Second Week of Advent: The Light and the Life - December 6, 2020

This week we look from three different viewpoints towards Jesus and how he fulfills the promises of God throughout the generations, ultimately showing us how we can trust in his promises for us, as well. The Mom: Luke 1:46-55: Commonly known as Mary’s song. See how Mary recognizes how great God is, the reality of her lowly estate, and the joy in seeing God working through her. She ties her situation into the promises made to her nations ancestors. The Friend: John 1:1-5: We see one of Jesus’ contemporaries connecting Jesus to creation and recognizing him as God. John also connects Jesus as being the source of life and light. The Pastor: Hebrews 1:1-4: The author of Hebrews also ties Jesus into the prophets, as well as recognizing the finished work that he came to accomplish. He also tells his readers that Jesus is the exact representation God’s being. If you want to email us, click here.

Acts 9: Transformed and Set Free - July 5, 2020

As we continue into our series in the book of Acts, we come to an unexpected transformation of a man named Saul. When we first met Saul, he was overseeing the murder of Stephen. At the beginning of chapter nine , he's breathing murderous threats and rounding up followers of Jesus (with the approval of the high priests). Surely, he was an enemy of the early church.

This man is my chosen instrument  to proclaim my name to the Gentiles  and their kings  and to the people of Israel.   I will show him how much he must suffer for my name. ” - Acts 9:15-16 Saul has been chosen by God to be used by God because he's loved by God. He will share in the sufferings of Jesus as he preaches Jesus. God will not abandon Saul. He is Saul's God, and Saul is one of God's people. He's been changed. God wi

A Brief Update About Website Updates

Until this post, our website hadn't been updated in nearly a year.  We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope to post more videos from our sermons shortly. We are currently in a series in Philippians, and would love to explore that letter to an early church with you. On September 2, 2021, Pastor Jeff's wife passed away because of complications around leukemia and its treatment. The result was that the updates of this website were not as high of a priority until his schedule could become more consistent, and the timing worked better to dedicate time to updates. Thank you for your prayers and support, and we welcome you to visit us on Sunday mornings at 10:30am,  all year. If you have a prayer request or a question, click here , and we promise to get back to you.
