're carrying a backpack. Every time you mess up or do something wrong, a rock gets added to your backpack. Over time, that backpack gets pretty heavy, right?
