Why is it that some Christians never seem to change, never seem to grow in their faith? While others seem to never stop growing in love & faith? In this message, we look at how we can experience God's transforming presence day after day, week after week, year after year. 2 Corinthians 3:7-18

How highly you value God will determine how highly you value his love for you. If God means little to you, then his love will mean little to you. In fact, his love will make you uncomfortable.

What do you do when God gives you more than you can handle? When life throws at you more than you can take? When you know that you are in over your head and there seems to be no way out?

Unlike our world that exalts strength over weakness, God uses weakness to overcome the power of evil in the world, as best seen in the example of Jesus Christ, through whom God overcame the power of sin and death. In a world that strives for power, are we weak enough for God to use us powerfully?

God has designed us to stop working, stop worrying, and sleep for nearly a third of our lives. Why? Does the Bible have anything to say about our hours (& years) of unconsciousness? Psalm 127

Until Jesus comes back, there will always be doubts. There always be things that we cannot make sense of. If we hope to not fall away, we must not simply fill our heads with the Truth. We must fill our hearts with His Beauty & Goodness & Love & Hope. We must not simply read books that answer our questions. We must worship.

Who you listen to will determine the path and final destination of your life. Are you listening to the right voices?

It doesn't matter how society sees us. All that matters is that to God, we are his prized possession, his Church. And as his Church, we've got a role to play in redeeming this world.

Questions of Scripture & Homosexuality - sermon excerpt

It’s not enough to know the “right” answer. You have to know how to apply it. You have to know – in the moment – how do I live the truth? This sermon addresses some of our most pressing questions: Should I attend gay weddings? How do we treat homosexuals within the church? How do we talk to LGBT people with both grace and truth? How do we talk to our kids about homosexuality?

What does the Bible say? Can same-sex sex be glorifying to God & good for those involved? Or, is it a sin that needs to be struggled with & resisted & repented of & forgiven by the blood of Christ (just like any other sin)?

How can a loving God send good people to hell? It's a question that most of us have had at one time. But how do you answer it? Can God be truly loving, but also a judge?

Is it right or is it wrong? Today, the Western world has almost no way to answer this question. (And the answer people give today might change tomorrow.) This message looks at how Christians in the West have attempted to answer these types of questions in the past... and how we might approach the pressing moral questions of our day.

Guest speaker, Peter Armstrong, shares from Scripture & his own life about the power of Christ

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation... Philippians 4:12

Don’t let the world steal your joy. Don’t let their insults & violence turn you to revenge. Don’t let all the broken pieces of life stop you from seeing the great wholeness that we have in Christ. Life is a gift & you can trust the One who gave it. Philippians 4:4-9
