Pastor Stephen preaches on John 5:1-9 and the pool of Bethzatha (also known as Bethesda). What is it that makes this a "house of mercy?" NOTHING. Not until Jesus arrives on the scene.

Pastor Stephen preaches on John 4:46-54 and asks the question: Do we have more faith in the sign or the Sign-giver?

Pastor Stephen ends our series on "A Child of Promise" by summing up what we have learned as well as discussing what it means to hold on to hope. Psalm 89 reminds us that to hope is to trust that God has a brighter tomorrow in store for us. As we enter a season of Advent, let us keep on hoping and waiting on God.

Pastor Stephen preaches on David's reflection of a life lived in dependence of God. Our task for this week is to fill in the blanks: "I know God is _________ because __________." Our exhortation is to discover those areas in our lives where we are more dependent upon ourselves or others then we are on God.

Pastor Stephen begins the sermon series: A Child of Promise by looking at the promised child of Hannah. Hannah has a dream that God has placed on her heart, but in order to realize that dream, Hannah must first submit it to God.
