Looking Back to Look Forward (2019 Review)

For the last Sunday of 2019, pastor Luke spent some time sharing about the importance of continuing to seek after God (Heb. 11:6) and then shared things to thank God for this past year as well as things to consider going into the future. 

Incarnate: The God of Mission (Luke 2:8-21)

Looking to the story of the Shepherds around Jesus' birth, we learn that God's salvation truly is for all people, regardless of their ethnic, social, or economic status. 

Incarnate: The God of Mission (1 Timothy 3:16)

Looking to 1 Timothy 3:16, pastor Luke explored how the mystery of our faith centers on the life of Jesus. The Incarnation, God becoming human, is a significant and rich theological reality that we celebrate every Advent! And one of the great ways to celebrate Advent is to feast around both the Lord's Table but also our own dining room tables! 

Incarnate: The God of Mission (John 1:1-17)

Looking at John 1:1-17, pastor Luke shared how the Incarnation is a model for how we are to live our lives being present to the world around us. As we become proximate, generous, and advocates for our community, God's kingdom breaks into the lives of our neighbors! 

Healthy Relationships in a Social Media World (Presence)

We were delighted to have Dr. Rose Swetman with us to share the final sermon in our series, Healthy Relationships in a Social Media World. In this sermon, Rose shared from Colossians 3:12-17 and talked about the value of being present. 

Healthy Relationships in a Social Media World (Forgiveness & Apologies)

In this sermon, pastor Luke talked about the practical outworking of love as it relates to forgiving others and asking for forgiveness! 

Healthy Relationships in a Social Media World (James 1:19-27)

Perhaps one of the most important skills we can learn in order to have healthy relationships is to become better listeners. Looking to James 1:19-27, pastor Luke shared some of details about what being "quick to listen" entails. 

Healthy Relationships in a Social Media World (Romans 12:9-13)

In this sermon, pastor Dawn shares thoughts on what love and hospitality mean in regard to healthy relationships! Though we live in a social media world, the kingdom of God compels us to live in a far more loving way! 

When Life Isn't Fair (Pain & Redemption)

How can we stay faithful to God during times when life just isn’t being fair? In the story of Ruth we see how God works in counter cultural, kingdom ways through His people during times of trials and tribulations! We watch as he weaves his eternal story of redemption through ordinary acts of faithfulness and kindness. Check out pastor Wes' sermon! 

When Life Isn't Fair (God Gives & Takes Away)

The story of Job raises a lot of questions about human suffering, evil, God's sovereignty, etc. But it's also a book of the Bible that demonstrates that wrestling with these questions is okay for followers of Jesus! In this sermon, pastor Luke gives an overview (and we do mean overview!) of Job and then provides three ways to move forward when we face significant hardship.
