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.

This six-week Lent series borrows its title from Ezekiel 36 and the picture given there of “the heart of stone” (v. 26). The series looks at ways our hearts are hardened or can be hardened and God’s invitation to transform our callous hearts into “hearts of flesh.” This sermon series is meant to edify your church body by entreating stagnant Christians to seek and find spiritual renewal in Christ.

Many people wonder if the God of the Old Testament is different from the God of the New Testament. This series helps us see how God’s loving character is revealed in both testaments of the Bible.

This five-week series explores the role of spiritual gifts in the church and in believers’ lives. Looking at what gifts are for and how they’re used, “Gifted” will help believers gain a more holistic view of spiritual gifts.

This sermon looks at Matthew 9:35–38 and encourages us to pray for the lost and for the ongoing work of the gospel.

This four-week series examines the deeper meaning behind this Advent season, using Isaiah 9 as a foundation for this year’s celebration. Sometimes called the “little Lent,” Advent is the anticipation and celebration of the arrival of Christ. It is a season that is meant to draw our attention once again to Christ and keep him at the fore of our hearts, lest we get lost in the presents, decorations, and festivities without remembering why we’re celebrating in the first place.

This series looks at the Lord’s Prayer as taught by Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. Each week will consider the words of Jesus and what it means to pray in the manner he taught his disciples to pray. This series will examine some of the underlying challenges Jesus faced in his culture. Along the way, we will see the importance of what he accomplished at the cross and how it still applies to us today.

The work and ministry of Jesus were not done in a vacuum, free from all outside impact or influence. Rather, we can best understand Jesus’s work when we understand the culture in which he lived. This series will examine some of the underlying challenges Jesus faced in his culture. Along the way, we will see the importance of what he accomplished at the cross and how it still applies to us today.

This five-week series examines the downward spiral of God’s people in the book of Judges. The book centers around people having a relativism that caused them to do whatever they wanted to do. Through understanding the context, theology, and relevance to our own idolatries, we can see that the only hero in Judges is a loving God who will redeem his wayward people.
