     | 1,717 views

    Jesus came to show us a NEW way for sin to be forgiven; a NEW definition of belonging; and a NEW relationship to the rules. And that is some new wine that can't be poured into old wineskins.

    Good morning! Please open your Bibles to Mark 2. I know I am about to date myself, but I wonder how many of you remember Paul Harvey? My mother loved listening to Paul Harvey. He would come on at noon, which was about the time we were driving back from the bowling alley (which is a whole other ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 303 views

    True faith is shown by compassion for others; ignoring those in need hardens our hearts and distances us from God’s grace and eternal hope.

    Friends, welcome. Some stories slip past our defenses and sit down in the living room of our hearts. Jesus tells one of those stories today. It hums with hope and honesty. It whispers to our comfort and calls to our conscience. It lifts our chin so we can see the person at the gate and the God who ...read more

    Jesus invites us to bring our deepest, honest desires to Him in prayer, trusting His compassion and power to transform our lives.

    If you could hear Jesus ask you one question today—face to face, heart to heart—what would you hope He’d ask?

    The sermon emphasizes choosing wise, loving friendships that nurture faith and character, trusting God’s guidance to build relationships that help us flourish and avoid harm.

    If you want to see tomorrow, look at the faces around your table today. The people who share your coffee and your commute, your prayers and your plans—these voices shape the volume of your soul.

Our hearts hunger for a fresh beginning, for a clean slate, for the kind of ...read more

    God’s mercy offers second chances, inviting us to respond in obedience and repentance, turning ordinary steps of faith into opportunities for grace and transformation.

    Some of us walked in today carrying second thoughts and stale regrets. Maybe the week wore you down and your prayers felt thin.

    Friends, would you take a deep breath and settle your heart for a moment? Picture a field at sunset. The stalks are golden, the air is warm, and the farmer stands at the edge of the rows with calloused hands and a quiet hope. He longs for a good harvest, a full barn, a happy table.

    While I recognize that sometimes a church service can seem dull, especially to a non-Christian, I want to suggest this morning that true worship is anything but boring. The very essence of what worship is does not allow us to be bored. When we come befo

    based on 3 ratings
     | 114 views

    True satisfaction and joyful obedience are found only in knowing God and delighting in His presence, rather than seeking fulfillment in the world’s empty offerings.

    If we could sit together around a kitchen table, you’d notice the warmth of the oven and the smell of fresh bread. Plates set, cups full, chairs pulled close. That’s the picture in my mind when I think of what God offers His people: a table where the hungry are welcomed, where the thirsty are ...read more
