This four-week series invites us to consider what Scripture teaches us about true change and transformation and how that differs from the hype and gimmicks that come with a new year. We will look at ways our culture has replaced what is proven and trustworthy with new methods and decide whether the new is as good as the old. Rather than placing our trust in quick fixes, we will discover God’s wisdom for change and transformation.

The new year excites new hope and inspires determination to change in the year ahead, typically through major overhauls of diets, spending, and other habits. This New Year’s sermon pulls from the encouragement and wisdom found in Zechariah 4:10 (where Zechariah and the other returned exiles are encouraged through a vision to continue the rebuilding of the temple) to show us that starting small might be the better way.

This four-week series begins with a premise rooted in 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, which instructs us to rejoice, pray, and be thankful in every circumstance. That is a challenging command! Can we really rejoice always? Look around. Life is full of messy and difficult situations, over many of which we have little control. This series examines how to find strength in the Lord, practice gratitude, embrace lament, and find support in our community to endure whatever life throws at us with a joyful heart.

This three-week series focuses on Spiritual Warfare as we examine Ephesians 6:10-20 

This series connects us with the themes found in the often strange and mysterious dreams, visions, and prophecies in the second half of Daniel. In the midst of exile and mourning, Daniel cried out to God. He demonstrates for us the power of confession of sin, even on behalf of one’s group. We see in his story God’s reassurance that evil will not always win.

This series looks at 1 and 2 Thessalonians to help us understand Paul’s teaching about Christ’s return.
