Friendship with God

Jesus has already proven He is the greatest Friend we could ever have. The question He is asking each of us today is: “Do I have a friend in you?” In this sermon, we'll consider three reasons Abraham was called “The Friend of God.” (Genesis 22:1-18)

When the Mirror Looks Back at You

The one who hears, but does not do, is like a man who looks in a mirror and sees his true nature, but immediately forgets what kind of person he saw. God's revelation to man through His word should change us, yet we often only take a mere glance at our nature rather than do something about it. (James 1:22-27)

Honoring the Unseen Work of Unsung Mothers

A mother’s labor of love is often invisible to human eyes, but it is never unseen by the One who matters most. And because one of the greatest apostles in history—Paul, who wrote nearly half the New Testament—openly highlighted the profound impact this mother had on his life, we see just how vital their role truly is in God’s kingdom. God not only honors the often-unseen work of unsung mothers, whether biological or spiritual, who carry the cross in quiet, behind-the-scenes ways, but that very work rules the world. (Romans 16:13)

When God Uses You, But Still Needs to Change You

God uses us powerfully despite our flaws, but unresolved pride, bitterness, or resentment toward “the other” can cause us to stumble and can shipwreck our witness until we let grace go deeper and evict what’s living rent-free in our hearts.

Running with God (?)

Was Jonah really running with God now that he obeyed? In this sermon, we'll see the stark contrast of Nineveh's swift and intense repentance to Jonah's delayed and deficient obedience, and God's character on display; full of patience while persistently prodding His servant to live up to his calling.
