Rev. Tom is filling in for Pastor Bret this week with a fasten-your-seatbelts kind of sermon on "Culture Wars." Our society is fraught with tension and turmoil today - what are we as Christians called to do in the midst of it?
Do you have a heart problem? No, not a physical heart problem but a spiritual heart problem? Join us as we learn of the issues a “hardened heart” can cause and of the extent to which God will go to soften the heart of those aligned against Him.
Suppose you had an opportunity to talk with God. Would you ask questions? Would you tell Him what you thought He’d gotten wrong? Would you make suggestions? This week we look at just such a conversation between Moses and God and discover both how gracious God is, as well as learn of one thing that makes God angry.
We know that God's timing is always best, but how long are we willing to wait for God? An hour? A day? A month? How about 400 years? Join us as we begin a new sermon series on the book of Exodus and discover how God is often at work in our lives long before we realize it.
Mother's Day is the annual holiday set aside to deliberately express our love and gratitude to our moms, something few of us do often enough. But what are we grateful for? This weekend we will look at just 3 of the most basic and important things moms give to us using Moses's mother as our role model.
Predestination. A big word that we don't use very often and only slightly comprehend. Even as Christians the meaning varies significantly depending on one's understanding of a few critical scripture passages. This weekend we will take a closer look at the concept of predestination, recognizing that a deeper understanding of this theological principle ultimately provides us a deeper understanding of God Himself.
Are you a groaner? ALL of us groan at least occasionally. In fact, even the earth groans! So how do we handle those "groan-able" days? If we can't completely avoid them (and we can't), what are we to do? Join us as the apostle Paul reveals to us how we can persevere, despite the groans, and maintain a life of peace and contentment in the midst of life's challenges.
This weekend we conclude the Gospel of John sermon series with one final thought that - while not new - reminds us of a bedrock truth related to our relationship with God. That foundation principle is "Restoration!" Join us as we discover how Jesus made sure the lingering questions involving Peter get resolved, and how this truth still speaks hope to God's people these many years later.
When we think of the empty tomb on Easter we first think of Jesus. However, we also think of the others present that day like Peter and John. But what about Mary Magdalene? She was there throughout the passion story (crucifixion/burial/resurrection) but is often overlooked. Join us as we look at Mary's involvement in the Easter story and how her experience can - and should - help guide our lives as well.
In just one week we will celebrate the joyous and miraculous resurrection of Jesus. However, before the resurrection there was the crucifixion and the man who ultimately decided whether Jesus lived or died was the Roman Precept, Pontius Pilate. Surprisingly Pilate did NOT believe Jesus deserved death or even punishment. So why did he sentence Jesus to death on a cross? Join us as we look at why Pilate would make such a decision and what it teaches us about the influence we sometimes give others over our lives.
“Unity!” An easy word to say but such a difficult concept to live. And yet, it was important enough that it was the focus of Jesus’ final prayer before His arrest and crucifixion. Join us this week as we look at the concept of unity and discover why it’s so important to the lives of God’s people and His church.
The Holy Spirt is a part of Trinity, but often He seems relegated to a distant third place in our view of the Godhead. Join us this weekend as we look at the Holy Spirit - who He is, what are His roles, and how He is essential to our lives as individual Christians and as the Church.
Jesus tells us that if we ask for anything in His name we will receive it. Yet there are many things we pray for that do not come to fruition. Why not? This weekend we'll be looking at this bold declaration of Christ and discover what it really means to "pray in Jesus' name."
God’s Word says a lot about love - including the importance of loving God and loving others (Matthew 22:36-39). So what could be left for Jesus to discuss when issuing a “new command” related to love? Join us as we discover the new standard Jesus calls the apostles to follow and how our living this out enables others to know we are Christ’s disciples.
Darkness and Light:- few symbolic depictions are more telling than this comparison. In the light things are visible & warm. In the darkness things are hidden & cold. Join us this week as we discover how God utilizes this natural dichotomy to illustrate the differences between what is godly and what is evil, and are reminded of His desire that we join Him in the Light!
A number of years ago country singer Clint Black recorded a great song about love entitled "Something that We Do." While saying "I love you" is important, we also need to support our words with actions. This week we will discover how we can tangibly demonstrate our love for God by following wonderful examples given us by Mary, Martha, and Lazarus.
This weekend the eyes of our nation will be turned towards the big game, Super Bowl LVII. Yet, surprisingly, there are some significant similarities between playing football and being a disciple of Jesus. Join us as we discover these similarities and how they can help us in our lives as followers of Christ.
Have you ever wondered why God delays answering your prayers? Well, you are in good company. This weekend we'll look at the story of Jesus' delayed response to Mary and Martha's appeal to Jesus to heal their brother, and how this delay revealed that God had something even better in store.
Ever wish you had more wisdom? The bible has multiple books that are referred to as "wisdom literature", and Rev. Tom is going to walk us through one of those books today!
In Matthew 16:15 Jesus asks his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Even today people still ask, "Who is Jesus?" This weekend we will be addressing this very question "Who IS Jesus" and discover that the same answer that was for those in the first century is true today.
