The Time Has Come! | Galatians 4:4-5

This Sunday we continue in our Advent Series of the Alternate Birth Narratives of Jesus as we look at some of the other passages that speak of Jesus birth and incarnation. This Sunday we will be in Galatians 4:4-5. Galatians 4 is a beautiful picture of God's perfect timing in sending his Son, Jesus, into the world, who was born to redeem, and that redemption is more relational and familial then we think. It is an adoption. We are brought into the very family of God. Christmas is a time for joy, but not merely for presents, but that through adoption we are sons and daughters of the Most High God! Praise Jesus!

Meekness and Majesty - Philippians 2:5-11

The manger scene of Jesus’ birth shows his meekness and majesty: he came to us as a humble servant; yet he is honored as the King of Kings! See how this changes our lives as we look at Philippians 2:5-11.

An Alternate Birth Narrative | Revelation 12:1-6

Revelation 12 gives us a spiritual perspective of the Advent of Jesus. In the text, Satan (the dragon) tries to devour the child (Christ). How is Satan trying to devour you today? How does Jesus defend you? What does the text say about spiritual conflict? Come, listen and find out!

Joy to the World! | 1 John 1:1-4

Most us like Christmas: time off, gifts, family, food, and festivities. Yet, this season can be one that is joyless. In 1 John 1:1-4 we see that Jesus is born to give us life, both abundant and eternal, and that such life gives us much joy.

Clean On the Outside, Dirty On the Inside | Mark 7:1-23

Ever shove clutter into a closet? Swept dirt under the rug? We do that to make our living spaces look good before others. Yet, we cannot do that with God. He sees all things. And because he is holy, he cannot tolerate the dirt of sin in our lives. How do we get clean before God? Truly clean — inside and out? We look to Mark 7:1-23 to find out.

Drama at Christ's Company Picnic | Mark 6:30-45

The feeding of the 5,000, one of Jesus’s best-known miracles is often misunderstood—by us, but even by the disciples who witnessed it and participated in it! They think they are on a company retreat with their CEO, but Jesus miraculously challenges them to think about him in different terms: the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life. Those feeling starved in their Christian service and ministry, take heart! Your Shepherd feeds you!

The Value of the Kingdom | Matthew 13:44-46

We want the better kingdom of Jesus to grow in our community! Yet, what are we willing to do to see that happen? How much should we sacrifice for God's kingdom? Some things? Or everything? We look to Matthew 13:44-46 to show us what it means to joyfully and generously pursue the kingdom of God.

Tell What the Lord Has Done - Mark 5:1-20

 Most of us want to witness -- you know, tell others about Jesus -- but where do we start? The passage in Mark 5:1-20 shows us that it is very simple: just tell others what the Lord has done in your life. Come find out all that the Lord has done in your life and find boldness to tell others about the Lord.

Peace In the Storm - Mark 4:35-41

While Jesus sleeps through a stormy gale, the disciples fear for their very lives and question if the Lord Jesus even cares for them. We can relate. Often, we also think the Lord is not caring or even watching over us. Let us look to Mark 4:35-41 to see the Lord's sovereign watchcare over us — even while in the storms of life.

The Mother of All Questions - Genesis 3:1-9

"Where are you?" is a profound question. It asks not just your physical location but more importantly how you see yourself before God in this beautiful and yet broken world that he created. We welcome Rev Al Dayhoff to the pulpit to preach from Genesis 3:1-9.

Whose Side Are You On? | Mark 3:20-30

We continue our sermon series in Mark looking at 3:20-30. Jesus again is confronted by the religious leaders now as they make assessments on how he is able to perform these miracles. But not only the religious leaders but even his close family is concerned for him. What we'll see this morning is that we all are on a side as it relates to Jesus, but whose side are you on? How you answer that question has eternal significance.

God's Weekly Grace for the Rest of Us - Mark 2:23 - 3:6

Whether we’re spent from a 50+ hour week, trying to keep the house from falling apart or from having to constantly prove ourselves to family, we all could use more rest. In today’s passage, Jesus proves to be the King of rest, but his enemies are too preoccupied with the “law” of rest to marvel at the miraculous renewal he brings. Are they insane!? Probably, but so are we when we prefer to grind our lives away trying to win God’s love, when all we have to do is embrace what he has freely given us.
