2024 Fall Sermon Series
August 25 – October 27, 2024
In music composition, there is a type of chord that is played to create tension. It’s called a chord of dissonance. Composers will use this chord in their compositions to create feelings that long for resolution. They may prolong this dissonance so that when the chord of resolution comes, it is a much welcomed and anticipated feeling of relief.
Often times in our culture, it may feel like we are living through one big chord of dissonance, and this may create feelings of hopelessness as we long for resolution. What is the Christ follower to do in seasons of such conflict? How do we not get swept up in the conflict and emotion of the day?
Join us this Fall as we learn how we can sing a song of resolution, a song centered on living out the Fruits of the Spirit (peace, patience, self control, love, etc), that can only come from loving Jesus and having his Spirit inside of us, so that we can provide a sense of relief and resolution to the world.

Ezekiel: From Dry Bones to Resurrecting Grace

Feb '24
2024 Main Sermon Series
January 7 – August 18, 2024
The Old Testament is filled with several books of prophecy by people raised up and called by God to deliver a message to His people. These messages are interwoven with God’s enduring love, grace, and mercy, while also dealing with His sinful people who so often chose to disobey and reject Him.
Because of this subject matter, the Old Testament can be heavy material. The Israelites did not welcome these prophecies, which served as warning of judgement and impending destruction to come due to their sinfulness and rejection of the one True God. And now, modern day Christians can also balk at the seemingly harsh message from the Creator of the Universe, however, there is good news to be found in the midst.
God desired to breath new life into the “dry, dead bones” of His people, and He desires to do the same to the rest of the world – you and I – to bring new, resurrected life that we crave.
Join us in 2024 as we study one of these books, Ezekiel, and discover the tremendous message of God’s glory, mercy, and restorative grace that runs throughout the book even in the midst of a broken imperfect world, inhabited by broken, imperfect people.

Lent 2023 Sermon Series
February 26 – April 9, 2023
What happens when God moves into the neighborhood and takes up residence, permanently? In The Message version of the Gospel of John, it says concerning Jesus, “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood.”
This literally means, Jesus “tabernacled” or “made a tent” among us. Tents are temporary residences, and Jesus’ physical presence was temporary on His first residency in the world.
However, Jesus promises His disciples, and all of us, that in His absence, He will send the Holy Spirit to “dwell” inside all who believe in Him. Only this time, this dwelling will be His continual abiding, permanent residence.
Join us this Lenten Season, as we prepare to walk through the final week of Jesus’ ministry, and learn what it means to have the continual, abiding, and permanent residence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Lent Sermon Series 2022
March 6 – April 17, 2022
Join us for Lent as we go to the Upper Room before Jesus’ death and Resurrection. We will gather there and listen, just as Jesus gathered His disciples in the Upper Room for the Passover feast. Jesus’ teaching session that night contains several promises made by Jesus for His present and future disciples.
These promises will open our heart and eyes to the assured faithfulness of God, as all of these promises are fulfilled in the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ, the Great Promise Keeper.
May the thrill of Hope find true assurance in the fulfilled promises of Jesus Christ.
