Luke 4:14-30 You have been sent by God to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven in your sphere of influence. This is critical for us to grasp as followers of Jesus seeking to see His will be done and His Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven. And if we grab […]
Channel: Sunday Morning Messages
Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us. — 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Part 2: Fearlessly Sent to Bring Hope to the Poor
Luke 4:18 We live in a broken world. Brokenness exists all around us: in our workplaces, in our schools, in our families… yet God gives us the Gospel; a practical tool for the here and now that gives us hope for the future. You see, the Gospel to the poor is not just to those […]
Part 3: The King
1 Samuel 8:4–5, 1 Samuel 8:7–9, 1 Samuel 8:19–20 Substituting expedience for obedience always yields the “fast food” result. Trying to substitute what we want instead of what God has for us never satisfies our needs. It only ever brings something temporary. The truth of the matter is that there is nothing we can hide […]
Part 2: Compromise
Judges 2:1–19 It’s easy to let little things in our life slide for the sake of immediate gratification or convenience. And God doesn’t expect us to be perfect, but He does call us to follow Him wholeheartedly. That’s the crux of Compromise. It’s trying follow other things along with Jesus and it doesn’t work. The […]
MOTHER’S DAY
John 20:1–23 We often build our identity on things that are not the best focus of our lives. We focus on career, parenthood, or status. But there is a better source. Jesus asks Mary Magdalene two questions at the empty tomb: “Why are you weeping?” and “Whom are you seeking?”. The second of which is […]
Part 1: Commissioned
Joshua 1:1–9 We talk about bridging the gap between who you are and who God created you to be. But how do you know who God created you to be. It starts by recognizing that we have been commissioned by God. Pastor Ryan begins Volume 2 of our series on the Epic Story of Scripture […]
Why We Gather
Acts 2:42–47 What is the point of church? Have you ever found yourself wondering this? Why the songs? why the preacher? Why the time to ‘turn and greet your neighbor’? You’re not alone. This week Pastor Ryan takes a pause after Holy Week to remind us what the point of our gathering together on Sundays […]
Transformational Love
Easter – For God So LOVED
John 3:16 What does the love of God look and feel like? It looks like sacrifice and initiative. It looks like laying down His life in the person of Jesus Christ in order to bring us back to Him and live abundantly, eternally in His presence. The choice is ours, each and every day. Will […]
Palm Sunday – The Path to Triumph
Luke 19:28–46 There is nothing that King Jesus can’t triumph over in your life! As Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, the people laid down their stuff, self-importance, and social status to welcome their coming King. Fearless generosity makes a path for the kingdom to advance. The willingness to freely let […]
