The Bible doesn’t give us definitive answers for every decision we face in life or turn-by-turn directions for our proverbial journeys. You won’t find a verse about where to go to school, whether or not to take a job, or where you should retire. But the Bible does give us wisdom for how to make decisions (big and small) and trustworthy guidance that leads us to God’s ultimate will for our lives. This series explores how we can grow in wisdom by leaning on the power of Scripture.

This five-week series looks at Scripture’s markers of spiritual health, challenging us to examine our own hearts and lives to see where we might need a work of grace and revitalization.

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.

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.
