    A sermon about how much God loves you.

    “Beloved” Luke 15:1-32 If there were one word I could use to describe how other people see you what would it be?

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Mar 28, 2025
     | 924 views

    In today’s text we have a story about a wealthy man and an impoverished man whose stories intersect at the gate of the wealthy man. This is a haunting story and one that features people with opposite experiences in life and death.

    The Rich Man and Lazarus Luke 16:19-31 Introduction Luke’s gospel is known for having a lot to say about riches and poverty. We might assume that Jesus mostly talked to poor people, but we know he spoke to the Pharisees, many of whom would have been wealthy. (16:14) He also was known to hang ...read more

    Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I’m not good enough”? Are you allowing fear, self-doubt, and insecurity to whisper louder than the promises of God?

Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that’s what they thought, too!” Introduction Church, let me begin by asking a question that might hit home for many of ...read more

     | 2,564 views

    On this fourth Sunday of Advent, we pause to reflect on the theme of Love—not a vague, sentimental emotion, not the love the world markets in song or commerce—but the love of God that changes everything.

    Love Came Down: Experiencing God’s Heart This Christmas (Advent Love) 1 John 4:7–12 (NLT): "Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. God ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 16, 2025
     | 379 views

    In 1659 Christmas was banned. More recently, genuine Christmas has been supplanted by a commercial Christmas with the Christmas tree as its center. Yet strange to tell, long ago, God picked out a Christmas tree for His Son.

His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more

     | 121 views

    Christmas reveals God’s unstoppable light, breaking chains and restoring hope through unlikely people, unexpected places, and redeeming love.

    There are certain songs we hear so often that they begin to fade into the background. They become part of the seasonal wallpaper—pleasant, familiar, predictable.

    The book of Micah is loaded and explosive as he judges God's people. He then explains to them the magnificence of God's loving nature, the Shepherd King who will come and lead his people. He calls them to redemption.

    Micah: Prophet and explainer of God’s merciful nature. The book of Micah is prophetic, Micah, whose name incidentally means ‘Who is like Yahweh?’ was one of the twelve minor prophets.
